Buffet lunch was pretty good. It wasn't the best I've seen, but it was good. The prices were far better than I expected. The restaurant was clean, the bathroom was clean, and the buffet area was clean.

I visited Basamati earlier in the year and have made several trips back since. It’s a quiet little treasure tucked away. Lunch and dinner are highly recommended. The lunch buffet is a nice offering to try some of more than one dish. I love Indian cuisine and appreciate having this delicious option as a local stop. Tanya is a joy. She makes great recommendations after consulting with what you're looking to feast on.
