We rece8ved our food through Door Dash so I couldn't rate the atmosphere. The food was packed very well in containers and wrapped with foil. Well done no leaks and the food, while not pipping hot, was hot enough not to require reheating. Quality was exceptional. Everything tasted fresh and well spiced we ordered Chicken Tikka, Lamb Vindaloo, Papri Chaat, Garlic Naan. We started with the Papri Chaat.

I recently moved to the area and have been in search of a new go-to spot for quite sometime until I found Basmati. I now order from there twice a week! The food is immaculate, tastes great, good value, very authentic. You can tell the management and staff takes pride in everything they do. The atmosphere was clean, warm, and inviting. I can’t stress enough how well made all of the food is, especially the curry and desserts! 11/10 this place is fantastic!\n\n-Jordan

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.
