Basil Indian Bistro

Beautiful place, but was not a pleasant experience. There were only four patrons in the restaurant and it took over a half hour to get our food, that came out at different times. My dish was essentially a bowl of gravy. I ordered it spicy and it was mild. Didn’t get our water refilled and no one checked on us, despite again, four patrons in total. Will not deviate from the 13 and Orchard Lake corridor again for good Indian food. This meal was rough.

Great ambience for a great experience. The staff was very friendly. The food we ordered did not taste exactly like what we thought it would be or have had in the past. So, you might have a bit of a surprise but they have some nice innovation going on to present the food in a little elevated manner. For someone trying indian food for the first time or someone who hasn't had a lot of indian food, you would definitely like this place. The food was not spicy at all so that's a plus if you're not into spicy food.

We had an event at their banquet hall and they were great to work with! Food was excellent and they did an amazing job with the decorations! Staff was very courteous and accommodating! Service could have slightly more efficient.

I got a chicken Tikka with rice to go and it was delicious. I minus one star for the price. I paid $25 for the chicken and rice with a couple of dollars for a tip. The hostess asked me if I wanted some bread, it would of been $30 with bread if I would of accepted it. I noticed some lunch specials maybe I will look out for those next time. Overall the food was delicious.

Absolutely loved our experience at Basil Indian Bistro! The food was bursting with authentic flavors, and every dish was cooked to perfection. The Pahadi paneer and biryani were incredible, and the service was friendly and attentive. The ambiance is cozy and inviting, making it a perfect spot for both casual and special dinners. Highly recommend if you’re craving delicious Indian food. Will definitely be back! We were a group of 13 people and Gia and her team made the experience amazing!!

Everything was wonderful. The food tasted great and I really appreciate how well the food was packaged- heavy, brown paper bowls instead of Styrofoam or plastic, the Naan was wrapped in paper packets before going into aluminum foil, the containers were double bagged and placed into a sturdy black gift bag. It was our first time there and we'll definitely be back.

Basil Bistro was recommended to me by a friend from India, especially because she can get South Indian cuisine not offered in every Indian restaurant. We ate there together and it was amazing. The staff were lovely and the service was great.
