Basmati - Chichester

Excellent service and food as usual. Busy even though half of the restaurant was closed following recent accident.

Very quiet tonight - we were the only diners! Despite the lack of atmosphere, food was excellent as always

Quiet for a Monday evening but very enjoyable. Food & service both excellent 👌

An excellent evening on New Year’s Eve. Sol, as usual, was cheerful, welcoming and attentive. Ozzy (Chef) went above and beyond to make a Fish Thali for my husband, which was excellent. An amazing restaurant with first class staff and superb cuisine ❤️

Another great evening at the Basmati. Excellent food and service. Fairly busy but Sol was his usual cheerful, polite, attentive self and is an excellent Front of House. Would highly recommended this place 😍

The food was lovely and the waiter was very helpful with our choices. Also very friendly without being intrusive. Will definitely go back & try something else.

Excellent meal and service especially our Waiter, Sol. Very friendly and chatty. Highly recommended

Did not get the table we reserved. Took family to this restaurant as we’ve been regularly. Gave me incorrect drink which was rectified but wrong curry sauce which I couldn’t be bothered to complain about. The family near us could not control their young child who kept screaming and running around the restaurant. Not a pleasant visit.

Early doors at 6 pm so quiet but not rushed Usual high standards by our waiter Food excellent as always (fish curry & chicken tikka biryani with poppadoms) washed down with beer & wine

Another enjoyable meal. Quiet for the time of day but food & service excellent.

Great way to start the New Year. Excellent food & service as always.

Excellent food and service. Attentive waiter. Highly recommended. Great atmosphere.

Great, as usual. Superb cuisine with attentive staff and great location

Great food and friendly service what more do you need ?

I did enjoy the food in general, just that the lamb in the Pasanda was a bit difficult to chew, noise was in general, but a woman at the next table did keep talking rather loadly!

Excellent service. We all enjoyed our dishes and the heat of the curries was as described so everyone was happy. They even gave us a takeaway bag to take home what we didn’t manage to eat. Will definitely go again.

Excellent food but we had to wait a long time for it as there was only one waiter working

Newly refurbished and reopened following closure due to Covid. As always the service and food was superb. Good to be back!

Great food and excellent service. First time to this restaurant and we look forward to going back!

Chose this restaurant on a whim pre Fontwell races visit. Food was not rapid to the table however, everything was delicious and well prepared. Attentive staff despite it being a busy Saturday. Lovely! 🙂

Fabulous as always never fails to impress thank you very much

Delicious food, very attentive staff and all at a great price.

Always a good night. great little restaurant with a broad menu and good food

Great food and service every time...will be booking in again soon.

We are regulars to this restaurant and visited on New Years Eve. I chose from the main menu but my husband pre-ordered a fish Thali, which was cooked to perfection. Excellent evening with good atmosphere.

Very tasty food with good balance of flavours. Service was excellent

Quiet meal at the Basmati (we were the only people in) but it was a Monday evening. Excellent food, as usual, with attentive member of staff.

Excellent restaurant, really nice food. Hope to visit again soon.

What a gem! This restaurant was recommended to us as we have just moved to the area. It didn't disappoint, the staff are very friendly and helpful and the food was lovely. Will definitely return.

Fantastic food and great service. We had a wonderful time.

Good food, good customer service and an enjoyable evening. I would recommend this restaurant.

Lovely meal lovely friendly staff good background music just really pkeasant

A quiet evening but superb food and service as always.

Good food and service but decor could do with refreshing now

Took family members to our local restaurant. Unfortunately we were the only people there all evening so not much of an atmosphere. However, as always, the food was delicious and Hamed was polite and attentive without being intrusive.

Fabulous food and service as always. Love this restaurant great

Lovely atmosphere and the staff were very friendly. Went on a Friday evening and the restaurant was calm and relaxed. Great food and good prices.

Food amazing! Staff friendly, really worth the money, recommend it.

The food is very good and the service is excellent. The staff are lovely friendly people who always make you feel very welcome.

In the area on business, found the food quite bland and lacking flavour especially in the side dishes. Soft drink selection limited, ie no sprite or 7up. Staff friendly but service slow despite being at 20% capacity.. Prices higher than most, wouldn’t visit again as other alternatives available.

Food and service was great....will be booking up again soon

Lovely food and great service. The food we ordered was fresh and very tasty, we recommend the Basmati to my friends. We will definitely visit again thank you.

This place has a lovely atmosphere! The food is really tasty and the staff are very friendly and you are not rushed. I would recommend this restaurant.

We visit this restaurant regularly. Ordered our usual dishes but with mine I noticed the biryani sauce was rather runny and devoid of its usual vegetables (it’s usually packed with chunks of potato and carrots etc). A disappointment but the dish was still delicious.

Food and service was excellent, wide choice on menu including dishes you do not normally see in most Indian Restaurants. Would highly recommend and I will be back!

The food was OK; a little bland, but maybe we ordered dishes that weren't very spicy or tasty! Staff were very efficient and helpful. The place looks a little shabby and slightly run down. Not great, but OK.

Great service and food, good value. Staying at fontwell so a few mins away. Thought we’d have a curry and we are glad we did

This is our family favourite go to restaurant. The food is always consistently good. I am losing weight with slimming world and if I have the Chicken Tikka Shaslick And aloo gobi I am confident that I won’t gain weight that week and it’s still delicious. Highly recommended

Extremely helpful and friendly staff. Food was tasty and high quality,I would recommend this restaurant to regular Indian meal eaters and people who wish to experience new dishes without taking risk as they will help you choose the best dish and adjust the strength to suit your individual taste.

Food excellent, service was good,staff polite and curtious, did not warrant a 5 star as the restaurant could benefit from decoration other than that had a very nice evening
