Food was lovely, staff were great. Even though it was busy the food came out quickly and very tasty. Will be coming back again soon.
Lovely food , fresh, spicy, not oily and Just the right portion size. Good choices on the menu and well priced wine. Friendly, fast service.
Excellent choice, great service and very welcoming place. Thanks for another great evening on Xmas Eve. No wonder we've been coming here for twenty years now!
I've been going here for a few year's now, and I have to say, it continues to be fantastic. So good, that a friend and I would like to visit once a month. We enjoyed it that much. Thank you for your lovely food and great service.
Good food and good service, we will diffinently be returning and they do take away. ... . . . . . . . . . . . .
Service was great as usual. Thought I’d try something new, the wild lemon lamb. It was a bit disappointing, no heat and a bit greasy. Maybe it just wasn’t for me as everything else was good. My wife’s chicken chat was delicious.
We had a lovely birthday meal yesterday, they went to the effort to put balloons out and confetti and the highchair was there waiting for us and the children were given lollies at the end, would highly recommend!
Excellent food and service at reasonable prices. Restaurant ambience could be improved with more intimate lighting and would prefer to see table clothes to enhance the overall dining experience.
Good food and service, nice vibe about the restaurant , first time I’ve dined here since change of ownership, good work keep up the high standards 👍🏻
A lovely restaurant with friendly, helpful staff. I wanted to try something different and went with the waiters recommendation which I thoroughly enjoyed. Lovely local restaurant, walking distance from home - will definitely go again!
Lovely meal and good surroundings. Friendly staff and a good choice on the menu ....what more can I say. Happy to recommend and will be returning soon.
Lovely meal, go here regularly, cannot fault the food and drink at all. Highly recommend. Butter chicken is yummy! And house wine is very good too.
Overpriced for the quality of food. They got my wife's main course order wrong which was a real shame. The lamb sheek for starter was very dry. The mint ice cream desert was a bowl of cold syrup.
Lovely food, staff and atmosphere will definitely be returning. Good selection of starters mains and side at a reasonable price. Was modern and clean too.
It was very easy to book online. We had great service, and the food was delicious. We would definitely return to the restaurant and have take always for Basmati and definitely recommend to others.
Clean spacious comfortable restaurant. The food was delicious and good value. The service was good and waiters were friendly. We will definitely be going back.
Great food and service but the restaurant can be very noisy so if you want quiet romantic meal this may not be the one. We had to move tables half way through our meal as the guy on the next table was set on telling the whole of Fareham is business and we just could not have a conversation but staff were very good and found us a table as far away as possible.
Good food as always and good service. Booking on line was easy. Walking distance to restaurant a bonus. Would definitely go again for a meal.
We enjoyed the evening very much .excellent food good attentive service. We had a nice table in this gem of a restaurant. Will be back soon.
Good prompt service food very good and freshly cooked and most importantly hot. Surroundings clean and tidy also very spacious not sitting in each other's laps. Only criticism was that the portions were a bit on the small size for the price.
Customer service and quality of food is spot on every single time I go. There was not enough keema in my naan and it was replaced immediately. The decor of the restaurant is also very appealing. Customer for life.
The food was poor quality and not representative as shown on the website. It was a disappointment. We have eaten in many Indian restaurants and I also cook the good regularly therefore we know what to expect from a good venue.
The food was good, so was the service, had to ask twice for a jug of water. But we will defiantly be going again soon.
Our first visit to Basmati was very enjoyable. The restaurant is nicely decorated, the waiting staff were very helpful and pleasant. The food was very good. We had a lovely meal and will definitely be back.
Excellent food and service as always. Lovely restaurant with fresh authentic ingredients. The decor is lovely and would recommend to anyone if you are looking for a great Indian restaurant.
Not an authentic Indian restaurant. No depth to the curry, no quality to the construction. Nice environment, good service and prices OK. Wouldn't go back.
Great food, great Indian restaurant --have eaten there on many occasions across the years and have never had a bad meal ..I would really recommend Basmati, Locks Heath
Unfortnately I got my main course before my accompaniment as the waiter didnt listen when I said a 'well done, Peshwari Naan and the server then argued with me about it. He also failed to ring a taxi for us when we asked him to, will not return to this place nor reccommend
The food is good and the service pleasant and friendly. The restaurant is nicely proportioned and has a nice atmosphere. There is a large car park adjacent.
Another great meal, with fantastic service! We were a table of 6 and everyone enjoyed they food. The Prawn Puri starter is delicious. Thank you
The service and quality of food was exceptional. Having lived in the area for 20 years and walking past Basmati 2 or 3 times a week, how have we never discovered this little gem earlier? We'll definitely be returning, and given that every table was full, we'll be using Quandoo to make sure we get a seat.
Excellent value Sunday evening meal, friendly service and nice ambience. Would recommend highly! Athanu chicken from the main course menu was particularly good and they also do a fine lamb tikka starter.
Easy to reserve online and a great night out with friends - good service and great food. All at a good price too. We will be back again and again.
A very pleasant dining experience from start to finish. We were greeted politely and made to feel very welcome. SErvice was swift and efficient. The food as always was excellent. We'll be back soon.
Waiters were very friendly and helpful. The food was awesome and very good value for money too. Will definitely be going again in the future
Really lovely meal there - all dishes were delicious and just the right amounts. Love the fact that the dishes are different - from Benghazi.
Very good food with prompt, attentive service. The ambience is relaxed and welcoming. The menu is extensive and there is something for everyone. The prices are very fair and reasonable.
Service and food was very good, although my husband didn't think there was much chicken in his biriani but the flavour was very nice. Would go back to give it another go but may choose a more meatier dish.
Basmati serve great food in a very relaxed atmosphere and have very attentive service all at reasonable prices. Just what we wanted for a local night out with friends.
Friendly service at the right pace. Young waiter struggled understanding my friends accent but was good humoured, and happy to be corrected. Food was really tasty, accurate chilli/spice heat ratings on menu, and served at good temperature i.e.. was hot. Mains portion size fine for smaller appetites but larger/ hungrier guests may need a starter or extra sides . Dessert was a bit disappointing.
Basmati was a lovely restaurant with friendly and helpful service. The food was delicious and really tasty without being too hot for the sake of being hot. A really great evening.
Excellent meal. Took our two young children (4 and 6) and all the staff were really kind to them, the good was lovely and we will definitely be back as a family
Good attentive staff. Lovely variety of mainstream and the more obscure curries. Cobra on tap and great naans and good value for money. Not too crowded either!
Good food and great service even though very busy. Have been before and will definitely return. Would recommend to book as it got full quite early.
we have been to Basmati quite a few times since we moved in to the area about 18 months ago. restaurant staff really friendly Food excellent. we will certainly be going again.
Food was nice but portions quite small. Would recommend but probably wouldn't go back again. Tasty enough but have had better value at a different indian
