Basmati - Petworth

As soon as I entered I had a feeling this wasn't going to be good. Yes it was raining outside but the walls inside were damp and the staff not interested or welcoming. The poppadoms had chopped onion,watery mango chutney and mint in plastic cups you would find at IKEA. The beers, we had to turn 3 back as they were clearly off, and we were not the only people to do this. I had the mixed grill with spinach and bombay potatoes. The spinach and bombay potatoes dishes should have been piping hot but were close to cold. The mixed grill(also barely warm)...the chicken was not cooked all the way through. Disgusting. Yes we got a bit of money off for the beers being off and the chicken not cooked BUT you are an Indian restaurant specialising in this and should have better standards and food quality than this. It's not acceptable to serve uncooked food wether you're busy or not. I booked this table nearly 2 weeks ago and based on the reviews I saw we were looking forward to it. A shame for the restaurant that it turned out this way as we most certainly won't be back. I did enjoy my mcdonalds on the way back though

As always, it was a great meal and venue. Food is fresh and packed with flavour. It's one of my favourite places for a meal. The staff are excellent.

Absolutely fantastic experience.A converted wine cellar that is always a great temperature and the meal itself was excellent Staff are friendly and approachable. Will be back...several times.

It was very good service and great food as ever

An amazing friendly hidden gem in Petworth. My go To place

Went out for a family birthday meal and offered a courtesy free drink to celebrate Amazing food as always and friendly polite staff Has to be my favourite restaurant

A very tasty and excellent meal, outstanding customer service and at a price

A lovely personal welcome as always and the food was out of this world

Great restaurant in picturesque Petworth Excellent service and food. Recommended.

Great food and good value. Made to feel very welcome.

Lovely setting and the staff all so very helpful and friendly . Food was really tasty and some interesting menu choices .

First time visit for us and we were very impressed, and will definitely be returning. It was refreshing to find an Indian restaurant with so many choices of different dishes that I hadn't tried before, not your typical English-styled-curries. The sevice was very good. The restaurant is deep down in an old cellar, so definitely not recommended for those unable to walk down steep stone steps, but we'll worth it if you can. The prices are also very reasonable. Highly recommend!

No words Needed A1 as always first name basis now ooops

Great service and an equally excellent menu. Front of house staff friendly and helpful.

Great food and venue. Very reasonable and good service. Have already booked again!

A favourite restaurant that I frequently drive to to meet friends. The manager helped me find a new dish that he thought I would like - so I have a new go to dish when I eat out. Have already booked a revisit in a few months!

A restaurant I happily return to. The food is always spot on and the service is very good.

An excellent restaurant. Service excellent and produce always fresh. Highly recommended - great value for money.

Love love basmati great food great staff great value terrific

A valentines meal just me and hubby. Staff know us as regulars and asked about the family and had lots of banter. Amazing food and friendly staff

Excellent food and service, some dish combinations we hadn’t had before like the Apricot Curry and Chilli Keema Naan. The only criticism is it could do with a bit of a freshen up / redecorate and adding some brightly coloured Indian items... it was all A bit dark and dungeon-like.

We had a fantastic meal. A long time since I had such a delicious India meal. Thanks

Amazing food as always and very friendly staff. A definite favourite of ours

What a little gem. We were so pleased to find this quirky subterranean restaurant. The food was exceptional and service perfect.

This restaurant is lovely. We always get a warm welcome and love the setting in the cellars. The food is delicious and can be tweaked to your spice requirements. Will be going again as soon as possible!

Excellent food, lovely Jalfrezi! Good service. Best curry anywhere nearby. Highly recommended.
