I recently had the pleasure of indulging in the exquisite flavors of chicken biryani and kottu porotta at Elai, and I can confidently say that it was a culinary experience that left me in awe.
We started with the Shappu erachi. What truly impressed me was the depth of flavors in the Shappu Erachi .
The best Indian food I have ever tried.
A had a soup of the day and a palak paneer and they were both delicious. The soup was incredibly spicy, I don't know how I managed to finish it, but I could not leave it!!
The staff was so kind they offered some Yogurt to help cope with the spicy food.

This is my best place for Indian food since my first review and I got info that they are waiting for a new north Indian and a south Indian chef to join their team , which means this will increase the number of menu items 😊😊😊.. love the food here.. you just have to tell them what's your spice level
My Wife and I had our Wedding Party here at Elai Basingstoke and had an amazing time. The staff were brilliant and the food was beautiful and they really went above and beyond to ensure that all of our guests had a great time.
Had a lovely dinner yesterday with our friends on our holidays in Basingstoke. They were kind enough to accommodate group of 10 without prior reservation. Food was delicious, staff looked little inexperience but food was good.
Amazing South Indian Food. Love the vegetarian Thali, Dosas and the appetizers.
I was in 2 minds on this review. On the one hand the food was excellent and the owner and staff were also. On the other hand the area at the front where we were sat, just didn't feel "polished". Trunking and cables and music with adverts in between was a real knock on what was a great dining experie
Very pleased and pleasantly surprised with this restaurant. We have ordered delivery from here and was always happy with the food. Now visited and the atmosphere and the staff were equally excellent. Definitely worth a visit if you are looking for Indian food in Basingstoke.

Perfect Indian restaurant. Delicious food, which isn't your ordinary 10 dishes. Each meal was well described and the staff were knowledgeable about the elements and complementary dishes. The atmosphere was very well designed and felt like walking into a posh hotel!
Very attentive and friendly staf
The decor, food and customer service was top class. This restaurant is a gem in Basingstoke. If you love southern Indian cuisine you will not be disappointed with the exotic flavours of every dish. Highly recommend for birthday parties.
Excellent food and service. Easily the best south indian restaurant I have ever tasted in my 13 years in the UK. We ordered approximately 10-12 dishes and all were great. Food felt home-made and very light. Highly recommend this restaurant.
Just eaten a fantastic combination of vegetarian dishes. Super friendly staff really attentive and the ambience was nice - although a little noisy. However, still a great eating experience and I would eat here again.
My own experience was a very warm welcome, a choice of seating, detailed information on the menu when requested, attentive service without being intrusive and some really tasty and delicious food, spiced just right. What more could anyone want?
