Best curry I've had. And I include a trip to India in that! You can tell they cook everything to order and use fresh ingredients, down to the chilis and herbs.
The last time I visited Basmati was pre-covid and honestly I don't know why I left it so long to revisit.
The staff were attentive without being overbearing, the food was really flavoursome with good portion sizes and brought to the table within a good timeframe considering it all looked very freshly prepared.
We ordered the set meal for 2 (option B) and was very happy with everything. To be honest we probably should have taken some of it home with us afterwards as we were both very full when we left but it was too delicious to leave!
I'm not sure if we were charged twice for the poppadoms (as I believe they were part of the set meal) but for the few pounds extra I considered that a minor thing so didn't question it.
There is a small, free car park outside with a ramp to access the front door. The walkway is quite narrow but shouldn't pose any access issues.
We will definitely be returning again soon once we've recovered!
Third visit for us while here for work. The food is excellent, slightly off piste menu, which is great...we'll be back again next time we visit 😀
So impressed with this amazing restaurant. After being at a close relatives funeral all day, 10 of us walked in here at gone 10.30pm at night, and they were incredibly accommodating to us and welcomed us in with open arms. The food was absolutely delicious and it was a really nice end to our emotional day. Thank you thank you thank you!!
We are staying the night in Birmingham and came here due to the reviews and we’re so glad we did. The food was amazing it was so tasty and we loved that they had their own twist on some dishes which made it so much mor enjoyable. We are huge foodies and love a curry most and this was perfect! Portion sizes were massive compared to what we get in London and I felt guilty leaving food because of how nice all the staff were! Would definitely reccomend and will be coming back again if we can!
One of the best Indian restaurants in town
Wonderful restaurant. Excellent menu and reasonably priced. Good quality food. Friendly and welcoming staff.
First visit with a group of 15. Superb hosts and the food was superb.
I had Onion Bhaji as a starter. 4 huge bhaji's. Then a Basmati Tawa Delicacy with a garlic nan. Superb
All the group said it was a fantastic meal.
We will all be back.
I have been regularly visiting the Basmati for over 15+ years now and I have never had a bad meal from them! The atmosphere in the restaurant is great and the staff are so lovely and welcoming. The value for money on the food is very good, every dish I have had has tasted amazing and has always arrived hot and freshly cooked. Their onion bhaji are some of the best I've had and I love the big jugs of mint sauce they give you if you're a lover of the stuff like me! My family and I will continue to be loyal customers here.
Exquisite food, excellent proffesional service with prompt delivery. Every item ordered arrives fresh, the naan bread is cooked to perfection which is a tricky thing to get right, the meat in all dishes I've ordered is tender and of high quality produce. My partner orders a vegetarian main dish most the time and she is always impressed. After trying many differnet places all over Birmingham the 'Basmati ' is quite simply the best Indian restaurant in Birmingham and consistently delivers on its food and service. Keep up the good work guys. 👏
I recently visited Basmati restaurant and was impressed by the lovely atmosphere and thoughtful table arrangement. The ambiance added a charming touch to the dining experience.
While the atmosphere and presentation were commendable, I found the food to be just okay. It didn't quite meet the expectations I had. Additionally, the quality of the wines was a bit disappointing.
The restaurant has great potential, and with some improvements in the food quality and wine selection, it could offer an even better dining experience. The attentive staff and cozy environment are definite pluses.
Overall, I had a decent time at this restaurant, but there's room for enhancement in certain aspects.
Well wot can I say first time there food is amazing service friendly very clean very cosy place to enjoy a evening out Thanknu 🙏five stars

I have just found my best Indian restaurant, unfortunately I live in Devon, but will be returning to this restaurant as often as I can, the meal I have just enjoyed is by far the best that I have ever had, do yourself a favor and try it if you are passing or like me working in the area.
My family and I attended a birthday celebration.
Super all round service, food and atmosphere.
