Basmati in Cheshire East

The best Indian in Nantwich, lovely atmosphere, staff and food. Won’t go to another Indian locally now as we enjoy this one so much! Thank you 🙏

Simply fantastic! The restaurant is in an awesome building with the staff all being friendly, attentive and fantastic too! Frankly the food is amongst the best I've ever had. The coriander naan and chicken tikka starter is worthy of extra mention. Thanks and will definitely be visiting again soon.

Always wanted to try when going past on the train! Last night we did and we were certainly not disappointed! The food was delicious, portion sizes great (even took some home) , the service was brilliant (the owner very polite and attentive), nothing was too much trouble! We will definitely be back!! Wonderful traditional family run Indian! Thank you

We had a fabulous meal here yesterday evening. A small family run business giving good service and serving really tasty food at reasonable prices.

Wow, lived up here for 20 years and have just found this most amazing Indian restaurant and it’s on my doorstep………how on earth have I not found this amazing jewel in a crown? Food……..perfect, service……..impeccable, restaurant quality……on point. FANTASTIC 😎

Such a great experience. Amazing food, the butter chicken and garlic naan are beautiful. The restaurant has such a wonderful interior and the staff are extremely helpful and kind. Would totally recommend and will be back very soon!

What an unexpectedly wonderful experience. The service was fabulous, very warm and genuine. The food was superb, great portion size too, I was so stuffed! I can’t recommend this place highly enough.

Had a lovely meal here - the owner really cares about the food and it shows Everything was super tasty and I’d strongly recommend it to anyone who likes Indian food

Great food - tasty and made to your ideal taste Mohammed looked after us so well and made sure our food was exactly what we wanted Strongly recommend it

4 of went there last night. The food was fresh and tasty and the owner was second to non. He spend some time with us having a laugh.We will be back soon as

Looks a bit forelorn from the outside, but don't be put off by that. It's nice inside, clean and presentable. We received a lovely warm welcome and were shown to our table. Ordered drinks that arrived quickly and studied the menu. There's plenty to choose from, we ordered the tandoori sharer starter and an order of onion bhaji because they're my favourite. There was a good selection of chef specials, which we both ordered from. Tamarind chicken and Special Deshi Khana with lamb, along with chilli rice, onion rice and a huge chilli and coriander naan bread! Everything came out piping hot including the plates and was absolutely delicious. Soft tender lamb cooked in a beautiful flavoursome sauce, juicy chicken in a delightful Tamarind sauce. Looked after very nicely by a very personable host. Thank you Basmati for a lovely meal. If we lived here I'm sure we would be regulars!

Fantastic food, is now my favourite Indian restaurant. Would recommend *****

Visited this restaurant on 25/07/2024, on entering the restaurant were shown to our seats by a lovely lady, the restaurant owner came to take our order, he to was so friendly, the service was great, and the food was delicious, we will definitely be going back.

Excellent food as always, chicken so tender. Food full of flavor. The owner comes and chats and has a joke with you. A lovely restaurant for a meal.

Mohammed was a great server and the food was the best curry I have had in a long time. Having ordered the chicken tikka balti I highly recommend with a garlic rice.

Delicious food 🥘 fantastic place for a curry! 🍛

Excellent meal in pleasant surroundings. The staff were very helpful and efficient. Would recommend to anyone.

We have had several Take away meals from basmati but wanted to try out the restaurant and we were not disappointed . We went early Saturday evening and received a warm welcome from the two guys serving. There is an extensive menu, our dishes were all cooked really well and presented nicely. The portions are generous and we left feeling very satisfied ! Nice wine and good range of beers The resultant is very cosy and we felt very relaxed and enjoyed our evening very much we will be back again very soon

Really great overall however, not a great initial impresson as the exterior of the building and the surrounding external area don't offer a great impression to be honest. Looked a bit run down and unkempt BUT, the welcome/greeting, staff/food and prices could not be faulted and we will definitely return! The nan bread was absolutely wonderful ❤️

We are back in the UK so had to visit our favourite restaurant (and people). We weren't disappointed - the food is as amazing as ever. I had the veg pathia, my husband had chicken and my friend who had the veg balti hasn't stopped talking about it. A fabulous meal hosted by the most friendly people ever. Ahmed, we miss you 😔

A friend organised a fund raising night at Basmati and it was just amazing. The place was full and the food was just superb. Lovely hosts and an all round great evening.

Excellent food and all for a good cause. Some amazing flavours and taste. All for a good cause Aid to Ukraine”. Will definitely come again. Thank you

We wanted to support our local Indian restaurant Basmati so I held an event to support a fundraiser. We cannot thank the staff enough for all their hard work. The food was amazing and we had so much fun. We laughed and we saw the reasons of supporting a very good cause to get food aid to the right people in Ukraine. Thank you, thank you, thank you Basmati! We will be back !

Fantastic restaurant and takeaway, the service is great and the staff treat you like family. The food is absolutely delicious and fresh, you can tell its been made with love and skill. We often get free surprises in our bag too! Definitely our regular.

Excellent food, delicious and so tasty. Very friendly owner and staff. They always take the time for a chat. All good was freshly cooked and very tasty with layers of flavour in the food.

After looking on reviews we ended up here, and i must disagree on all the 5 star rating food was bland, place was run down, felt rushed tried to clean away our plates b4 we had even finished, curry arrived and we both left most of ours wasnt asked was it ok only needed to look what we left to see it wasnt, wont be going back one on the list to avoid at all cost

Close approximaty to Nantwich Railway Station. Excellent food, great menu and very attentive service. I highly recommend.

A really good curry. Had the onion barjees, Murghi mossala special, the vegetable pathia, the veg curry with peas rice and naans. Not too expensive and money off for collecting. Best curry we’ve had in ages. We’re from Birmingham so obviously we know what a good curry should be like 😁. This really is one of the best. Top notch. Highly recommended.

Booked in October after our shop in aldi which is next door, we saw a banner hanging outside the premises for christmas day and boxing day, we booked for the boxing day offer which was advertised for £16.95 per person. When we went on boxing day at the time we booked we were given a menu, we were a bit confused so asked for the boxing day offer, we were offered the buffet, when the bill arrived it equated to just under £25 per person, we questioned it, they denied all knowledge of the boxing day offer saying the £16.95 started next week, we always get our take aways from here but wont be gracing them with our custom again

Serious curry lover here & I must say this is one of the best curry houses in the area the curry’s are delicious cooked with proper authentic ingredients, customer service is also fantastic and prices are good. I definitely recommend for either a sit in or takeout.

It was fine, not warm enough could do better with the service,part of our order was forgot.

The food was lovely and we received a master class in customer service. It was very impressive.

Nothing too much trouble. Good food. Good service. Very professional. Would definitely recommend. Thoroughly enjoyed our visit.

Was invited here by the owner for a celebration buffet night. Service was great, poppadoms were brought to the table quickly and then it's help yourself to the buffet. Great choice, very tasty all hot and fresh, it was a great night

Amazing food and great atmosphere, we will definitely be back not only to the resteraunt but for takeaways too.

Ate here today, group of 20. Food, drink & service was spot on. Reasonable priced, could do with more trade to give it an atmosphere and the funds to update the place a little. Worth checking out if you’ve not been.

What a wonderful evening we have had at Basmati Nantwich. Me and my father went for a sit down meal and the food and service was exceptional. We will definitely be coming back here for not only another sit down meal but takeaways also. Thanks again to the Basmati Nantwich team. See you soon. George + Roger Dutton. 🤩😋🍛⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

5 stars, some of the best food in Nantwich, if you are looking for a place to eat, try this place, you won’t regret it

Amazing food, great atmosphere, quick service. The chicken Tikka is one of the nicest Indian dishes I have ever had as are the somosas.

Most amazing food every time,cooked to perfection and always served by lovely welcoming staff, amazing portion sizes and beautiful chutneys, couldn’t ask for more, always a returning customer

Hospitality exceptional, Chose it for my Wife's birthday treat. Meals very good, I had the Butter Chicken. was spot on, Delicious. and the wife was happy with her Tikka Masala. Nan's were just wright not over crispy. no negativity at all.

Ordered a delivery and process was good and delivered on time. Pappadoms were a bit like they were cooked in stale oil. Chutneys ok. Mixed starter was nice and fresh except the lamb part which was chewy. Plain chicken curry had that bitter / darker type sauce but chicken itself was reheated and dried out / chewy. Plain rice ok. Maybe eating in would have been better

The most amazing experience here tonight! Incredible food, amazing service, treated more like family than customers! 10/10 recommend!

Decided to have some takeaway food from here last night. Wish i had opened a can of beans and done some toast. Jalfrezi was just heat no flavour. The lamb was tough and the onions and peppers in the sauce were barely cooked. I would have expected better from a restaurant.

Absolutely fantastic meal from Basmati. Ordered online for collection and was able to pick up in 15 minutes. The food was piping hot (pots were extremely hot) and we all thought it was delicious. Will definitely be ordering again.

We tried Basmati tonight, really nice food, great portions, Ice cold beer and excellent value for money. The staff were great and Ahmed he was the best, gave us 100% attention all night, Even opened the door for us on the way out. Also had good parking. will be back again for sure.

Very disappointed as we were told this was a great place. We booked in a party of 16 and they had people off, the beer was warm and food was very slow to come out

Went to Basmati Nantwich a meal with friends for the first time in years. The service was fantastic and the food amazing. We had a great night and would recommend any curry lover to try it out.

Couldn't fault our experience food was very tasty great service 😋 👌 be back again very soon 😀

Rubbish food & very poor service not even deserve 1 star

Wonderful dining experience of extremely delicious Indian dishes at the old train station. Owner and staff were incredibly welcoming and helpful as well.

Excellent food. We've only had takeaway. Chatty staff. We'll be back.

Had a great meal from Basmati, called and then collected. Plenty of great food, generous portions, well packed and hot. Our first time but certainly won’t be our last. Highly recommended.

Warm welcome great choice of fine Indian cuisine and value for money

We love the food from here, it is always so fresh and the staff are lovely too. The restaurant is the old station house so you get to see the trains pulling up alongside too.

Food was wonderful and we will definitely be returning. Staff are great too.

Food… AMAZING. Service… AMAZING. Staff… AMAZING. After eights… INCREDIBLE. So glad we went (first time). Staff made it 100% better - will definitely be returning. Xoxo India and Megan.

The customer service was top notch. I tried the Curry Chili Chiken with boiled rice and it was awesome. I highly recommend.

Had a pleasant enough meal here the Thursday before Christmas. Quite surprised how quiet it was but that meant we got excellent service. My Chicken Deshi Khana was tasty but a bit sweet for my taste.

The 3 of had a great time in there last week. Looking forward to going again in the very near future

Absolutely brilliant Christmas Day spent here, food was excellent along with top class service. The two gentlemen running the place were very friendly and nothing was to much trouble for them. Will definitely go back already booked in for my birthday.

Up there with the best and we live on a Narrowboat, so travel around the country. No ingestion, not salty and not greasy. Definitely going back while in the area. Outside looks terrible, inside it is lovely and loos were clean. Locals should support this business in these troubled times. If I had a local business, I would certainly this book place for a staff treat.

Myself and 4 friends from schooldays had a meal here to put the brakes on a heavy drinking session. It worked in more ways than one. The two very pleasant gentlemen running the restaurant informed us when we enquired about a table that they were very short staffed and there was going to be a moderate wait. We had 5 cobras to start and waited for our menus. They came and we quickly ordered our food and more beers. There was a fair wait and the beers never arrived until after the food. That said the food was absolutely superb and we all enjoyed our excellent meals thoroughly.. We could tell the two gentlemen working were doing there best to keep up with demand but they were having a hard time of it. I'd recommend the food but don't be in a hurry.

Food is brilliant. Very basic decor, more like a cafeteria than a restaurant.

Beautiful food great service defo will be going back

Had the most amazing food at Basmati last night. Although a little short staffed like most, the service was exceptional, and the food was full of flavour and so authentic. We will definitely be back.

Went the with a friend while visiting from Australia. Stunning food and very friendly staff, highly recommended

Didn't know what the food was going to be like but can honestly say fantastic taste on everything we had staff brilliant 👏 value for money would definitely recommend will be back.

A quirky location, pleasant enough staff, but even when relatively quiet, soon after opening at 5 30, there was a long wait for food, about an hour for the main course, all the while the kitchen pumped out regular large takeaway orders. The lowlight was the lamb. In both starter and main course I'm looking for well cooked , succulent tender pieces of lamb, but in both courses all I found were very thin little strips , so overcooked , chewy & tasteless .no chance at all for the spices to flavour the meat. My partners chicken was OK. But for me the long wait was not worth the result.

When I need a Ruby Murray of excellent quality this is my go to. Family run giving a warm and friendly service. The food is to die for across the board whether eat in or take away. If you haven’t tried this Nantwich Asian Beauty I suggest you give it a chance.

Great Indian takeaway. Use from time to time. Excellent

Delicious food. Lovely staff. Nice ambience.

Staff were awesome. We were a party of 6 and the service was personal, efficient and friendly! Talked us through menu options, gave recommendations and the food choices were great! Well done guys!

My goto curry dining room. Always good quality, excellent tastes, and generous portions delivered with friendly professional service. I use their takeaway service too.

Lovely, friendly staff, and wonderful food. We love the Basmati

Ordered a Chicken Rogan Josh to have it delivered. Opened it and to my horror looked liked there was two different curries mixed didn't look or Even taste like Rogan Josh. It was the first time I had Ever ordered after reading good reviews. Never Again will I order from Basmati Nantwich.

Great food friendly staff who offer great service,prices are very reasonable will definitely be back next time we visit Nantwich.

Absolutely fabulous food, good house wine, reasonable prices for the quality of food, great service from friendly and helpful staff, the first visit of many.

Just had our first takeaway.. delicious. Food piping hot and fresh.. Will sure be visiting again. Highly recommend.

Very friendly staff, who ensured we were happy throughout. Would highly recommend

Amazing food and service, would recommend especially for anyone with allergies like myself.

Our meal was so delicious, very filling ! Staff were so friendly and attentive. Highly recommend

Superb food, great service, would recommend

Fabulous food, really well run. Food was ready when said. Really chuffed!

Fabulous meal Thursday 27th January sadly only couple in. Very reasonably priced. Chicken tikka pathia with mushroom rice

Excellent food and excellent service! Food was fresh. Got a good recommendation from the staff! Very tasty. Will definitely come again! 🙂

Very nice place food was fantastic 9 of us went for a meal last Friday staff very friendly will definitely go again, Andy.

Always go there when in nantwich.

Ordered from here a few times and usually very good, ordered the other night, taste wasnt its usual quality and was left with a dry foul tasting mouth afterwards. I wont be using again.

Very tasty, flavoursome meal, served in a friendly and welcoming restaurant. The owner, Ahmed, is keen to ensure his guests feel welcome and enjoy their meals fully.

Excellent food but expensive,tho worth it..

Visited the Basmati an Friday night with friends and was not disappointed. We regularly call in for a meal here knowing that the quality of food is excellent. The staff are really friendly and helpful and polite, and up for a little friendly banter. The food as always was delicious and the service was exceptional. The red wine we chose, complimented the meal perfectly. And we all thought the final price for the evening was very reasonable. Thank you and see you all soon, Steve, Shell, Woz and Lou

Lovely food, very reasonably priced, friendly staff

Arrived , seated waited quite a while for drinks menus and popadoms. Abs was a pleasant waiter. Unfortunately the rest of the staff seemed to have an attitude. Popadoms came, chief needs to learn how o chop onions properly, to many large chunks. The wife had Aloo Gosht according to the menu a favourite at wedding, with that comment we had to agree. 2019 we went to 17 Asian weddings and one engagement. This was nothing like what we had at any of these celebrations. The attitude of the staff was eat your dinner pay us and go ! I think they all need some customer service training. If this restaurant was in Birmingham it would last a week ! Will not be in a hurry for a curry to go back again !

Very good service clean and friendly. Felt very safe not many in

Really really good Indian food Excellent service and lovely staff. Best Indian had in a long time! Highly recommend

People here have really bas tastes. Mushroom rice insipid, chicken tikka korma sweeter and creamier than expected, lamb Naga special which had tasteless lamb and 30 seconds spicy taste, onion bhajis is better making them at home.. delivery has gotten worse in 2020/2021 and the bad taste of the English doesn't help the reviews. Total disappointment.

My partner ordered 3 takeaway main meals rice naan etc whilst passing through Nantwitch. When she arrived home in Whitchurch it was missing my daughters main meal. Bland food, popadoms taste of old Smokey oil, weird tasting condiments god knows how they get the yogurt thing looking like Kermit the frogs spit. Never go backDisappointed to say the least.

After anticipating a busy take away service as we use this restaurant a great deal we preordered our food at 5.30 and it is now 9pm and looking unlikely to arrive. This would perhaps not be so bad if the children were also not waiting as will be joining us. I’m sure they can afford to lose customers in the current climate but perhaps not who knows a very disappointed customer who will be ordering from spices or the other one on Stapeley estate! For the future.

We love this place! Delicious food and such lovely, caring staff. The restaurant is clean and homely and they have a great takeaway service, too. We wouldn't go anywhere else! Tom & Alex.
