Dreadful bland food, plates thrown on the table. Never experienced such rude staff. Wish I’d have read the reviews before wasting our time and money. Go elsewhere

Best Indian in Wigan hands down. The only go to place for full of flavour and very good portions. Highly recommend this place. Won't be disappointed

Our first visit, but I am afraid we won’t be returning. The service was terrible with what felt like plates being thrown on the table, no pleasantries from the staff, and gentle grumpiness. The food was bland, mediocre at best, across all of the dishes. Let’s just hope we hit a one off bad night.

WOW, after several very nice meals, good food, great service, very warm reception, we finally landed in the wrong servers section. Now we know what the "rude waiter" reviews are all about at Basmati in Wigan. Watch out for this guy, I think he might be the owner (or family of). We will go again, but we will insist on the good waiter...or walk out....again!

This is my go to Indian takeaway and I absolutely love it never fails to impress would recommend this to anyone!. However I ordered a chicken korma, chips and rice on Tuseday 10/10/24 and within an hour I started throwing up violently. I’ve not been able to eat anything properly since. Classic case of food poisoning as I didn’t eat anything prior to having this. I am very upset and disappointed with this as it was my favourite takeaway and unfortunately will no longer be coming back.

Banging chips but after a recent food poisoning experience from my other half I will not be going back here again. It's not hard to make sure food is cooked correctly especially chicken. I suspect a reheating job of a big batch of curry that wasn't reheated to a high enough temperature to kill any bacteria.Very disappointed

Despite its claim of serving Indian cuisine, my recent experience at Basmati restaurant left much to be desired. The food lacked the authentic Indian taste I was hoping for, and I left without finishing my meal. For fellow Indian food lovers, I’d recommend exploring other options to avoid disappointment and wasting money on a subpar dining experience.

We’ve been coming to Basmati for years now but we’ve not been for a while (until yesterday) and I have to say it was the BEST curry I’ve ever had and all of our party agreed . From the starters to the mains all of it was amazing and so so tasty. All the meat in the curry’s was fresh and soft - 3 of us ordered specials and they were all delicious thank you basmati we will see you soon!!

Food cold. Chicken rubbery. Staff rude ! Informed you several times of this problem. Instead of rectifying the problem , you was rude and told us go somewhere else. Well we did. And more than happy with the new takeaway we’re using now. We didn’t want any discounts - just use a heat bag or something You was extremely rude about it Don’t worry about not serving us for pointing out the food was cold and told by you to just put it in the microwave , as we won’t be back there again anyway. Edit. Was asked to take the review down for a free takeaway. - no. The review stays and don’t want your food

Really good food however let down by service dramatically. Constantly being watched by several members of staff whilst we were eating, felt like we needed to rush, given our bill before we had even asked for it and was told we had to leave the table as they needed it "now!!"

Popped in with the wife and only wanted a couple of starters. Were told they don't serve just starters. Very strange, considering it was very quiet and they basically turned down £25. Can understand if it was busy and we were taking up a table they could be giving to a more profitable customer. Won't be returning.

As an Indian, it's very difficult to like the dishes served here as Indian delicacies. It is totally different from what we have known as Indian food and it's not just about the level of spiciness. The staff is really helpful though and their service is good.

Usually can't fault this place. Attended with 3 friends early evening. Whilst trying to order the food, waiter put his hand up in my face and rudely grunted that he wasn't ready. ignored that, we all have bad days. Waiter who brought the food out just threw it down onto the table, we had to pass dishes around to where they needed to be. Food tasted great, however the chicken was so finely sliced and was nearly non existent. I understand the pressure to make money these days but this was criminal. Nevertheless still gave a decent tip, as decent people. No thanks, just more horrendous looks and out we go, never to return

A little disappointed always enjoyed eating here and having take outs I ate here just before Christmas ordered lamb but got served chicken, ordered a take away again ordered lamb not sure what it was but deffo not lamb took a picture and asked when I returned to eat in with a friend to be told they didn't know what it was I ordered lamb and I got lamb the meal was lovely but my friend and myself had a starter , eyes to big for our bellies plus ordering nan breads we had plenty left over so we asked for a doggy bag, thought we could have it for dinner at work the following day, my friend is a vegetarian and I am not, we got home to find that they had put our meals together, very disappointed think since being closed due to covid that Basmati has dropped it's standards when you would think they would be trying harder for custom and ratings...while we was eating our meal a table for 4 sent their order back , not really what you want, think I'll start to go else where in the future, very sad 😊 but true

What a fantastic Indian restaurant this is….. the staff are so attentive, welcoming and efficient. The two front of doors staff we had at our service tonight was Firoz who is one of the owners and Abdul who has worked with/for Firoz for years were amazing….. The food was absolutely brilliant the chef who came out to see us excelled with his culinary skills, his garlic and coriander Bread was delicious along with the rest of the food we had. The restaurant is a comfortable place to be in… very relaxed atmosphere, I cannot recommend this restaurant to its full extent you really have to try it for yourselves. You WILL NOT be disappointed. A BIG thank you to ALL the staff at Basmati Rice Wigan for a fantastic meal and excellent service keep up the good work…WE WILL DEFINITELY BE BACK…….

We have just been to The basmati Indian restaurant and it was brilliant, the food was spot on, the staff were brilliant, informative and very courteous. My Husband who doesn’t like very spicey meals wasn’t sure what Dish he wanted to try, so he asked our waiter and he give him dish that he thought would be ok for him which was Butter Chicken Masala and My husband said it was perfect, they didn’t encroach whilst we were eating the meal and didn’t rush us out the restaurant. I can’t praise this restaurant enough, it’s spotless and very well run so thank you Basmati for a lovely evening. If you looking for a place to eat and relax I would highly recommend The Basmati Restaurant.

Vegetarian, Eastern Nepalese garlic chilli was awesome. There must have been at least a bulb of garlic and fresh green chillies. Very friendly and some sarcastic (in a nice way) staff. Tarkha Dhall was nearly as good as it was back in East (Nepal and India). Consistency of thick soup with plenty of salt and garlic. Can't fault it, yet found it to be slightly pricier than the norm. The tables were not cleared straight after the departure of the clients. Wouldn't go to Basmati for a romantic night out or a 1st date but would definitely go back to satisfy my taste buds. Would recommend.
