We've been coming to Basmati (and it's previous incarnations for decades) It's hands down the best Indian food in the area. They offer a the usual range of cuisine plus some excellent specials. The staff are always welcoming and friendly. Basmati offers dine-in, takeaway and delivery.

Difficult to stand out in this area with so many good Indian restaurants, however, Basmati never fails to achieve this. The team our on point and go the extra mile, the chefs are knowledgeable and the years of experience show in every dish. They will always cater for us as a large group or if just me on my own.

I have just visited for the first time with my partner and I must say, it’s lovely here. I’m not usually a fan of Indian food, however their Tandoori chicken is stunning. As someone who is conscious of her kcal counting, it must be one of the healthiest options on the menu! Atmosphere is second to none and the same can be said for the service. They really are such lovely people!

Lovely spot in locks heath - the food did take a while to arrive however there was 7 of us and could accommodate a table of 7 easily with a reservation. The sag paneer was sub optimal - not paneer cheese however the sag aloo was okay. The bossman gave us a curl in!

I recently visited this restaurant & my visit was disappointing. Firstly, the food was far from what I expected. The food was not properly cooked. The portion size was also much smaller than anticipated, especially considering the high price. Given the high prices, I expected a much better overall experience. Unfortunately, I left feeling like I didn’t get my money’s worth. I would not recommend this Restaurant to others.

The service at this place was beyond terrible. I dined in, thinking it would be quicker, but ended up waiting for nearly an hour. When I asked about my order, I was given false assurances that it would be ready soon. When the food finally arrived, it was an absolute disaster—cold, tasteless, and far from anything resembling authentic Indian cuisine. My kid’s pretend kitchen produces better meals than this. Save yourself the disappointment—don’t bother eating here if you care about your taste buds.

My son went with his scout group for a meal & came home with a goody bag, not a typical service for an Indian Restaurant, but they went above and beyond. He said he was “blown away” by the delicious food & ambience, also saying staff member Titoh gave an interesting speech on Indian food and its roots & was a fantastic host. Titoh & the staff members made it a memorable experience for my son. We will definitely recommend this Restaurant to our family & friends.

Delicious, allergy and coeliac friendly food. I ordered over the telephone to be certain to convey my dietary requirements. My server was extremely understanding and attentive of my allergies, ensuring he spoke directly with the chef to ensure they could meet my needs. After writing down the allergens he read them back twice. After placing my order he spoke with chef once again to ensure it was safe. The chef cooked a chicken Korma from scratch and a tarka dahl. Both absolutely delicious. Their poppadoms are gluten free and was assured they are fried in a separate fryer from everything else. I knew it would be a while but well worth the wait. As promised, my food was labelled especially with my name so as I did not get mixed up with other dishes. A rare and delightful treat for me to have a takeaway meal. Excellent service, although higher price than average it's worth it for the extra care and quality.

Ordered food on Deliveroo. The Korma (Kurma as the app puts it) was what appeared to be watered down cat-sick. The Bhuna was oily and watery at the same time and was thrown away immediately. The onion bhaji was not even warm. The mint sauce was essentially tasteless water. When I rung the restaurant to inform them of the disgraceful quality of the food, they apologised and said they would contact Deliveroo to authorise / permit a full refund. I have just spoken to Deliveroo and they have no record of this - thus meaning that the restaurant are liars as well. Absolutely disgraceful restaurant who should hang their heads in shame and the disgraceful nature with which they treat customers.

Ordered a birthday meal for my family, two hours later it had not arrived.

I will give 0 stars if I could. I have been meaning to write this for a while but thought will give then another chance before I make this decision to write. Ordered a takeaway again couple of days ago. Worst food that's out there. Chicken dish with some fancy name was some thick substance with some chicken pieces without any spice or salt. Ordered Tandoori Naan and Roti, to be honest they were not edible and went straight into the bin. They have not been inside a tandoori oven and I doubt this place even has one! Half cooked and soggy. Same story with the veg dish, boiled vegetables in flavoured water. I could have done a better job boiling veggies. I honestly don't know how this place survives. I am sorry to say, whoever is the chef there don't have a clue what's he or she is cooking. Chucking all ingredients and mixing is not cooking. You do need to make an effort and cook good food for people to return. Mind you this is not the cheapest of places and I have had edible and better food at less expensive restaurants. I am out, never again and won't recommend either. Visit at your own risk.

Onion bahji's like two little tiny dried up things like little old doorsteps. Absoloutetly vile and I usually eat anything. My meal literally tasted like water with onions and wet watery ricr.

When I called to complain I was offered a refund for our meal but had to wait for the payment line 12 HOURS LATER !! Despite payment taken 3-5 mins earlier. Let’s hope they call me back or I will be giving them a wide berth !! Any more recommendations for Indian curry in locks heath area that know what they are doing please. Any suggestions appreciated.
