Basmati Restaurant in Sandwell

I keep coming back to the Basmati. After more than 20 visits here in the past 2 years I can honestly say it’s my favourite Indian restaurant. Staff are very efficient, decor and atmosphere are really nice and the food is always fantastic. It’s not pretentious, food is honest, tasty and perfectly cooked and you will never go home hungry. Well priced and worth a visit.

Friendly staff, good service and tasty food.

The Basmati has been serving great food at reasonable prices for many years. The owners and staff are always friendly & welcoming, I look forward to every meal and I am never disappointed.

Staff always go above and beyond. Very family friendly. Amazing food, super staff recommendations too

Lovely food and friendly service.

Dined here early on a Saturday night, food was to a good standard and the service was really good. Prices were reasonable for the standard of food. Parking limited outside the restaurant but other options close by.

Told me 33 pound then changed it to 36 pound the when deliver driver came told me he didn't have change so took 5 pound of me that's not right always have bad belly of food next day

Very welcoming, excellent choice, good quality & quantity 👌 Will be back, Well done all 👏

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!!

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.

Second time I’ve ordered from this place, delivery men are friendly and pleasant and food is great hopefully the high standards remain consistent 😃

Why are Indian people ringing me from this number pretending to be from o2 to offer me 40% off my bills? As soon as I said I'm busy he ket talking so I said I'm not with o2 and he hung up on me

Best curry we’ve had for ages! The Lamb Tikka - Eureka!

Best takeaway for ages! We will order again very soon.

always fantastic food never disappoint

Went for the traditional Chicken Tikka Masala tonight which was very good. Restaurant was very busy and I appreciate that the staff were run off their feet but got the impression that me being there was a bit of a nuisance for them!

Great food. Plenty of it. Great service.

Great food as always piping hot

these guys always hit the mark with the food and the flavour is amazing 👏 🤩

Chicken tikka was tough all the dishes ordered were quite bland and not a lot of flavour don’t think we will be ordering again from here which is a shame as we have previously had nicer food

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

Attended for a private party. Food was good and service was excellent. Nice venue.

My family and I attended a birthday celebration. Super all round service, food and atmosphere. Thank you

Lovely food. First time ordering from Basmati. Won’t be the last time

Wonderful restaurant. Excellent menu and reasonably priced. Good quality food. Friendly and welcoming staff.

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!

Amazing food very friendly staff great prices

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!

Amazing - great food, drink and service

Good friendly service but food less than mediocre. Just basic ingredients floating in lakes of sauces. Mixed veg curry was brown cement. No idea what I was eating. Yuk.

amazing food. not greasy like other places...really really really enjoyed

Very good food,andservice,friendly place.enjoyed my meal

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. 👏

worse curry I have had from here. unusual for them - very disappointed

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.

food was nice as usual, only disappointment was I'd ordered a keema Nan and ended up receiving a plain one instead but I still ate it all the same.

Always good service and friendly people.

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.

If you like good portions, the place to be, very tasty and friendly staff.

This is a fantastic place I won't order from another place staff are perfect kind friendly, The food Is first class never fails to impress

Delicious take away, excellent, friendly service. Really generous portion size!

One of the best Indian restaurants in town

Best curry around and great service

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 😀

Good food, a little pricey but quality. The beer I ordered came when I was finishing my meal to be fair they were very busy.

Absolutely banging. Had Chicken Tikka Masala nicest one we’ve had in years. Lovely flavours not bland. Rice beautiful too and a top delivery bloke 👍 price is best about cant fault them at all.

The food was lovely, very tasty, with just the right spice for our taste, loved the nan bread. Food was late but we do live in a quiet spot and delivery drivers do sometimes struggle to find us plus it was Saturday evening.

Excellent meal Very tasty and hot

Lovely tasty hot food, delivered quickly by a friendly driver, we ate in last week too! Definitely our new favourite takeaway!

Curry and nan bread would have probably been nice if it wasn’t cold. Popadoms tasted stale. Chips were cold and seemed like they were left there for some time.

Not the first time I have had food from this restaurant and certainly not the last, top level.

Always good food, used many times

Lovely food great staff would definitely recommend

Basmati is always amazing, it's my favourite takeaway!

Wow, we haven't used these guys for nearly 18yrs and have to say they haven't changed at all in their quality and taste. Thank you for a lovely meal guys

Amazing no different to seating in the restaurant ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Absolutely delicious, arrived hot and fresh. Driver really friendly and pleasant! Definitely will use this restaurant again.

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.

Excellent food & service as always

Nice friendly staff. Small but delicious buffet.

Always a great meal here, and my go to place when staying at a hotel walking distance along the road. Service, food, always excellent!

Delivery on time food lovely & hot Very nice meal

The best Restaurant I have eaten out in - Service is superb, Food is heavenly, portions are large, atmosphere is excellent - This place is truly a hidden Gem - I urge anyone in the area to stop by and try it out - you'll be amazed

Had a tawa curry supposed to be indian style was not very disappointed load of sauce no different from there other curry sauces

Ordered 1 dish and a couple of naan breads, took over an hour and a half to arrive. Food was Luke warm when it finally did arrive. Disappointing considering restaurant is 5 mins drive away

Fantastic food, go here almost every week.

Basmati restaurant ❤️food was delicious, staff very professional and friendly, definitely plan to visit again 😎😍

Absolutely lovely and fresh definitely order again

What a find! A definite 5 out of 5. Superb food and excellent staff. Will definitely be back the next time I'm down in Birmingham.

Lovely food as usual and delivery

Second time I visited this place, service was great however the Currys don't have the original taste, they catered for western world, less spices.

Food was delicious defo ordering again as it’s the best in the area

Ordered 2 naan bread with my curry only received 1 and that was cold still waiting for refund

Late again! Thought I’d give them another go but nothings changed

Lovely staff, very friendly and have great customer service. We didn't have to sit waiting for long. Food lacked taste

Absolutely amazing service from the minute we walked in. Nothing was too much trouble. The waiters had a sense of humour and were friendly. Absolutely everything you could want. The food was delightful and extremely plentiful. Spicy enough without being overpowering. It was busy for a Tuesday night which shows how popular this place is. I’d booked a table for 8 and even though it was busy we felt very well cared for and attention to detail was second to none. My new regular and I honestly can’t wait to go back. Amazing. Thank you.

Loved it. Great service. Food lovely. Family have used this place for takeaway delivery so decided to try it out for a catch up with a friend who also thoroughly enjoyed. Thank you Basmati. X

Gorgeous food again, the best Indian restaurant around.

Visited this place for the first time, has great parking facilities and from the outside looks like a really nice restaurant, however inside is a bit dated, the decor really did remind me of the 80's. It definitely needs refurbishment. The curry's and Biryani's was really nice really flavourful however the starters and mix grill had no flavour which was disappointing. Overall I would visit again but just avoid the starters.

fantastic food and great staff

Good food (not quite as good as last time) very busy reasonable price. They also have a bar

Delivered super quick over to Aldridge - where we have 6 curry restaurants...nuff said

This place never fails been using them well over 15 years! Wouldn't go anywhere else!

Food was delivered early, it was piping hot despite us being a fair distance away from the restaurant and the quality and taste was spot on as usual.

Fantastic meal. We went on a Sunday and had a choice between menu and buffet. The portions were very generous and tasted amazing. We're fortunate to live very close to the restaurant and we will be back soon.

Consistently great food and great service - many thanks for fulfilling my request for extra coriander !

Best curry I’ve had in a long time and spot on service - thank you!

Love this place, superb food and friendly delivery staff....just brilliant 👏

I visited sat 21st jan the food was amazing piping hot staff were great parking was difficult which is understable due to being a sat.only thing i didn't like was at the end of my meal as the waiter cleared our table, I asked for a desert menu he turned around and said have patience! Which am sure could be have rephrased in a more polite way,apart from that the restruant was great gave a tip as well.

Beautiful food, delivered on time and hot.

There was a lot of sauce but little meat in the meet dishes.

Beautiful hot n tasty food 10/10

Delivery on time, food great and plenty of it.

Was New years Eve and they were very busy, I was picking up a take out so didn't experience the restaurant. Staff seemed to be very attentive to the tables and there were lots of regulars being greeted by name as they arrived. Food was really good and I will definitely be back both to eat in the restaurant and next time I have a take out.

Superb service and food yet again. Quite easily the best curry locally. Look forward to my next one.

Food was delicious and hot. Portion size was good. Arrived on time. Have tried a few Indian takeaways in the area and this is one is the best. Will use again.

Lovely food as usual and although a little late was worth the wait

We had to go and pick up our order. We tried to phone and no one answered this is appalling. We ordered early to avoid any delay but after 2 and a half hours nothing had arrived We tried numerous times calling and nothing will not be ordering again.

As always quality food and a quality service

Great food but rice was missing from order
