Chennai Express in Basingstoke and Deane

Always the best food! Priyanka was excellent in getting us a table with no booking and a full house. Great service, will be here again and again.

Have been recommended this place before and tonight was my first time. It was the best food I’ve had in a very long time!! Great service by Ash and the team. Will definately be back :)

Srinu, our waiter, was fantastic. Incredible food!

Great Indian food, some of the menu staples are there, but there is so much more on offer that separates this place from the others. Lunchtime specials are especially good value, too.

Beautiful food, Priyanka was lovely host

Amazing food and very friendly staff. Highly recommend the Samosa Chat & Mancunian dumplings for starter. Garlic naan is also excellent! My curry was abit spicy and they offered to make it again for me for mild which I thought was really, instead I just asked for yogurt to help with the heat but all the family loved there curries.

The dosas are to die for! Always great food and Ash gave us great service. Definitely worth a visit… or many visits… Very tender chicken

Authetic foos .Will recommend to mark the spicy levels appropriately .The dosa was too spicy.

Excellent traditional food! Great service also. Would highly recommend. Best in Basingstoke by a mile!!

Fantastic meal and great service from Priyanka

Priyanka was amazing! Loved all of it. Thank you! Definitely a bit spicy but enjoyed none the less

What an amazing dining experience at Chennai Express! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the service was outstanding. The staff were attentive, friendly, and made us feel right at home. The food was absolutely exceptional—every dish was packed with flavor, beautifully presented, and clearly made with fresh, high-quality ingredients. Loved their Vada, Dosai. The attention to detail in every bite made this a truly memorable meal. Whether you’re looking for a casual meal out or a special occasion, I can’t recommend Chennai Express. We’ll definitely be coming back soon!

Absolutely brilliant! Best Indian Restaurant in town. Food is delicious every time we eat there and the staff are attentive. We arrived just after a large group but Bianca took time to answer questions and make sure we were taken care of. Even our picky 5 yr old loved his meal!

We were served by Srinu and he was really helpful. So good suggestions on food and served as requested on spice levels. Satisfied my pregnancy cravings

Best curry in Basingstoke - really good service from srinu

Amazing food! Great service by Srinu!

Very much enjoyed! Srinu served us and had a lovely evening

Loads of fresh fasting flavours. Awesome service. Even though we were a large group, we will be returning soon!

Food is authentic and service is 10/10- big thanks to Srinu who was very patient and took his time to explain what each dishes were.

Absolutely amazing little place for pure and authentic south Indian food in Basingstoke. We had an amazing variety of Dosa and Utthapam and cleaned the pallets with nice and strong authentic filter coffee. Definitely going again if visiting Basingstoke.

Very happy look for Ash very friendly staff all round

Srinu has an excellent customer service. The food was great and authentic. We’ll definitely come back soon

Service was brilliant thank you to Bianca food was amazing can’t wait to come back and try something else from the menu

My first time eating here and the food is really delicious 😋 It’s a must for first timers and the server Ash is friendly 👌🏼😃

We booked a table for 7pm tonight 3rd Sept 2024. I was waiting outside for my friend and a female member of staff kept coming out to check what I was doing. I smiled but she didn't smile but just went back in. My friend arrived and we went in at 6.59pm. The same woman rushed over and said ' we don't open until 7'! I said" well it's one minute to, can we sit down, I've booked a table for 7" She was very unfriendly. Then a male member of staff said 'ok ... just sit down but your food will be a while because the kitchen isnt ready'. We just got up and left at that point and found somewhere welcoming to have a meal. Not sure I've ever felt so unwelcome in a restaurant before.

Lovely server: priyanka (I hope I got her name right). U must must try the coffee. I enjoyed the paratha roll with paneer filling and mango lassi.

Very high recommendation to Chennai express lovely food and very wram welcome service from Priyanka.

Great variety of menu options. Food quality & quantity is good.

Food was fantastic and Priyanka provided wonderful service!

Its a shame that this is the Basingstoke offering of this restaurant. The Fleet one is so lovely and this one is disappointing.
