Basmati - Locks Heath

We booked a table at Basmati and because of the snow they closed but didn’t think to tell us, so we still turned up there

Restaurant was nice, one of the staff was lovely and made us feel welcome the other one should have stayed home that night, he was surly and clearly didn’t want to be there, we had been recommended to come here, sadly for us the food wasn’t good, very bland, we probably wouldn’t go back

An Indian restaurant for good food, not overspiced like some with good, friendly service at a reasonable price. We have been several times recently all with the same positive result

All little busy what with a birthday celebration but that didn’t effect the quality of the food or the times between courses. Overall, a good evening

First visit, will definately be going again, great food, good service, nice ambiance., conveniently located with no parking restrictions, only thing that could be an improvement perhaps would be table cloths, but all good.

This is our second time visiting this restaurant, the service was great, food was amazing, really enjoyed it, we will definitely be visiting again. We left a tip as we were very happy with our service and food was delicious.

Great service. Lovely meal and friendly staff. Not very busy but probably due to the inability to take card payments. Cash only. Seen this before on door so not sure if card machine ever working or installed?

First visit and will certainly be back, great food with a friendly welcoming service

Food was lovely, staff were great. Even though it was busy the food came out quickly and very tasty. Will be coming back again soon.

Lovely food , fresh, spicy, not oily and Just the right portion size. Good choices on the menu and well priced wine. Friendly, fast service.

Excellent choice, great service and very welcoming place. Thanks for another great evening on Xmas Eve. No wonder we've been coming here for twenty years now!

I've been going here for a few year's now, and I have to say, it continues to be fantastic. So good, that a friend and I would like to visit once a month. We enjoyed it that much. Thank you for your lovely food and great service.

Good food and good service, we will diffinently be returning and they do take away. ... . . . . . . . . . . . .

Service was great as usual. Thought I’d try something new, the wild lemon lamb. It was a bit disappointing, no heat and a bit greasy. Maybe it just wasn’t for me as everything else was good. My wife’s chicken chat was delicious.

We had a lovely birthday meal yesterday, they went to the effort to put balloons out and confetti and the highchair was there waiting for us and the children were given lollies at the end, would highly recommend!

Excellent food and service at reasonable prices. Restaurant ambience could be improved with more intimate lighting and would prefer to see table clothes to enhance the overall dining experience.

Good food and service, nice vibe about the restaurant , first time I’ve dined here since change of ownership, good work keep up the high standards 👍🏻

A lovely restaurant with friendly, helpful staff. I wanted to try something different and went with the waiters recommendation which I thoroughly enjoyed. Lovely local restaurant, walking distance from home - will definitely go again!

Lovely meal and good surroundings. Friendly staff and a good choice on the menu ....what more can I say. Happy to recommend and will be returning soon.

It was very easy to book online. We had great service, and the food was delicious. We would definitely return to the restaurant and have take always for Basmati and definitely recommend to others.

Overpriced for the quality of food. They got my wife's main course order wrong which was a real shame. The lamb sheek for starter was very dry. The mint ice cream desert was a bowl of cold syrup.

Lovely food, staff and atmosphere will definitely be returning. Good selection of starters mains and side at a reasonable price. Was modern and clean too.

Lovely meal, go here regularly, cannot fault the food and drink at all. Highly recommend. Butter chicken is yummy! And house wine is very good too.

Great food and service but the restaurant can be very noisy so if you want quiet romantic meal this may not be the one. We had to move tables half way through our meal as the guy on the next table was set on telling the whole of Fareham is business and we just could not have a conversation but staff were very good and found us a table as far away as possible.

Clean spacious comfortable restaurant. The food was delicious and good value. The service was good and waiters were friendly. We will definitely be going back.

Good food as always and good service. Booking on line was easy. Walking distance to restaurant a bonus. Would definitely go again for a meal.

We enjoyed the evening very much .excellent food good attentive service. We had a nice table in this gem of a restaurant. Will be back soon.

Good prompt service food very good and freshly cooked and most importantly hot. Surroundings clean and tidy also very spacious not sitting in each other's laps. Only criticism was that the portions were a bit on the small size for the price.

Customer service and quality of food is spot on every single time I go. There was not enough keema in my naan and it was replaced immediately. The decor of the restaurant is also very appealing. Customer for life.

Our first visit to Basmati was very enjoyable. The restaurant is nicely decorated, the waiting staff were very helpful and pleasant. The food was very good. We had a lovely meal and will definitely be back.

The food was poor quality and not representative as shown on the website. It was a disappointment. We have eaten in many Indian restaurants and I also cook the good regularly therefore we know what to expect from a good venue.

The food was good, so was the service, had to ask twice for a jug of water. But we will defiantly be going again soon.

Unfortnately I got my main course before my accompaniment as the waiter didnt listen when I said a 'well done, Peshwari Naan and the server then argued with me about it. He also failed to ring a taxi for us when we asked him to, will not return to this place nor reccommend

Excellent food and service as always. Lovely restaurant with fresh authentic ingredients. The decor is lovely and would recommend to anyone if you are looking for a great Indian restaurant.

Great food, great Indian restaurant --have eaten there on many occasions across the years and have never had a bad meal ..I would really recommend Basmati, Locks Heath

Not an authentic Indian restaurant. No depth to the curry, no quality to the construction. Nice environment, good service and prices OK. Wouldn't go back.

The food is good and the service pleasant and friendly. The restaurant is nicely proportioned and has a nice atmosphere. There is a large car park adjacent.

Another great meal, with fantastic service! We were a table of 6 and everyone enjoyed they food. The Prawn Puri starter is delicious. Thank you

The service and quality of food was exceptional. Having lived in the area for 20 years and walking past Basmati 2 or 3 times a week, how have we never discovered this little gem earlier? We'll definitely be returning, and given that every table was full, we'll be using Quandoo to make sure we get a seat.

Excellent value Sunday evening meal, friendly service and nice ambience. Would recommend highly! Athanu chicken from the main course menu was particularly good and they also do a fine lamb tikka starter.
