Basmati - Petworth

I used to come here all the time when I was younger visited today for the first time in ages, still the best Indian restaurant I've ever been too. It can't be beaten

Very varied and interesting menu choice, food served promptly and very good flavours. The staff were very welcoming and helpful. The setting is most unusual in what looks like old wine cellars in the centre of town and conveniently near the main car park.

Very warm and cosy restaurant down in the cellar. Very friendly atmosphere staff very pleasant.void always good. A nice place to take friends and family

Food is always great here and we also had some good friends with us for a birthday celebration so had a wonderful evening. Never had a bad curry here, particularly recommend the Goan Fish Curry which is gorgeous.

Wow this restaurant is fantastic the food is really nice there is an excellent menu which I’m sure would cater for everybody. The staff are brilliant.

Food excellent. Service excellent. Will certainly go back. Everything we asked for was delivered promptly. Lovely atmosphere in the restaurant. As I said before we will definitely be back.

We went on a Tuesday evening. Wasn’t very busy. The food was nice. The style is different yet unique. We enjoyed the experience. Just needed a bit more atmosphere. Definitely worth a visit

It’s so delicious and beautiful. We really enjoyed it very much. We will come back again. The waiters are great and friendly. A place is wonderful.

Unique setting in cellar location. Warm welcome on arrival. Service was very good and the food was very tasty and reasonably priced. All in all a good experience.

Very nice food, obviously freshly prepared and great friendly service. Price was good too. We had the mixed tandoori starter, onion bhaji followed by chicken tikka masala with pilau rice, naan bread and spinach.

By far the best Bangladeshi restaurant I have been with. Food is authentic and staff are friendly and attentive. Would highly recommend it. Shame they aren’t based in London!

Lovely food and attentive staff. They help you decide what dish to have if you're not sure and they look after you well. What more could you ask for ? :)

Good food and interesting location, combined with attentive service. The vegetable biriani, chicken dhansak and butter chicken, which our party ordered, were nicely cooked and flavoursome. Our only gripe was that there was a problem with the drinks fridge so no chilled bottles of beer were available.

Totally relaxed and friendly ombiounce and deliciously cooked fresh food. All staff go out of their way to help. Highly recommend and can’t wait to return.

Very good selection of interesting dishes. Good service and very pleasant experience in unusual location and ambience. Will recommend to friends and familly to try the restruant

fantastic food great service will be back again thankyou for a very enjoyable night everyone said they would be back again thankyou th ankyou thankgou thankyou

Always recommend this restaurant to friends and we try to visit regularly. Friendly service, yummy food and not over priced. Would love" sizzle platter" food but due to fire regs , the restaurant is underground in caves, this is not done. Enjoy

Amazing food as always, hubbys favourite place to eat out.

Good service, excellent location & great food. Visited twice now & always very good.

Very friendly and helpful staff, extensive menu choice, really good food, honest prices. Interesting location in a basement just next to Petworth market. Top choice !

Showed to table straight away, all very clean and tidy. Staff very attentive and polite and the food was amazing. My children ask to go here all the time.

Lovely restaurant with gorgeous food. Service was brilliant. Highly recommend this restaurant

We we’re welcomed straight away and the food and service was faultless. The best curry we have had for a long time. We will definitely be returning.

We had a lovely meal at Basmati, the food was delicious and the staff were friendly and attentive, I couldn’t recommend it enough! Thank you

Our first visit to the Basmati, chosen as a convenient stop-over location for exchanging Christmas presents with family who could not be with us on the day. Great food and excellent friendly service in an interesting setting. Would definitely recommend

Excellent food and charmingly served. We were on holiday in the area but, if we lived closer, we would go there all the time. Well pleased.

Very enjoyable evening. The food was fantastic, the staff were attentive and the settings was enchanting. We will be back on another occasion very soon.

Polite and attenative staff. Very good food served in an interesting location. Throughly enjoyed the experience and will go again. Will reccomend to all our fiends.

We were early, so the restaurant was very quiet. We were served quickly and efficiently. The food was delicious and well-presented.. It was a cold night, so perhaps the restaurant could have been a little warmer to welcome diners.

Good choice of food. Generous portion of Biryani. Taste and presentation very good. Discreet and attentive service. Reasonable price. Bargain after Gourmet Society discount. Quiet. Our usual first choice in Petworth.

A very nice evening with very good food - 5th time I have been. Bit of wow factor re: unique location. Good nearby parking means no stress. David

Lovely food with polite attentive staff who always make you feel welcome. They remember us too which is nice, We love it there :) Highly recommended !

Excellent service and great food, good prices, highly recommend. Nice place to enjoy an evening in the underground restaurant. Easy to book and they were very attentive.

Wonderful menu, great service & lovely cellar setting. No phone signal which we think is great, everyone is talking to each other. We will certainly be back :-)

The food and surroundings are very good, and the service generally quite good also. It was just that they were not ready when we arrived.

Lovely experience. Had to book using a keypad from phone so couldn't get the actual time we wanted to be there. But great when we got there :)! Greeted well, delicious food, attentive service. Definitely go there again.

First time visit, expected to be quiet on a mid week evening, but surprisingly busy which suggests consistent quality. Quirky, charming venue in a beautiful period building. Very courteous welcome, good service throughout the meal, food hot and tasty.

First visit here and what a find. Lovely waft of spice greets you as you open the front door, miserable wet and cold evening outside and immediately begin to feel better as you go down the stairs. much larger menu than I had expected, not always a good sign, but some really different sounding dishes. I played safe with a Jalfrezi, and the other half had a chicken with tamarind. both absolutely delicious and the Tarka Dall was just superb. Starters were probably unnecessary as portions are generous. Good service, pleasant ambience and atmosphere, tables not too tightly packed, just an excellent evening. definitely coming back.

Reliably good food and friendly service. More green vegetable dishes on the menu would be welcome. Unfortunately we were too full to have any dessert.

Lovely food and great service - had the chicken jalfrezi which had just the right amount of chilies. Being in the cellar is cool too.

There is no other Indian like this one. The food is as uncoloured and natural as possible. The flavours amazing. Instead of sticking to 2 types of food I am working my way through the menu. We just love this place and the staff are excellent. It is a bit of a hidden gem.

Delicious food and a very interesting location (historic cellar underground). We had a lovely meal -- be sure to try all of the recommended dishes on the menu!
