Basmati's Indian eatery
I took my three kids to Basmati's Indian restaurant and we had an amazing time. We all had the butter chicken and chicken tikka and it was delicious! The butter chicken was so flavorful and the chicken tikka was cooked to perfection and the charcoal aroma from it was stunning. The portions were generous and the prices were very reasonable. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. Overall, it was a great experience and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a delicious Indian meal in Christchurch.

Best Indian restaurant in Christchurch. Love the service, and the food is amazing. This has become our go to place for Indian food. I’ve ordered small quantities and large quantities for groups (family of 10) at different times and the level taste and service has always been exceptional.

Too notch food and great service. The taste is consistent and full of flavours. The restaurant manager is very professional and really friendly. One of the top 3 Indian restaurants in Christchurch!!

I’ve eaten in the restaurant, had takeaways and today had delivery. The food is always delicious, and the service from the staff is always exceptional. Because we were ordering delivery for the first time, we were unsure if we’d ordered correctly, so I phoned the restaurant to check. The person was so helpful, and even said they would call me back once we’d placed our order if there was something wrong. Because we’d decided to order differently to our original plan, straight away the restaurant called me back to confirm our order was correct. But as we’d ordered from the 2 for 1 menu, but not the same mains, the restaurant still honoured that 2 for 1 deal and sent out double meals. Thank you for your great hospitality and for the special touch of writing happy birthday on our delivery bag! I really appreciated it ☺️

On arrival to Basmati's we were immediately greeted and offered to sit at a table of our choosing. The waiter was very attentive and answered our questions and served our drinks very promptly. We ordered 3 items; Anari lamb (medium), Chicken Jalfrezi (mild) and 2x Garlic naan breads. The time for the food to come was around 30 minutes but we did notice that another table of 2 who ordered after us was served their food first and that is the only reason for the 4-star rating for service.The Anari was a new dish for us to dry and although it was nice and the lamb was cooked perfectly, it lacked a depth of flavour and was did not have the expected spice level. It also appeared that the pomegranate which I understood to be a vital component of the dish was sprinkled on top rather than cooked with.The Chicken Jalfrezi was the favourite of the night and the flavour was delicious and spicy. As per the menu this dish says it includes onions, tomatoes and capsicum. Our dish had a few pieces of capsicum but was filled out mostly with beans which we found to be an odd choice. The coriander mentioned in the menu of both these dishes was minimal which was disappointing.Tha garlic naan although tasty appeared to be a wrap rather than handmade bread.In terms of atmosphere it was clean and well decorated with lovely plants although the front door was open most of the time we were there despite us closing it. This restaurant exits on to a main road so it made it a bit noisy and cold.Please check the pricing as the online prices were quite different to the restaurant menus.All in all, if you are looking for an authentic Indian meal this may not be your ideal venue.
