Restaurant New Bombay

I came here for dinner after a few hours at the Christmas markets and was famished. My order of Goan Shrimp curry and Fish tikka took about 20 mins to be served. Both were flavorful and incredibly tasty and the Peshwari naan was lovely. I loved the mango lassi and masala chai too.

Got here on reading all the great reviews but it's been a disaster of experience eating dinner here. Ordered a Veg Pakora, two vegetarian items Paneer masala and Aloo Gobi, One roti and a serve of plain rice. First off - the spice level throws me off a little bit, it's not healthy spice but very uncooked. My starter came very quick, this explains that it was pre made and they heated it up. Rest of the dishes took time, roti was reasonably good. The worst part was that there was a dead fly in the rice and my spouse found it after eating 3 spoons full. That turned our appetite upside down, we called the waiter who reluctantly recognized the fly and agreed to replace - the rice not the fly 😄. By then our toungues were burning with the spice from curries, so we ordered a boondi raitha to cool it down. But the boondi was stale and probably real old, it was tasting very greasy, the old oil smell. Now, coming off an American - this place over charges for a below ordinary indian experience and food quality. All the reviews don't tell the truth. PS: the dish serving size are below the average size compared with many restaurants I ate globally.

One of the better Indians I have tried here in Basel. Starter selection was good, non greasy and very tasty especially the chicken Palik Paneer is very good along with the lamb madras. May need to ask for genuinely spicy, European spicy just doesn't cut it for me Naan not the style I am used too, a bit flat. May need to follow up on the

Surprised it was the best Indian food ever. Was not expecting this quality. Wow. Basil food is very expensive but this was lovely
