Lovely restaurant. Indian food was much better than anything I have found home in London. The owner was so kind and attentive and the food was incredible. Could not recommend more ! Particularly impressed with the bhaji, butter chicken and daal, but you can’t go wrong with any of the dishes.

I visited this restaurant on the 31st January for an early dinner and enjoyed an excellent meal. I started with the Aloo Chat which I thoroughly enjoyed and followed on with a selection I can not remember but consisted of chicken and lamb in an sauce that was claimed to be inspired from arabic influences into India. Irrespective of its origins, I can say that it was an excellent dish, well cooked, nicely presented and which I would be pleased to enjoy again.The staff were very friendly, helpful and clearly knew their menu well. If in the area, well worth the visit.Parking: Car park is about 150m away. It is free after 6:30pm and not expensive before then. The area is quiet and there is negligible risk to your car.Kid-friendliness: Whilst I visited by myself, there were families with children present and it was clear that the staff had no problem in accommodating the needs of these children.Wheelchair accessibility: The restaurant is not accessible as it is in a basement only accessed by a staircase. I am unaware of any lift. Further the floor is uneven within the restaurant.

Absolutely first class restaurant in a great setting of a former wine cellar. Ajay looked after us so well with his outstanding customer service. As always, totally impressed and look forward to our next visit as its always a pleasure.

Well what can I say?…..I’m SO incredibly glad the Basmati in Petworth has re-opened after a temporary closure before Christmas. We’ve just had the most wonderful meal, cooked to perfection (with fresh Ingredients) by the most talented chefs and served by the guys there that are extremely welcoming, polite and friendly. This is in an extraordinary setting underground in Petworth square, very well worth a visit and you definitely won’t be dissappointed !! I know you will enjoy it as much as us!

Great food and super friendly customer service. I'm a regular takeaway costumer and they have never let me down. Also very good value for what you spend. ?

Took our booking for Christmas eve for 5 ppl. Turned up and it was CLOSED. No communication whatsoever, just let down when we turned up.The staff in the CO-OP said it’s been happening all week. Appalling customer service especially on Christmas Eve.

Made a booking a week before and was email confirmation. The day before was asked to confirm booking. Turned up and it was shut!!!! No communication from Basmati, nothing!! Just a handwritten note on sign to say the restaurant was closed. Very poor! They need to not take future bookings knowing restaurant is closed.

We had booked a meal for a special occasion here .We turned up to find a small note on the front door stating it was closed. We had not been notified or contacted by them to tell us! This left us late in the evening trying to find somewhere else to eat for a party of people on Saturday night. They could've called or emailed to let us know but nothing
I had the lamb tikka masala. Extremely impressed with the food. Would whole heartedly recommend this place.

We eat at Basmati regularly and it’s always fantastic. Takeaway always quick and on time, great atmosphere inside too. Saag Paneer is the best I have ever eaten.

Aj and his team are absolute legends. Food is always amazing. And they are always happy to let me order late which is a real bonus. Cannot recommend them enough.

Petworth should be famous for this Indian restaurant/takeaway!!! Not antiques. I’ve tried many Indian restaurants up and down the country and ALWAYS return to the Basmati. It truly is the most delicious Indian cuisine (Garlic Chilli Chicken, amazing!!) Not only is the food 5* , the service is too. Always friendly, polite and welcoming staff. Love the ambiance and how the restaurant is underground. Such a exquisite location.
