About

Nestled in Petworth, Basmati is a haven for Indian cuisine enthusiasts. Offering a diverse and flavorful menu, this restaurant has something to delight the most discerning of palettes for those who love Indian food.

Begin your meal with a selection of mouthwatering starters. The classic papadom is served with tantalising mango and onion chutneys, mint sauce, and hot pickle, setting the stage for an array of vibrant flavours. You can also enjoy the king prawn butterfly, where herbs and spices meet a breadcrumb coating, or indulge in the skewered and tandoor grilled seekh kebab. For a classic favourite, the spiced onion bhaji, deep-fried to crispy perfection, is a delightful choice. The jhinga puri offers a slightly sweet and spicy twist, featuring prawns served on a deep-fried pastry base.

The tandoori section of the menu boasts succulent chicken and lamb tikka, shashlik, and a mixed grill. Each dish is marinated in a harmonious blend of herbs and spices, then expertly grilled in the traditional clay tandoori oven. These dishes are presented with fried onions, salad, and mint sauce for a complete sensory experience.

For a taste of Basmati's signature creations, explore the distinctive flavours and authenticity of their signature dishes. The wild lemon curry showcases the aromatic wild lemons native to Bangladesh, known as 'Satkora.' Or indulge in the apricot dish, a medium curry infused with the sweet and vibrant combination of apricot and sultanas. Among the chef's specials, the jatt lamb is a standout, boasting warm flavours of garam masala and cumin, perfectly balanced with a touch of cream.

At Basmati, they craft every dish with care, ensuring that each bite is a delightful celebration of Indian cuisine. Whether you're an Indian food fan or just looking for a memorable dining experience, Basmati promises a journey of exceptional flavours and culinary artistry.

As good as ever

We had not visited for many years, but the service and welcome remain very warm. The choice of dishes is wide, and well explained. 

The overall cost of the meal for three people, incuding drinks, was very good value for money.
