Great Tandoori chicken. The rice comes with little spices which makes the all around taste even more holesome. The prices are very fair, especially during Lunch. about 21 CHF for such an awesome Meal! Great view when sittin in the back of the restaurant: View to the Kaserne over the Rhein.

Along with three other colleagues, went for dinner here. Nice ambience, good Indian style food having just the right taste & spice levels, good service too. I liked the food here better than Indian Tandoori Palace.

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
