I we have been to lots restaurants in St. Louis Pretty much all the owners know me. My friend came from New York and six of our friends came to this place. We got our own liquor as this place I heard was allowing. The manager he was a white Caucasian came after 30 mins said sir you cannot drink and we obliged. We ordered food and asked for more nans but he said kitchen was closed, did not tell us it was the last order. After a while he just got up and started using f word and told us to get out, just because he overheard one our group members jokingly said we should not pay We were surprised how he acted He was being so racist. We got up paid and left Never again will I go there. Food had so much color, worst customer service. read more

Food is great. The owners are nice. The only thing Id suggest they work on is service related to take out orders. Best indian food in st louis hands down. read more

Flavorful indochinese! The chili paneer and chili chicken were absolutely delicious. Hakka noodles were my favorite! Food could have had a little bit more spice to it but overall very good! read more

Great spot! I've had the yellow curry with vegetables three times now and it's my favorite thing to get, as well as the vegetable samosas. I usually order take out and they usually have my food ready before I arrive. read more

One of the slowest service in St Louis. Their food seemed overpriced and lack a flavor and no naan bread,

This is my new favorite place on South Grand. every dish we have tried has been good, especially the Hakka noodles and samosas. Service has been great every time. it's just a solid experience. read more

Food was good but the 3 stars is for order accuracy. I ordered yellow curry (great!) and chicken pad Thai. I got the curry but what was suppose to be pad Thai looked nothing like any pad Thai I have seen and it was tofu. Pictures below of what their page shows and what I received. read more

Basil India - Indian Near Me - Saint Louis, Missouri

See all

This place is amazing. Great flavors. All of their food has a lot of depth. My favorite is the massaman. The butter chicken is also delicious. I've never had anything bad from this place and the service is great. read more

Great to have this Indo-Chinese fusion food in St. Louis for the first time since 1908. I ordered takeout here once and loved the food. The corn and ginger rice is a nice touch to the menu - the panneer and chicken were all great. Hoping they can maintain the same food as they get big and famous which I'm sure they are going to! read more

This place was so good! I think my favorite meal since we moved to STL. Everything we got was great. The corn cakes are surprisingly delicious. We order them out of curiosity and it totally paid off. I loved my butter paneer and my husband loved his stir-fry chicken. It was very reasonably priced too. read more

I ordered via UberEats and could not have been more pleased. The naan was flaky and delicious. The chili paneer was the perfect level of spicy. I also got samosas which were piping hot and super yummy. I tried gulab jamun for the first time and it was incredible. Highly recommend if you're looking for fresh, hot, comforting food :) read more

Only one visit here, but the food is excellent. Try the Tika Masala. And the corn cakes!

Honestly, a bit disappointing. Flavor of butter chicken was good but in my whole order only about 5 pieces of chicken and loads of sauce. And certainly not spicy. Samosas we're fine but again lacking some of the intense flavors I am used to. Naan was the most disappointing-it was heavy and greasy. Almost more like roti than naan. read more

food was delicious and fast. Our waitress was very friendly and accurate. also love the water feature in the center, great atmosphere.

Amazing food, and large portions! I love the stir fried noodles, and my fiancé loves the pad Thai. The same server is always working and he's super friendly and gives great recommendations. A great new place for South Grand! Tons of vegan options! read more

An alright place to go. We ordered the corn cakes,Chicken Marsala, and pad Thai. The corn cakes and Pad Thai were okay, but the chicken curry was pretty decent. Prices were a bit high, but still an okay okay to go. read more

Amazing food and service, the butter chicken and paneer did not disappoint. The flavors were authentic and the service was quick. Hands down one of my fav Indian restaurants in town. read more

We got the tikka masala and the butter chicken with some of the Indian bread. The curry's were flavorful. The service was nice but for the price the chicken that came with the curry was very little. Also I got the Thai tea and it was curdling in the cup and tasted sour. Other than that the ambiance was cute and service was good just dont get the Thai tea. read more

Indo Thai cuisine missing the mark on taste and flavor profile. I tried naan which tasted like reheat frozen paratha and curries lacking freshness in taste. 3 rating for great customer service and I enjoyed the rice options read more

Food was most excellent, service was on point, highly recommend! Relaxed atmosphere too.

So pleased to enjoy a delicious dinner of butter chicken, garlic naan, and gulab jamun. I'm very much looking forward to visiting again.

Food was amazingly delicious. Specially the Tangra Fried Rice along with Chilli Paneer. Can't wait to try the Indian items on the menu.

The stir fried chicken with Szechuan sauce was fantastic as well as the corn cake appetizer. Quick and friendly service.

Decent value. Good food but small portion for the price. I had Said Woo Chicken and Plain Naan. Lots of spice and good tangy flavors, like a General Tso chicken. Outstanding flaky naan texture. read more

The food is great! The masala chicken is the best I've ever had. Green curry tofu was good too, but could be more flavorful. The amount of food is decent while being a little pricy. Mango smoothie is very good! read more

Authentic Indian food, peaceful family-friendly vibe, generous portions and great prices! And to top it all off, staff is welcoming and knowledgeable. Love it!!! read more

My girlfriend and I love to try out new restaurants all the time, and after stumbling upon Basil, we've been hooked. We dine her more often than we'd like to admit, but the food is just too damn good. We are so in love with the food that we've brought our friends here to show off our Indian food spot! read more

Truly the best Indian food STL has to offer. Don't let their unassuming shopfront in tower grove fool you, Basil India has been around forever and has been only astounding every time I've gotten takeout. The lunch special deal is something great to check out as well. Tower grove has a few gems but Basil India is its diamond. Thank you for all the great food and memories! read more

I was having car trouble and this restaurant was across the street while I waited for help. I was flustered, cold and trying to get my girls settled when a waiter came up and asked if I knew what i wanted because the kitchen was closing soon. It was my first time there so I let him know I would need time but if they're closing I could go. He was kind and let me know it is no problem. I had chicken tikka masala with naan and it was BOMB. Full of flavor. We were full, stayed warm and the waiter made us feel very welcome. I definitely will be back. read more

Ordered takeout. Butter chicken was delicious. Green curry was spicy but not overly so. Tikka masala was just ok. Had a tomato soup like flavor. Naan was really greasy not my favorite. Would order again the butter chicken and green curry but would skip the tikka masala and naan. read more

I will say the food is good but when you order to go, they cheap out and only give you a little rice for multiple people! Dining in is fine, but they need to work on to go orders because there is not enough rice for two people. For the price, you'd think they wouldn't hold back on that. Anyways, when you eat in, it's fine. read more

The appetizers and entrees were tasty and we enjoyed the food. However, It was served in a rather strange manner in that there was at least a 10 minute gap between when the first dinner was served until the last one arrived (We were a group of 5.) It would have been less awkward if everyone at the table had been served at the same time, or at least close to the same time. The other thing that was odd was that the bill included a $24 service charge. When I asked the waiter what that was for, he said it was a charge for pushing two tables together. (What!!) $24 for pushing two plain tables together seems beyond excessive to me. Although the food was good, the wonky service and strange service charge are reasons we probably won't return. read more

omg, this was the best find in a long time. I had family in from out of town and they craved Indian cuisine . I tried our usual in the west end (closed now) and nice place in the loop But they could not take our reservation. Siri came up with Basil India. Awesome food, good price and on the amazing South Grand Ave. They just opened 3 weeks ago. If you like authentic Indian food then you need to give this place a try. read more

Amazing food with lots of flavor. Definitely deserve 5/5 stars! Kind of small place inside so not the best for groups and parties. we ordered Chicken Tikka Masala, Hakka noodles , yellow curry, and butter chicken and not one complaint! If you're looking for good simple Thai food, i'd try this place out! $9.99 lunch specials as well. read more

So good! Ordered three dishes and they were all great. Vegetarian friendly. I will definitely be back.

This whole in the wall gave me some of the best food I've had in a while and they give you large portions so now I have an excellent dinner to tonight. read more

Had a great meal tonight. Very fresh and light. The naan is different from the traditional and absolutely delicious. We had a very solicitous waiter. Highly recommend it. read more

Pleasantly surprised! Plain decor but don't let that fool you. Taste and quality of food SO DELICIOUS. We will be back!

There a many choices of places to eat along South Grand but we decided to try this, as we both like Indian food. Not very crowded on a Saturday evening but it was Memorial weekend. Very polite staff, quick to seat us, bring water (I love that he asked if we wanted ice or not, as I prefer none). We had time to review the menu and the server was helpful with answers. I got Hakkan noodles with vegetables and asked for medium heat. It was perfect - spicy but not numbing my tastebuds, and was not oily like stir-fry can sometimes be. My husband got Butter Chicken, his favorite and it was also very good. He wanted to lick the bowl! The place was clean and neat, and if it had been crowded the tables were spread enough that conversation would still be comfortable. We were just a bit disappointed in the naan as it was thinner than we are accustomed to and more oily. Still tasty though. We will return another time and hope it is just as good. read more

We had their yellow curry and it was amazing. Highly recommend this little place. Great food, friendly staff and very clean!
