Yummy Indian food in Basel!…read more Went here with some friends and had a lovely experience. The food: You can really tell the food is made with love and care. Everything was packed full of flavor and so rich (in the best way). We ordered what our waitress recommended and it was delicious. The appetizers for us fell a bit short and lacked some flavors but were still good. I will say the only complaint is how long the whole dinning experience was. I understand the food takes times but I would have appreciated a heads up of the time between each dishes just to understand what to expect. The place itself is gorgeous as you have a lovely view of the Rhine. If you can try to snag a table with a view :)

Really enjoyed this place , great atmosphere. Location is overlooking the Rhine and tables are big…read moreand spacious. You feel welcome and menu is vast The food was so fresh and flavors amazing. The tiki Marsala was amazing with garlic nan. The service was exactly what you need and made you feel welcome and appreciated I would highly recommend new Bombay for a quiet dinner or large group. We witnessed several large parties comfortably enjoying food and wine , the owner even provided a vase when the guests brought in fresh flowers for her table. This made my day.

Great Ambiance & Good food fully satisfied with the staff service i will give 5 star.read more

I arrived this evening to a semi-busy environment. When I was seated, it took almost 7 minutes for…read moreanyone to give me a menu and another 8 minutes to take my order of samosas, saag paneer, basmati rice and garlic naan. After waiting for another 20 minutes, my waiter brought two small samosas. They were flavored well, but didn't have much filling. A huge party left and things cleared up, but it was another 15 minutes before an empty plate and rack arrived on my table. I thought the food would come soon, but lo and behold, another 15 minutes passed while I watched the empty plate. Food continued to come for the outside patrons, but since I came solo, it definitely felt like they forgot I was here. The menu prices are pretty high (6.50 CFR for two small samosas and 22.50 CFR for saag paneer WITHOUT the rice?!). It has now been an hour and my dinner has yet to arrive. What a disappoint especially since I was looking forward to the dinner. UPDATE: The food arrived and it was spiced well and the garlic naan was pretty good. The server at the end of the night (maybe the manager) was pleasant and attentive. His kindness improved the rating from 2 stars to 3 stars. Unfortunately, the prices, small samosas and long wait put a damper on my experience.

It's ok to be a little busy on a Friday night but it's not ok to take orders from another tables…read morefirst if the other party has been arriving 15 minutes later than our self. It got better when you waitress got the support from other staff who were in charge for the other part of the restaurant. Don't understand why, what seems to the the manager, didn't jump in but only looked at the computer and the departed where ever. The food was good but the garlic naan kinda messed up the taste for all the other food for me. Price above average for the experience.

CAUTION!!!! Do not go here unless you want to over pay for food not fit to eat…read more Every dish had way too much salt in it. We asked for chutney which normally comes standard in Indian restaurants and when we got our bill they charged us 5.00. Franks, also 9.50 franks for a bottle of still water. If the food was decent it would be ok, but to have awful food that is not edible and get ripped off in the process is unacceptable! We complained to the waiter and he just shrugged and said "im just a worker" we all felt disgusted and sick after all that salt - do yourself a favor and skip this place! Worst Indian food I've ever had in my life!!

The atmosphere was very nice with flowers at each table. The food was delicious and made with care…read more I recommend trying their mango lassi! We went on New Year's Eve before afternoon closing and the customer service was great - very kind staff.

I just returned from Indian Royal Palace and felt compelled to write a quick review…read more Swiss-German food simply isn't vegetarian friendly, so I set out find Indian comfort food. The restaurant was a 25 minute walk from my hotel, but it was worth it. The wait staff are friendly, helpful, and attentive. I ordered Baingan Bharta (eggplant/aubergine) and garlic naan. I was in heaven. It was the best Baingan Bharta I've had in years. I finished it off with a mango kulfi. While I can't comment on it's authenticity because I haven't had it before, the kulfi was definitely tasty. The atmosphere is pleasant, but not impressive. This is fine with me, but it's probably not a place to bring someone on a romantic date. My only disappointment is that I won't have any other opportunities to eat there again before leaving town.
