BASANTI

As of 2024 no lunch specials any longer. You pay dinner prices for lunch. Not worth the price to be honest. Food tasted reheated and mushy. Will not come back.

Excellent food as always.

Always a great meal

Delicious food and good service. Montu and Lucas were

Excellent spot. Local favorite for sure. If you need an Indian food fix this is the jam

Amazing food ! Must try

Did I just land in Mumbai? Basanti is as real as it gets. My local hangout and could eat here everyday - sometimes hitting this place up 3-4x per week (I’m not the only one - the number of Uber Eats guys who show up at dinner time is insane and at times, I’m the odd one out in a restaurant full of Mubaians). This place holds it own in a smaller community with no shortage of restaurants and located on the other side of the railroad tracks, literally, where many tourists venture/land given the train station and location of Mission SanJuan. Everything cooked to order (love that I can hang with the locals - authentic staff - and handle the same, if not more spice then they especially for a white chick from the Midwest) including no spice for little people, like my twin grandkids who devour the buttered naan and tandoori chick. The owner, first generation (I think) and the nicest most humble guy (he recognized me at another San Juan hangout then bought my glass of wine) just wants you to have the most pleasurable dining experience enjoying cuisine he’s passionate about. My favs: buttered naan, roasted beet salad, lentil soup, and chicken korma, extra spice. The world’s a big place so get out there…or at least venture to the other side of the train tracks or even stay home (#ubereats) and reap the same benefits of good food and good company!

Just drove by

Ok we just had lunch for the first time here and it was delicious . We ordered the mix chicken tandoori , an eggplant roasted and , of course, the garlic Naan. Everything was so tasty and perfectly cooked. Also, service was on point. The waiter was polite and attentive
