Basant was great. The service was very welcoming. Right from the hostess seating us to the waiters being attentive to small details, we had an impeccable service. The food was outstanding. Not the most authentic but has a great spin to traditional Indian food. The gulab jamoon cheesecake stole the show. I'm looking forward to being back and trying other items on the menu.

We came here for lunch on a weekend. Having made a reservation online already, we were seated immediately. We tried the chili chicken and jackfruit cutlets for appetizers. The chicken was great, I thought the jackfruit cutlet probably needed a little more spices to flavor it up but was good nevertheless. We tried a cocktail - Paan Chicagowala which had hints of paan or betel leaf and it was fantastic! For our mains, we had malai kofta and laccha parantha. Both were delicious. The laccha parantha was just perfection! Could not try any desserts but we will be back again for that. The service was impeccable. Overall, loved our experience and I recommend dining here for any of your special occasions.

The best butter chicken in Chicago! Every dish I've tried here over the past few years has been delicious, with just the right amount of masala and heat. My favorite staples include baigan bharta, murgh makhani (butter chicken), malai kofta, lamb gustaba, and the samosas. Their cocktails, especially the Hari Pari, are also delicious. They occasionally update their menu, keeping things interesting.

Amazing upper scale Indian. Went for date night. Got the truffle naan and samosas, both were so good. Everything we got for dinner was so good. Service was great. I’ll be going back for sure!

Comfortable upscale atmosphere, attentive and professional service, and food prepared just right. Started with the Giniac, a gin and amaro combination that was just the right amount of bitter and sweet . The lamb chops of the appetizer were correctly cooked, just a bit pink. Kachumber salad tasted fresh and the Naan bread was toasty. Chicken Basant and Chicken Makhani both with fluffy rice, were the mains and both are great choices. Really enjoyed the smokiness of the Makhani. Too full for dessert but will definitely consider it for next time. Can't wait to go back.
