Perks: Flawless service, tight on space

Basanti is everyone's favorite for one reason - the incredible service. The staff here is professional, warm, and efficient.

However, parking might pose a problem during peak hours, and the fear of overcrowding can somewhat tarnish the dining experience.

  • Great For Diets

    Attentive staff provides excellent vegan and vegetarian dining options.

  • Bad Outdoor

    Fear of becoming crazy crowded, impacting the dining quality negatively.
