Bashori Indian Restaurant

BEST BUTTER CHICKEN EVER!!! I can’t say much about the other dishes as I haven’t strayed from the butter chicken after I tasted it the first time! Amazing customer service and SUPER friendly staff. Go the small businesses!

Food is outstanding and the staff are very lovely. I am now a regular customer after trying it about a year ago. So glad I found this little gem definitely a favorite of mine and stands above the rest.

Simply delicious food! Lovely staff who run a fine business. Extremely rewarding loyalty card, but above all generous, well priced and tasteful food.

Let me start off by saying that Jen L’s taste in Indian must be somewhat lacking in authenticity. Ceylon Inn at Sherwood uses the microwave and reheats previous meals, this was confirmed by the staff when I queried the taste of my tastleless food! Be my guest if you’d like to pay an exuberant amount of money on that rubbish.
Now to Bashori, this restaurant is without a doubt the best Indian restaurant I have ever been to, and I have sampled numerous restaurants. The service is impeccable, the owners pride themselves in their food and service and it shows each and every time you dine or take-​away. I cannot speak highly enough of this place.
It’s a quaint restaurant that has BYO if you dine in or if you’d like you can take-​away. They open for dinner 7 days a week from 5pm. They have a nice cosy Indian feel to the interior of the restaurant or you can sit outside. All mains are under $ 20 and papadums are complimentary.
You will not be disappointed ! :-)

I have had some outstanding Indian curry experiences, unfortunately, here is not one of them. I have only been here once, but it is enough to convince myself not to rush to return. I had decided to give this restaurant a try on account that it was local and hoping it could replace my 15 minute drive to Ceylon Inn down at Sherwood. Despite it being local, I was also drawn to the fact that it is much cheaper than Ceylon Inn.
I wasn’t impressed by the restaurant fit out. It was very basic and had no charm whatsoever. There is a TV inside playing Bollywood, which I am assuming is there to distract you from the dull surrounding and long wait times. The fact that is was very uninteresting inside, made waiting for our order so much longer. What took about 40 minutes to come out, which is extremely long anyway, had ended up feeling like an eternity. We ordered Rogan Josh, Tandoori Chicken and Bashori Lamb. As it took a while to be cooked, I expected a well cooked authentic Indian meal. What I got was bearable, at best. The ingredients used seemed cheap and low quality and the flavour bordered on mushy goo hidden in spice. Ick.
I’d like to give this restaurant another try, because I’m hoping they’ve improved. I don’t care too much for restaurant ambience, so long as the food is good it is all I’ll remember of the experience. Unfortunately in this case, my first experience with them was not great, I noticed poor ambience and an average service. Here’s hoping next time is at least 3 out 5.
