Food wasn't delivered. Ordered at 5:00 PM for delivery at 7:30 PM. At 8:00 PM, the phone said they couldn't help. Unprofessional.
The food was excellent, especially the starters, which were delicious and a little different from the usual. The staff was extremely friendly and attentive. We'll definitely be back soon. Thank you so much for the lovely evening!
I celebrated my birthday and I was satisfied with the food and service I am really happy.
Its really good, food is really tasty (tho can be spicy) and the place looks very nice. But one thing was strange for me - one empty dosa costed SFr. 9.-. For those who doesnt know, dosa is a crêpe. So imagine u get an empty crêpe for 9.- 😄
We received very friendly and attentive service and enjoyed delicious Indian food.
Food was okShe was behaving with Über-driver in unacceptable manner, the driver is working under difficult conditions and she was just shouting on him the poor guy. The behaviour with Über-driver could be much improved here.This message is mainely destinated to Katherina 😉
The food is great and there is a very pleasant atmosphere - I always enjoy coming back and am always very satisfied
Disappointing Experience at Restaurant "Indian Summer, Basel, SwitzerlandI must say this was our worst experience in Switzerland. I visited this restaurant with my family to celebrate my wife's birthday on 4th Oct 2025, and unfortunately, the experience was far from pleasant.What Happened:1. We asked if we could cut a birthday cake for my wife. The staff (a lady) declined our request.2. Later, another lady (whom we assumed was the owner) seemed okay with it. However, the previous staff member returned and rudely questioned why we asked again, stating she had already said no.3. Her tone and behavior were unnecessarily harsh and disrespectful.4. This was our first unpleasant experience in Switzerland, which made it even more disappointing.5. On a positive note, the ambience was good.Despite the nice setting, the rude behavior of the staff overshadowed the occasion and left us deeply disappointed.
Excellent Indian cuisine with the best cheese naan in town! The lunch menu is always good and plentiful. Highly recommended!
We waited 1.5 hours and then left without getting our food.The female server was the worst. After an hour, we pointed out that we'd been waiting so long, but there was no apology, and no answer as to why. When we asked again after another 15 minutes, we received a very snippy reply that the restaurant was full. All the other tables had already had their food by that time, except for us, and we were one of the first tables that evening.The server most likely forgot to send our food to the kitchen, but didn't have the courage to openly admit it.The food was actually really good. What a shame! I won't go there again.
One of the worst dining experiences I’ve had in Basel.I understand that Switzerland is expensive, but this restaurant takes advantage of customers in the name of “fine dining.” The portion sizes were shockingly small for the prices charged — for Chilly Chicken (CHF 19), they served just 4 tiny pieces, and for Chicken Kebab (CHF 19), only 2 small pieces. This is nothing short of daylight robbery.The food itself was average at best, certainly not worth the outrageous prices. Customers expect to pay a premium in Switzerland, but what they don’t expect is being blatantly ripped off with such miserly portions.There are plenty of good Indian restaurants across Europe that serve generous portions at fair prices. This place survives only by misleading unsuspecting visitors. Absolutely not recommended — save your money and your appetite!
Great experience, the dishes are as beautiful as they are delicious! The atmosphere is very cozy and everything was perfect from start to finish. Thank you
Very cozy, incredibly friendly staff, and sensationally good food. We'll be back :)!
Last Saturday I ate at Indian Summer, and once again, it was fantastic! The service was also perfect and very friendly. I don't understand the two negative reviews at all; they're probably just jealous! I highly recommend it.
Hello Indian Summer!Thank you for your wonderful hospitality & delicious food!The atmosphere was good & the service too.. I will have one suggestion, the dishes were taking time to come, so maybe a bit of an improvement possible there.. However, I understand that, you must be busy with a lot of customers today, since it was the rush of the peak time & the weekend.. So all good there!From the food perspective, the starters and drinks were amazing! Really good.. The main course, specially those Indian specific main course dishes were good, an improvement needed in the Lamm Biryani & probably the sweet (Halwa).. These were average. Everything else was simply delicious!An additional comment, considering the price to quantity ratio, we would say, you can increase the quantity a bit more. For example, in this Tandoori Chicken starter, there were just two pieces, tbh, other competitors serve more! So, just a friendly suggestion to increase the quantity a little bit more! Overall, quality & the taste, tip top! 😋👌
A really great location, the food is excellent and the staff are very friendly and attentive.
The best dahl soup I've ever eaten. Everything was delicious and the service was excellent.
The food was delicious and the portions were generous. The staff was very friendly and attentive.
The Kottu Roti was delicious, and the service was, as always, very friendly! We'll be coming back again and again!
I liked a nice and high-quality restaurant. The food and service were great.
The food was delicious. The service was very attentive. We'll be back. Thank you very much.
My friend and I ordered chicken tika skewers as starters, chicken vindaloo and chicken tika masala + garlic naan. It was so good we ordered an additional portion of butter chicken. The food knocked us down (in a good way).
Great food with a wide selection and friendly service! I always enjoy coming here.
Amazing place! Delicious food and fabulous service and staff. Reccomend!
It's actually my favorite place to eat in the city, but the last two times it took over an hour for the food to be served. It's a shame, because Uber Eats is always so quick.
Cuisine is quite ok.But service is not ok.They have given me a soup with 3cl. I guess there was a problem with the delivery. Of course I have asked for pay back and they just didn’t care. They have dared to refuse.will never go back over there.
The service was super friendly and attentive, and the food was delicious. We'll be back!
My family and I love Restaurant Indian Summer very much. The food is divine and the people are so friendly and kind, you really feel welcomed there. We’ve been at this restaurant many, many times and for sure we will go again and again. Highly recommended.
This was our first time at the Indian Summer Restaurant and we really enjoyed our visit: the food is excellent, the service is very warm and pleasant and the restaurant is very nice.
We went here for the first time today and ordered Chicken Korma, Sukha Chicken, and South Chicken—all incredibly delicious. We also tried three different naan dishes, of which we liked the garlic naan the best—so good! (We didn't like the cheese naan quite as much because it was made with cream cheese). The homemade lemonade was also great, and the service was very friendly. We'll be back!
Love this place - as a British person when it says spicy, I want spicy and this place delivers. Really great all around. Highly recommend.
The restaurant's interior is a bit dated, but it was still very clean and inviting. There were two of us there. The food was delicious and the service extremely friendly.It was also quite busy for a Monday evening.We'll definitely eat there again.
We always enjoy coming to this restaurant because the food is excellent and the staff very courteous
Excellent, authentic restaurant with very friendly and welcoming staff! Perfectly spicy, too! We'd love to come back 🙂
Very tasty food (it was also helpful that the spiciness level was indicated). Very friendly and fast service.We found the prices for the food a bit high (but we're not used to Swiss prices 😟)
We booked this restaurant for a Friday evening for 6 people. The food was also tasty and a good portion, the service was friendly and helpful and the atmosphere was fun and relaxing! This was our first time dining here and we will be back for sure.
The food is excellent and the staff is always friendly and helpful! I can only recommend it.
The food was not bad and had the right sized potion even though I would like my idian food a little bit more spicy.However, I was really disappointed that for a takeaway they do not allow to use the Prozentbuch/ vouchers even though it nowhere states that you have to eat inside of the restaurant. Even after writing on the online order, that we will be using the voucher, the personal told me that their boss said it wont be possible to add the voucher for takeaway and that she cant and wont do anything about it. This made the whole experience a disappointing one which is a pity because the restaurant itself looked nice from the inside. Probably wouldn't reccomend it to friends or going again regarding the service and the pricing.
Delicious Indian food, always very busy from how popular the place is. Beautiful restaurant with plenty of choice. Recommend going!
Ordered a butter chicken and lamb madras as a take away, we only got one rice and as you can see from tbe pic the curry is also a half portion, so was disappointed before I took a bite. Then we get to the curry, SALT all I could taste was salt, I nearly returned it is was so bad. Next was the consistency of the curry, it was thin and runny and unlike any curry I have had before and I’ve eaten in hundreds of curry houses. All in all a huge disappointment and would not recommend.
Ordered online from this restaurant for the first time via just eat. The food (Chicken Korma) was delicious! Thank you very much, we will be happy to come and eat there sometime :-).
Very friendly service and delicious food. The selection and portions were large. The ambience is nice and pleasant.
Uncomplicated online reservation system. Large selection of different dishes. The food is good, the portions are generous, leftovers can be taken away.
Raja was very friendly did food as requested though not in their main menu. He was very caring and ensured i get something which suits my palate. To relish good indian food if in basel head to this place.
The place is pretty but the food is horrible. Worde shahi paneer I've had. Ever.Update: Now the restaurant arguments that thos is kadhai paneer, which is even worse. No bell Peppers to be found, not even a light hint of ginger. Really feels like the spices came out of a MDH spice mix.Please investigate what happened. I had high expectations.
We had nice dinner. The food was good and met our expectations. The service was good and pleasant. Well recommended.
Food was very good. Everything tasted delicious. Restaurant was clean and very comfortably furnished inside. The service was very friendly and helpful, there were a few linguistic misunderstandings, but otherwise everything was good.Everything was tasty
Perfect dinner experience, can recommend the Butter Chicken and Mango Lassi is a must try!! Staff was very friendly and professional as well.
The best Indian restaurant in the region, I go there regularly and always return with pleasure Especially butter chicken and kothu rodi really delicious 😋 I highly recommend the Indian summar
It is the cuisine of the north. Ideal if you don't want to eat very spicy food. The location is near the train station, the zoo is also nearby.
I came here to celebrate a birthday party. The atmosphere is very welcoming and traditional. The staff is friendly and they also made a cake surprise and song for my friend which it was incredibly nice! The food was really good, I had the vegetarian option and it was tasty and creamy , while my friends they all get the chicken and they all enjoyed it.I would definitely recommend to give it a try!
Most dishes are nice but cheese naan filled with cream cheese is NOT cheese naan
Well designed restaurant with good food and nice atmosphere. There are non spicey options and spicey option. Authentic, spicey food for indian/sri Lankan people. Highly recommended.
Very good, very authentic Indian food. Been here often. Very friendly staff. Sometimes a bit of a wait is necessary. But it's worth it when the good food comes. Be sure to reserve on weekends.
Very friendly atmosphere and the service is great! Quality high quality dishes and for our taste. Highly recommended! We'll be back! Thank you very much
As always, it was very tasty. The menu is very diverse and the service is first class. We'd love to come back.
The staff was very friendly and helpful. The food was very good and the atmosphere was cozy. We had a great time, thank you.
Probably the best address for first-class Indian dishes!The excellent service as well as the ambience and the high-quality food leave nothing to be desired.We will definitely come back regularly. We were more than satisfied and are happy to have finally found a restaurant that consistently exceeds our expectations.Excellent dishes, also for those who like spicy food :)All in all->A clear recommendation for anyone who visits a restaurant not just to get their fill, but who also appreciates quality and atmosphere!
This was probably the best Indian restaurant I've ever been. The food was delicious, served in small cups to share but the best part was the warm welcome and atmosphere in the restaurant. Everyone was extremely friendly and attentive. This will be our new favourite place for cozy family evenings with great food in Basel!
Very nice staff, cozy atmosphere and fantastic food with generous portions
The food was literally delicious. Raja was very kind in serving and treating us as guest. It’s almost will be in my favorite places to eat in Basel.Until next time…… 😊
Very tasty food, extremely friendly staff and wonderful ambience. An excellent restaurant that I can only recommend!
Food average; drinks good. The owner (?) seems a nice person, but the strange lady -who served us with minimal friendliness- was keep sniffing (!) while we were ordering. That takes much of my appetite straight away. The appetizer tandoori chicken was nice, the coconut curry plain, the lamb vindaloo not spicy enough. Garlic naan nice, rice plenty. Gulag jamun very small portion but tasty enough. Overall ok, but there are better Indians in the area to enjoy
The food is very tasty. Since everything is so good, it's always hard to decide what to order. The food is presented in beautiful different bowls, which is perfect for sharing. Best Mango Lassi!
We always enjoy coming here! You are greeted in a friendly manner, usually by the boss himself, the restaurant is beautifully decorated and offers a pleasant atmosphere and the food always tastes great! For me the best Indian restaurant in Basel!
Very nice atmosphere and kind and fast service. The food didn't impress me that much: it was fine, the souce was creamy, good consistency, but all dishes were salty and tasted a bit similar. The naan was nice crispy and light. Next time I will choose something different to test once more!
This is not Indian food. I also found hairs in my meals. I would not suggest this restaurant
The food was very tasty. I really like Indian food and this was one of the best Indian restaurants I've been to so far. The staff was very nice and helpful. It is also very nicely decorated and you feel very comfortable while eating. Will definitely visit again and it is worth recommending.
Amazing food, with great employees. The food tastes great, and the service is one of the best you can have, very friendly and chatty. Will always come back with pleasure. Book in advance, as it is quite busy, even during the week!
The food was super good and the service was also very great! Thank you! 🌼There are also many vegan options, which are well marked.
We had a team meeting with around 20 people. Everything went smoothly. The staff was super friendly and the food was fantastic! I can only recommend it and would love to come back!
Food and service are fantastic. We always go to Indian Summer and can highly recommend it. The food is excellent.
Our favorite restaurant. All dishes are delicious and very well seasoned, the service is friendly and the atmosphere is cozy.
A great authentic restaurant with very good Indian food and very friendly service. We'd love to come back.
I had dinner at Indian Summer with a group of 10 people today and we absolutely loved it! The ambience of the restaurant is simply fantastic – a perfect mix of comfort and exotic flair. You immediately feel comfortable and can enjoy the pleasant atmosphere.The food was sensational! Every dish was prepared with attention to detail, the spices were perfectly balanced, and the selection of dishes really leaves nothing to be desired. Particularly noteworthy is the freshness of the ingredients and the authenticity of Indian cuisine. Each of us loved the different flavors we were able to try.The service was also first class. The staff was friendly, attentive and professional - despite our large group, we were served quickly and extremely courteously. Special requests were fulfilled without any problems and we really felt like we were in good hands.Conclusion: An all-round successful experience that we will definitely repeat. Indian Summer gets a full 5 stars from us and a clear recommendation!
A pleasant welcome, but above all very high quality Indian cuisine!!! I recommend this restaurant. The service is impeccable, the dishes are delicious, the staff are very pleasant... What more could you ask for? The prices are very reasonable. I recommend
The food was very tasty. We haven't had such good Indian food in a long time. Indian Summer is beautifully decorated. Mango Lassi was so good that I immediately ordered it again.
My favorite Indian place in Basel. The food has always been very good and the service is friendly.
A very nice, authentic Indian restaurant.The food and service were wonderful, nothing to complain about 😍Gladly again, thank you for the lovely evening!
This restaurant is an affront to Indian cuisine. All the dishes use the same curry base, and apart from salt & turmeric no other spice is used.I have attached a photo of what the restaurant calls "Dal Makhani". Dal Makhani is supposed to have a gravy of tomatoes, onion, ginger, garlic and green chillies. The colour is supposed to be dark brown. How can you serve undercooked lentils in a yellow gravy and call it Dal Makhani? And then also claim to be an Indian restaurant?The other dishes we ordered were also extremely bland. Malai Kofta had the exact same gravy as Dal Makhani. Vegetable Devil only had one spice - black pepper. India is supposed to have other spices!Please avoid this restaurant if you want to eat Indian food.P.S. It also took 40 minutes for our order to arrive. Which was a blessing. We were only able to eat the "food" that was served because we were hungry.
The food was excellent and the service was very attentive and friendly! We'll definitely come back
Very, very tasty and very friendly, competent service!The food is always of the same high quality!!! I can really recommend this restaurant!!!
The restaurant was quite good, I was surprised to get the authentic Indian food here and importantly Akhil helped decide the menu and was very respectful and provided us the best service ⭐️
visited twice today and tbh great service great food and the staff. I must remember the name! ya! akhil! look for him! Funny guy and knows how to take care of the guests! cheers
Nice Indian restaurant and friendly service. In addition to the traditional dishes, you will find specialties from South India. The food a good balance of flavors and spices. Gladly again
Today we went to Indian Summer with the family. Our children don't eat spicy foods, so they had butter chicken. I was able to enjoy the devil and my wife the thikka masala. The 4 of us are thrilled with all the dishes and the nice service from Akilan and his team. The food was so good that I didn't want a photo until after I had finished eating it.😅 We'll definitely be back. Anything other than 5 stars makes no sense here. Keep it up!🙌🏽😁
The best Indian restaurant in Basel. The food is amazing and the service so nice. Can not wait to go back !!!
Excellent place.. owner was very humble .. had a good chat with him.. he also quickly gave us ice pack after my son accidentally hurt himself
Delicious food with reasonable price/performance. Unfortunately poor service from time to time.
The staff is super friendly and the food is simply fantastic. We had a wonderful and cozy evening.
Cosy place, kind team, delicious food . What else you expect 😊.Thank you
Very good food! Nice hosts! Warmly recommended! In my opinion the best Indian restaurant in the area!
Everything perfect! Wonderful food, friendly and courteous staff, absolutely stress-free atmosphere. I can only recommend it to everyone! (meat, vegetarian, vegan)
3 adults and 2 children were very satisfied.The food is delicious.The service is attentive, courteous and child-friendly.Thanks for a nice evening!
If you love spicy food, this is the place for you; You can also find dishes without spiciness, don't worry! The staff was friendly and helpful.
Fine food and top vegetarian dishes. Very large selection.Very friendly and attentive serviceCozy atmosphere
In a quiet area. Everything was delicious, fresh and well presented. The staff were very attentive, kind and welcoming. We enjoyed a pleasant terrace, but the decor of the interior rooms was very beautiful. Do not hesitate to come !
Very nice and quiet restaurant. The food tastes good and is colorfully seasoned and served. The lady who served us was very attentive.
Listen up, this is a love letter to your Chilli Chicken. I've been ordering it for what feels like a lifetime, and every single time, the flavours are next-level, food-coma inducing deliciousness. Seriously, as a south asian, I live for this spicy level.But we need to have a little chat about the portion size. For 12 CHF, I got 3.5 tiny pieces of chicken. And I order normally 2 portions because I know its an starter dish but even for a starter the portion is incredibly tiny. I mean, come on, guys, it looked like someone took half a chicken breast, gave it a chop, and called it a day. My taste buds were throwing a fiesta, but my stomach was left feeling like it got stood up at the prom.So here’s my desperate plea: Please, for the love of all things spicy, either share your magical Chilli Chicken recipe so I can attempt to recreate it (and probably fail spectacularly) at home, or, even better, increase the portion size! Just a few more pieces of that divine chicken would make my day – nay, my life! Help a hungry fan out and throw in a bit more chicken.
Indian Summer is the best Indian restaurant in Basel, they have big portion sizes and are affordable! Would recommend!
As always, we were warmly welcomed in the stylish, comfortable guest room and served extremely courteously.You can feel that the carefully prepared, aromatic dishes are prepared with love. Each individual dish has its own unique flavor and is of excellent quality; The spices are perfectly matched to each other and therefore offer authentic Indian culinary delights.The price-performance ratio is also sensational, which always gives us a completely perfect stay.Many thanks to the entire team and see you again soon!
Very good food, even better service. We were impressed and really enjoyed our lunch there today. LG
Good food, but the delivery setup needs work.Update:I thought it had gotten better but again my family waited around for delivery only to find they decided to cancel our order.Update 2:Seems to have mostly figured out delivery through the apps. Food remains excellent.
All the dishes had the same taste and curry base. Nothing like authentic Indian food. I believe there are many other better Indian options in Basel, definitely won't recommend this.
Nice atmosphere, super friendly staff and the food is wonderful!Highly Recommended.
I ordered from Indian Summer and the food was so good that I ordered again the next day and I even wanted to order again the third day in a row.
My mother and I had a very nice lunch here. The food was great. The co-owner was very accommodating and responded to our needs, questions and requests in a very friendly manner.
Super tasty food, nice service & in a relaxed atmosphere (restaurant modern compared to other Indian restaurants in the city).We will definitely come back and can fully recommend Indian Summer
Really fine food, super friendly service! I would definitely recommend it 🙂
Warm atmosphere delicious meal competent and friendly service quality reasonable price I recommend
Staff : The staff is polite and courteous.Ambience : It is a quite place. Good ambience and cleanliness. Largely non-indian crowd when I was there.Food : The flavour is average. But I wasn't expecting flavour anyway. The disappointment was that daal makhani had too much salt. So much that I had to return it. Even when they brought it back, salt content was still quite high.Overall a disappointing experience.
Simply GREAT once again! Everything is alright. A really great boss with attentive employees - a great team and you can feel it. Food excellent, furnishings very inviting, clean and tasteful. We had another happy, fulfilling evening in Indian Summer and will be back soon. What makes me most happy is when I bring new people to this place who are at least as enthusiastic as I am... and that was exactly the case last night. Many thanks to Restaurant Indian Summer.
Everything perfect. Great food, pleasant atmosphere and super friendly service.
Just excellent! Everything I've tried so far has been delicious. Spicy means spicy!!Service is very friendly and take-away is always ready on time. Looking forward to visiting again.
Excellent product and manufacturing quality. We will surely visit it again.
We had a wonderful evening in Indian Summer! Papadams were served right at the beginning, very friendly. The Dhal soup with coriander was delicious, the main courses, whether vegetarian or seafood, were a poem. And, the service was very attentive and friendly.PS: Good lunch menus!
Very warm welcome. We felt comfortable right from the start. Excellent service. Very obliging. Helped me choose the menu and explained everything. Great atmosphere throughout the entire stay. Not intrusive, but very attentive.The food was very tasty. All three home teas are recommended. If you like it sweet: hibiscus or alpine herbs. Super fine mango lassi.We will come back😊Giovanni Romeo
Everything at its best. Food, staff, ambience, background music, prices, portion size, what more could you want?
Extremely lovely and accommodating staff. The food was excellent and you are offered as much rice as you’d like (side dish).The atmosphere was very pleasant and authentic and even though the restaurant was quite full it was not too loud.
Indian Summer Restaurant offers an authentic Indian experience, from the decor to the delicious food. The menu is varied and offers a wide selection of traditional dishes. The service is excellent and the staff friendly and attentive. A must for all Indian food lovers!
Super tasty Indian flavours and good portions, for me, the best indian in town so far. 100% recommended!
Hello Aki, everything was perfect again this time. We'd love to come back. See you soon. Best regards, Roger
Great restaurant. The best madras I have ever had. The staff so friendly and accommodating. Loads of options for vegans, and they are clearly marked on the menus!
Nice cosy restaurant, we really enjoyed the atmosphere and the service was great. Tasty vegan options. We will definitely be back in the near future
Very tasty food and courteous service. We'd love to come back. Recommended!
First time visit and certainly not the last. Reception, service, support and attention are exemplary. Oh yes, before I forget: the food is delicious!
It was our favourite Indian restaurant in the area. It even moved to this much nicer location than before, but since the last two weeks, orders were mixed up, it was too spicy (ordering none spicy) and the replacement didn't have any taste at all, plus the parathas are far from what they've been a month ago 😔We'll come back after the summer vacation to see (and we sincerely hope) if it's back to what we've been used to 😊
I can only recommend! Very good food, very nice service and the restaurant has a really nice, cozy atmosphere.
Indian Summer is a real treasure for lovers of Indian cuisine. The flavors are authentic and the dishes are fantastically prepared. The atmosphere is welcoming and relaxed, perfect for a leisurely meal with friends or family. The service is excellent, making the overall experience a real treat. We look forward to dining there again soon!
It is now the second time we have been to this restaurant and again we were not disappointed: everything is delicious and the service is very nice & helpful. Do not forget to order their butter naan: omg! If food & people in India are as great as in this restaurant, we regret we have never visited India....
Mega tasty and very rich and be careful, it is also very spicy like the chilli chicken
Nice and cozy restaurant! Sensational food and great service!Best Indian restaurant far and wide!
Best Indian restaurant in the area.The waiter was super friendly and even offered us the Indian passport after the extra, extra spicy food.Anyone who likes spicy food will be very happy here.
The food and drinks were sensational. We'll be back next week. :-)The service is very courteous and charming, although when the restaurant gets full there are only two people for the buffet and service.Beautiful ambience and very pleasant light. The restaurant is really highly recommended.
Great, authentic restaurant with very friendly staff.We were a group of six people and everything went wonderfully.The food was all very good, the drinks were also great.Tip: Since the restaurant is always fully booked, make a reservation in advance!Will definitely go to Indian Summer again☀️
Very good Indian cuisine. The restaurant is going well, so make sure you make a reservation.
A wonderful Indian restaurant. From the warm welcome to the farewell, the well-coordinated team makes you feel very welcome. The extensive menu leaves nothing to be desired. The explanations of the exciting dishes and wines are understandable and accurate. We had dinner there on December 31, 2023. Despite being at full capacity, the staff was very attentive, friendly and helpful. Also a big compliment to the kitchen, we received the dishes in a timely manner and they were once again a real treat! We had another very successful evening at “Indian Sommer” and can recommend this address with a clear conscience. We are already looking forward to the next visit!
The food is well prepared and presented-delicious. The server made helpful suggestions to assist us in deciding how much to order. The drink offerings are innovative, which we really appreciated! What a truly pleasant evening!
Eating in the restaurant was a real treat! The lamb curry was deliciously prepared and the lentil soup was also a highlight. The friendly staff provided excellent service, and the homemade hibiscus tea perfectly rounded off the dining experience. The cozy atmosphere and the diverse menu make this restaurant a clear recommendation. I'm already looking forward to my next visit!
Great food, amazing service. Only minor complaint is that the amount of actual meat per dish is rather small.
Absolutely great place ! The food is authentic and delicious. The staff extremely friendly , many of them (if not all) speak good English . Also very cozy and relaxing atmosphere. One of the few non touristy places open on Sunday for lunch as well.
Extremely delicious food, attentive, humorous service and a relaxed atmosphere. Authentic and high quality, young and fresh at the same time.
Great food (not spicy is actually not spicy) and extremely friendly service! I'd love to come back.
I put a little comment, while passing through Basel for the holidays, we made a little detour to this restaurant. Indian food lovers with an average budget (between 50-65 francs for 2 people), this place is perfect for you. The food is good, the waiter is friendly, the atmosphere is relaxed and the music allows you to relax. We had a great time☺️
We had a wonderful evening at 'Indian Summer'. The food was really delicious and the service was extremely accommodating. Highly recommended. It was our first time in this restaurant and definitely not the last time. Thank you!
Good food, nice serviceShahe Paneer for life💯Mango lassi🥭Garlic Naan💘Chai💕
Very nice place, great food and even better service. You feel so welcome here. Totally recommended.
One of the best Indian food in basel. Everybody should try it.
Very good chicken korma, perhaps the best in Switzerland. The staff is very attentive and the atmosphere is very cozy. The visit has always been a nice experience so far.
I had lunch today (13.12.2023) at Indian Summer Restaurant. I ordered chicken with naan bread, and broccoli soup that was included in the menu. The 'broccoli soup' was so watery with no trace of broccoli! The main meal arrived and was told that the naan would follow in 2/3 minutes. The vegetables on the plate looked pretty meager and lifeless.The chicken pieces had hardly any masala. After waiting for over 10 minutes, I asked the waitress about the naan. She said that it would be ready soon. I asked her to cancel the naan, finished the lacklustre meal, paid and left the restaurant.As an elderly Indian, with a fine taste for Indian cuisine, I was very disappointed with the food and service at this restaurant.
There is simply a good atmosphere in this restaurant! This is so valuable and is also transferred to the food. Very good value for money.
Always a pleasure to eat here - everything is great. For me the best Indian I know. But be careful - spicy also means spicy here. 😉
We ate there as a larger group (7 people).The atmosphere in the restaurant is inviting and the distances between the tables are well chosen. We were served very friendly and when we asked for recommendations the menu was explained to us. While ordering, there were also tips on what would go well with it, for example as a starter.Everyone enjoyed the food, the portions were more than sufficient (5 of us had to have something packed, which worked without any problems). The starter was even explained and introduced to us again when it was served.
Friendly and attentive staff, cozy atmosphere and above all: very good food.
I found it very nice and was very positively surprised. The staff was very nice and the location too. Always saw the Instagram pictures and always wanted to eat there. And that was the best decision - the food not only looks good but also tastes delicious. Always my pleasure.
Delicious food and very friendly staff. We will definitely eat here again 🙂
Good restaurant, authentic taste. The dishes are a little expensive
Here you can find fine Indian food in a nice atmosphere. The butter chicken and chicken tika masala we ordered were very good and the portions were very large. On a Sunday evening you could find a table even without a reservation. The service is very friendly. The only problem was the ventilation, after a while it got a bit stuffy. All in all a good experience, the food is recommended.
Unfortunately it wasn't meet my expectations. Meat and sauces were not good. Afterwards we didn't feel well the whole night. The clothes after the dinner smelt bad.
For us, the best experience so far regarding Indian food in Basel. Everything was very nice, very very friendly service, menu card with a very good selection, price okay.
The food is delicious, the service is very friendly and the atmosphere is nice. There are vegetarian and vegan dishes. The prices are normal for Basel-Stadt.
One staff managing from customer service to beverage making all by himself. Poor fella but he was still very cordial and nice. We enjoyed the mutton nasi briyani, butter chicken, naan very much. Price was pretty reasonable as the portion was good for 4 small/medium eaters. Will definitely return
Very great restaurant, the staff are extremely nice and the food tasted good. The portions were really big, unfortunately we couldn't eat everything
Food super tasty and large portions.Service was very friendly and attentive. Overall worth a visit. Lots of vegi and vegan options.
We have waited for the food for over an hour! Ordering took a very long time too as they have only one waitress for the whole restaurant..We ordered a middle spicy dish which was full of hot chillis so we couldn’t eat that dish at all.We also have asked for more rice in the beginning of the meal, but it hadn’t arrived until the dishes were already cold.We would really not recommend to go there
Good food, nice location, friendly service, pleasant, quiet atmosphere. Three lunch menus to choose from. Gladly again.
Our first, but certainly not the last, visit to this restaurant was simply fantastic! The friendly and courteous staff made our evening an unforgettable experience.The food was simply outstanding and undoubtedly the best Indian food I have ever tasted in Basel. The flavors, presentation and quality of the food were simply outstanding. We ordered a variety of dishes including Chicken Vindaloo, South Chicken and Chicken Tikka Masala. Every bite was a real taste explosion.We are thrilled with this restaurant and can fully recommend it. Whether for a romantic dinner for two or a social gathering with friends, this restaurant has something to offer for everyone. We are already looking forward to our next visit!
Very good evening spent in this magnificent Indian restaurant, the best in town!The dishes are delicious and you can feel that they are homemade.Also served in generous portions!
Friendly and competent service. The food was served very promptly and was very good. We will be happy to come back!
We come here regularly and it's always wonderful. We love the food, the staff, the location. Date for two or as a big table of 10, we recommend it for any occasion.
Because of the good reviews, we went there for the first time and we weren't disappointed. The food was very good and the service was very friendly, as was the menu advice.
Wonderful food, great service! Very attentive and friendly, the food came quickly and was fantastic. Our dog was also welcome and even got a bowl of water, great! Thanks to the team for the nice evening! ❤️
Wow. Just Wow. Cannot describe how beautiful the flavours I had when I tasted the biriyani and the chicken vindaloo curry. The curry's taste brought me back to my home villages taste. So wonderful. Would definitely recommend to everyone. Thank you so much brother. This is from Siva 😂🙏
Good People. Great Servive! I have come from the UK on holiday to Swiss and this was what I had for dinner on the first night. I most definitely recommend this. If anyone south asian people would want some nice Indian and Sri lanakn food I definitely recommend this place. Thank you Anna for everything. From Bala 😊
The whole end to end experience is lovely. You can book a table 24/7, online which is very convenient. My family and I loved the very relaxed and positive vibe underpinned with nice music, you notice it right away when you enter. Extremely friendly staff who were very forthcoming and customer oriented, instead of focusing mainly on their tasks. They could read desires before they were expressed, which is rare in Basel. The food was the icing, very nice and authentic indian food, when it says spicy it is spicy which is great for people who like that! Soon again, thank you! 🙏🏾
Dishes tried -Chicken biryaniPalak paneerLacha parathaBest Indian food. Friendly and helpful staff.The quality for the price you pay seems reasonable. It’s neither economical nor too costly.There is a lot of Chicken and masala gravy which is more compared to the rice in the biryani. The portion of palak paneer too is very good. All in all a good experience.
They moved to a new place. The food remained the same however the portion is definitely smaller. A chicken saag had 4 (!) small chicken peaces. Their “Lunch card” reader almost never works. Prepare debit/credit card as an option too in case you want to pay with it.
The food was really good and the owner of the restaurant made us trying an amazing experience. Highly recommended
The restaurant had a beautiful decor and interiors, the customer service was good and the food was of good portion size . The service provided by Mr. Akhil was good and he was very kind and helped us with lot of advice and guidance about accommodation and many other options.Thank you .
The place is very nice and clean. Personell very friendly. The food very tasty, authentic flavors. Mango lassi was great. Only thing is that you may face delays in the service but for sure its worth it.
I dined here on holiday from England and the food was amazing! It tasted very authentic and the service was quick. The staff were also very accommodating and friendly. All in all, if in Basel you should definitely dine here!
Delicious food served with excellent customer service. I could not recommend this place enough. Will definitely be back soon!
The menu was very limited and the samosas were frozen on the inside when we got them. They did warm them up again but it shouldn’t happen.Beer wasn‘t very cold also.Service was friendly but value for money wasn‘t too good.
We found the restaurant very good. Good food at reasonable price and good quantity. Akhil was very nice and caring. Recommended if you are around Basel.
This place deserves all 5 stars. Food is delicious and the people are very welcoming. Great experience!
I had a meal in the restaurant and ordered Mango Lassi and Kothu Parotta.Mango Lassi was not good at all. It was total waste of money. It seems like they have used water instead of yogurt.The Parotta was ok but spicy
We had a really good time at indian summer. Service was really nice and attentive. Unfortunately, the main dishes were far too salty, to the point it was difficult to enjoy them (and I’m someone who eats very salty usually). Great desserts!
The best curry experience I have had in Basel! The food was seriously special and the waiters were really helpful and friendly. I would definitely recommend this restaurant. There was an equal and great selection of veggie and meat options!
Very cozy restaurant. Not super big and has a lot of vegetarian options. The price is also not shocking, so thats for sure a good thing. I ordered the Palak Paneer and the taste was very good! They had a nice primitivo and some good home made soda’s. The service is friendly and good. Will for sure return!
Decent in parts. Bindhi Masala & Naans are definitely worth a try. Pakora & Samosas, not really. Very slow service so do order drinks and appetizers as soon as you get in.
A good new restaurant.The host, Akhilan, was very warm and welcoming. The ambience is very good and located in very calm neighborhood.The restaurant has a parking space in the backyard, a welcome change from other Indian restaurants.Food was good. Hard to find any complaints with the taste, quality and service.Will visit again.
Food wasn't delivered. Ordered at 5:00 PM for delivery at 7:30 PM. At 8:00 PM, the phone said they couldn't help. Unprofessional.
The food was excellent, especially the starters, which were delicious and a little different from the usual. The staff was extremely friendly and attentive. We'll definitely be back soon. Thank you so much for the lovely evening!
I celebrated my birthday and I was satisfied with the food and service I am really happy.
Its really good, food is really tasty (tho can be spicy) and the place looks very nice. But one thing was strange for me - one empty dosa costed SFr. 9.-. For those who doesnt know, dosa is a crêpe. So imagine u get an empty crêpe for 9.- 😄
We received very friendly and attentive service and enjoyed delicious Indian food.
Food was okShe was behaving with Über-driver in unacceptable manner, the driver is working under difficult conditions and she was just shouting on him the poor guy. The behaviour with Über-driver could be much improved here.This message is mainely destinated to Katherina 😉
The food is great and there is a very pleasant atmosphere - I always enjoy coming back and am always very satisfied
Disappointing Experience at Restaurant "Indian Summer, Basel, SwitzerlandI must say this was our worst experience in Switzerland. I visited this restaurant with my family to celebrate my wife's birthday on 4th Oct 2025, and unfortunately, the experience was far from pleasant.What Happened:1. We asked if we could cut a birthday cake for my wife. The staff (a lady) declined our request.2. Later, another lady (whom we assumed was the owner) seemed okay with it. However, the previous staff member returned and rudely questioned why we asked again, stating she had already said no.3. Her tone and behavior were unnecessarily harsh and disrespectful.4. This was our first unpleasant experience in Switzerland, which made it even more disappointing.5. On a positive note, the ambience was good.Despite the nice setting, the rude behavior of the staff overshadowed the occasion and left us deeply disappointed.
Excellent Indian cuisine with the best cheese naan in town! The lunch menu is always good and plentiful. Highly recommended!
We waited 1.5 hours and then left without getting our food.The female server was the worst. After an hour, we pointed out that we'd been waiting so long, but there was no apology, and no answer as to why. When we asked again after another 15 minutes, we received a very snippy reply that the restaurant was full. All the other tables had already had their food by that time, except for us, and we were one of the first tables that evening.The server most likely forgot to send our food to the kitchen, but didn't have the courage to openly admit it.The food was actually really good. What a shame! I won't go there again.
One of the worst dining experiences I’ve had in Basel.I understand that Switzerland is expensive, but this restaurant takes advantage of customers in the name of “fine dining.” The portion sizes were shockingly small for the prices charged — for Chilly Chicken (CHF 19), they served just 4 tiny pieces, and for Chicken Kebab (CHF 19), only 2 small pieces. This is nothing short of daylight robbery.The food itself was average at best, certainly not worth the outrageous prices. Customers expect to pay a premium in Switzerland, but what they don’t expect is being blatantly ripped off with such miserly portions.There are plenty of good Indian restaurants across Europe that serve generous portions at fair prices. This place survives only by misleading unsuspecting visitors. Absolutely not recommended — save your money and your appetite!
Great experience, the dishes are as beautiful as they are delicious! The atmosphere is very cozy and everything was perfect from start to finish. Thank you
Very cozy, incredibly friendly staff, and sensationally good food. We'll be back :)!
Last Saturday I ate at Indian Summer, and once again, it was fantastic! The service was also perfect and very friendly. I don't understand the two negative reviews at all; they're probably just jealous! I highly recommend it.
Hello Indian Summer!Thank you for your wonderful hospitality & delicious food!The atmosphere was good & the service too.. I will have one suggestion, the dishes were taking time to come, so maybe a bit of an improvement possible there.. However, I understand that, you must be busy with a lot of customers today, since it was the rush of the peak time & the weekend.. So all good there!From the food perspective, the starters and drinks were amazing! Really good.. The main course, specially those Indian specific main course dishes were good, an improvement needed in the Lamm Biryani & probably the sweet (Halwa).. These were average. Everything else was simply delicious!An additional comment, considering the price to quantity ratio, we would say, you can increase the quantity a bit more. For example, in this Tandoori Chicken starter, there were just two pieces, tbh, other competitors serve more! So, just a friendly suggestion to increase the quantity a little bit more! Overall, quality & the taste, tip top! 😋👌
A really great location, the food is excellent and the staff are very friendly and attentive.
The best dahl soup I've ever eaten. Everything was delicious and the service was excellent.
The food was delicious and the portions were generous. The staff was very friendly and attentive.
The Kottu Roti was delicious, and the service was, as always, very friendly! We'll be coming back again and again!
I liked a nice and high-quality restaurant. The food and service were great.
The food was delicious. The service was very attentive. We'll be back. Thank you very much.
My friend and I ordered chicken tika skewers as starters, chicken vindaloo and chicken tika masala + garlic naan. It was so good we ordered an additional portion of butter chicken. The food knocked us down (in a good way).
Great food with a wide selection and friendly service! I always enjoy coming here.
Amazing place! Delicious food and fabulous service and staff. Reccomend!
It's actually my favorite place to eat in the city, but the last two times it took over an hour for the food to be served. It's a shame, because Uber Eats is always so quick.
Cuisine is quite ok.But service is not ok.They have given me a soup with 3cl. I guess there was a problem with the delivery. Of course I have asked for pay back and they just didn’t care. They have dared to refuse.will never go back over there.
The service was super friendly and attentive, and the food was delicious. We'll be back!
My family and I love Restaurant Indian Summer very much. The food is divine and the people are so friendly and kind, you really feel welcomed there. We’ve been at this restaurant many, many times and for sure we will go again and again. Highly recommended.
This was our first time at the Indian Summer Restaurant and we really enjoyed our visit: the food is excellent, the service is very warm and pleasant and the restaurant is very nice.
We went here for the first time today and ordered Chicken Korma, Sukha Chicken, and South Chicken—all incredibly delicious. We also tried three different naan dishes, of which we liked the garlic naan the best—so good! (We didn't like the cheese naan quite as much because it was made with cream cheese). The homemade lemonade was also great, and the service was very friendly. We'll be back!
Love this place - as a British person when it says spicy, I want spicy and this place delivers. Really great all around. Highly recommend.
The restaurant's interior is a bit dated, but it was still very clean and inviting. There were two of us there. The food was delicious and the service extremely friendly.It was also quite busy for a Monday evening.We'll definitely eat there again.
We always enjoy coming to this restaurant because the food is excellent and the staff very courteous
Excellent, authentic restaurant with very friendly and welcoming staff! Perfectly spicy, too! We'd love to come back 🙂
Very tasty food (it was also helpful that the spiciness level was indicated). Very friendly and fast service.We found the prices for the food a bit high (but we're not used to Swiss prices 😟)
We booked this restaurant for a Friday evening for 6 people. The food was also tasty and a good portion, the service was friendly and helpful and the atmosphere was fun and relaxing! This was our first time dining here and we will be back for sure.
The food is excellent and the staff is always friendly and helpful! I can only recommend it.
The food was not bad and had the right sized potion even though I would like my idian food a little bit more spicy.However, I was really disappointed that for a takeaway they do not allow to use the Prozentbuch/ vouchers even though it nowhere states that you have to eat inside of the restaurant. Even after writing on the online order, that we will be using the voucher, the personal told me that their boss said it wont be possible to add the voucher for takeaway and that she cant and wont do anything about it. This made the whole experience a disappointing one which is a pity because the restaurant itself looked nice from the inside. Probably wouldn't reccomend it to friends or going again regarding the service and the pricing.
Delicious Indian food, always very busy from how popular the place is. Beautiful restaurant with plenty of choice. Recommend going!
Ordered a butter chicken and lamb madras as a take away, we only got one rice and as you can see from tbe pic the curry is also a half portion, so was disappointed before I took a bite. Then we get to the curry, SALT all I could taste was salt, I nearly returned it is was so bad. Next was the consistency of the curry, it was thin and runny and unlike any curry I have had before and I’ve eaten in hundreds of curry houses. All in all a huge disappointment and would not recommend.
Ordered online from this restaurant for the first time via just eat. The food (Chicken Korma) was delicious! Thank you very much, we will be happy to come and eat there sometime :-).
Very friendly service and delicious food. The selection and portions were large. The ambience is nice and pleasant.
Uncomplicated online reservation system. Large selection of different dishes. The food is good, the portions are generous, leftovers can be taken away.
Raja was very friendly did food as requested though not in their main menu. He was very caring and ensured i get something which suits my palate. To relish good indian food if in basel head to this place.
The place is pretty but the food is horrible. Worde shahi paneer I've had. Ever.Update: Now the restaurant arguments that thos is kadhai paneer, which is even worse. No bell Peppers to be found, not even a light hint of ginger. Really feels like the spices came out of a MDH spice mix.Please investigate what happened. I had high expectations.
We had nice dinner. The food was good and met our expectations. The service was good and pleasant. Well recommended.
Food was very good. Everything tasted delicious. Restaurant was clean and very comfortably furnished inside. The service was very friendly and helpful, there were a few linguistic misunderstandings, but otherwise everything was good.Everything was tasty
Perfect dinner experience, can recommend the Butter Chicken and Mango Lassi is a must try!! Staff was very friendly and professional as well.
The best Indian restaurant in the region, I go there regularly and always return with pleasure Especially butter chicken and kothu rodi really delicious 😋 I highly recommend the Indian summar
It is the cuisine of the north. Ideal if you don't want to eat very spicy food. The location is near the train station, the zoo is also nearby.
I came here to celebrate a birthday party. The atmosphere is very welcoming and traditional. The staff is friendly and they also made a cake surprise and song for my friend which it was incredibly nice! The food was really good, I had the vegetarian option and it was tasty and creamy , while my friends they all get the chicken and they all enjoyed it.I would definitely recommend to give it a try!
Most dishes are nice but cheese naan filled with cream cheese is NOT cheese naan
Well designed restaurant with good food and nice atmosphere. There are non spicey options and spicey option. Authentic, spicey food for indian/sri Lankan people. Highly recommended.
Very good, very authentic Indian food. Been here often. Very friendly staff. Sometimes a bit of a wait is necessary. But it's worth it when the good food comes. Be sure to reserve on weekends.
Very friendly atmosphere and the service is great! Quality high quality dishes and for our taste. Highly recommended! We'll be back! Thank you very much
As always, it was very tasty. The menu is very diverse and the service is first class. We'd love to come back.
The staff was very friendly and helpful. The food was very good and the atmosphere was cozy. We had a great time, thank you.
Probably the best address for first-class Indian dishes!The excellent service as well as the ambience and the high-quality food leave nothing to be desired.We will definitely come back regularly. We were more than satisfied and are happy to have finally found a restaurant that consistently exceeds our expectations.Excellent dishes, also for those who like spicy food :)All in all->A clear recommendation for anyone who visits a restaurant not just to get their fill, but who also appreciates quality and atmosphere!
This was probably the best Indian restaurant I've ever been. The food was delicious, served in small cups to share but the best part was the warm welcome and atmosphere in the restaurant. Everyone was extremely friendly and attentive. This will be our new favourite place for cozy family evenings with great food in Basel!
Very nice staff, cozy atmosphere and fantastic food with generous portions
The food was literally delicious. Raja was very kind in serving and treating us as guest. It’s almost will be in my favorite places to eat in Basel.Until next time…… 😊
Very tasty food, extremely friendly staff and wonderful ambience. An excellent restaurant that I can only recommend!
Food average; drinks good. The owner (?) seems a nice person, but the strange lady -who served us with minimal friendliness- was keep sniffing (!) while we were ordering. That takes much of my appetite straight away. The appetizer tandoori chicken was nice, the coconut curry plain, the lamb vindaloo not spicy enough. Garlic naan nice, rice plenty. Gulag jamun very small portion but tasty enough. Overall ok, but there are better Indians in the area to enjoy
The food is very tasty. Since everything is so good, it's always hard to decide what to order. The food is presented in beautiful different bowls, which is perfect for sharing. Best Mango Lassi!
We always enjoy coming here! You are greeted in a friendly manner, usually by the boss himself, the restaurant is beautifully decorated and offers a pleasant atmosphere and the food always tastes great! For me the best Indian restaurant in Basel!
Very nice atmosphere and kind and fast service. The food didn't impress me that much: it was fine, the souce was creamy, good consistency, but all dishes were salty and tasted a bit similar. The naan was nice crispy and light. Next time I will choose something different to test once more!
This is not Indian food. I also found hairs in my meals. I would not suggest this restaurant
The food was very tasty. I really like Indian food and this was one of the best Indian restaurants I've been to so far. The staff was very nice and helpful. It is also very nicely decorated and you feel very comfortable while eating. Will definitely visit again and it is worth recommending.
Amazing food, with great employees. The food tastes great, and the service is one of the best you can have, very friendly and chatty. Will always come back with pleasure. Book in advance, as it is quite busy, even during the week!
The food was super good and the service was also very great! Thank you! 🌼There are also many vegan options, which are well marked.
We had a team meeting with around 20 people. Everything went smoothly. The staff was super friendly and the food was fantastic! I can only recommend it and would love to come back!
Food and service are fantastic. We always go to Indian Summer and can highly recommend it. The food is excellent.
Our favorite restaurant. All dishes are delicious and very well seasoned, the service is friendly and the atmosphere is cozy.
A great authentic restaurant with very good Indian food and very friendly service. We'd love to come back.
I had dinner at Indian Summer with a group of 10 people today and we absolutely loved it! The ambience of the restaurant is simply fantastic – a perfect mix of comfort and exotic flair. You immediately feel comfortable and can enjoy the pleasant atmosphere.The food was sensational! Every dish was prepared with attention to detail, the spices were perfectly balanced, and the selection of dishes really leaves nothing to be desired. Particularly noteworthy is the freshness of the ingredients and the authenticity of Indian cuisine. Each of us loved the different flavors we were able to try.The service was also first class. The staff was friendly, attentive and professional - despite our large group, we were served quickly and extremely courteously. Special requests were fulfilled without any problems and we really felt like we were in good hands.Conclusion: An all-round successful experience that we will definitely repeat. Indian Summer gets a full 5 stars from us and a clear recommendation!
A pleasant welcome, but above all very high quality Indian cuisine!!! I recommend this restaurant. The service is impeccable, the dishes are delicious, the staff are very pleasant... What more could you ask for? The prices are very reasonable. I recommend
The food was very tasty. We haven't had such good Indian food in a long time. Indian Summer is beautifully decorated. Mango Lassi was so good that I immediately ordered it again.
My favorite Indian place in Basel. The food has always been very good and the service is friendly.
A very nice, authentic Indian restaurant.The food and service were wonderful, nothing to complain about 😍Gladly again, thank you for the lovely evening!
This restaurant is an affront to Indian cuisine. All the dishes use the same curry base, and apart from salt & turmeric no other spice is used.I have attached a photo of what the restaurant calls "Dal Makhani". Dal Makhani is supposed to have a gravy of tomatoes, onion, ginger, garlic and green chillies. The colour is supposed to be dark brown. How can you serve undercooked lentils in a yellow gravy and call it Dal Makhani? And then also claim to be an Indian restaurant?The other dishes we ordered were also extremely bland. Malai Kofta had the exact same gravy as Dal Makhani. Vegetable Devil only had one spice - black pepper. India is supposed to have other spices!Please avoid this restaurant if you want to eat Indian food.P.S. It also took 40 minutes for our order to arrive. Which was a blessing. We were only able to eat the "food" that was served because we were hungry.
The food was excellent and the service was very attentive and friendly! We'll definitely come back
Very, very tasty and very friendly, competent service!The food is always of the same high quality!!! I can really recommend this restaurant!!!
The restaurant was quite good, I was surprised to get the authentic Indian food here and importantly Akhil helped decide the menu and was very respectful and provided us the best service ⭐️
visited twice today and tbh great service great food and the staff. I must remember the name! ya! akhil! look for him! Funny guy and knows how to take care of the guests! cheers
Nice Indian restaurant and friendly service. In addition to the traditional dishes, you will find specialties from South India. The food a good balance of flavors and spices. Gladly again
Today we went to Indian Summer with the family. Our children don't eat spicy foods, so they had butter chicken. I was able to enjoy the devil and my wife the thikka masala. The 4 of us are thrilled with all the dishes and the nice service from Akilan and his team. The food was so good that I didn't want a photo until after I had finished eating it.😅 We'll definitely be back. Anything other than 5 stars makes no sense here. Keep it up!🙌🏽😁
The best Indian restaurant in Basel. The food is amazing and the service so nice. Can not wait to go back !!!
Excellent place.. owner was very humble .. had a good chat with him.. he also quickly gave us ice pack after my son accidentally hurt himself
Delicious food with reasonable price/performance. Unfortunately poor service from time to time.
The staff is super friendly and the food is simply fantastic. We had a wonderful and cozy evening.
Cosy place, kind team, delicious food . What else you expect 😊.Thank you
Very good food! Nice hosts! Warmly recommended! In my opinion the best Indian restaurant in the area!
Everything perfect! Wonderful food, friendly and courteous staff, absolutely stress-free atmosphere. I can only recommend it to everyone! (meat, vegetarian, vegan)
3 adults and 2 children were very satisfied.The food is delicious.The service is attentive, courteous and child-friendly.Thanks for a nice evening!
If you love spicy food, this is the place for you; You can also find dishes without spiciness, don't worry! The staff was friendly and helpful.
Fine food and top vegetarian dishes. Very large selection.Very friendly and attentive serviceCozy atmosphere
In a quiet area. Everything was delicious, fresh and well presented. The staff were very attentive, kind and welcoming. We enjoyed a pleasant terrace, but the decor of the interior rooms was very beautiful. Do not hesitate to come !
Very nice and quiet restaurant. The food tastes good and is colorfully seasoned and served. The lady who served us was very attentive.
Listen up, this is a love letter to your Chilli Chicken. I've been ordering it for what feels like a lifetime, and every single time, the flavours are next-level, food-coma inducing deliciousness. Seriously, as a south asian, I live for this spicy level.But we need to have a little chat about the portion size. For 12 CHF, I got 3.5 tiny pieces of chicken. And I order normally 2 portions because I know its an starter dish but even for a starter the portion is incredibly tiny. I mean, come on, guys, it looked like someone took half a chicken breast, gave it a chop, and called it a day. My taste buds were throwing a fiesta, but my stomach was left feeling like it got stood up at the prom.So here’s my desperate plea: Please, for the love of all things spicy, either share your magical Chilli Chicken recipe so I can attempt to recreate it (and probably fail spectacularly) at home, or, even better, increase the portion size! Just a few more pieces of that divine chicken would make my day – nay, my life! Help a hungry fan out and throw in a bit more chicken.
Indian Summer is the best Indian restaurant in Basel, they have big portion sizes and are affordable! Would recommend!
As always, we were warmly welcomed in the stylish, comfortable guest room and served extremely courteously.You can feel that the carefully prepared, aromatic dishes are prepared with love. Each individual dish has its own unique flavor and is of excellent quality; The spices are perfectly matched to each other and therefore offer authentic Indian culinary delights.The price-performance ratio is also sensational, which always gives us a completely perfect stay.Many thanks to the entire team and see you again soon!
Very good food, even better service. We were impressed and really enjoyed our lunch there today. LG
Good food, but the delivery setup needs work.Update:I thought it had gotten better but again my family waited around for delivery only to find they decided to cancel our order.Update 2:Seems to have mostly figured out delivery through the apps. Food remains excellent.
All the dishes had the same taste and curry base. Nothing like authentic Indian food. I believe there are many other better Indian options in Basel, definitely won't recommend this.
Nice atmosphere, super friendly staff and the food is wonderful!Highly Recommended.
I ordered from Indian Summer and the food was so good that I ordered again the next day and I even wanted to order again the third day in a row.
My mother and I had a very nice lunch here. The food was great. The co-owner was very accommodating and responded to our needs, questions and requests in a very friendly manner.
Super tasty food, nice service & in a relaxed atmosphere (restaurant modern compared to other Indian restaurants in the city).We will definitely come back and can fully recommend Indian Summer
Really fine food, super friendly service! I would definitely recommend it 🙂
Warm atmosphere delicious meal competent and friendly service quality reasonable price I recommend
Staff : The staff is polite and courteous.Ambience : It is a quite place. Good ambience and cleanliness. Largely non-indian crowd when I was there.Food : The flavour is average. But I wasn't expecting flavour anyway. The disappointment was that daal makhani had too much salt. So much that I had to return it. Even when they brought it back, salt content was still quite high.Overall a disappointing experience.
Simply GREAT once again! Everything is alright. A really great boss with attentive employees - a great team and you can feel it. Food excellent, furnishings very inviting, clean and tasteful. We had another happy, fulfilling evening in Indian Summer and will be back soon. What makes me most happy is when I bring new people to this place who are at least as enthusiastic as I am... and that was exactly the case last night. Many thanks to Restaurant Indian Summer.
Everything perfect. Great food, pleasant atmosphere and super friendly service.
Just excellent! Everything I've tried so far has been delicious. Spicy means spicy!!Service is very friendly and take-away is always ready on time. Looking forward to visiting again.
Excellent product and manufacturing quality. We will surely visit it again.
We had a wonderful evening in Indian Summer! Papadams were served right at the beginning, very friendly. The Dhal soup with coriander was delicious, the main courses, whether vegetarian or seafood, were a poem. And, the service was very attentive and friendly.PS: Good lunch menus!
Very warm welcome. We felt comfortable right from the start. Excellent service. Very obliging. Helped me choose the menu and explained everything. Great atmosphere throughout the entire stay. Not intrusive, but very attentive.The food was very tasty. All three home teas are recommended. If you like it sweet: hibiscus or alpine herbs. Super fine mango lassi.We will come back😊Giovanni Romeo
Everything at its best. Food, staff, ambience, background music, prices, portion size, what more could you want?
Extremely lovely and accommodating staff. The food was excellent and you are offered as much rice as you’d like (side dish).The atmosphere was very pleasant and authentic and even though the restaurant was quite full it was not too loud.
Indian Summer Restaurant offers an authentic Indian experience, from the decor to the delicious food. The menu is varied and offers a wide selection of traditional dishes. The service is excellent and the staff friendly and attentive. A must for all Indian food lovers!
Super tasty Indian flavours and good portions, for me, the best indian in town so far. 100% recommended!
Hello Aki, everything was perfect again this time. We'd love to come back. See you soon. Best regards, Roger
Great restaurant. The best madras I have ever had. The staff so friendly and accommodating. Loads of options for vegans, and they are clearly marked on the menus!
Nice cosy restaurant, we really enjoyed the atmosphere and the service was great. Tasty vegan options. We will definitely be back in the near future
Very tasty food and courteous service. We'd love to come back. Recommended!
First time visit and certainly not the last. Reception, service, support and attention are exemplary. Oh yes, before I forget: the food is delicious!
It was our favourite Indian restaurant in the area. It even moved to this much nicer location than before, but since the last two weeks, orders were mixed up, it was too spicy (ordering none spicy) and the replacement didn't have any taste at all, plus the parathas are far from what they've been a month ago 😔We'll come back after the summer vacation to see (and we sincerely hope) if it's back to what we've been used to 😊
I can only recommend! Very good food, very nice service and the restaurant has a really nice, cozy atmosphere.
Indian Summer is a real treasure for lovers of Indian cuisine. The flavors are authentic and the dishes are fantastically prepared. The atmosphere is welcoming and relaxed, perfect for a leisurely meal with friends or family. The service is excellent, making the overall experience a real treat. We look forward to dining there again soon!
It is now the second time we have been to this restaurant and again we were not disappointed: everything is delicious and the service is very nice & helpful. Do not forget to order their butter naan: omg! If food & people in India are as great as in this restaurant, we regret we have never visited India....
Mega tasty and very rich and be careful, it is also very spicy like the chilli chicken
Nice and cozy restaurant! Sensational food and great service!Best Indian restaurant far and wide!
Best Indian restaurant in the area.The waiter was super friendly and even offered us the Indian passport after the extra, extra spicy food.Anyone who likes spicy food will be very happy here.
The food and drinks were sensational. We'll be back next week. :-)The service is very courteous and charming, although when the restaurant gets full there are only two people for the buffet and service.Beautiful ambience and very pleasant light. The restaurant is really highly recommended.
Great, authentic restaurant with very friendly staff.We were a group of six people and everything went wonderfully.The food was all very good, the drinks were also great.Tip: Since the restaurant is always fully booked, make a reservation in advance!Will definitely go to Indian Summer again☀️
Very good Indian cuisine. The restaurant is going well, so make sure you make a reservation.
A wonderful Indian restaurant. From the warm welcome to the farewell, the well-coordinated team makes you feel very welcome. The extensive menu leaves nothing to be desired. The explanations of the exciting dishes and wines are understandable and accurate. We had dinner there on December 31, 2023. Despite being at full capacity, the staff was very attentive, friendly and helpful. Also a big compliment to the kitchen, we received the dishes in a timely manner and they were once again a real treat! We had another very successful evening at “Indian Sommer” and can recommend this address with a clear conscience. We are already looking forward to the next visit!
The food is well prepared and presented-delicious. The server made helpful suggestions to assist us in deciding how much to order. The drink offerings are innovative, which we really appreciated! What a truly pleasant evening!
Eating in the restaurant was a real treat! The lamb curry was deliciously prepared and the lentil soup was also a highlight. The friendly staff provided excellent service, and the homemade hibiscus tea perfectly rounded off the dining experience. The cozy atmosphere and the diverse menu make this restaurant a clear recommendation. I'm already looking forward to my next visit!
Great food, amazing service. Only minor complaint is that the amount of actual meat per dish is rather small.
Absolutely great place ! The food is authentic and delicious. The staff extremely friendly , many of them (if not all) speak good English . Also very cozy and relaxing atmosphere. One of the few non touristy places open on Sunday for lunch as well.
Extremely delicious food, attentive, humorous service and a relaxed atmosphere. Authentic and high quality, young and fresh at the same time.
Great food (not spicy is actually not spicy) and extremely friendly service! I'd love to come back.
I put a little comment, while passing through Basel for the holidays, we made a little detour to this restaurant. Indian food lovers with an average budget (between 50-65 francs for 2 people), this place is perfect for you. The food is good, the waiter is friendly, the atmosphere is relaxed and the music allows you to relax. We had a great time☺️
We had a wonderful evening at 'Indian Summer'. The food was really delicious and the service was extremely accommodating. Highly recommended. It was our first time in this restaurant and definitely not the last time. Thank you!
Good food, nice serviceShahe Paneer for life💯Mango lassi🥭Garlic Naan💘Chai💕
Very nice place, great food and even better service. You feel so welcome here. Totally recommended.
One of the best Indian food in basel. Everybody should try it.
Very good chicken korma, perhaps the best in Switzerland. The staff is very attentive and the atmosphere is very cozy. The visit has always been a nice experience so far.
I had lunch today (13.12.2023) at Indian Summer Restaurant. I ordered chicken with naan bread, and broccoli soup that was included in the menu. The 'broccoli soup' was so watery with no trace of broccoli! The main meal arrived and was told that the naan would follow in 2/3 minutes. The vegetables on the plate looked pretty meager and lifeless.The chicken pieces had hardly any masala. After waiting for over 10 minutes, I asked the waitress about the naan. She said that it would be ready soon. I asked her to cancel the naan, finished the lacklustre meal, paid and left the restaurant.As an elderly Indian, with a fine taste for Indian cuisine, I was very disappointed with the food and service at this restaurant.
There is simply a good atmosphere in this restaurant! This is so valuable and is also transferred to the food. Very good value for money.
Always a pleasure to eat here - everything is great. For me the best Indian I know. But be careful - spicy also means spicy here. 😉
We ate there as a larger group (7 people).The atmosphere in the restaurant is inviting and the distances between the tables are well chosen. We were served very friendly and when we asked for recommendations the menu was explained to us. While ordering, there were also tips on what would go well with it, for example as a starter.Everyone enjoyed the food, the portions were more than sufficient (5 of us had to have something packed, which worked without any problems). The starter was even explained and introduced to us again when it was served.
Friendly and attentive staff, cozy atmosphere and above all: very good food.
I found it very nice and was very positively surprised. The staff was very nice and the location too. Always saw the Instagram pictures and always wanted to eat there. And that was the best decision - the food not only looks good but also tastes delicious. Always my pleasure.
Delicious food and very friendly staff. We will definitely eat here again 🙂
Good restaurant, authentic taste. The dishes are a little expensive
Here you can find fine Indian food in a nice atmosphere. The butter chicken and chicken tika masala we ordered were very good and the portions were very large. On a Sunday evening you could find a table even without a reservation. The service is very friendly. The only problem was the ventilation, after a while it got a bit stuffy. All in all a good experience, the food is recommended.
Unfortunately it wasn't meet my expectations. Meat and sauces were not good. Afterwards we didn't feel well the whole night. The clothes after the dinner smelt bad.
For us, the best experience so far regarding Indian food in Basel. Everything was very nice, very very friendly service, menu card with a very good selection, price okay.
The food is delicious, the service is very friendly and the atmosphere is nice. There are vegetarian and vegan dishes. The prices are normal for Basel-Stadt.
One staff managing from customer service to beverage making all by himself. Poor fella but he was still very cordial and nice. We enjoyed the mutton nasi briyani, butter chicken, naan very much. Price was pretty reasonable as the portion was good for 4 small/medium eaters. Will definitely return
Very great restaurant, the staff are extremely nice and the food tasted good. The portions were really big, unfortunately we couldn't eat everything
Food super tasty and large portions.Service was very friendly and attentive. Overall worth a visit. Lots of vegi and vegan options.
We have waited for the food for over an hour! Ordering took a very long time too as they have only one waitress for the whole restaurant..We ordered a middle spicy dish which was full of hot chillis so we couldn’t eat that dish at all.We also have asked for more rice in the beginning of the meal, but it hadn’t arrived until the dishes were already cold.We would really not recommend to go there
Good food, nice location, friendly service, pleasant, quiet atmosphere. Three lunch menus to choose from. Gladly again.
Our first, but certainly not the last, visit to this restaurant was simply fantastic! The friendly and courteous staff made our evening an unforgettable experience.The food was simply outstanding and undoubtedly the best Indian food I have ever tasted in Basel. The flavors, presentation and quality of the food were simply outstanding. We ordered a variety of dishes including Chicken Vindaloo, South Chicken and Chicken Tikka Masala. Every bite was a real taste explosion.We are thrilled with this restaurant and can fully recommend it. Whether for a romantic dinner for two or a social gathering with friends, this restaurant has something to offer for everyone. We are already looking forward to our next visit!
Very good evening spent in this magnificent Indian restaurant, the best in town!The dishes are delicious and you can feel that they are homemade.Also served in generous portions!
Friendly and competent service. The food was served very promptly and was very good. We will be happy to come back!
We come here regularly and it's always wonderful. We love the food, the staff, the location. Date for two or as a big table of 10, we recommend it for any occasion.
Because of the good reviews, we went there for the first time and we weren't disappointed. The food was very good and the service was very friendly, as was the menu advice.
Wonderful food, great service! Very attentive and friendly, the food came quickly and was fantastic. Our dog was also welcome and even got a bowl of water, great! Thanks to the team for the nice evening! ❤️
Wow. Just Wow. Cannot describe how beautiful the flavours I had when I tasted the biriyani and the chicken vindaloo curry. The curry's taste brought me back to my home villages taste. So wonderful. Would definitely recommend to everyone. Thank you so much brother. This is from Siva 😂🙏
Good People. Great Servive! I have come from the UK on holiday to Swiss and this was what I had for dinner on the first night. I most definitely recommend this. If anyone south asian people would want some nice Indian and Sri lanakn food I definitely recommend this place. Thank you Anna for everything. From Bala 😊
The whole end to end experience is lovely. You can book a table 24/7, online which is very convenient. My family and I loved the very relaxed and positive vibe underpinned with nice music, you notice it right away when you enter. Extremely friendly staff who were very forthcoming and customer oriented, instead of focusing mainly on their tasks. They could read desires before they were expressed, which is rare in Basel. The food was the icing, very nice and authentic indian food, when it says spicy it is spicy which is great for people who like that! Soon again, thank you! 🙏🏾
Dishes tried -Chicken biryaniPalak paneerLacha parathaBest Indian food. Friendly and helpful staff.The quality for the price you pay seems reasonable. It’s neither economical nor too costly.There is a lot of Chicken and masala gravy which is more compared to the rice in the biryani. The portion of palak paneer too is very good. All in all a good experience.
They moved to a new place. The food remained the same however the portion is definitely smaller. A chicken saag had 4 (!) small chicken peaces. Their “Lunch card” reader almost never works. Prepare debit/credit card as an option too in case you want to pay with it.
The food was really good and the owner of the restaurant made us trying an amazing experience. Highly recommended
The restaurant had a beautiful decor and interiors, the customer service was good and the food was of good portion size . The service provided by Mr. Akhil was good and he was very kind and helped us with lot of advice and guidance about accommodation and many other options.Thank you .
The place is very nice and clean. Personell very friendly. The food very tasty, authentic flavors. Mango lassi was great. Only thing is that you may face delays in the service but for sure its worth it.
I dined here on holiday from England and the food was amazing! It tasted very authentic and the service was quick. The staff were also very accommodating and friendly. All in all, if in Basel you should definitely dine here!
Delicious food served with excellent customer service. I could not recommend this place enough. Will definitely be back soon!
The menu was very limited and the samosas were frozen on the inside when we got them. They did warm them up again but it shouldn’t happen.Beer wasn‘t very cold also.Service was friendly but value for money wasn‘t too good.
We found the restaurant very good. Good food at reasonable price and good quantity. Akhil was very nice and caring. Recommended if you are around Basel.
This place deserves all 5 stars. Food is delicious and the people are very welcoming. Great experience!
I had a meal in the restaurant and ordered Mango Lassi and Kothu Parotta.Mango Lassi was not good at all. It was total waste of money. It seems like they have used water instead of yogurt.The Parotta was ok but spicy
We had a really good time at indian summer. Service was really nice and attentive. Unfortunately, the main dishes were far too salty, to the point it was difficult to enjoy them (and I’m someone who eats very salty usually). Great desserts!
The best curry experience I have had in Basel! The food was seriously special and the waiters were really helpful and friendly. I would definitely recommend this restaurant. There was an equal and great selection of veggie and meat options!
Very cozy restaurant. Not super big and has a lot of vegetarian options. The price is also not shocking, so thats for sure a good thing. I ordered the Palak Paneer and the taste was very good! They had a nice primitivo and some good home made soda’s. The service is friendly and good. Will for sure return!
Decent in parts. Bindhi Masala & Naans are definitely worth a try. Pakora & Samosas, not really. Very slow service so do order drinks and appetizers as soon as you get in.
A good new restaurant.The host, Akhilan, was very warm and welcoming. The ambience is very good and located in very calm neighborhood.The restaurant has a parking space in the backyard, a welcome change from other Indian restaurants.Food was good. Hard to find any complaints with the taste, quality and service.Will visit again.
