Food here was great. The Parathas are very good and the Chicken Tikka Masala was great too. The staff is helpful and kind. Would recommend people to try it out. Although I’m on vacation I would definitely come back here if I’m in Missouri

Vegetarian based review: Place is very clean and hygiene.They have very less options for authentic Indian cuisine. Pepper garlic fried rice and Samosa was good. But Butter paneer was okay. It was like they have put some fried paneer to Thai red curry. It didn't taste like typical Indian Butter Paneer.Fluffy naan was like layered Paratha (Kerala Paratha).Price is little higher and the quantity they give is little less. But they do give a bowl of white rice as a complimentaryGetting the Parking lot is very difficult. Need to book the parking lot in advance.

Hadn't been here since it was Basil Spice. Came because we wanted the wonderful Pad Thai we remembered at Basil Spice.The new look and menu was great and the food was great, but the Pad Thai disappointed (tasted like ketchup substituted for tamarind, no bean sprouts, no egg, no peanut sauce and no lime) although it was ok.

Authentic Indo-Chinese restaurant. Small place with not a lot of seating. Very good taste for whatever we tried. Food reminds me of the native places from which dishes arose. Very friendly service and owner. Both times we tried, everyone was very cordial. Portions are just right. Not less or too much. Am gonna come here often now and also bring my office mates to this quaint joint.

5 stars is not enough for these guys. Everything we tried was AMAZING!!!!! Knowledgeable staff helped us navigate the menu and find what we didn't even know we wanted. Food was delicious and comforting, as if they had a grandma cooking love into each dish. I recommend to everyone whether you've had Indian food before or are new. Ask questions if you are unsure and the staff will help you find your food match. 100/10 WILL BE GOING BACK AGAIN AND AGAIN!!!! PS Please try the corn fritters and bread, you won't be disappointed.

Absolutely delicious. So many vegan options. We got vegan and non vegan items and they were all fantastic. The pic is of pad Thai. Everything was freshly made and so good. The sauce for the samosas was one of the best thing I've had. I'm pretty picky about my food too and this is definitely somewhere I'll return to.

Had a very disappointing experience. I used to enjoy Basil Spice Thai food alot, this place doesn't come close. The Indian food was good, samosa on point. Pad thai was a joke, the classic frozen short cut green bean, cubed carrot, pea, and corn frozen mix as the veggies, and bland tofu. l could make better going across the street to Jay's international. The green curry was Horrible, they used green good coloring to make it green, and it had the same frozen veggies. it was an Indian yellow curry dyed green and sold as Thai green curry... I felt insulted, there are so many good Thai restaurants on grand, just be an Indian restaurant, it's more honest.

A fantastic experience throughout the entire meal.The young man working the front greeted my brother and I as we walked in the door, seated us and promptly got us our waters and menus. He was incredibly informative about the meal and considerations for my brothers culinary cautions for dairy products.We order the Yellow Curry meal, the Green Curry Lunch Special, the cheese appetizer (the name eludes me now), and the sweet corn cakes.Everything was masterfully prepared and served up in what one could expect from a higher end dining establishment in such fashion that it gave the food an amazing flavor but also give it the much needed appeal and presentation that dishes like these truly deserve.I will definitely be returning, whether for a table for one or a party of friends.A word of advice for those looking for milder dishes or vegan options or spice fanatics, definitely come here and give them a try. You won't be disappointed.

This place is an absolute gem! Fair prices, generous portions, delicious flavors, and phenomenal service! John was our server and he took great care of us, was super personable, and made awesome recommendations. We will be back!

Just left from there a tad disappointed with the size of the dishes (basil lamb and red snapper), but after the visual test and tasting the food I am very happy with my meal! still a tad pricey $35, but will definitely do it again!
