Restaurant New Bombay - Basel

We were given a table right next to the window so we had a lovely view of the river. We were happy to find an Indian restaurant as it is our favourite cuisine. It had many vegetarian and vegan options on the menu. We chose the samosas to start and they came with three small pots of dipping sauce. It was a good job because without the sauce they would have been dry and bland. We needed more sauce. I chose the butter panir masala because that is usually my favourite sauce but the panir did not taste right and I wasn't sure whether it might be off so I didn't finish it, which was a shame because the sauce was very good. The waiter said he spoke English but didn't seem to understand us, so we had to point a lot.

There is much to like about this restaurant: The river view, the simple but classy interior and the seven vegan main dishes. However the only outdoor seating is on the street side (somewhat loud) and at least the person I talked to had trouble communicating in English or German so it was hard to find out about vegan issues. Note that the internet only has the menu from their Zurich branch and does not show the vegan dishes.

A little rude when picking up. eat very well, but a little expensive for the amount.

The woofer rings of the appetizer board have missed otherwise everything is perfect as always.

Has been great. I will order again on occasion.
