| Well, if I'm not sadly mistaken and geographically deranged, I would say it's gone.
There's a Spanish restaurant there now called Don Quijote (or similar). And it's really good actually. We've been there twice.
I remember about a month back going by on the tram, looking down and thinking "Don Quijote, that's a funny name for that Indian restaurant we've been to a few times". Next time on the tram I looked closer.
I'd recommend the Spanish!
Edit: while on the topic, the WORST meal I've ever had in Basel was at Mandir. | |

Its not in the location they have specified i've now confirmed as well. Sad, because the menu was really good. Wonder why they decided to continue to keep their website live.
P.S
Would be good to see more South Indian restaurants in Switzerland. Some restauranters i believe think that 'South Indian cuisie on its own' will not sell on a regular basis, but they do sell like for eg Madras Curry House and Kobals in Zurich. There are a wide variety of dishes in the cuisines of each of the 4 Southern states that a frequent customer would order a different kind of dish every time (its not like Oh it's boring to eat the same cuisine every time!).
One problem i observed with Indian restuarants in Switzerland (both South and North cuisine) is that (most of them) dishes that are good on their own but do not combine with each other as a whole to make a great meal (a good Roast Dinner for eg needs a good gravy to or something to bring them together, enough empasis needs to be given to bringing the various dishes together into a tasty meal overall), and try to make sure that the dishes in a Thali and to an extent in a Buffet are selected carefully so that they are in harmony with one another.
