Basel Curry Night September

I think it's today

The Bombay Palace is the best one for food.

several restaurants to try out
bombay palace, easy and convinient parking trams etc..
royal indian palace, close to the university is an option as well

opp. to shutzen matt park there is a good indian restaurant as well.

for european indian taste, some feel Jays in johanniter brucke is as well good.

Mandir in Spalentor is an easy one to recommend, I've never had a bad curry there.

Restaurant Indian Tandoori Palace is one of the best in Basel indian restaurant in basel.

Is it your restaurant or their restaurant?

As an Indian, that place is just not worth it for me! Toned-down spices, at least half an hour before they bring you the first morsels...

The best Indian food I had in the region is "Indien Palace" in Lörrach, 15 mins by car from Basel.

There is a Curry take-away in the new Stücki shopping center. Havent tried it, but it smelled great the day we were there

Hi

There is a new Indian restaurant just on the border of France; Elsasserstrasse. It's called Maharaja. I haven't had the chance to eat there yet but I spoke to the owner and he said he'd run an Indian restaurant in Lorrach for years; must be the one mentioned earlier in this post. Let us know if anyone goes!

Yes, Indien Palace is new in Lörrach - the restaurant Maharaja was in the same place before this! I dont know if the same guy runs both restaurants, though..

I am not sure if its too late to reply on this thread.... But did try out the indian restaurant Kings kurry in Stucki mall...Its really good...And for an indian as me, it was the closest thing to my taste buds...

Just posted a socal event to try it :

Basel Curry 4th Nov

I've been wanting to visit this restaurant for long to try out its South Indian(mainly Keralan) food.
Was enticed by the Special Keralan dishes like Appam with Mutton stew etc on their menu.

My memory is awful, but wasn't this the place where we had an EF curry and got completely ripped off? (The buffet ended up costing more than a 3 course a la carte meal )

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.

You can see the restaurant on Google Street View, it looks like the same place to me. I remember all the roadworks and having to walk over a bridge of planks to get into the restaurant.

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.

I am also looking for a good Indian restraunt and will try some that have beem mentioned. Been to Bombay Palce twice and would not recommend it.

Try the Maharajah (literally on the border of Basel and St Louis). I went there two weeks ago with the EF and it was good, went there again last week with the missus and it was even better. My wife actually abandoned her already nice Chicken Jalfrezi to help me out with my Lamb Chilli Curry

Yep, that's the location. The pic is obsolete and that is where the Spanish restaurant is.

I thought the Indian restaurant was above average, but not great. We went there a few times. No matter - it's gone now!
