   Gluten-free Indian fried chicken bites? Amazing. The food was so good and the ambience was lovely. Would definitely go back.

   I'm from London where we are spoilt by great Indian food. In my opinion there are very few good Indian restaurants in Chicago so I am thrilled to have found Bassant. Truly, beautiful, tasty dishes with levels of flavor which are completely delicious. Service is great and they have a good bar if you like fancy cocktails. This is our go to for Indian food, highly recommend

   Basant is the best restaraunt in North Center. A little pricey but it makes it more of a treat, and we never leave hungry. Cant wait to try more!

   Basant promises a "modern" take on Indian food, but I found it on the whole neither especially modern nor especially good at Indian food. The same I had was overly dry, and its sauce wasn't especially interesting, and the dal was not smooth enough and not very tasty. The rice was also only ok. And the restaurant doesn't serve lassi, which seems to me a mistake.

   This place has an incredible take on modern Indian. The vibe is cool, the service was excellent, and the food was so good we couldn’t stop telling our server. Wishes we had even more to take home for left overs. Hope it sticks around, it was pretty slow at 9pm already.
