I've been to the sister restaurant The Clay Oven in Kennedy Town before with a positive experience so when I received a discount voucher for Basmati, I decided to try it for dinner. Located on the 1/F, the restaurant was spacious with lots of seats - much bigger than their Kennedy Town restaurant.

Mango Lassi ($36) - I loved the mango lassi here as it was thick and creamy but not too sweet which was perfect for eating with spicy food. I just wished there was more as I finished my drink really fast! The Garlic Naan ($25) and Cheese Naan ($34) were too dry and not fluffy enough. They also lacked in flavors. I think Aladdin's Mess still has the best naan so far. Paneer Butter Masala ($88) - this dish is one of my favorite Indian food and it was well executed here. I love the soft texture of the Indian cottage cheese while the masala was buttery and creamy with a hint of spiciness. Perfect for dipping the naans in to eat. Lamb Vindaloo ($92) - we were warned that this will be spicy but since we like spicy food, we were not deterred! The lamb was tender with chewy parts and the curry was really spicy but flavorful as the same time. Very enjoyable to eat.
