“I've never had Indian before so my daughter and I had no idea what we'd like, but the staff was super courteous and gave us stellar suggestions that we ended up loving! I got the chicken Tikka Masala and it was one of the most delicious things I've ever eaten, and everything was gluten free! We will definitely be back!Vegetarian options: Vegetarian friendly!Dietary restrictions: Definitely gluten free friendly!“
“Customer, who wantS to order from the menu, is totally ignored until you finally give up and move to the buffet, which is good, but not what I wanted. They put a glass of water on front of you, but don’t come back. They were rated in Sauce as reader’s choice for top Indian cuisine. You be the judge.“
“Basil India makes some of the most flavorful Indian food I've had in recent memory. Every dish I've tried is bursting with flavor, and is served temperature-hot, and spicy-hot (if you please). Vegan options are few, but those they do have are excellent. The wait staff are friendly and attentive.Yet I don't enjoy hanging out in the restaurant. It is too brightly lit (at certain tables, you feel spotlighted), the furniture is not comfortable, and, worst of all, it is loud. You will hear clamor from the kitchen, the loud banter of other diners, and music that is turned up too high. I enjoy the food immensely, but when I dine in, I want to eat as quickly as possible so I can get out of there. It's not relaxing.If Basil India can fix the ambiance, five stars all the way! In the meantime, I will keep ordering the incomparably zesty Vegan Tikka Masala for takeout.Vegetarian options: Vegan Tikka Masala is amazingly flavorful. Lotus Seed Thai Curry is a close second.“
“Had their weekend buffet. Delicious food for a very reasonable buffet price. Go and see for yourself. Not sure how much the buffet changes, but some dishes that were present (but not all of them):Tandoori chicken, chicken korma, Tikka, chicken bulgogi, spag paneer, they had several vegetarian and GF options.Milk tea was great.“
“Coming back to this restaurant after 8 years for the Afghani cuisine. The Kabuli Palau with slow cooked Lamb Shank, raisins & shredded carrots was as tender & falling off the bone with wonderful flavors just as I remember. It was worth coming back. ???? ????“
“I love Indian food. And wow is this place incredible. The lamb vindaloo stood out in particular. Perfectly spiced all around.Food was fresh and hot and we didn't have to wait long even though they were very busy.Also got to try their honey Chai and it was a perfect sweet side. We will definitely be back.“
“My husband and I took my parents to Namaste along with our 5 month old daughter. The staff was very patient with us, as the baby was fussy when we first arrived. Then after most of the other patrons had finished their meals they changed their TVs to a child's program without prompting to keep her entertained. I don't know of any other restaurant that also features a bar that would do this. Very lovely people on staff there.“

“I got Onion Kulcha, Paneer Tikka Masala and Gulab Jamun for dessert. The food was ready to go at the time I specified online with no issue. The food was great and my Paneer Masala came with a generous helping of jasmine rice. I had enough for the next days meal. I'm okay with spice so I got a medium heat. Glad I did because It had a kick but wasnt a challenge to eat which is what I wanted.I do wish the online order specified the serving size for the Naan and Gulab Jamun. There were 2 slices of Naan, 3 Gulab Jamun which are small desserts but tasty. I would have definitely gotten a second naan if I knew they were good! Will definitely come back.“
“What a delicious tasty treat this little restaurant is. My partner and I came here for the lunch buffet and it was surprisingly delicious. All the food was warm and comforting. They had an excellent variety that really felt like you were getting a taste of their menu. We were greeted warmly and seated promptly. The people working were kind and attentive. Every table was set up with care, the music was not overwhelming and the decorations were thoughtful. The large windows contributed to the comforting warm atmosphere. Overall a really good experience.“
“This is my favorite lunch location in town. We go once a week usually on Tuesdays for goat Keema and Thursdays for goat korma. All of the dishes are delicious with tons of good flavor. The owner and family are so friendly. Check out this incredible family owned business - you won't be disappointed.“
“I have been going to house of India since I was a kid, they had the best lunch buffet for Indian food I've ever had. Unfortunately Covid did away with that and I moved away so when I was ordering from DoorDash, I was willing to try another location. the reviews were pretty solid for this one, and I couldn't have been happier with the food that I received. The samosa was great, I've had samosas at so many restaurants, and it's kind of hard to have a bad one, but this one was very solid. The saag paneer (sautéed/creamed spinach with cheese cubes) was badass. I added some of the garlic naan and dipped the garlic naan into the saag paneer....woah. Mouth party for 1. Great flavor, great spices. The tandoor chicken was also very good, however, I think to have this dish at its best it really needs to be fresh out of the oven. And to no fault of the restaurant it takes about 45 minutes to an hour to receive it, so very delicious, but I would love to try it at the restaurant. The chutneys were great as well. I will still visit house of India, because that place has been doing it well for a long time, but I will now add taste of India as another one of my favorite restaurants for Indian food in St. Louis. Very impressive especially for delivery food that takes about 45 minutes to get to you. So it must be that much better in the restaurant.“
“My wife and I are hard core foodies- although Indians we appreciate all cuisine. We wanted to try Indian cuisine during our trip to St Louis and found a treasure- TURMERIC StreetStyle!We highly recommend the Chettinad Mushroom Katti roll or the Paneer tak-a-tak Dosa roll…. You don’t wanna miss the best Mango lassi in the Midwest or the Masala chai!!Cheers to Stephen bro!! Such a humble and kind person!“
