April 7, 2019I was looking for somewhere special to throw my 2 best friends an engagement party and I discovered Basil Spice and from the moment I phoned I was passed onto... read more their Wonderful Manager Adam. I was in contact with Adam frequently for about a month asking all sorts of questions and requesting things and changing my mind and he got back to me straight away and made everything possible.
Adams’s lovely wife decorated the table and did the balloons all complimentarily and helped saved the cake that we had brought for the event and decorated it with flowers.
Once I arrived at the venue everything was perfect the food was delicious there was soo much of it just kept coming and coming. If we ran out of something they just replaced it. We had a £25 a head set meal which meant first we got Poppadoms and dips next we had a plate with different Indians starters one each then we had a special kind of onion baji and dip then we all got to choose our main course this was served with multiple rices and Naan breads and also potatoes . Then for dessert we had ice cream and some kind of cake honestly not sure what it was but it was very yummy. We were also given hot wipes at the end. The whole night the waiting staff and cooks were sooooo helpful anything extra they brought to us no problem and Adam explained to us the menus and gave good recommendations I usually stick to a Korma but even I tried something new. I am going to recommend this place to all my friends because it was a wonderful evening and worth the money.

We have tried 4/5 of the local restaurants with a few miles radius of Basildon train station and to be blunt, they were simply shockingly awful.
Basil Spice on Cranes Farm Road knocked the all others out of the park!

March 10, 2020This was not our first visit to Basil Spice. It was a busy night with a large party for a 40th birthday. The restaurant was decorated with awesome ballons supplied... read more by owners wife. There were a few tables on the perimeter for those not part of the 40th celebrations.
Our order was taken promptly but we were not rushed. Service was good with all waiting staff and the owner being attentive to our needs. We were offered our starters at the same time as our main course which we declined - an odd request I thought!
So we had our starters and then there was a reasonable gap before our mains arrived. The food was good and well presented. We both had drinks too.
When the bill came I was disappointed to see that the beer I was drinking shown as £4.95 for a pint on the menu had actually been charged at £5.50 a pint. I did point this out and was told that the prices had gone up but the menu's had not been updated. I was unable to check the price of the food as we only had the drinks menu at the table. I was left wondering with a large party of revellers had the drink prices been put up for the night? It was a disappointing end to an otherwise enjoyable experience. Will we go back? Maybe but we will keep an eye on the prices. And £5.50 for a pint in a local retaurant seems a bit steep to me. Oh well!!Steve H
