Best Contemporary Indian Restaurants in Wrigleyville

Basant was able to accommodate a party of 14 on a Friday night. We had such a wonderful experience throughout the whole process. For larger groups, it requires more organization and planning. They were so accommodating and communicated clearly and quickly via text and/or email. We had to pre-order our food a day prior so it was coursed out accordingly and allowed our night to be stress free from ordering at the restaurant. That planning worked out extremely well! We were still able to order cocktails and / or supplemental items, but everything was timed appropriately. Our server Izzy was very attentive and helpful. Staff was great, and the service was quick! Now, the food and the cocktails were phenomenal. From fried chicken to paneer makhni to fish and chips. Spice level was great, although I wish we had gone spicy on all dishes instead of medium, but that was in fear of an unknown chef. It was great nevertheless and we enjoyed our evening very much! Well done !

The food is amazing and the staff is always friendly too. I felt like we waited a really long time just to receive our drinks and starter course but it was Valentine’s Day so I know they were busy and the bar probably got backed up.

The twist on the food was very creative and delightful in taste overall. There was perhaps only just one item in the menu that was comparatively bland (Dahi chaat). Service was very attentive and made great recommendations on the cocktails/ drinks. Highly recommend their Spicy Guava G&T and leave some room for their masala chai at the end. One person dining also has a 20% service fee and a kitchen 4% surcharge, which is apparently optional, but didn't say that explicitly. Would go back to try their bar Bites and another G&T!
