Among all the Hong Kong-made films related to India, the most frequently mentioned must be Indian curry. As everyone knows, curry is only a small part of Indian cuisine, and other dishes are more in line with Asian tastes. Basil Indian Restaurant is the most well-known Indian restaurant in Hong Kong, with five outlets, attracting many Indians and tourists alike, and it is packed every day.
One of the main reasons why many customers come here is that it has won the "Michelin Plate Award" and is on the Michelin Guide list. The chef of the restaurant specializes in cooking Northern Indian cuisine, and from time to time he has created bold and innovative dishes, so he has amassed many loyal fans. To eat Indian food, you can't help but try the Tindoni Grilled Chicken, which originates from the cooking techniques of northern India, using a special cylindrical earthen kiln oven to grill the chicken over charcoal fire, the moisture and aroma are locked, the meat quality of the chicken is not firewood, because it has been marinated overnight with cheese, turmeric powder and red pepper and other seasonings before roasting, so the chicken will be red, with the store's special sweet sauce, full of flavor. In a similar vein, the chicken is served on a tray, similar in color to New Orleans roast chicken, and you can hear the swishing sound of oil. Under the action of high temperature, the unique flavor of Indian spices is fully released, rich but not too irritating, and the chicken texture is on the thick side, which is worth recommending.
Naan naan is the perfect accompaniment to curry, with a similar pronunciation to naan and a similar texture, which can be eaten in almost every Indian restaurant. The scones are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, so you won't feel dry when you bite into them, and the restaurant will sprinkle black truffle or garlic sauce on the surface to enhance the flavor, and it is the most authentic to eat with curry. For dessert, we recommend Mango Lassi (mango cheese), which is a thick cheese base and mixed with a mango smoothie to form a milkshake, which has a thick and fruity taste and is very thirst-quenching.
Compared to other foreign restaurants, Basil Indian Restaurant is more integrated into Hong Kong society. Although the waiters are all Indian, they are proficient in Cantonese to serve customers, but Mandarin is more difficult. The service is excellent, and the menu is very well translated, so you don't need to have much psychological pressure to eat at this restaurant. In addition, the exterior of the store is decorated in a striking orange color, and the interior environment is similar to that of the Western style, and the design is very bold. Several branches produce stable products, and there are occasional online group buying activities, which are cost-effective, and the Michelin Plate Award is well deserved.
