Basera

Date: August 22, 2015
Restaurant: Basera
Address: 745 Ninth Ave

Party: 2
Occasion: dinner

Order:
Malai Kofta
Vegetable Jalfrezi

Food:
Pretty good. Not as spicy as I would have liked, and I think the masala was the same for both dishes, but one was dairy based and the other was a tomato base so it worked out.

Service:
Very nice. I asked about the ingredients in the dishes that I liked ordering and they had the answers. Water was frequently refilled. They also let us stay until closing, which was about 3 hours after we sat down.

Atmosphere:
Dim lighting, quiet. There was a sports bar and Bollywood playing on opposite sides of the room, but not in an intrusive way.

Cost: $14/person
*Sidenote: We ordered vegetarian and shared, so the cost is lower than if you were to order meat.

Overall Grade: A
