Why Diners Choose BASANT Indian Social Dining

Authentic Himalayan and Indian culinary crossover, refillable group banquets, and reliable takeaway in Camberwell.

  • Distinctive Himalayan & Indian Menu Crossover

    BASANT pairs regional Indian curries with authentic Himalayan and Nepalese dishes, featuring momos, momo soup, and signature timur spiced chicken alongside tandoori classics.

    As a Nepali, I especially loved the dishes that carried a familiar Himalayan touch and reminded me of the typical flavors we enjoy back home in Nepal.
