Cynthia Mon If you are going for £10.99 drinks exclusive(no more extra charge), you will get what is worth 10.99. I will break it down into categories and make a review based on £10.99 buffet.I only had Chinese and Thai food this time. The following review is Asian approved. Food variety- More variety to choose from in Chinese section. I didn’t see much in Indian or other Italian dishes. Taste-Pork in black bean sauce and pork ribs were my favorites. Spring rolls and Noodles were also tasty. I enjoyed Tofu and Chinese cabbage. Way better than London’s Chinese buffet restaurant. This one is legit. Sushi- rice is good but the taste is bare minimum. Soup- only corn soup is available. I wish they put more for soup . Fruits and desserts- they are really nice. I loved their cakes and ice-cream. Dinner buffet would be pricier but comes in more variety than the lunch one. Restaurant size and decoration- it is bigger inside than it looks outside. Cleaneliness- they keep it very clean with very often cleaning at the food station. Overall, You will definitely get what you paid for. The taste is not blend at all for Chinese food. I don’t know about the rest. Some place might sell this for £15. Make a reservation one day in advance to avoid 20min-long walk-in queue .

Benny Goh Way Ming Absolutely great Italian restaurant. The food we had was all excellent and (Norma Paccheri, Frutti Di Mare, Sinfonia Al Pistacchio and Dolce Sfera for dessert). They have a nice dessert counter with extra things that aren’t on the menu. Definitely will be back.

Jamie Leigh Paul It was second visit to the Spice Restaurant and once again I was not disappointed. The food and the service was superb. I had the lamb tikka and pilau rice, while my mother tried the spiced special curry, and my spouse had the lamb Malaya. The spiced special curry was a mixture of meats (chicken, lamb, kebab). I was able to sample both of their dishes, and they mine, we all agree that all of the dishes were delicious. For drinks, we choose the cobra beer which complemented the food perfectly. The server was good. Im sorry I was unable to get his name but he treated us well both times. I was a bit troublesome with my spice request but he was able to satisfy my request of Hot! Hot! hot!. The restaurant is cosy, the seats are a bit too close to each other but beyond that my experience at this restaurant has been remarkable. I will definitely recommend.

Ela Ansell First time ordering and when we arrived it was busy which was a good sign. We ordered quite a lot, got home and the only thing that could have been better was the rib (was overcooked and dry) in the mix starter for £9, good portions split between two with enough for a full meal each tomorrow. Would def order again, thank you

Kapil Varshney Went to Raai in Basingstoke, and let me tell you… my inner Desi Dad was VERY impressed. And trust me, impressing a Desi Dad with restaurant food is harder than passing CA exams. First of all, the prices. Arre wah! Reasonable. Sensible. Pocket-friendly. For once I ate outside without calculating ‘yeh ghar pe bana lete toh…’ in my head. Now the food: • Pav Bhaji: Perfectly buttery. Spicy enough to wake your senses but not your ancestors. • Vada Pav: FINALLY, a vada pav that doesn’t taste like mashed potato pretending to be from Mumbai. This one had personality. • Masala Dosa: Crispy, golden, and made me temporarily forget I’m in Basingstoke and not wandering somewhere in South India looking for filter coffee. • Veg Thali: VALUE. FOR. MONEY. Portions so generous even my inner Gujarati approved. Everything tasted like it was made by someone who isn’t afraid of spices — God bless them. Service? Fast. No unnecessary attitude. No one hovering around waiting to snatch your plate the moment you take the last bite. Desi Dad approves. Overall: Good food, good quantity, good prices. If you’re in Basingstoke and want proper desi street-food vibes without taking out a loan, Raai is the place. Will I go again? Bilkul. Maybe I’ll even take the kids… if they behave.

Sam Chick It was my mother’s birthday and we had a larger table for 7 adults and 3 kids. The staff were fantastic and we had drinks very quickly. The meals were fantastic. The roasts were 5 stars and the signature burger. I had the steak ale pie and loved it. Need to visit again soon!! Highly recommend for a large group and child friendly. 5 stars!!
