About Us

Basanti found a home in June 2017 in beautiful San Juan Capistrano, but it was actually born in my mind since 2007.

I always wanted to open a neighborhood restaurant that served delicious Indian cuisine with excellent customer service. Having been brought up in a household where my father rushed home from work every day to try new recipes for us, and spent weekends treating extended families to his delicacies, I yearned to create an establishment that served delicious cuisine whilst making guests feel welcome.

Basanti, a decade in the making, is my tribute to my father for instilling in me the love of food and the joy it brings to share it with others.

Please come share this joy with me at Basanti.

Love, Roshan
