Great post night shift breakfast. $8.99 for a 3 egg classic breakfast special. Amazing. Chef Basel was working alone with our table and two more in house. Still great service and great food. Will definitely be back to try some lunch items.

Liver & Onions were great. The most EXCEPTIONAL thing about Chef Basel Cuisine is the service. Very friendly & smiley Indian woman to greet you & attend to your needs. Feels great to talk to her, very pleasant. Liver & Onions, The Gravy was the AMAZING part. It brought everything together & yes, perfect mash texture. Really enjoyed the meal plus the portion size is BIG which I love because I just went to Shafiq's Restaurant & they gave me so less food the other day, pretty much ripping me off. Here at Chef Basel Cuisine, they serve you generous portions. I love that. Thank you so much Chef Basel Cuisine & I love the name. It really feels great to eat here.

Food took a awhile to come but there were 6 of us and we ordered up a storm! Right beside a gas station. Thought it might be a dump but the menu makes up for everything this place lacks! This is not a gas station dinner , presentation was great , quality was great , worth the visit. We had the pear beet salad , smoked salmon tower , butter chicken poutine , eggs Benedict, pulled pork potato, and the big breakfast !

Have only had breakfast here so far: Home fries? Nailed it. Eggs, bacon, and other meat? Perfect. Toast? .... asked for rye and got white. I guess we cant alllll be perfect. Menu didnt mention the home fries, fried red and green peppers, and fried onions that came with the meal. Menu has many other things I want to try. Sweet (psycho) Sue ftw!

Service was slow, the cook didn t have a hair net on and when I got my eggs there was a black hair cooked right into the yoke. They still made me pay full price for a meal I didn t eat because of the black hair. What a horrible first experience we will never go back again

July 22, 2024

Went to Chef Basel for breakfast yesterday, the coffee tasted like dirty water not even close to coffee. Our food took 30 minutes to come out and when it did the eggs were cold, the potatoes tasted burnt, the toast wasn t even toasted on both sides or buttered. The server came over we ordered a different drink and told her the coffee tasted bad she smiled and walked away. We got our food with all the above issues and only one person ate the food told the waiter about the issue. Sat there nobody came over, no apology. Go to cash out and saw the lady telling manager behind counter she came over and gave bill for $91 and said hope you enjoyed your meals, come again

We went in around lunch, 2/3rds of the restaurant where sat and most had food. We ordered standard brunch sandwiches which take 10-15 mins to make, but waited for 45 minutes before asking to get our food to go because there was no good excuse for such a long wait time - food still didnt come out for another ten minutes. Service was nice but the kitchen seems poorly managed.

Saw the owner do a very good deed. Chef Basal seems like a wonderful man.

March 22, 2024

This place (which I used to adore) constantly tells me they are out of whatever I order. In calling; I expressed this and the lady told me I always change my order. She is right- I do modify my order. It was then expressed that because I ask for extra sauce this order could not be completed. I mention I am happy to pay for a second order of what (just to pay for extra sauce) I got. I thought that was fair- actually more than fair by twenty dollars. She went on to say I gave them a one star rating previously- which I did as I got a hair in my food- So apparently she could not even listen to my issue this time and they should not care, and hung up. What I got out of the conversation is I m being judged or treated rudely for a mistake they made. She seemed prejudice and ignorant. I love the pasta from this place- truly I love this place. In terms of how people are treated- I m disappointed. I can respect good food. I will not tolerate rude service.

The butter chicken was very good. While Im not Indian I eat butter chicken quite often at different restaurants. This restaurant made it very well - tasty but not too spicy. The garlic Naan was very wood as well. *** Ammendment *** My kids both had pizzas - 1 Amore (meat lovers) and 1 BBQ Chicken -- and they were quite large, both had left overs, which I ate this evening. Both pizza flavours were delicious, even as left overs and Id highly recommend them as well.

We had chicken tenders with fries and slaw, bacon burger with salad, fish and chips, Caesar wrap and fries - everything was just great! The prices are very fair - great value. Our server was FANTASTIC - we had to bug her a lot, and she was sooooo sweet and kind!! Will be returning to Chef Basels soon!! Parking: Lots of parking

Very underwhelming. Worst service ever (wasnt Susan). Didnt offer drinks, had to flag her down and ask. No drink menu either. Also had to ask for glasses. Very slow service as well (there were only 2 tables). Three at our table and all three meals were over cooked. The restaurant is freezing. Im pretty sure my feet were numb by the time we left. Oh, and you can smell the washroom while you are eating.

This place is truly unassuming. It was the best food ever! Our party got chicken parmesan, butter chicken, pad ti, a kids pizza (massive!) And kids chicken fingers. We were all extremely impressed with the service, prompt food and below average prices. The portions were also very large. We had a chef eating with us and they were through the roof happy with their butter chicken. I would recommend Chef Basel to anyone. Will be returning here on the regular.

Amazing food with great portions at a very reasonable price. Its one of the few places my house of 5 has been able to leave for under $100. Parking: Its a very big lot, meant for tractor trailers to pull in and out with ease, so keep that in mind when parking, but also means theres loads of space along the edges of the lot. Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair parking is directly next to the door, and there arent any stairs to get in either.

18 of us are in town for a basketball game. The restaurant was recommended to us by a local. We like to support small, local businesses when and where possible. And we couldn t be happier. The restaurant is ran by a family, I believe it was the father (Chef Basel), the mother and their 2 daughters. Food was great, portions were great, prices even greater. The menu covered a wide variety of cuisines. All 18 meals came out pretty much at the same time, all of them still hot and fresh. Honestly, we didn t know what to expect, but not 1 person was disappointed. We have decided this will be our restaurant when we are in town. We are back in 2 weeks and we have already decided where we are eating. Thank you Chef and family. See you again soon.

Little diamond in the rough. Found them just a few months ago and was blown away. Have had several meals since then and all are unbelievable. Notable favorites are the fish tacos (way bigger portion than an app, can be a whole meal) Philly steak sandwich, fish and chips and the pulled pork. Fries are great and the salad is wonderful with their homemade dressing. Breakfast is good too

Chef Basel is an amazing chef! He and his wife own/operate the restaurant. Menu meets all needs, D and I did a late breakfast, D had Mac n cheese, I did what I thought was a regular breakfast. The chef knows how to cook!! Exceptional poached eggs, truly perfect, the crispy potatoes actually melt in your mouth (is that possible?) 4 slices of ham and fresh fruit. Of course I did manage to eat the toast with the 3rd cup of coffee. Chef B we will be back! D loved her mac n cheese. Thanks so much youre amazing. (March 2022) In on the weekend, breakfast still great!! Had a board meeting at Greenwood United Church and popped in for an early supper ... D loved her pasta and I had Yorkshire Pudding with beef and veggies ... truly amazing Chef B! Great food and terrific service as well as reasonable prices!! (May 2022) We keep bringing friends, Sunday after church is a perfect place and a lovely time! (Sept 2022) Great place to meet old friends and new at Chef Basels. A lovely breakfast after Sunday church service. (Dec 2022) D and I just had a simple breakfast sandwich ... it was delightful and sufficient. Sue provided lovely service as well.

Not having ever written a review I hesitate to share this but what I ve experienced of the offerings at chef Basel I had to make sure everyone who can will notice and keep growing this incredible service-the steak with vegetables dinner would rival and defeat any and all it is BBQ grilled and the potatoes and fresh vegetables I have sincerely never had a finer meal and that was take out! Omg/another time I had the butter chicken and it was, again the finest I have ever had the pleasure to eat, complete with true home/hand made naan !!! For a while the cheese and Mac. Dinner was complimentary and I can still taste it when I m hungry haha. I hope this will suffice to say I have a desire to encourage everyone to try and support this talented chef and his beautifully humble setting so it may grow to the level to which chef Basel can deliver his masterpiece plates for a fifty table crowd in the manner he should be provided for the dedication he embodies! Yay! I m Going back now for the steak haha

Large portions with huge flavour! There was so much Pad Thai I ate it the next day- plus there was a large amount of chicken, shrimp, and tofu inside . The western omelette was also generous and not at all greasy. The fruit was ripe and a welcome side to the meal. I definitely recommend stopping here. Parking: Ample

Attached to a gas station, very unassuming but the food & value can t be beat! Fish tacos (listed as appetizers) is huge & delicious; the club sandwich was made with real chicken breast, not processed chicken slices. Fries were hot & crispy, gravy was a bit too salty. Overall good, would recommend going!

Wow, you gotta try this place out. Very unassuming so you might miss it, but trust me the food is all awesome. Great menu, with tons of choices we went twice while staying in the area. The Chicken parmesan is amazing, so is the blackened salmon and the burger. My hubby said probably the best burger he ever had, was nicely charbroiled. The portions are huge so go hungry or will have leftovers. Chef Basel thanks for the lovely meals. 5

Wow, so many items to try on this menu. So far, everything weve had has been delicious. My husband ordered calamari 2 days in a row because he liked it so much. The beet and pear salad is perfectly dressed, the bruschetta is sooo good too. Sandwiches are great and its totally worth the 30 min drive to pick up. I can only imagine how good the food is when youre eating in, but Im not ready for crowds, so well continue to pick up
