"This is one of the best places to eat in San Jose. I'm not saying that they are a 5 star restaurant that will awe you with their incredible atmosphere. On the contrary, they are a small unassuming spot in a strip mall where every dish and each person welcomes you in with comfort and genuine flavor. On top of that, they have an entire counter full of beautiful and delicious sweets.I am not an expert in cuisine from India, so I can't tell you which region their menu best represents but over the few years I've had to enjoy this place I've noticed that a very large percentage of their clients are Indian. So they must be doing something right in terms of authenticity.Thankfully they truly seem intent on spreading the love of their cuisine with anyone that walks through the door. The staff is knowledgeable and graciously patient with all questions about the menu.Normally I would break down the meal we just had here but it honestly does not matter. If you enjoy Indian cuisine or are curious about it, come here.Vegetarian options: There is a great selection of vegetarian dishes. The Vegetable Biryani is delicious.Parking: This is a strip mall. There is a great deal of parking, but you might need to cross a bit of parking lot to get to the restaurant.Wheelchair accessibility: There is a Wheelchair accessible ramp up onto the sidewalk very close to the entrance. There are a few tables in he center of the restaurant that can be set up for people with limited mobility.Dietary restrictions: They are very good about answering questions concerning ingredients and substitution when possible."

"avoid I had lunch in basera bistro. the dinge started well. I chose the a la carte menu and enjoyed the samosas. the next two courses, dal and tandoori, were not good. the dal was suppe and not delicious. the tandoori was hard; overboiled, required chew and chew and chew. what was it about? was the food warmed up in the previous night? during my lunch the restaurant sat a family (a father and 3 children) only the father ordered from basera. he had bought pizzas from another restaurant in the neighbourhood and made the pizzas to eat them. the children played videos on their handys, without ears, on loud, during their meal. this was disturbing and ruined everything I enjoyed about my culinary experience. the next day I stopped between 3-4 on the afternoon to pick up my credit card that the server had not returned to me on the afternoon. it was a shocking sight: all the banquets were filled with sleepers. So when they dine in basera bistro and sit on one of these banquets, image personnel who sleep where they sit; really a fraudulent image. as a footnote: the restaurant called amex and told them that my card was lost, which led to it being broken off instead of using my contact data that are available via opentable. many thanks, basera bistro. that's a big annoying. I'm staying in midtown. I will never return to this restaurant. I would suggest if they consider this restaurant, they think again."
