Such a great first experience. Everything came on time and packaging is just exceptional. This is hands down the best online indian grocery store that I've used so far (used around 3-4 others).

Lovely service.

I ordered some products (hair oils) from Bombay Basket a few days ago and I chose the incorrect delivery date. Not realising I had chosen 27th of September for my delivery instead of 27th of August.

I emailed them because my order hadn't arrived, and a customer service guy called me back within 20 minutes, explained what I had done and rearranged my delivery for me.

He was quick, polite and pleasant. I hope to be ordering from them again. I only just discovered their website this week.

Outstanding experience with Bombay Basket

Vegetables were fresh, the spices aromatic, and the packaged goods had ample shelf life. I was particularly impressed with the freshness of the herbs and the variety of fresh chillies and other green vegetables, which are often hard to find in other grocery stores. Thanks

I’m so happy I found this site

I’m so happy I found this site! Everything was packed really well. It was my first order and I spent over £100 so I was a bit nervous at first, but after receiving my delivery today I will be using them for my weekly indian shop moving forward.

TOPPS

I've had 2 dealings with Bombay Basket in the last 2 weeks and have had small issues with the delivery address system online, after speaking with them direct I would have to say their customer service has been TOPPS both problems were sorted almost straight away. Oh and the products are pretty good too I would recommend, thank you.

Items were well packaged and arrived on the specified date with no issues.

I ordered mostly cans, jars and frozen food - all with long dates left.

I ordered a bag of fresh chillies and found they were all very fresh and a nice big bag to last me a while.

I will definitely be using again.

Pleasant Experience!

Was a little concerned given some of the reviews, which I am pleased to say I did not experience. First class service - quick and well packaged goods. Will be a repeat customer for sure!

Just ordered for first and last time

Just ordered for first and last time. On the checkout it said free delivery but on the invoice sent by e-mail they’ve charged me £11.99 for delivery! A two day delivery!
It’s getting put in a van and driven a couple of hundred miles, not flown by drone for next hr delivery straight to the relevant cupboard. I’ve sent golf clubs in my own business, insured for thousands for less. This is two dry (hopefully) sealed ingredients weighing probably less than 1 kg in total.
There better be some gold nuggets in the package!
If the delivery charge had been outlined I would not have ordered, I’d just have driven an hour or so to another supplier. Daylight robbery.

I would give them a zero if I could

I would give them a zero if I could. Appalling quality of fresh goods. I order a very expensive box of mangoes and literally all 12 of the fruits were rotten on the inside. Even the guavas and lemons that I ordered weren't good quality.

Worse still, they took zero responsibility for the terrible quality of their produce and flat out refused to issue a refund or send new items in exchange for the inedible things they sent me. I wish someone had warned me in advance. Terrible experience and I am certain that I will never purchase anything from them ever again - recommend everyone else do the same
