Basil - The Café
Welcome to Basil - The Café, a delightful gem nestled in the heart of Rourkela, Odisha, within the cozy confines of Hotel Anurag Complex. This pure vegetarian café shines as a destination for both locals and travelers alike, offering an inviting atmosphere perfect for relaxed dining.
Basil - The Café specializes in Italian cuisine, boasting a menu that dazzles with options that echo the authenticity of traditional recipes. With dishes such as Pizza Al Pesto, crafted on freshly baked pizza bread that transports your palate straight to Italy, and Creamy Garlic Rose Spaghetti, a comforting dish that combines rich flavors with a creamy texture, every bite feels like an indulgent escape. The Pasta with Pesto Sauce and hearty Pasta Al Forno are additional highlights that cater to both the adventurous eater and the comfort-seeker.

Customer experiences at Basil further enhance the café's allure. Atul Anurag praises the responsive and friendly staff, noting that the food's quality and substantial portions exceeded his expectations, especially the cold coffee that actually tasted like coffee—an important detail for connoisseurs! Meanwhile, Kavita Goenka can't help but rave about the extraordinary quality of food, comparing it favorably to her experiences in Bangalore's best Italian restaurants. Her endorsement of the pizzas, along with the "cheesy and yum" pasta, makes it clear that this spot is a must-try for food lovers.
Even first-time visitors, like Rashmita Dash, were pleasantly surprised by the flavorful offerings, particularly the alfredo pasta with mushrooms. While some reviews mention the service time adjusting with busier days, the overall ambience and quality undoubtedly leave a lasting impression. As Snehansu Swain notes, the open kitchen provides a delightful view into the food preparation process, adding to the dining experience and allowing guests to watch their meals come to life.
