The style of cuisine where Basu’s HomeStyle originates from is savory and spicy, but only mildly to moderately hot. Our dishes do have ingredients that connect with the heat receptors on your tongue. However, those hot ingredients are also balanced with other ingredients (sugar, for an example) that produce a smooth, balanced taste and finish. This balanced flavor is the product of delicately blending 8-10 different herbs and spices. The combination is so seamless that the food is neither particularly “sweet” nor “spicy”, but a combination of all the flavors added. This is why our foods, while exhibiting traces of ingredients such as ginger, cayenne peppers, or red chilies (which cause the heat), are nicely complemented with ingredients like sugar, garlic, cardamom, cinnamon and cloves (which tends to give the food a sweet yet subtle quality.) It is our experience that people find the taste of Basu’s HomeStyle a perfect balance between spicy and mildly hot. Since what is considered “hot” varies widely from person to person, it’s practically is impossible to be all things to all people. But we try.
