We have eaten here twice now, the last occasion was a tuesday and it was a little quiet. The food was excellent, well presented and plentiful. The staff were attentive and friendly without being overly so. And we found it great value for money. Looking forward to our next visit. More

I stayed in Thornbury for work earlier in the year and needed to find somewhere to eat in the evening, knowing nothing about the town or local amenties. After a short walk to check out as many menus as I could, I settled on the Thai Basil, mainly because it looked friendly (eating on your own can be dismal sometimes)... More

been here a few times recently, with friends and family but this time as a couple. As always the food is outstanding and always plentiful. The staff are very friendly but not overbearing. The set menus are resonable and the staff are happy for you to chop and change if there is something you don't like. Well definately come again... More

We chose dishes from the full menu rather than a set menu for no reason other than we'd had the set menu before and fancied a change. Dumplings and beef salad for starters - very good, mains included a very tasty battered fish dish with a very fragrant lemongrass sauce. Wine list was reasonably priced. The restaurant wasn't hugely busy... More

The Thai Basil has become a firm favourite with my wife and I. The restaurant has a nice atmosphere and the staff are friendly. The food is superb and the portions are just right. I have dined at other Thai restaurants but none have come close to the standard of the Thai Basil. In fact, just typing this review has... More

Great little family run Thai Restaurant, The Head chef is Thai while the front of house team are Chinese hence the lack of Thai language noted by some reviewers. Please don't let this put you off coming here. The food is clean, healthy and packed full of flavour. If your fed up with greasy Chinese and oily Indian come here.... More
