Was AMANDA SILVA at Basil Café a mag?
The food at this restaurant is amazing! I definitely recommend checking it out. However, I'm a bit confused because every time we pass by, regardless of the time, it appears to be closed or there are no cars parked outside. Overall, I would rate the food a 4, the service a 3, and the atmosphere a 3. View all feedback.

What A dislikes about Basil Café:
The beef from the mansa was incredibly cheap not even the curry that comes with it could override the flavour however, the nuggets are so very delicious so that saved it from a 2/5 stars to a 3/5 stars. The purple drink I had (I can't remember the name) really didn't taste like anything but lime juice so that was a 2/10, being generous. The entrance was quite notably the worst, confusing and out of place to say the l... View all feedback.

My daughter and I went out for an early dinner. We arrived at 445pm and there were already tables of people! We ordered spring rolls to start. They are HUGE! They came with a side of peanut sauce which was very tasty. Then we split the Vietnamese omelette and basil fried rice. The omelette was also huge (and $20), and it was extremely oily. It was really in a pool of oil. We could only eat the top half because of this. The basil fried rice was good. Rice was a little mushy, flavor was good. The coconut infused water was interesting and the service was really fast. I'd need to try 2 new dishes to be impressed.

This is my favorite restaurant! The service is wonderful and so is the food. I've been here many times over the last 10 years it's still a treat. My favorite is the Thai Lo Mein. The vibe inside the restaurant is really nice and chill, with plenty of speciality drinks. Highly recommended!

The food is pretty bad, not a god Asian place. We got pad thai, pad se ew and green curry. Everything was cooked in a gloppy syrup consistency, not normal. Price was also insane.

Food some of the best I've had in many many years. Service order taken quickly, glass always full, boxed up my leftovers for me. Atmosphere lovely music playing, well decorated. Greeted with smiles and felt very welcomed I will definitely be coming back with more guests, one of the best restaurants I've been to in a long time.

Basil Cafe in Appleton is an excellent place for tasty meals. I recently had their spicy basil dish, and it was bursting with flavor. The coconut water served alongside it was a refreshing touch, and the staff were friendly and attentive. I will certainly return to explore more of their menu!
