What A doesn't like about Basil Cafe:
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. What AMANDA SILVA likes about Basil Cafe:
The food here is fantastic! I highly recommend giving this place a try. However, I've been puzzled because every time we drive by, no matter the time of day, it seems like they're closed or there are no cars outside. Overall, I’d rate the food a 4, the service a 3, and the atmosphere a 3. View all feedback.
