Was Tara Bertelloni at Chilli Basil a mag?
Just had a delicious meal at this small and casual Thai restaurant for £50 for 3 people! For starters we had prawn tempura, chicken satay and chicken prawn dumplings; then for mains we had Tom yum noodle duck soup, spicy chicken fried rice with an egg, and beef massaman curry. All really tasty and cooked up in minutes. If I lived locally, I would eat here regularly. Note that it is cash only. View all feedback.
What DHL Bambik dislikes about Chilli Basil:
Food: bland, watery, overall flavourless. I tried green curry in many places and it has never been so mediocre. No sweetness-acidity balance, not spicy. Starters alike. Fish cakes were rubbery and oily. Dumplings didn’t taste of anything. I would never expect that from a Thai restaurant. Service: poor, slow, meals are not arriving together. Cash only. Atmosphere: chef shouting a lot, decor absent, not a lot of space... View all feedback.
Food is good could be better. Quantity has been reduced since my last visit Ordered 3 fried rice all came in different portions. And when i asked they said it was cooked together so can portion it urself,which is so awkward because i am not going to take food from the friend who got more rice. Horrible way to serve So i paid more for less quantity Must do better
Food always amazing very flavourful been this place few times with friends.and family
Excellent food had the red curry with tofu, chilli basil noodles with tofu, and spring onions. All the dishes were delicious and very good value for money. The atmosphere was cosy and casual and the service was personal and friendly. I'd highly recommend and I'd happily return here.
