What Mark B doesn't like about Sweet Basil Restaurant:
Very poor service. Called the restaurant at about 7:30 pm to order food for takeout. No answer. Went to the restaurant an hour later at 8:23 PM. Open sign was lit up. Website shows open hours to 10 PM. Sign on door so showed hours to 9 PM. Was told at 8:23 when I was standing at the counter to order food that they were closed. I drove across town to try this on a recommendation. I likely won’t be back to try this aga... View all feedback. What Tom Serroul likes about Sweet Basil Restaurant:
I ordered delivery for the Rice Noodles with Lemongrass and Crispy Tofu, asked for it to be spicy. It was the best Vegetarian dish I had in a long time. Excellent flavours and the Tofu was cooked perfectly. I can't wait to order it again. View all feedback.

The beef vermicelli noodle bowl is delicious! I order it every time I visit whether it's in the restaurant or take out. Decently priced food and fast serving.

Sweet Basil has received a mix of reviews lately, with some customers expressing disappointment in their meals and service, while others have raved about the delicious food and friendly staff. While some diners were let down by bland dishes and poor service, others were pleasantly surprised by the flavorful food, especially praising dishes like the Beef Satay Hot Plate and Rice Noodles with Lemongrass and Crispy Tofu. The restaurant seems to have a loyal following, with some customers returning time and time again to enjoy the tasty food and quick service. Overall, it appears that Sweet Basil offers a unique dining experience in Fort McMurray, with affordable prices, large portions, and a varied menu that includes Filipino dishes alongside more traditional options.
