Thai Basil UK — Restaurant in Ashford

What a lovely little place!

Booked a table with ease most likely not required of a weekday evening which was our experience.

Upon arrival greeted and seated with choice there was about half of tables occupied.

Drinks menus supplied first and we chose a cocktail and beer each. Delicious cocktails and fast service.

Once drinks were taken we were given food menu's and spoilt for choice. Having both been to Thailand and enjoy the variation of food we felt spoilt for choice.

We chose two dishes to share one being a curry we opted for the jungle curry and a chicken because you dish with fresh vegetables. We selected a vermicelli noodle dish to accompany this as we saw it on another table being served and were not disappointed with our choices.

Food potions are generous and more than enough share. We also chose tom yum soup and sweetcorn fritters which are a favourite of ours. We had no complaints about the food and loved how fresh and tender the meat was in all the dishes.

Having limited options for thai and Asian food in Ashford this place is a hidden little gem out of town.

It's most certainly worth a visit and we shall be back.

The dishes were not overly spicy and I would say are pallet accessible for people who cannot or do not like spicy food. We spoke with the lovely waiters who were just the nicest of people with smiles and lovely communication. It's very clear that they enjoy working there. We asked if on our next visit would it be possible to request our dishes a little more spicy which they said wouldn't be a problem. We both love spicy food on occasion and recall enjoyable experiences from our visits to Thailand.

I love pad preaw wan which is a sweet and sour style dish which we didn't get as I wanted to try other dishes.

The Tom Yum soup was one of the nicest I've had not too spicy and full of rich flavour it's most certainly not something that's made from a packet obviously but as a traditional soup dish goes it's typically made and served in a big pot. The flavour was really enjoyable. We most certainly over ordered but we did manage to eat almost everything.

Having lived in London and being spoilt for choice it's great to start seeing good authentic and great quality restaurants pop up around Ashford now.

Parking wise there's a few spots outside and more a short walk away which was free.

The toilets were spotless and had accessible facilities including wheelchair and parents facilities. This venue is accessible for wheelchairs and those who may have mobility issues as it's step free including in all areas of the restaurant.

Service was fast and all dishes were served with warm plates. The attention to detail wasn't missed the cutlery and service ware was beautiful and very elegant.

I don't typically do in-depth reviews but feel this place has given a lot of thought and deserves it.

We have also tried their order and delivery service before we decided to visit the restaurant. We enjoyed it and think their dishes travelled well but you cannot beat an in-dining experience.

Most certainly worth a date night, celebration or just evening out.

Food price wise I would say value for money and not expensive. £10-12 a dish and fish dishes around £14-15 I was impressed...

Elaborate very warm and cozy environment with the staff being absolutely wonderful.

When I first came here I was nervous incase they didn't do walk in's inwhich they do luckily with that we didn't have to wait long to get seated and the waitress/waiters were extremely friendly they gave warm welcomes and were essentially amazing throughout the whole way they did have a good sense of humour and had helped with amany things we slightly struggled in. I had come with 3 of my other friends and the price range was £50 - £60 it isn't that expensive the appetisers were delicious do becareful if you do have any allergies but overall the experience was satisfying, I would come here again our waitress was sristi she was wonderful very happy very enthusiastic person she was very keen to notice things and helped us we do hope this establishment grows and gains the recognition it deserves. The waitress/waiters are wonderful the food is exceptional as an Asian myself most of the food here was amazing some of the sauces are good but some I didn't really like but they were still good enought to eat the desserts unfortunately i didn't get to try as our lift came earlier than expected but my other friend had had it before and she loved it absolutely and was the reason we came here. Not to mention that the portion sizes come as the price sizes if you get something for £5 or less you'll get that size of goods everything here is ligit and you won't regret coming here. You can get take away and get a to go bag but it would take time so I didn't but if you ever do go I'd recommend not planning anything after or too close to it as you will eat the food and want more. The drinks here were delicious though it was mainly adult drinks there was a fine selection for kids/teens there are mocktails which are delicious and would recommend they do give water for free though incase you're on a budget. They do see you out as the door is very present so dinning and dashing isnt very smart. I would absolutely recommend this restaurant as the food here is amazing, the waiters were incredible and the atmosphere was...

Have been to this place several times since it opened, on our own & with friends who have since returned and always had a good time with excellent food. We visited last night (15th June) with friends, had a really nice meal & our friends commented on how good the food was. As it was a birthday treat our friends offered to pay the bill. The waitress brought the card machine to the table & my friend paid. I happened to notice that the payment went through as a green tick appeared on the screen. He asked for a receipt which she was unable to produce. Then as we were getting ready to leave, the owner/manager stopped us & said the payment hadn't been accepted & affectively accused us of leaving without paying. My friend then produced his banking app which showed that the payment had gone out from his account. The manager then questioned whether this could have been for another Thai restaurant (coincidentally for the same amount on the same day???). He then asked my friend to leave contact details before we left. All this took place in front of a packed restaurant which was highly embarrassing. We are very unlikely to return unless we and my friends receive an apology.

OK. Thank you. We have now received an apology with an admission that they were wrong and the whole thing could have been handled far better...
