First time at Holy Basil but it will not be the last. Our wait staff were efficient and lovely, we ordered from an excellent menu and our meal arrived in good time. The fritters were hot, crispy and tasty, the tea leave salad so flavoursome and the crab dumplings....oh heaven! Our main course arrived one by one which was lovely as it allowed us to absorb each taste sensation. Ginger and scallops....need I say more, they were a match made in heaven, the the best barramundi ever, lastly the calamari. Each dish had its own flavour. The serves are an excellent size and my friends and I left with full but comfortable tummies. Annotate recommend this fabulous restaurant more highly, this was the first visit but will not be the last. Thank you Duncan, you and your staff will see us again.

My family had dinner at Holy Basil last night. Loved the new menu! I had the cashew curry and it was so delicious! My son is vegetarian and he was impressed with the choices. He had the ginger curry and was not disappointed! My husband and daughter are gluten intolerant. They chose the barramundi red curry and the Pad Thai. Both dishes were full of flavour and just yum! Also loved the entree choices. The new bao buns are exceptional! Staff are always friendly and respectful. It’s our favourite restaurant, which is lucky because we live about 5 minutes away!

Best Thai food in the eastern suburbs great new menu offering traditional flavors and seafood choices there is also plenty of vegan and gluten free options, however there are no chicken or meat options

This place is amazing, they had a large amount of gluten free options which is always a winner in my book. I love that they are different to the 'cookie-cutter' thai restaurants around the place in that they only use fish/seafood in their dishes; this sets them apart and creates a uniqueness. I love the sustainability aspect of this restaurant too and wonder why it is not done in other places. This consideration of their impact on the environment shows in the respect they pay their food and customers. The only disappointment was that they were closed over the Christmas/New Year break as I wanted to come back again! Will definitely recommend to all my Melbourne friends and will visit again next time we are in Melbourne.

We were a table of 10 or so but the service was great!. The food is wowser!! Loved it. It is seafood and vegatable dishes - not meat and so fresh!
