A great place to have one of the best and most filling Thai food . The prices are reasonable, the staff is highly professional and friendly and the service is prompt and punctual as well. Highly recommended.
Best pad thai in London! This restaurant works on a first come first served policy so go there with time as there is always a waiting line. The food is amazing and in very big quantity, I had to share my prawn pad thai.
Food is really great and affordable. My favourites: dumplings (number 4) and spicy noodles with basil and beef (numb 73), they just need to work on their portions. The place is usually packed and they often refuse to open the restaurant downstairs creating a big queue and increasing waiting time for customers... Cooks work very hard. The place needs to be cleaner also especially the stair case. I recommend this place... flavours are amazing.
Best Thai food, literally. Have been to so many but this is my all time favourite. Their soups are divine. Their accompanying chilli sauce is the best I've ever tasted. Overall one of my top to go places. It's always so busy you just know that the food is absolutely fresh.
Their food is just beautiful! I seriously would give them a 5 but due to their seating environment I can’t. I’m sorry to say but the restaurant just looks awful. The seats and table are greasy and the place can get very cramped and they sometimes do not let you sit downstairs, even if it has 2/3 people sitting already.
My favourite take away when I was in London! Such yummy food, very quick to order and a lot of variety of Thai food. Wanna go back there and order! Price quite reasonable too!!
Ideal place for the Thai food and also cheap place in kilburn .I ordered Thai pad there which I really enjoyed it .it's one of favorite of my friend John which brings me to this cafe.ambiance is good and staff service is ok.
Ideal place for a cheap eat in Kilburn. Great food and BYO. I ate the Pad Thai which was as good as some I have had in Thailand. Would definitely recommend for something casual in the area.
Great Thai food and inexpensive too. If you want delivery be prepared to keep calling them for 30 mins. So many times I have tried and not got through and they must loose a hell of a lot of money through deliveries. Would have been 5 star otherwise.
We all agreed the food was ten out of ten. Then, we returned a few days later...Has to be one of the best joints i've ever eaten in. Ordered the Chicken Satay, Thai Red Curry, Garlic Chicken..It was fantastic
Loving this local Thai eatery/take away. Everything is delicious, huge portions and so cheap. All mains £5.50-6. Don't expect nice decor or amazing service, it's just for a quick bite; when food is this good, who cares. :)
Yum yum yum....
Their chicken spicy basil fried rice is out of the world..
I also like the Thai prawn green curry 👌👌👌
Prices are pretty reasonable and we are was take a takeaway
I dont think i need to write more review since this restaurant is famous and high-rated already
But i just had to cause Spicy Basil serves the best tasting and price thai food ever! I tried the pad thai, fried noodles, tom yum, and fried rice. My favorite was the king prawn pad thai and tom yum. During my 5-days visit to London, i came here 3 times (for it is yummy, cheap, and halal)
Worth every single pennies!
Food is excellent, been here many times and have tried almost everything on the menu. My best dish is Pad Thai. There prawn spring role is good too.
This place is very good for muslim families it as it is halal. The pricing is very reasonable for the taste of the food. Quick service and good menu choices. It is halal food. Some people may think it is not halal it is halal. I dont believe people. Believe yourself and God
Food is really good, prices are low and portions more than enough. Maybe the local does not look outstanding but it's fine. I can honestly reccomend the place for Asian food lovers.
Compact restaurant fit indoors
Always taken away as I know how popular this place is!
Food is so good- authentic Thai, good portions and not expensive at all for the quality of food you get.
I usually go for the dry curry paste chicken and chilli basil mince chicken.
Quick and good service for the amount of people in there at any given time
one particular staff member seems a little off with his mood every time I've been there; understandable due to the overcrowd and lack of space to move around.
But when seen as a casual place with humble food, it fits! Could definitely be classified as one of the small gems within London.
Amazing food although I got the wrong order it was very nice to try something new I would highly recommend spicy basil as a nice quick bite anytime of the week
Good takeaway. Ordered the spicy beef salad and chicken pad thai. The salad was indeed spicy and the meat was cooked right. The pad Thai was above average with succulent chicken. Relatively inexpensive with large portions.

Finally got around to visiting Spicy Basil in Kilburn. It’s been on my list for a long time as I’ve heard that’s it’s one of the top Thai places in London.
So of all, this place is not fancy.. It’s very basic and no frills. There are 2 floors, the top floor is very cafe like, small and tight with loads of people. However, there is a downstairs which is a recent addition, this area is a little more spacious and is where I ate. When I entered on a Sunday night the place was packed and buzzing. Lucky, we where shown a table without waiting.
Spicy Basil focuses on providing their customers with good quality food at a very good price. Every main is £5.50 and the curries comes with rice, so no need for those extra side orders. The red curry I had was thick, spicy and full of flavour, I really enjoyed this dish. The starters we had, especially the chicken Satay was brilliant and is now my favourite around.
Where the food and value excel, the service and overall ambience is very underwhelming. It’s all about quick turn around here, in and out no fuss. Expect you ask for cutlery or chase menus when you sit and food coming at different times. There was around a 7mins wait between the mains combining which meant I was waiting around while my friend and his wife where eating away.
So a visit to spicy Basil is definitely recommend, as the food was very good. As long as you sit downstairs and are with good company you will have a good time.
one of the best place to have a quick meal, its affordable the food is so tasty and the quality is good. visit when you get the chance its so worth it
Hands down the best Thai place in London. The food is affordable and absolutely delicious, truly worth a visit.
I've gone there two times in under the course of two weeks.
The first time, I got their Chicken and Prawn dumplings and their Spicy Red Curry with Chicken. The second time I got their Soy Noodles with Egg and Beef. Nothing failed to disappoint me.
The portions were large and truly worth your money. The food is all made fresh to order and it's hearty and wholesome.
The dumplings are my favorite thing there. I am a huge dumpling fan and these are done absolutely right. They have the right amount of soy sauce on them and the flavors are balanced.
Both the curry and the noodles were so good it's hard to decide which one I liked more.
Overall, I'd recommend everyone to visit as there's no point in me further talking about this place as it will be a continuous repetition of the words "good" and "delicious".
One of the best Chinese places in london. Hidden gem which such delicious food. Serves halal food and is cheap. Accepts only cash and is a very small place but the food is par excellence.
Recommendation - Thai red curry chicken with rice, chicken cashew nuts with rice.
Fantastic Pad Thai. Just like Bangkok. And a great big serve of it. Eaten here dozens of times and just can't go past the pad! Fantastic value.
Really nice food, the restaurant is very crowded and service isn't great. Had the pad Thai and chicken with cashew nuts , both were very nivmce with a nice mc of veggies and meat
Not pretentious, great food, fresh ingredients
Spicy Basil deserves 100%!!!!!. I cannot believe this place does not have 100%!!!!!!!
The food is fresh, cooked for you as you order.
The portions are perfect & generous.
The prices are the best.
This is the BEST and most authentic far eastern food I have ever had in the UK (and I lived in China for 18 months).
I LOVE SPICY BASIL & ALWAYS GO THERE WHEN IN THE AREA - 5 minutes walk from the Tricycle Theatre. In fact it was recommended to me by an actor working at the Tricycle.
My favourite local. One of those lovely London finds- generous portions of super fresh thai cuisine, consistently tasty. Looks like a cafeteria which I guess keeps the prices down, and I'm happy to sacrifice mood lighting if it saves a few pennies. The staff are well-meaning and polite, though some times there is a little lost in translation. The seating is quite tight, but it's really worth it, and it's become part of its charm. I highly recommend the chilli/basil noodles with prawn.
Very cheap, very quick. Tasty food too, which is obviously prepared to a price, but for decent fast Thai food you can't go wrong. You may end up sharing your table with a stranger but that's all part of the fun. Ideal for a quick bite before going to the Tricycle Theatre or Good Ship.
Good but not amazing. I really liked the chicken pad thai. Super cheap. Portions were generous. But don't expect the service to be the most fantastic you've ever received. I've found their curries to be good but nothing special. If I lived closer then I would probably frequent more often. But the closest tube station is still a decent walk. Expect to eat next to a complete stranger. Price per value is excellent. I would recommend and will probably go again. If you're close then great delivery option for when you don't want to cook. But this still isn't something to write home about.
Queues into the street. Expect to share a table with a total stranger. A gem of a place. If they took over the shop next door it would probably fill up to.
Watch out for the Chilli Oil, it can cause damage.
Quick, cheap and authentic. Since moving into the area, I have passed this restaurant many times and not paid much attention - the logo / fronting leaves a bit to be desired. However, when walking passed it the other day me and my mate noticed it was rammed, so thought we'd give it a go.
Canteen-esque, the style is very much duck in duck out. We were seated straight away, and tables are offered for sharing with other customers. Starters are around the £4 mark, mains about £5. Soft drinks only available, with a pot of Green Tea is £1 per person.
Food comes quickly as soon as it is prepared, large portions and really good quality.
I would not recommend this for romantic meals, or if you are wanting a relaxed evening-long meal experience, but this is absolutely perfect for when you want something delicious, quick and reasonable.
Tasty!. Great prices and great food! Great curry dishes but would stay way from the spring rolls..not so good.
Excellent and authentic. Best cheap thai eatery in London. Can be a bit on the spicy side if you can't take the heat.
Great value, nice food.. Was quite happy to find this local restaurant. Food was quite nice, not outstanding but good, especially when you get a main course under £5.
It has a bit of a rushed feeling, not the ideal place for a quiet and relaxed meal.
It has an open kitchen, which means you get to see everything done in front of you, but you also get all the fumes!
they do take away and local delivery, which is something I will be trying next.
Always a very friendly atmosphere! Fresh food cooked in front of you. It's not expensive, it tastes amazing. They will always be accomadating to your needs as well. Best dishes- Green curry, Pad Thai, tofu vegetables and cashew nuts. Best Thai in London.
Spicy Basil is one of my personal local favourites given it's price, reliability and endearing Thai custom.
A good few years ago now, the food trend du jour was for Thai food in pubs. Don't ask me why, I wasn't involved, though I do remember it involving pre-prepared easy dishes and just enough fried stuff to make sense alongside a couple of pints.
My best experience in London so far, we had just returned from a short trip to wales in a self catering cottage so I was famished. Every bite was delicious and the meal was surprisingly good to the pocket. ....true value for money

I had a Beef Pad Thai and it was really tasteful. It seems quite authentic and with a really honest price. I will defiantly return to taste other main courses.
I can't help but order Spicy Basil once every 1-2 weeks. It is the only place that comes close to my favourite Thai Restaurant back in Australia(and in Australia we have some great asian food places due to being so close to Asia). I can't recommend the Green, Yellow or Creamy Red curries enough! And the Pad Thai is great and the best thing is this place charges about 5 pound a meal which is so cheap compared to everything else around here.
I used to be a regular at this place when I was a local but still love coming here for it's awesome food. This place offers food high on quality and is pretty reasonable as well. Though the ambience is just okay but still it is a lovely experience to be here mainly because of the food.
If you want to have good Thai food at home, then this place is the best option to order from. This places offers great quality food which is absolutely delicious and is available at quite decent prices which makes the whole deal all the more attractive. Even though this place is quite busy, when you actually get to taste the food it is all worth it.
The ambience was quite good with a very amiable atmosphere. The food was perfectly prepared and it was delicious. The staff was quite friendly and obliged to all our needs. I had Pad Thai and Green Curry which were fantastic. I really enjoyed my meal and would be returning to this place soon again.
This place serves some dishes good, and some just average. I really liked their chicken pad Thai. Portions are quite huge for two. Their curries have always been super yummy as well. This place also has an option for home delivery. You can give it a try if you are not in a mood to cook but certainly do not expect something great.
This is a little local Thai eatery I love to visit. The place is not sophisticated and the food is made quickly and serves quickly. The place smells of spices and always makes my hungry. If you are looking for some Thai food on the go,this is the place to visit.
This place was initially serving in pubs. The place used to be a Thai cuisine oriented. It used to serve pre cooked simple dishes and some fried food selections as sides along with pints. Now, a stand alone the place has evolved. I would definitely recommend as this place offers simple but good options!
One of the places that are consistent in their flavors and cooking! One of the good finds which serves immensely fresh and delicious thai cuisine. The prices are reasonable for it is a cafeteria. The staff is polite, well mannered, welcoming and attentive, though a little lost sometimes. Seating is compact but charming! Highly recommend chilli basil noodles with prawns!
The food here is excellent and a good bet. The portions are huge and filling as well. It is made to your order and does not take more than 5 minutes to reach one's table. The atmosphere is more like a cafe as opposed to a restaurant. It is done up in bright colors and lights. One can bring their own wine if they pay some extra money, an innovative concept.
The food that they guys will give you is tremendous , it is very tasty and full of flavors.
The portions are also very big and filling as well.
The best part is the money you guys will be spending will make you smile.
I had spicy basil and it was very amazing.
This place is a must go no matter whether you are hungry or not.
This place serves some great Thai and Chinese food. One can be sure of fresh and good quality ingredients being used in their dishes. The service here is great and very quick. The staff is very efficient and the food is rather delicious. The best bit is that is it very reasonably priced.
This is one place that offers a very good value for your money. The food served here is delicious, and the proportions are reasonably large. The service is also efficient and attentive, although the place is usually quite busy, so sometimes one may have to wait to get seated. But, the food is very decent and healthy, and I prefer it over the fast-food chains that are so prevelant.
I did not like Thai . Did you guys notice that i used past tense here , that is because the moment I had Thai here I was in love with the Thai food .
The portions are very huge and the quality of the food ( according to me is very good)
The best part is that all of this comes very cheap.
I will be coming here again and again.
This place is very well known for its amazing food and excellent value for money. The service is not as efficient as you would like it to be and the decor is not very interesting. The place can also be quite crowded and noisy but the affordable, delicious food make it a place to visit. Do not go here for quiet dinners or if you expect personalized service though.
The place is great value for money as the meals are quite cheap and delicious at the same time. The Pad Thai here is amazing and I've come back here several times for it. If you go here, try their fresh fruit juices, the a fantastic. The wait to get a table is also worth it.
This is one of my favourite restaurants and it may be very difficult to find a table because of its popularity. The portions on offer are very large and the prices are also fairly competitive. This place also serves some really delicious fried rice. You must try this place sometime.
This is one place you cannot miss in this area. It personifies simplicity with its layout. The decor is not much but the food is absolutely delightful! You will find an open kitchen and all the food is cooked right in front of you with fresh ingredients. The portions are generous and plentiful. Everything is priced very reasonably and the staff is quite prompt along with being very friendly. Everyone I have introduced to this place loves it. Definitely worth a visit.
If you can share a table then you must visit this place. The food is superbly tasty and gives you great value of the money that you have been spending.
The staff is also pretty good and I am going to be their regular customer for sure.
I recommend this place to everyone.
Keep on the good work guys :)
This place offers great selection of food, at very low prices and such a delighting ensemble of flavours. Has a canteen sort of arena and ios immensely crowded. Everyone eats fast and leaves. Be open to share a table if required. The food is worth it, A great thai cuisine including brilliant starters, curries and noodles !
I have always loves this place and it is one of my most favorite places for a scrumptious dinner. The waiting time to get a table inside is always quite long but we got a table within ten to fifteen minutes. For starters, we ordered dim sums which were delectable. For mains, we went for Chicken Pad Thai and pork rice. All the dishes were consistently good and very delicious. Every other dish was giving a huge competition to the previous one. Service was prompt as well. Highly recommended!
This place is small eatery with not much seating space.With the crowd ,it might even become more difficult ,however if you want to avoid that, the takeaway option is available. The food in general is pretty great but a little too oily. In my opinion, the spicy Tom Yum soup is fantastic.
The service here is also pretty quick.
The place is usually full and bustling with people. The food here is great. All the dishes that I have tried here were extremely delicious and delightful. The service is also good with friendly staff. The place only lagged space as it is always full of people, but now this problem will also be sorted as they have opened an area downstairs also. I would definitely recommend this restaurant.
You will find this place packed at all times! This says quite a lot about the quality and the popularity of a tiny restaurant. I ordered chicken curry and spring rolls which were both tasty and came in very generous portions. The main meal was brought forth even before the starter! All dishes were very reasonably priced. The restaurant is not very spacious so you might have to share a table with another customer. Do try it once!
Considering my inclination towards Thai cuisine, i do not compromise on the quality and authenticity of delicacies in this cuisine. Having high standards in this context, this place did not disappoint! The pad thai and a chilli prawn dish were well cooked. Green and Red Thai is passable. I would recommend trying their coconut soup! A good place!
We always come to this place for their consistency in providing good food with fresh ingredients. Always love the crowd of this place as well. This is a good option for a quick bite if you are in the vicinity of this area. My most favorite dish from this place is the vegetable red curry with rice.
I've refrained from singing the praises of spicy basil for some time, its like that little gem you want to keep all for yourself but then what am I kidding... Word is out!
Their food never dissapoints, I would say that we have this once a week but it really is twice (we order 3 dishes so there is plenty of leftovers); chicken pad thai, creamy red curry beef, chicken green curry and a bag of spicy crackers for £16!!! Delivered. If you have chili intolerance then of course these dishes arent for you, im sure the more milder offerings are just as good (nb: theres green chili in the pad thai). Definitely recommend!
Great Thai food at affordable price! That's what you get when going for a meal to Spicy Basel. The place itself is tiny and simple in terms of decoration, don't expect something fancy...However, the good time starts as soon as the food is on the table!
I went with some friends and we shared the chicken and prawns dumplings to start and then I went for the Pad Thai, Thailand's national dish, also with king prawns. Both courses were delicious and apparently had the original flavour of the Thai kitchen (one of my friends' have recently been to Thailand).
This was Saturday evening so I guess that's why we have to wait a bit for the food. The room was completely full and some people queuing either to be seated or to collect take away orders. My tip: try to avoid busy hours/days.
Leaving the little delay aside, good service and highly recommended place to enjoy proper Thai food for less than £10 per head. Will definitely go again!!

The decor is very basic, so it's not a place to come for fine dining, but it'll suit you perfectly if you're just hungry and want somewhere satisfying to eat at! Service is fast and friendly, staff behavior is good.
This is a gem of a restaurant on Kilburn High Street - unbeatable Thai food at an equally enticing price! The fact that this place is always full of people, local residents and otherwise is a true testament to the quality of the food offered here. The place is only small but sometimes the best things come in small packages as they say! Just be prepared to get a little cosy with some strangers...
The decor is very basic, so it's not a place to come for fine dining, but it'll suit you perfectly if you're just hungry and want somewhere satisfying to eat at! The food here is always fresh and delicious, with big portions to boot. They're particularly good at chicken dishes - I love the chicken pad thai noodles and the chicken/prawn dumplings.
Service is fast and friendly, and the staff will do their best to find you a place to sit even when it's super busy. A must try!
Authentic Home-cooked Thai Food! Must Try
This is a hidden gem for people hunting for Thai food.
I felt lucky to have been introduced to this restaurant. The experience was simply lovely.
Ambience of restaurant: Typical Thai restaurant. It is not a big restaurant, but it has a very simple and cosy thai home feel to it.
Must try dish: Chicken green curry (better eat with rice! Yum!), Thai style salad and fish in sweet sauce (not sure of the name).
Personnel is really friendly, warm, hospitable and happy.
I would definitely go back to Spicy basil. Strongly recommend for people who love to try Thai food for an absolute reasonable price!

Best value in town, £5 for the best pad Thai money can buy, you have to check this place out, I swear by it!
![Zomato]( "Recensione")
I know Kilburn is not the most salubrious place in London and neither is it know as a culinary hot spot, but I had heard about Spicy Basil and had a lunchtime Thai food itch to scratch. So I decided to wander down from the yummy mummies and delicatessens in Queen’s Park to Kilburn High Street.
Spicy Basil matches its surroundings being basic with the distinct look of converted fish and chip shop, the hand written sign on the door saying 'cash only' did make me wonder if there was a car with the engine running round the back. Inside it was busy and bustling with people waiting to sit and happy waiting staff rushing about. The waiters sit you down wherever possible, so you could find yourself sharing a table with strangers. We were sat at the end of a table which was comfortable enough.
The smell of the food hits you the second you walk in and this is a good thing. It really reminded me of those little basic cafes in Thailand were it doesn’t look like much but the food is always a treat. I was getting a bit of menu envy looking around at other peoples plates so it took me a while to pick the beef stir fried with garlic, chilli and basil. The fact my partner ordered a veggie red curry helped me with my choice as I really wanted to try their curry sauce.
We also ordered some veggie spring rolls and I asked for chicken satay. Unfortunately although it’s on the menu we were told the satay is only available in the evenings and not at lunch. I was a bit miffed at this as it’s a dish they are well known for.
The obviously homemade spring rolls had an authentic flavour and with a touch of the chilli oil (placed randomly across the tables) they were wonderfully tasty and got my mouth watering for the main course
My partner’s veggie red curry turned up first and she gave a nod of approval as she tasted her first mouthful, I quickly popped my spoon into the bowl and took a taste. Just wow. The rich sauce had a beautiful balance of flavours and a good hit of heat just like you get in those Thai places I mentioned earlier. For me there is nothing worse than getting Thai food that wimps out on the chilli, I mean if it doesn’t get your nose running by the end of the bowl something really isn’t right.
The beef stir fried arrived and I tucked in. The perfectly cooked steaming hot chunks of beef were nestled in amongst plenty of veggies including carrot, aubergine (egg plant) and mushroom. As I work my way through I got bursts of holy basil in some mouthfuls, but the chilli was definitely there. It was a builder too, getting hotter as I ate but never becoming overbearing or taking over the other flavours...perfect.
You get a generous portion of plain steamed rice with every meal too, which made for a delicious and bargainous lunch. Our mains were just £5 each, that’s right a fiver.
Spicy Basil may not be flash, pretentious with stunning surroundings. They don’t even offer delicate and elegant presentation. But what they do give you is authentic, tasty real Thai food in a friendly, buzzy atmosphere. Oh yes remember it’s amazing value too.
Kilburn might not be your first port of call when looking for restaurants, but if you’re a Thai food fan maybe it’s time for you to think again.
Excellent quality, amazing value. You can't go wrong with the king prawn pad thai and green chicken curry. One of our fave takeaways and total cost for two always under £20. Bargain!
This place had been recommended to me a number of times by a few friends and at first glance I wasn't sure why; the restaurant's decor certainly wasn't something to rave about (despite getting a recent refurbishment) and the place was extremely crowded with quite a limited number of seats.
But alas, I didn't let my pedantry stop me from tasting the food and thank goodness that I didn't because the food was brilliant. It may be a little on the oily side for some, but given that this is Thai cuisine that shouldn't come as much of a surprise. The bill came to a little over £10 per head over ordering our starters, mains, desserts and drinks which isn't too bad.
The service was great and everything was served relatively quickly considering the amount of people in the place. All the meat is halal and there are also a number vegetarian choices on the menu, so I would definitely recommend this place to anyone wanting a decent night out for an affordable price.
Great value for money,the food is always made fresh,not pre cooked as in a lot of places,staff always very helpfull,relatively fast service ,must try
The most amazing Thai food you can get. Great value, excellent service and very delicious. I wish they had more restaurants.
One of the best restaurant but they don't do home delivery to nw10 piss me offff
I love spicy basil loads.
Food is fantastic and service is amazing. Can't get any cheaper food in London like spicy basil...It's 5 stars from me. ;)
Red and Green curry are great. Also their pad thai is very good
Serves amazing fresh Thai food - particularly enjoyed the Green curry. Would definitely recommend to anyone keen on trying Thai cuisine...Ps the meat is halal which is a bonus
Awesome Thai Food.
Went there yesterday. The spring rolls and Green curry was great.
Ordered a mix fruit juice which had a great flavour.
Also the starter veg soup was delicious.
Definately one of the best Thai food that I have eaten
Would definately go there again...
Loved the food!!!!
nice place, good ambience definately should be there
This is a little Thai place on Kilburn High Road. I've heard a lot about it, and I must say I was slightly taken aback; from the manic recommendations I've had this quite dingly little place wasn't quite what I was expecting.
But I'm always about the food anyway. Cheap and cheerful is the catchphrase here, with our total bill hitting seven pounds per head for a slight over ordering of starters, soups and mains. Food was good enough, but nothing to go out of your way for; I went for the spicy basil prawn and struggled to finish it off. Service was good too and we didn't have to wait too long considering it was a Friday night.
The meat is halal, so Spicy Basil is well worth checking out if you happen to be passing by in need of a quick meal.
Spicy Basil is more of a takeaway or quick eat in type place. Definitely not a place to go if you want nice decor or comfort. However, the food is very fresh and is quite good. One thing I loved about it was that they sell Thai Iced Tea which I first tried in Thailand and couldn't find anywhere else in London that I've been. In terms of food, I recommend trying their Pad Thai. Their spring rolls are okay but most people generally like them.
Spicy Basil is an amazing Thai Restaurant.. It is located in Kilburn High Road, Kilburn,
You can get there by Kilburn or Kilburn Park.. Many people go there for takeaway as it is quite affordable. According to me The Spring Rolls, Pad Thai Noodles and The Creamy Red Curry with Steamed Rice the things that are to die for. Too good !!
For two people it would cost around twenty-twenty five pounds. It should include desserts as well.. Four Stars from me :D
Tasty Thai food. Pad Thai and spicy garlic beef were very tasty and semi filling. Would appreciate a larger portion. The menu is huge but mostly repetitive. Staff are fast, nice and welcoming.
The most best Thai food in London. Honestly the flavours and portion sizes are perfect, everything is made super fresh.
This is one of those hidden gem restaurants you and your friends will always want to come back to. Kind staff and plenty of seating, can get busy but is definitely worth the wait.
A delightful find for Thai food lovers. This cash-only, halal restaurant offers authentic flavours and a cozy ambiance. While the customer service can be improved, once seated, the efficient staff ensures quick service. Keep in mind that it gets busy and spaces are very limited, but the wait is worth it for the tasty dishes served promptly.
AMAZING! CASH ONLY. Food was the best Thai I’ve ever had. Spring rolls (veggie), chicken + prawn dumplings, green curry chicken, chicken pad Thai were all so great. I’d especially recommend the green curry. The staff members were so kind and very attentive. The food came out incredibly fast and everything was hot and delicious. Casual, family environment with many choices so everyone can find something to eat. Come here if you are in the area and in the mood for a great meal.
Went with two members of my Beloved family, everything we ordered was gorgeous, decent portions. Cosy atmosphere, friendly staff. Had a takeaway from there a few weeks ago, whilst in the area, equally satisfied. Been going there on & off for nearly 18 years, when ever I'm in the area, it's my first choice.
We decided to try out this place as I've been hearing about it for ages. As it was a weekend it was super busy and we had to wait like 15 mins for a table but it was deffo worth it cos the food was amazing. We got the chicken and prawn dumplings, prawns spring rolls and golden bags for starters. Absolutely loved all of it 🤤🤤🤤 I got the spicy beef noodles for mains and my husband got the creamy Thai red curry 😍😍😍😍 and the chicken fried rice. We loved the food so much! The portion size was good so we ended up taking away half of it cos we were full (the takeaway containers were 30p each).
I order the spicy beef noodles and it tastes divine each and every time! Ate it just before I went into Labour. My absolute favourite, highly recommend
Not sure why this restaurant slowly slides down the Google review ratings. It has always been good for years. Best Thai scran in North West London surely and at very good value. It does not the largest dining area and can be a bit greasy when sat indoors with the close proximity of the kitchen. Spicy Basil still delivers very tasty Thai food without the high prices.

Spicy Basil is a great halal restaurant that serves delicious Thai cuisine.
We tried several dishes including the fried rice, oyster beef with rice, beef Thai red curry, and pad thai. While the fried rice was plain and not very good, the oyster beef with rice was pretty good. The standout dish, however, was the beef Thai red curry which was creamy and tasted amazing. The pad thai was also pretty good with different textures and we ordered the chicken version. Overall, we would definitely go back for the curry and pad thai.
Only problem is that if you dine-in, it is very small and packed.
Everything is reasonably priced and the cuisine is of high quality. This explains why it is always quite busy.
Thai fish cakes, dumplings, Pad Thai, and chicken green curry were among the dishes I had. All of the dishes were delicious, had fantastic flavour, and were visually appealing! I will surely return.
