Thai Basel in Bristol, City of

Set lunch meal with 2 courses served between 12 and 2. The food was lovely and great value BUT we felt very rushed and pushed to leave at,/before 2 o'clock. We arrived 1.25 ish. Not a very relaxed time to talk with friends.

Had a meal on 10th November, 7 of us in the group and it was amazing, even came out with a birthday cake which was a surprise, friendly staff and great food !

We had an amazing meal. The quality in the past has been variable with different owners but whatever was going on before this Thai restaurant is excellent now. We shared chicken satay and pork ribs to start, the satay sauce was subtle but still nice. We had various Panang curries for mains (chicken, prawn and vegetable) and coconut rice. It was all top class - great portions and really tasty. The coconut rice was the best I’ve had. My veg parang with packed with a huge variety of veg which was excellent. The ladies serving us were great and the whole meal was really enjoyable.

Recently had a take away from Thai Basil with friends and we were all very pleased with the quality of our take away. My partner has a nut allergy and the care taken in the questioning over her allergies and the oils they have cooked the food in impressed me and gave us a lot of confidence in what we were getting. Our friends from Hong Kong (now living in Bristol) visited us and we decided to take them to the Thai for lunch on Saturday. The food was again first class and our friends, who have travelled a lot in Thailand and Vietnam as well as having been Hong Kong residents said the food was genuinely authentic and could even tell us the oils that their meals had been cooked in. they said they had not found a restaurant in Bristol, up until now, doing Asian food that impressed them but would happily return here.

Had a family meal for 9 people last night, spacious layout, service was swift and friendly and food was absolutely delicious ! would highly recommend, they even gave my son a small bottle of prosecco when we were leaving as it was his birthday

Delicious lunch at such a reasonable price. Great service too. Highly recommended. This restaurant has recently changed hands and they've decorated and opened up the garden space too. The atmosphere and the décor is so much better than previously. The food was delicious too.

Nueked fishcakes could have been nice but so over microwaved they were rubber eggs texture. 3 main course all over cooked microwaved rubbery chicken. Ketchup flavour in the sweet and spicy it was almost straight out of the ketchup bottle. Browned off oven chip chunks in the chicken satay. Cold rice was reheated in the microwave. I can't understand the good reviews on the food it's awful. Can only think that loyalty from the locals keeps the ratings up. Or other reviews are from people who've never eaten a decent Thai meal. Honestly this was a very poor Chinese take out nothing about the food said Thai standards.

We ordered a takeaway set menu for 2 @ £28 per head. I had to ring as the app was trying to charge for 3. The food was ready to be collected at the appointed time. The food was outstanding. There was only one container of rice which was surprising. There was sufficient of the other food. It is also very expensive, but you get what you pay for. The restaurant looked great and we will certainly use it again.

Visited here and its been refurbished a little. Food was great and service was very good. In Thornbury High Street and parking is easy in the local car park with a 5 min walk. A new menu from the old one sadly no Duck in Taramind which was one of my favs no longer on menu

Really really really good food, the new owners have turned it around. We travel over from Chepstow regularly and frankly if it was twice the distance we would still come.

Wow - so impressed with Thai Basil! We have never visited before and after all these years thought it would be a perfect opportunity with all the family together. The food was amazing, portion sizes were very generous and the atmosphere was fantastic. Highly recommend a visit to try the delicious food. Also, brilliant, attentive service so thank you. We will be returning!

Took my wife for a wonderful meal with friends to celebrate her birthday. The food we all had was excellent. Service was a little slow at times due to number of people in restaurant. But that was perfect for our group as it gave us time to talk and enjoy the food without being rushed

Went for a meal last night , we've been going to this restaurant for many years . We ordered a mixed starter for 2 people, it was half the size of the portion it used to be and at least a third more expensive, Tom yum soup was average and the Thai green curry was very dry and small . Its a shame they have lowered the food standards and upped the prices so much . Disappointed visit

Ate on a Saturday night when the restaurant was fairly busy. The food was very good, the service was very good and we paid a good price. I can’t really say more than that! Would happily go again.

We have been here many times over the years and the food has always been consistently good and, again, it didn't dissappoint. Food was good quality and tasty. Service was fast and attentive. The decor is in need of some investment and is looking a bit tatty. While the food has always been consistently good I won't ever be able to give 5 stars until they sort the gents toilets out which are quite frankly shameful.

I have just had a wonderful meal at the restaurant and will go back to eat there as soon as I can. The service was great and the access in my electric buggy was very easy.

Absalute rip off. Bad service, bad food, over priced. 14.50 for some soup that tasted like dish water. Got charged £3 for a dash of lime in the beer. This place used to be amazing but is now under new management. The waiting staff are...

Visited here again and had the Duck In Taramind, Penang Curry, Todkra -tiem Prik Thai Chicken and noodles all were lovely, the only thing I have noticed about the venue as that as it has lots of windows it can sometimes be a bit chilly....

Really good tasty Thai Food in generous portions and incredibly quick service. The upper part of the restaurant though does let it down in terms of the ambience. It feels more like a canteen than a restaurant. It’s really overdue for a face lift. Luckily...

We were finally able to try this restaurant. It is hidden away at the top of the High Street and it doesn't look the most inviting of places. We kept hearing good reviews of the food by local people. A visiting guest was all the...

Amazing food!!!! The best Thai I have ever had. Service is fantastic. Nothing is too much trouble. Highly recommend. The family and I are addicted

Had a takeaway this evening and found the food quite bland and greasy. My partner collected and said the gentleman serving him was polite and food was cooked quickly. However, the blandness of the flavours and the greasiness of the food has put me off....

Drove 10 miles for lunch here having been told by owner, who seemed annoyed we were even asking, open lunchtime - and it was closed. Sign in the door said closed Monday and Tuesday lunch times! They need to update their website.

Visited here with friends.We told the greeter at the door that 2 of the people wouldn't be coming this message wasn't passed on to the waitress so after half hour she came to us and asked if the other 2 were coming. When we said...

Easy to order a take away online. Quickly ready to collect. Vegetarian noodles and prawn seafood red style curry with rice. Tasty food, good size meals and not greasy. Thai prawn crackers a hit too.

A group social event at a local Gin Distillery led to this gathering of 13, for dinner at this restaurant on Thornbury High Street. We were, with another couple, the first arrivals, well-ahead of the others, and had first choice of seats at the large...

First visit since change of hands. Just as good as previously. Wider spacing between tables and a more open layout. Friendly staff and good service. The menu is a slightly shortened version of the previous lunchtime menu and is the usual excellent value. Food was...

This was hands down the best take out and Thai food I have ever eaten, I had the ribs followed by duck in a red curry paste and noodles. Absolutely superb . Just a shame I’m only in this area on a flying visit else...

Visited here since I heard it was takeaway only and their website is out of date as it doesn't indicate that the restaurant is open again. The food was great with the Panaeng Chicken being the favorite . The Thai Basil Duck was great also...

Ate here tonight and was fantastic. Food delicious as expected and service from the young lad first class. Recommend this place and will be going back. Best Thai in whole of north Bristol / south Gloucestershire area.

lovely food! great service, staff were very friendly and made us feel very welcome and at ease, would recommend

If you like THAI food don’t come here! My wife & her friend had Thai fish cakes. My wis a very handy cook, and these fish cakes, were awful. Not just awful, deep fried so they absorbed all the oil. I had Chicken Satay, with...

Now open lunchtimes 12 to 2pm, and is back to being a restaurant as well as a take away with new management since last year. They need to update their website because no one realises this.

The food is consistently good quality and tasty. We have eaten from here several times and it is always very tasty! I've only ordered takeaway from here but I've heard positive reviews about eating in. The owner is always very friendly and helpful which keeps...

First time trying here and won’t be the last! The food was amazing! Can’t wait for the restaurant to re open so I can sit in and enjoy a meal

Heard that the Thai had been taken over by another part of the family, not sure if this is true but the food was delicious even better than before maybe! Can’t wait to order again.

First food from Thai Basil and now we know the process we’ll be ordering again! They are open for takeaway only throughout lockdown. The phone doesn’t get answered because they are so busy (quite frustrating) so best to order in person if you want collection...

Everyone's favourite restaurant in Thornbury. Great food, great service and has been consistently great for years.

Had another great take away - great service from the happy staff. We have been going there with family and friends for years and have never had a bad meal. Very highly recommended.

Tasty lunches with friends. Excellent dinners with partners. Family parties welcomed and food is always tasty, service always cheerful. Take outs too!

Ordered a takeaway in the restaurant as staff did not answer the telephone when we we tried to place an order from home. What was supposed to be a 20 wait turned into a 40 minute wait. The restaurant was not busy at the time...

This was the first time we have had Thai food and definitely won’t be the last. We had various curry, rice and noodle dishes and every one was delicious. Can’t wait to try again.

Really good range. Lovely food. Have visited many times over many years. Only reason not 5 rated - one takeaway had watery noodles and one member of staff is some times a little stressed. Will visit again next time I'm in the area.

As always- fantastic. Takeaway due to restrictions. Friendly as always, prompt, hot, delicious and well priced.

Ordered large order via lockdown take away. Went to collect at allotted time and was told no record of order so returned home. We then phoned back to confirm order (now 30 mins past pick up) to be told rudely that our order was there...

Ordered a takeaway last night as a Monday evening lockdown treat and a treat it was! All of the sharing platter was delicious and both of our curries were amazing. The yellow curry is particularly nice if you prefer milder tastes. Thank you for still...

Amazing Thai food, good gluten free options. Decor was lovely and staff were very friendly and couldn’t do enough for you. Quick service.

Lovely dishes, well thought out menu. Friendly staff and great value for money. Only gripe was desserts wasn’t the best.

Use to live and work in Thornbury and went for dinner at this restaurant a few times, this time was visiting some friends as don't live there anymore. Was looking forward to it as had good experiences before but this time had a terrible experience....

Had a family meal last night. Friendly and helpful waitress. Food was excellent- tasty and well presented. A couple of us struggle with spicy food but were steered towards great options. Good sized portions and reasonable prices. A very professional restaurant which has kept high...

Visited here for the first time as we love Thai food, we did not know that this venue had been in Thornbury for 19 years, so its taken us a while to find it. I must say we were very impressed with the Decor, Service...

32 of us from work had the lunchtime special here, we pre-ordered. The staff were efficient, friendly and welcoming throughout. I had the chicken and coconut milk soup and the beef massaman curry, both were absolutely delicious and generous portions at 2 courses for £9.99....

I have nothing to add about the food - it is a joy to find such a place in Thornbury where pretension is generally the order of the day. My one cavil is that one is hurried along - some plates cleared before all have...

We stayed at a hotel near this place for work and thought we would give this restaurant a try. So glad we did, the food was absolutely gorgeous and staff were so pleasant. Honestly, I think it’s the best Thai food I’ve had for years....

Been going to this restaurant regularly for ten years now and I can honestly say that I have never had a bad meal. Always top class and the service is impeccable.

We tried to eat in the restaurant on a Saturday night but they were fully booked so I’d recommend making a reservation! The staff were super nice and offered us the option to get a takeaway instead. Considering they were full, it took 40 minutes...

A really lovely restaurant, the atmosphere and decor is spot on. The staff are some of the friendliest and helpful that we have had the pleasure to meet. The food is very authentic Thai with the sauces being a lot lighter than the typical Chinese...

Kind staff but not many of them. Waited a little longer than we’d of liked to place our order and for our food but it was worth the wait. Lovely fresh food, very tasty. Only criticism was that two of us ordered coconut rice, so...

the food was quite authentic but in the UK the spices and ingredients can never match the real thing ...but good effort. The green curry was tasty and had a kick and the pad Thai was really good.

Got a take away from the Thai Basil for the second time. There is lots of vegetarian choice and the food is really nice - not amazing, but still lovely. This is a great choice for a local take away. The vegetarian pad Thai was...

Time after time we visit the Thai Basil in Thornbury and it has never disappointed us. To say the food is delicious is an understatement. Fresh ingredients blended with herbs and spices make it a marriage made in heaven. My first course Yom kha Gai...

We have dined in and had takeaways on many occasions over the years and the food has always been of a high standard, very flavoursome. The staff are always friendly too. We would highly recomend.

Haven’t been to the Thai Basil for several years. We were seated promptly but it took ages for the waiter to take our order and even longer for it to arrive at the table! The quality of the food was excellent and the drinks were...

I can not knock the food here, it’s great but beware if you visit at lunchtime, they want everyone out of the restaurant by 2pm sharp! I am a regular customer both in the evening and lunch and was shocked that there was a hesitation...

I went there as part of a luncheon group and I was very impressed with the service and food. I'll certainly be back again soon.

Visited with friends for a surprise birthday meal with 10 others recently...loved it! The food is just fab and worth a visit for anyone who loves asian cuisine, highly recommend this gastronomic heaven.

Good service and great food. Always accommodating with dietary requirements, can’t fault the food or the fabulous service.

First visit to this Thai restaurant and wasn’t disappointed. From the moment we entered to when we left we enjoyed first class service. The food was really excellent so I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who enjoys Thai food..

Visited here whilst travelling and although very quiet enjoyed an excellent Thai green curry which was full of flavour and very satisfying.

We've visited Thai Basil a few times since first discovering it about 5 years. It's always provided excellent Thai food at a reasonable price with very friendly relaxed service. Our latest visit was last night with friends and it was probably the best ever. The...

We were visiting friends in Thornbury so being a new area I found the Basil (Tai Restarant) through recommendations on Trip Advisor. The service and food was excellent in fact we couldn’t finish all the food. Wanting to sample something different we all shared the...

As one who must regularly lunch in Thornbury I can only say what a pleasant experience it it to eat delicious, freshly cooked food at a reasonable price at Thai Basil compared to the amateurish (and sometimes costly) attempts at some of the other places.

A great location, very nice restaurant. The food is good and authentic, which is a must for Thai food. The service was very good. Will definitely visit again and a real plus that they also do takeaway.

I have been here a number of times over the years with my partner and with family and friends and every time it has been fantastic. The service is always excellent and the food is delicious Thai cuisine. The restaurant is very modestly designed with...

We visited Thai Basil with our elderley wheelchair borne Mother who had never eaten Thai food before. She was favourably impressed and has said she would like to go again - so a definitely a success. Portions are large so don't over order. Certainly worth...

Booked a table for 8 of us and we were not disappointed. Customer service, food and restaurant atmosphere was great. Have been going to the restaurant for nearly 20 years and never disappoints. The only improvement points I would mention is the decor could do...

Have had three takeaways in quick succession since finding this place.. food is high quality, authentic and delicious - I'm hooked! Best takeaway in Thornbury by a country mile. The interior is enticing and cosy - look forward to trying an eating-in experience here soon!

Excellent meal with good service. Tasted fresh with good portions, very friendly A little old-fashioned and dark, but this didn’t matter as food was good

The food never disappoints when I've eaten at lunchtime. The takeaway we all had tonight was equally as nice and the portion sizes were perfect.

Una mesa reservada para mi fiesta de cumpleaños. Menú genial pero difícil elegir, así que decidimos tomar uno de los menús. Deliciosa selección de entrantes, pato crujiente con panqueques y próxima seguido de tres platos principales con arroz y finalmente ensalada de frutas. Todo el mundo lleno cuando nos fuimos. !

This was our first visit here and was very impressed with the food and the service. They have good choice of drinks, the tom yum soup is amazing. Would definitely recommend and will go back.

Good place to be with friends, quiet enough for couples. Lovely atmosphere, great food and good service. Recommended.

Comimos desde aquí al menos una vez una quincena.Tienen razonablemente razonable, deliciosa, auténtica comida tailandesa, todo servido por personal entusiasta.Sólo han conseguido comer en un par de veces debido a problemas con el servicio de niñera. Por dentro está muy bien decorado con tallas de madera original tailandés, tapices y cerámica.El mejor lugar para comer fuera en Thornbury por lejos!

I've now been three times with my family to this superb restaraunt...and had a takeaway. The food is just fantastic, the service top notch and the prices very reasonable! Highly recommended!

Hemos estado aquí dos veces y en ambas ocasiones la comida era increíble! Es la mejor comida que he probado (y soy un amante de la comida tailandesa), y es todo muy bien presentado. Todo el personal es muy amable y el servicio es fantástico. Todo muy razonable también!

Very friendly welcome main course choice exceptional, would recommend his Thai restaurant for superb flavours and wide choices.

Mi pareja y yo necesitábamos una cena rápida después del trabajo, así como en negocios y vimos en Thornbury este antes y decidimos que necesitábamos ir. El personal era encantador y atento del restaurante estaba muy limpio y ordenado. La comida era increíble mejor tailandés que hemos tenido en mucho tiempo la próxima vez estamos de vuelta aquí volveremos

Very tasty food and the quality of service is very professional and cultural. The menu has a variety of dishes to choose from

I have visited here many times when travelling to Bristol. The service is attentive and the food is good value for money at lunchtimes, it never varies in quality.

Celebrated my husbands birthday here last night with our family and as always the food and service was excellent. The staff were fantastic and nothing was too much trouble. Really can't recommend the Thai Basil enough - fabulous food, fabulous service!

El menú era muy completo y un montón de opciones vegetarianas para mi marido y para mí. La decoración era preciosa y tenemos una comida increíble. Lo mejor que me he comido en tailandés mientras... y este mucho en el centro de Londres. Esto podría competir con uno de los mejores restaurantes en el centro de Londres. Y era tan concurrida, así que es claramente un éxito con la gente!

We had a tasty meal here with friendly, efficient service. We chose a set menu, which was good quality and the portions were generous.

Eat here regularly, can never make my mind up what to eat as I like all of it. The staff are so very friendly and efficient, nothing is too much trouble.

No tengo ni idea de por qué el "Thai Basil' debe ser catalogado como No 5 en 'Thornbury, palabras, no debería ser 1... fácilmente! La única conclusión que puedo sacar de esta clasificación es que la comida tailandesa no apelar a la cena formal. Indudablemente, la comida es excepcional y los ingredientes utilizados son de la más alta calidad... El tempura de langostinos compiten con los que probé en Bangkok!!! Jason y Becky, (los propietarios), lo recibirá como amigos y dejar no sólo como amigos, sino como huéspedes de honor. Mientras tanto, Gilbert y el otro personal de espera, cuidar de todas sus necesidades con una sonrisa y eficiencia increíble. Reservar una mesa, no te arrepentirás... y es increíble la relación calidad-precio!!!

A menudo hemos cenado en Basil thai durante los últimos diez años o así. Es ideal para celebrar ocasiones especiales, ya que el servicio es excepcional. La comida es de excelente calidad y buena relación calidad-precio y siempre hemos tenido una comida increíble y el servicio en el restaurante. Los aperitivos mezclados son deliciosos. No dudaría en recomendar este fabuloso lugar para comer. Garantizado para ser buena.

Excellent food competitively priced with great service. Will be going back for sure. Easy and ample on street parking also car park nearby.

Paramos en el aquí por casualidad en un lunes por la noche.

La comida es excelente en el albahaca y Becki, Jason y todo su personal agradable y servicial, creando un ambiente cálido y acogedor. Destacar los puntos sobre la comida y el ambiente, mi madre que era Cantonesa y vivido en varias partes del Sudeste de Asia (así era muy exigente en su comida asiática) siempre me dijo que era su restaurante favorito y cuando mi hermana y yo fuimos allí para una cena poco después de su muerte Becki y Jason nos reconoció inmediatamente y nos trataron como invitados especiales. El restaurante es una visita obligada en nuestro itinerario cada vez que estamos en Thornbury.

Great service and staff. I had the red curry and rice that was pretty much perfect. My partner the stir fry and noodles. The noodles tasted a bit burnt tasting so not great for me. So next time we will stick to the rice.

Went here mid week with my son. Food was good, service was very attentive and pricing was acceptable. If you're looking for a Thai it's worth a trip.
