Thai Basil never fails to impress! The flavors are authentic, perfectly balanced, and full of freshness. Every dish feels thoughtfully prepared, and the service is just as wonderful—friendly, attentive, and welcoming. It’s the kind of place that makes you want to come back again and again
Absolutely excellent. Little hidden gem of a place. Recommended and didn't disappoint. Service was perfect, and the team was pleasant, funny, smiled and really loved the job. We will definitely return here.
We really enjoyed our experience here, nice to find some good Thai food here in Skipton. The decor is amazing, kind of a maximalist jungle of color and foliage with lots of orchids and animals, very fun. The place is clearly a local favorite, I'd recommend you give it a try if you're looking for something Asian, fresh and flavorful. As diners with a lot of experience with Thai cuisine, we were somewhat less than fully impressed with the food. A bit too sweet, not enough fish sauce, seemed a bit toned-down to our palate. When the food came, we got loads of tasty vegetables: tried the full vegetable starter, standouts were the corn fritters and the deep-fried veggies. The Yum Pak salad was fresh and tasty. With that we had the Tom Kha Gai soup, very nice, with lots of aromatics, although a touch more fish sauce would have helped bring the flavor up. I'd certainly recommend this restaurant, it's one of the best places we've eaten in Skipton, and the kitschy decor has to be experienced! Service was excellent, very attentive and pleasant to interact with.
Been here many times, food has always been good. Great menu, very attentive staff. Decor is a bit wild but great place strongly reccommend as one of the best restaurants in skipton
Such an amazing place - staff is lovely and the food is so good! I enjoyed it so much I ordered the same meal two days in a row 😂 items on a menu are labelled vegetarian but they do cater to vegans and have made me comfortable that the kitchen understands what that means, which unfortunately is not always the case. Will definitely be back next time I'm in Skipton ❤️.
