Little Basil in Allerdale

Always fantastic...fresh, friendly and amazing flavours.ive been coming here for nearly 20 yrs, best in Cockermouth.

Excellent food! So delicious and fresh. I'll be returning 100%. Been meaning to try it for some time and I wasn't disappointed.

Delicious Thai and Chinese take away. Food was spot on, would definitely repeat this experience. Didn't have to wait long either which was a treat!

Brilliant Thai takeaway full of flavour. I think it's the best around locally. Quick and friendly service.

Exceptional service, exceptional food and a fair price. The produce is always high in quality and the meals are CONSISTENTLY good. Always high in flavour and the portion sizes don’t disappoint. The salt and pepper chips with all the bits is highly recommended, you can’t drive home without pinching a few out the box! I have been loyal to Little Basil for 4 years and they deserve it, well done everyone! This is exactly the service and quality the people of Cockermouth deserve!

Tried this place twice during our week in Cockermouth, I thought the Chinese food ( beef with cashew, chicken in black bean sauce and salt and pepper chicken) were all excellent, my wife is Thai and she thought they must have Thai cook, highly recommended.

We have been customers for many years and the food has always been superb - really freshly cooked with great ingredients.

Ordered in advance, it was ready for collection on the dot with extremely safe, Covid friendly collection and payment arrangements in place. My food was piping hot, huge portion and really great quality. Highly recommended, will definitely be ordering regularly!!

Excellent customer service, the food was ready for collection exactly when they said it would be and it was piping hot and delicious.

Very reasonably priced food and delicious meal choices. This is a good choice of takeout when half of the family would like thai food and the other half would like chineese food. Very friendly service.

This has to be the worst Thai food I have ever tried we had Thai green curry that was like dish water with a film of oil on top ,with sticky rice that was solid ,needed a knife to cut through, Singapore prawn noodles that has a powder on which were completely inedible and rubbery prawns, salt and pepper chips just about edible, phut siew duck which was tasteless and the duck was Like chewing rubber find it very hard to believe other reviews were 5 star when our meals were virtually inedible, Maybe a different chef tonight but we will not be wasting money again

We really enjoyed the beef Thai green curry and sticky rice. The Thai dishes are prepared by the chef who is from Khon Khien, Thailand whilst the Chinese dishes are cooked by a cantonese chef. We also had the mixed meats Thai fried rice and requested a kai dow on top (fried egg). No problem. Reasonably priced and delicious. We will visit again next time we stay in Cockermouth.

Takeaway only, ingeniously using a counter across the doorway and bowls for cash to ensure covid safe ordering and collection. Interesting menu, good portions, plenty of flavour and lovely staff - excellent. Cash only - but they disinfect the change!

Uno de los mejores platos chinos para llevar de la ciudad. La comida es excelente y el tamaño de las porciones es razonable. Su gama de sal y chile es la mejor que he probado en Cumbria y no me refiero solo a la "sal y pimienta" a la que se extienden la mayoría de las comidas para llevar chinas, me refiero a la deliciosa sal, el ajo, el chile y la cebolla fina. Los horarios de recogida son puntuales y el servicio es educado y eficiente. Incluso durante la pandemia actual, el personal ha adaptado un sistema increíblemente higiénico que garantiza toda la confianza en la transacción. No es el más barato, pero vale la pena el dinero extra.

Not orders but food cooked very quickly, you can see right into the kitchen and was it being prepared. Spotlessly clean

Teníamos bolitas de pollo agridulce con arroz frito. El pollo era piezas muy pequeñas cubiertas de masa muy pálida. La masa era crujiente y sabrosa, pero no se parecía en nada a las bolitas de pollo en cualquier otro lugar en el que haya probado el mismo plato. La salsa también estaba muy pálida, casi sin color. Al principio me pregunté si era una salsa de limón pero era agridulce. Simplemente todos muy diferentes. El arroz de huevo frito era bueno.El servicio no fue excelente. Para empezar, hicieron el pedido equivocado e intentaron culparnos por el error.

we have always been to bamboo, but recently it has started going badly downhill. So we tried little basil just as a one off and now we are hooked. We wouldn't go anywhere else now. I get the sweet and sour chicken balls with fried rice. the batter on the chicken balls is so light and not at all greasy . the fried rice is light and fluffy its delicious. my partner gets the special chow mein which he loves. Always cooked to perfection and is always ready for when they say. The staff behind the counter are always polite and chatty, even when you can see they are busy. the salt and paper chips are to die for. Not the cheapest Chinese takeaway in town, but you get what you pay for. Happy paying a little bit more (Still less than bamboo prices) for a good quality meal. Highly recommend!

We ordered a take-away last week and I was actually shocked when I opened the bag at home. The main course tub was just over half way full, so empty, I checked to see if it had been open in the bag (it hadn't). I was further shocked that it had only 4-5 pieces of meat and was not really tasty.... a supermarket sauce would have been so much better...................... Never again! Even the service was impolite.

Ordered £40 worth of food for 2 adults 2 kids. Food was fresh but tiny portions of meat and no Flavour. Chicken balls had less meat than chicken nuggets - really disappointed as it was recommended - won’t return 👎🏼😩

We don't have a Thai takeaway near us so to have one available on a weekend break was an unexpected bonus. Firstly great food. Hot spicy but much more refined and delicate than I expected for a takeaway. Loved every dish. Restaurant standard but at half the cost.

Great food at great prices. Couldn't fault it. I would personally recommend the noodles that they do as they're delicious.

Comparado con la comida para llevar china en Cockermouth y las ciudades de los alrededores, este es de lejos el más sabroso, la comida más auténtica alrededor. Después de hablar con los chefs me pareció que utilizan localmente por todo su proveniencia de carne platos, lo cual hace que se destaque frente a la competencia. Personal educado que son informativos y saben mucho sobre los platos. A un precio razonable y porciones grandes. Sin duda lo recomiendo!

We like it because you don't get a gravy filled tray of food to take away with you. It can be very busy so worth either phoning in an order or leaving plenty of time if your hungry.

These are the best salt and pepper chips in town especially when ordered with onions. Reasonably priced, everything we have tried has been good and quick service too

Gran comida recién preparada. El personal es muy servicial y amable. Pide cambios y ellos estarán encantados de ayudarle. Soy vegetariano y te aburrirás de las mismas cosas antiguas, pero el chefs siempre dispuesto a sugerir una nueva interpretación de la receta tradicional. Nunca he tenido una mala comida! Altamente recomendado.

Recientemente trasladado a la zona han sido probar los restaurantes locales. Por desgracia, poco después de ser recomendado de albahaca, estaremos adherirse a nuestro favorito al otro lado de la calle, de bambú.

He estado pidiendo desde hace meses basil poco y siempre me encantó la comida, sin embargo, puse en orden a recoger. Pedí mi habitual "curry" vegetal phan nang, la chica que trabaja allí y luego dice que eso se hace el curry en una salsa de pescado. No comer mariscos y no estoy de acuerdo con comer pescado. Estoy consternada que no es anunciado en el menú y que es la primera vez que he oído. Todas poco basilio curry tailandés han pescado en las salsas. No volveremos.

Nunca falló para impresionar con platos de alta calidad de muchas regiones. Cocinado a la perfección y preparados frescos a la orden.

Habíamos estado deseando visitar Albahaca poco por un tiempo, pero después de la apertura de nuestra bolsa para llevar, enseguida nos dimos cuenta de que no iba a nuestra lista de favoritos. El personal era genial, no hay problemas, y para ser justos, el sabor...

Me encanta este lugar el personal es muy amable y la comida es muy muy buena. Recomendaría a todo el mundo. Albahaca poco El personal realmente saben cómo cuidar a sus clientes y la comida es muy fresca y nos aseguraremos de preparado. Práctico si...

Simply the best Chinese take away trust me i have tryed all of them. Its that good i travel from another town to get my Chinese from their and its well worth it.

Fab takeaway with freshly cooked food to order. By far the best Chinese/ Thai takeaway in Cockermouth. Reasonably priced too. Would definitely recommend.

I love the food here, by far the best in Cockermouth BUT they are always closed and have endless holidays. I know everyone deserves time off but it seems like all the time. You know their closed when the phone rings off or their mailbox is full. Would benefit from a basic website which has the menu and would indicate whether open or not... If they were open or more reliable with their opening times I would give 5star.. What's the point in having a take away if it's never open..

My favourite take away excellent food good service good value great choice on menu would recommend this take away lovely treat

The take away is very good the food is lovely always hot a mix of Chinese and Thai. Ring in order always ready never had to wait for food to get cooked

We tried this one as they had printed menus available to take when they were closed. We were not disappointed - the food was freshly cooked and excellent. We were pleasantly surprised by the bill - will definitely go back.

This is an excellent Chinese & Thai Take Away.The food is always prepared fresh and quickly.The staff will happily recommend something new if you want a change and are happy to change the recipe if needed. The Menu is extensive and the food is delicious. Very friendly staff make this a joy to order from.

Had our first chinese from Little Basil last night, after hearing good things about it.Firstly we rang in the order and we were told it would be ready in 15 minutes which was a brilliant start.When we arrived, the staff were very friendly, and we also liked the fact you could see into the kitchen. Everything looked very fresh and clean, which filled us with confidence.The price was very reasonable, which again, was another refreshing bonus.Now the important part.........the food..............tres bien!!! (very good).The thing that struck us both was how fresh everything looked compared to other chinese takeaways. My girlfriend used the phrase "it is like a healthy chinese" and i knew exactly what she meant. We both ate our meals without leaving anything, and both felt just nicely full, rather than bloated and stuffed!Overall would recommend this hidden gem of a chinese takeaway!!

We nearly always have a takeaway from here as a treat, the service is always first class and the food fresh and tasty.

Lovely people and if you want chicken and cashew nuts but half chicken and half king prawn he will do that for you.Food all cooked to order so always hot and fresh.Long standing customer.

Treated ourselves to a takeaway this evening as I had been fancying Thai food all day!Took a few attempts to get through to place my order - but the lady on the phone was extremely polite and friendly (you could hear how busy it was in the background) I requested our takeaway for about 45 mins time. Rather that the usual 'tell you anything to shut you up' that you would expect in a lot of take away places, she took a moment to ask and was honest enough to say that it would be a few more minutes than I had asked for. I had no problem with this at all.When my husband returned home he had got our food within moments of the time given.It was gorgeous - we both had Thai and it looked so fresh and colourful with really freshly prepared ingredients.I guess a lot of people must think the same as it is very busy - well worth a few mins wait!! Highly recommended.
