Thai Basil in South Gloucestershire

I recently dined at Thai Basil in Thornbury with a party of six, and it was a fantastic experience. The owners were incredibly welcoming, making us feel right at home. The service was attentive without being intrusive, ensuring our needs were met throughout the evening. We all enjoyed our meals, which were delicious and well-prepared, showcasing authentic Thai flavours. The prices were very reasonable for the quality offered. I would highly recommend Thai Basil to anyone looking for a great Thai dining experience!

The spring rolls are very good here, nice and crispy! Good Thai food and service is friendly, a bit of a wait for the food but in general great place.

Popped in for lunch today. Absolutely amazing food and great value…. and lovely staff!

Ordered and collected within 25 minutes. Took about 10 minutes to actually pay when I arrived as they couldn't seem to work out the till to take cash. Use card if you can, clearly it would be easier. The massaman curry was OK, pad Thai was disappointing with about 4 prawns in total. Satay skewers were also disappointing compared to previous orders in the past. We haven't had Thai to takeaway for a while and I don't think we would again. Perhaps better to dine in.

6 of us went to Thai Basil tonight to celebrate my friend special birthday, comfortable easy location with free parking. My experience at Thai Basil exceeded my generalized expectations, especially the chef adjusted the spiciness for myself which I super appreciated The manager Imelda and Preeya served us whom went OVER and BEYOND they both gave us a 5 Star hotel attentive services, their services was impeccable, not too much trouble at all, extremely friendly, calm and very polite staff, delicious hot foods - Tom Kha with Prawns, Pad Poh Tak and Pad Thai with Prawn were among my favorites, but there were plenty of dishes to choose. Chocolate Birthday Cake with candles on the house was a surprise for my friend, thank you Thai Basil, really appreciated your effort. We all really enjoyed it tonight, now we are deciding to book our friend next birthday meal in December in your restaurant again. If you have not been to Thai Basil in Thornbury then you need to get there and enjoy. Highly Highly recommended, you won’t disappointed.

Ordered via website for collection time 1 1/2 hrs hence. Went to collect 5 mins early & food was ready. Got home 5 mins later and all food was cold. It had obviously been standing for a long time. We had to re-heat everything included re-frying the battered veg starter that would have gone soggy in the microwave Food itself was ok'ish, but battered veg was very oily and the green curry was tasty enough, but was almost a soup.

Very nice! It was so pretty and the food was divine. We even got candy at the end! The staff were so nice!

- Always patient with the people we support - Always good size portions - Good value for money. - staff are always friendly and accommodating.

What an amazing evening. Jen booked this amazing restaurant and gave them the heads up it was my 60th. What exceptional effort went into making my birthday celebrations amazing. My table was scattered with happy birthday confetti. There was a banner across the windows. The food and service were fantastic. And to top it off, I was given a beautiful cake, candles and sung to by Imelda and her team. Just an extraordinary evening in Thornbury at a beautiful Restaurant. Imelda you run a wonderful restaurant . Your staff are a blessing. 100 percent an exceptional evening. Thank you from Robyn Morrison xxxx Nb we forgot to take photos of all our food choices, but all were delicious

Really good freshly prepare requisite tasting and reasonably priced

Ate this evening. Great food, fair prices. Attentive service. Not rushed. 2nd good experience. Will be back again

My partner and I love coming here. The food is always amazing. Portions are generous in particular the duck starter with lots of pancakes and hoisin sauce. Waiting staff are always very friendly and obliging. Fairly priced too. We would fully recommend this restaurant to anyone.

Didn’t manage to get photos of the starters but highly recommend the mince pork on the sesame toast, was delicious. Mains were great too, definitely will come back soon. Staff extremely friendly and everyone was so nice to us. Pad Thai was a bit sweet for my taste but nevertheless was really good.

REPLY: the given review wasn't because you couldn't accommodate us, it happens. The one star rating was given for the unacceptable rudeness of the woman who called us to tell that you don't have availability anymore. -- Didn’t get to go to the restaurant. Made a reservation online and 3 hours before was called by a rude woman saying that I could have the table for 2 hours from 5 pm instead 7 pm as booked. When I said it’s too early for me, she replied so sorry and hang up on me straight away.

Very good meal and no complaints.

First visit since under new ownership. Lovely friendly staff, good service and delicious food. Will definitely be going back.

A regular Thai treat for us - lovely, tasty, authentic food :)

One of my favourite places to eat in Thornbury.

A lovely special meal. We started to look through the main menu, struggling as we were spoilt for choice, so decided on the special Valentine's day set meal and were certainly not disappointed. 4 yummy starters, followed by 3 main course dishes and rice. The restaurant was subtly decorated with hearts with a red rose on every table (still beautiful almost a week later). The staff were friendly and attentive. All in all, a very special evening. Thankyou.

Food was amazing, especially the pineapple rice

Had an excellent meal here. Food and service was excellent, tasty, spicy and good beer, everything you expect from a Thai restaurant 😋

amazing food and cocktails, will definitely be returning! recommend to everyone :)

We went here for the first time for a birthday celebration. The staff were welcoming and the food was lovely. Everything was well presented. Will definitely return at some point in the future.

Delicious food and fantastic friendly service. Thankyou.

Fantastic restaurant! Fantastic service! Cant fault it!!

First time to eat here again after they reopen, have to say it’s better than before!! The green curry is the best I’ve had in the UK, and the chicken breast in Pad thai is so tender it’s unbelievable. Lunch menu is very reasonable price, they improved the interior decor and the staff are super friendly. Lovely local restaurant and definitely will visit them regularly. High streets need our support.

Excellent menu and food was great, friendly service and good value.

Fantastic food, amazing customer service, very accommodating to allergies, beautiful setting

We’ve just eaten in the restaurant. The decoration looks very nice and elegant. The food is lovely with good price. The most amazing is the customer service, all the ladies were so nice and served food super quickly. I’ll def come back some day

Came here for my son's birthday. The food was really excellent and served very quickly even though the restaurant was full The staff where very helpful, friendly and efficient. Excellent customer service and a great experience all around will definitely be back😊

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.

Fantastic thai food - authentic with great service

One of the best Thai food I ever had. ♥️

Après avoir tourné dans la région pour manger un dimanche soir tard, nous avons eu le plaisir de manger dans ce restaurant excellent. La soupe Tom Kha est vraiment bonne.

Fantastically authentic thai meal, delicious red curry and pad thai. One of the best we have had. Very impressed 👏

Called in to the Thai Basil restaurant in Thornbury today for lunch. Having used the proprietors restaurant in Cheltenham previously was interested to see if the standards were as good. Imelda and Kit were up to their usual excellent standard. Lunch menu is terrific value (don’t know how they do it for the price). If you enjoy Thai food do give this restaurant a visit.

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

Beautiful food and lovely, friendly staff. Had a meal recently catching up with friends and had a great evening. Thoroughly recommend.

An authentic Thai restaurant serving a typical range of the usual favourites, including both red and green curries. Takeaway service can be ordered online to collect at your preferred time, and this can be short notice or longer. Restaurant service is excellent and very quick.

Incredible food great atmosphere and extremely helpful and polite staff. Would highly recommend a visit!

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.

Just collected a take away. Greasy tasteless overcooked. Always recommended in the past, never again!

Enjoyed the visit. Great food and service. Very busy and only a Tuesday.

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.

Food was absolutely delicious and the staff were all very welcoming and friendly. Hoping as the weather improves they'll have some tables outside because their garden looks lovely!

Great food, great atmosphere, excellent and warm service.

Good food nice atmosphere.We had dinner and went back for lunch the next day

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

Probably the best Thai Iv ever had well with the visit

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

Great food, fast service, staff constantly checking all good, and I think it was the owner spoke with us before we left. Flawless.

We got a takeaway which was just delicious. Good size portions. Green Thai curry was amazing. Can’t fault the service on collection and lovely to see the restaurant busy even on a Wednesday.

Great food. really friendly and helpful staff. Will be back 😋

Excellent Thai for Thornbury, indeed probably the best restaurant in the area.

Nice food, no vegan options evident. Service was friendly but slow, tho they were busy. Only 1 choice for alcohol-free beer, have had much nicer (sickly sweet). Would go again tho other venues preferred.

Good food and very reasonable prices

We were called back after trying to book a last minute dinner on NYE. All the food was amazing and we regretted ordering an extra starter with the set menu. It was just too much food! The only issue was being sat by the heater and it was a little warm. All in all a great experience and we will be back.

Amazing Thai food at a really good price. Really hot plates and food was served fast. Definitely will be coming back! :)

Fast and friendly service, generous portions of fresh tasty Thai classics at a fair price. Went early evening mid week, was quiet and were served really quickly, ordered too many delicious starters and struggled to eat the generous mains. Highly recommended.

Food was outstanding 😋 Absolutely delicious. Definitely recommend. So authentic. Generous portions. Staff very lovely .

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.

Lovely lunchtime venue. Menu choices were very varied. Washed down with a nice celebratory bottle of fizz

Great food. Busy Saturday night, but really nice night out. Waiting staff were first class.

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.

The food is delicious, the seafood pineapple fried rice really surprise me that a whole pineapple serve on plate! Love it so much!

Really tasty food. Lovely staff

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.

This place had amazing reviews so it was a must to try. There was 6 of us and we went for the set menu option B. The starters were amazing. So hot and the flavours perfect. Next was the mains. Again amazing. The flavours so good. Authentic. Tasty and so much of it. We asked for a little extra chilli and a special chilli oil came out. The flavour of this was amazing like it should be a bottled product. The staff were very friendly. Definitely a hidden gem and I would come here again. Well done.

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....

Excellent food and service. We chose a combination of noodles, rice and curry dishes which had different levels of spice and flavours. Not cheap but worth the money

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...

5 stars ⭐️ Every day of the week. We eat here often and it’s the best food in Thornbury 👍

Bit too oily for my taste.Starters were good but mains were just about ok.

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

Amazing food here we certainly werent leaving any behind so took what we couldnt finish home

Great food. Appalling decor. Horrible loos.

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.

The service was awful but the food (when it finally arrived) was great. If we hadn't had to wait over an hour between courses then it would get 4-5 stars.

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...

Lovely food and service. Highly recommended.

Would have been a solid 5 stars... but my god it’s good. Ok this is by far the best takeaway for miles. The food is always fresh, the taste is always amazing, the staff always friendly. I have been raving on about it to friends and family. The only downside is that it’s expensive even for take away. Just means I can’t order as much as I want as the menu is great and I want to try it all out!!

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...

Superb meal and excellent service. This was my first visit to the Thai Basil since before the first lock down in 2020 and its great to see that quality hasn't gone out of fashion at this gem of a restaurant.

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...

Ordered a takeaway collection for the first time from the Thai Basil tonight. Absolutely amazing, highly recommended. Food was excellent

First meal with new owners, it was an excellent meal 👍. New lighting was too bright spoiling the atmosphere 👎

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...

Fabulous meal and great service.

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.

Best meal and service you will ever have.
