The best restaurants in Eastrop Basingstoke and Deane South East

I've been going regularly to this pop-up stall for the last 5+ years. It is one of my favourite places in Basingstoke to grab something to eat...it's just a shame it is only around on Wednesdays and Saturdays. I would probably go here far more often if was open all week. Highly recommended if you catch them in town. This is definitely THE place for Thai food in Basingstoke...I haven't seen anything this good since Kwai 2 closed down in Lychpit. It is authentic Thai food with great variety of choice. I will usually buy some Moo Ping (pork skewers), chicken satay or fish cakes if I am after a bite of lunch; I buy the Chicken Massaman if I want to buy something for dinner. The aromatic and natural flavours are definitely different (in a good way) from the Asian "chain" eateries in Festival Place. It's as authentic as it gets. The servings are very generous and prices represent value for money...they could put the prices up a bit and it would still be decent. They only take cash so you need to come prepared...the only cash I have around in my room is literally just a fund for this place. The only downside is that there is often a 5-10 minute wait to be served as they are very busy. I think this is a combination of them being very popular but also service being relatively slow. I have sometimes baulked at the queue and regrettably had to eat somewhere else due to time constraints.

As always a warm and friendly welcome, this evening was a roast ham, with a tasty cheese potato and onion pie. Bravo Chef Graham, bravo

Popped in for a coffee as had 20 minutes spare before my bus. The cakes looked divine although resisted as I am on a diet. Ordered a skinny latte. Amazed it was only £2 and then £1.80 with my Festival Place card. Much better value than Costa Starbucks and M&S. Can thoroughly recommend.

very welcoming ate in on this occasion ordered chicken shish with salad and garlic sauce and it was delicious! good portion very clean and value for money also enjoyed the turkish tea!

Personal amable, barato pero la comida es buena, una taza de té es sólo £1. 10, lo que el mismo será en la costa? Aperitivos son razonables.

A really lovely pick me up when I was in a bad mood waiting for the bus because I got new glasses and they look crap. Cheese bean sausage melt to die for. Wish I could go back in and get another but trying not to be a complete fatty.

We were made to feel very welcome in this amazing restaurant. From the moment we arrived, Mercel was the perfect host, helping with choices and pairings. Food was perfect, simply perfect.

really delicious, beef gyudon is always perfect. disappointed to see the portion sizes are now slightly smaller even though an increase in price. Still would eat here again and again, the flavours are always on point

What a lovely little find and proper regional grub too and great service from Gracie. Super jollof rice, spicy mutton and fried plantain with ice cream. Always had a soft spot for west Africa and the cuisine so this will now be our pre-Anvil eatery.

We visited as our halfway stop in both directions between kent and Devon and what a cracking find it was! Set in beautiful park perfect for letting us and the dog stretch our legs before sitting down to enjoy some lovely lunch and hot drinks. The staff are absolutely lovely and remembered us from our first stop. Very dog friendly and brought our dog some water. Clearly a family run, communi5u spirited venture. Lovely seating outside perfect for a summers day. Highly recommend.

Very good and tasty food. Would happily come back again. Srinu thankyou for good hospitality

In a sentence, food was okay, wish the servers and staff would wash their hands, but the vibe was very "if you're not a regular or "one of the incrowd", you don't feel welcome" Plus the noise was insane, even into late evenings.

The food tasted amazing ! Chicken fried rice , prawn chowmien , chicken teriyaki , fish Thali and Momos ! Everything had its own flavour and all were too good ! 😋

What an amazing venue! We went for a celebratory family lunch - a group of nine. We were greeted - no - welcomed into the restaurant by the manager and his lovely staff. Nothing was too much trouble (although we did try not be any kind of trouble!) and we were able to have a lovely, special time together. The décor is beautiful, and thanks to the atmosphere it was as near to a happy holiday in Türkiye as it is possible to be in England. The food was amazing, fresh, flavoursome, and so much of it! Be warned, do not enter this restaurant without an appetite. I was devastated not to have any room left for dessert - next time. And there will be a next time because this was just the first of what I hope will be many more visits to come.

We had a delicious meal out, authentic Keralan food and friendly staff. Thank you for a lovely evening. Highly recommended.
