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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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!

This place is amazing!! another family authentic business in the town, it makes the town atmosphere better from the chains.

Amazing service, fabulous food, full of flavour and spice. Will be returning.

Driver was lost. He was driving around for like 15min. Texted him but he didn’t see my message. Momos are great but ramen very oily, overcooked noodles and not well seasoned.

Delicious food, brilliant service.. we had a lovely meal here! Thank you!

Always the best food! Priyanka was excellent in getting us a table with no booking and a full house. Great service, will be here again and again.

Fantastic place to go for board games and chilling out. More of a pub vibe than cafe which sets it apart from other places.

Our visit to chulo thakali restaurant was a delightful experience. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to explore authentic Nepali flavors in a warm and welcoming setting. The menu offered a wide variety of dishes, catering to both vegetarians and meat lovers. We started with the chili chicken momo, which were perfectly steamed and filled with flavorful chicken. The highlight of the meal was the thali set, rich with spices, lentil and tender meat, accompanied by fluffy rice. Each dish was beautifully presented and bursting with authentic flavors. Considering the quality and portion sizes, the prices were reasonable. We felt we received great value for our money, especially with the generous portions. We will definitely be returning!

Unfortunately NO FOOD Is served here now
