    The food here is delicious! We have not tried everything on the menu yet, but faves so far that we order every time are the mango papaya salad and wagyu with basil. The Master Chef Pad Thai and cod in banana leaf are also fabulous! We are trying new things each visit and cannot wait to taste the shrimp with glass noodles as well as the other seafood dishes!

    our first time dining at Holy Basil. Definitely not our last. The gentleman with the Scottish accent who greeted us a the front door welcomed us in. Our server was terrific, explained and introduced us to the menu, made great suggestions. The food was extremely delicious, full of flavor but not oily. We had a fantastic appetizer, and then pad kee moi and an amazing mussels dish with green curry. We loved every bite and will return soon. Thanksl. So glad you are in the neighborhood.

    The whole experience of booking on Open Table was pleasant. I got a text that our table was ready. We were seated as soon as our party of four was there. Patty, the waitress, was bubbly and friendly and took our orders. Even after we realized that we had missed ordering a dish she fast tracked it to the kitchen and we were able to enjoy it. The food was delicious. It was very nice of Patty to give us a sample of the "sweet wine" which was not to our taste. Overall I would recommend Ayara to our friends and we are planning on dining there again.
