Holy Basil Thai is an incredible dining experience. The food is full of so much flavour and is beautifully presented. We have been here many times and continue to bring our family and friends. The calamari is beautifully cooked and the best Ive ever had. I would recommend the Crispy Barramundi red curry its delicious. The service is friendly, and they really look after you. Be sure to try the Butterfly effect cocktail for a real treat. Thank you, Holy Basil Thai, I look forward to our next visit.
