Holy Basil in Croydon Victoria has a very simple vision, to bring wholesome, delicious and exciting food to the eastern suburbs of Melbourne.
Our dream at Holy Basil was to create an exciting diner in the Eastern suburbs where people can relax, come together, have fun and enjoy proper homemade food in a very inclusive environment.
We are proud to deliver 100% vegan and Vegetarian options at Holy Basil, use free-range eggs and source only sustainably caught seafood as well as a range of other exciting meals with 95% of the menu being gluten free.
At Holy Basil we make our own curry pastes, sauces, desserts, chilli jam, and roti.
We happily use gluten free soy and 100% pure fish sauce.
We greatly appreciate your support in choosing to dine at Holy Basil.
Chefs Duncan Robertson and Julia Robertson look forward to seeing you.

    Great tucker; finely balanced flavours, fresh and Spivey with plenty of options. Our faves: ginger story fry, calamari entree. Always friendly and helpful staff. Can get a bit noisy but that no doubt reflects diners’ enjoyment :)

    We went for Valentine’s Day and on the table was a little note and 2 heart chocolates, a nice little thought. The food is fantastic, very generous serves. We both had Pad Thai, one prawn and one beef. The prawn dish had a very generous serving of prawns and the beef was juicy and tender. The roti was also terrific. The wait staff are lovely, moving around efficiently, quickly and quietly. We will definitely be back.
