Stunning Décor / Attentive Service / Delicious Food

Holy Basil opened its doors in 2009 and has since consistently delivered some of the tastiest Asian food in Sydney and become renowned for their unique fusion of Thai with the simple, saltier and earthier spicing of its neighbour Laos. A distinctive cuisine dominated with fresh herbs and spices is like no other cuisine on earth, with a delicate

balance between sweet, sour and spicy. The deliciously fiery and frenetic food is balanced with their welcoming and laid back nature. At Holy Basil, we are a family owned and operated restaurant that aims to share with you the integrity of our family recipes as well as new food concepts using old techniques borrowed from our past.

Straight off the grill and packed with flavour. 🦐🦑

Our Seafood Mixed Grill brings the heat on a chilly day. We’ve got jumbo prawns grilled right in their shells, perfectly charred calamari, and a caramelised lemon for that extra zesty kick.

Plated up hot on a banana leaf with our signature dipping sauces, it’s the ultimate balance of smoky, savoury, and fresh.
