The place is split into a restaurant bar type. We sat in the bar area and watched the cardinal hame while we enjoyed the food.

The highlight of the visit is the traditional seating arrangement. Eating from a low wooden table while seated on the floor creates a unique, authentic, and highly enjoyable atmosphere. My friend and I thoroughly appreciated this distinctive setup. The food itself is outstanding and reasonably priced. The portion sizes are quite large, featuring a generous plate of flavorful rice serving as the base for perfectly prepared proteins. Both our chicken and lamb orders were cooked to perfection--tender, juicy, and well-seasoned. For first-time visitors, it is important to note the service model: you must place your order directly at the counter upon arrival. Table service is not provided, so do not wait to be seated before ordering. Additionally, logistically speaking, parking is convenient. If the main lot out front happens to be full, they have an additional dedicated parking lot located directly behind the restaurant building. I recommend this establishment for anyone looking for Mandi, great value, and an unique dining experience.

I ordered the chicken shawarma on flat bread and it was about a 10 min or so wait until my take out order was ready. It was delicious and filling!

I was browsing Uber Eats for Mediterranean food when I found Golden and realized they had something that looks an awful lot like Khachapuri (here it's on the menu as Aldo). So I abandoned my plans of delivery food and promptly made my way in to eat. We got a solid sampling of the menu: - hummus/foul - Aldo with cheese and an over easy egg (I think their default may be scrambled but they do over easy if you ask!) - stuffed grape leaves - labani + black olive flatbread - kufta with tomato sauce - shawarma chicken wrap Lord above, my heart was so happy. The foul is exceptionally garlicky. Perfectly so. My partner said the hummus was his favorite thing we ordered, and he's a pretty discerning dude! The Aldo was excellent. The grape leaves came out hot, which surprised me, but again - solid! Flatbread? Stellar. Maybe even better the next day. The kufta didn't particularly excite me, but I wasn't the one who ordered it, and my partner was happy. My shawarma wrap? Oh boy, that garlic sauce. They even perfectly portion the innards so your pickles aren't all stuck to one side and the fries to the other. You can have pickles in almost every bite! We also got several desserts to take home. I haven't sampled them yet, but the hazelnut baklava in particular intrigues me. Casual ambiance. Options for booths or tables, inside or outside. I am so thrilled to have found Golden - they'll be a regular spot for me!

I expected the restaurant to be busy during lunch time, but I certainly did not expect how small it is. It felt crammed inside, but no big deal. Parking was also tricky. It's pretty limited, so I had to park a bit further away. In terms of food and service, Thai Basil did a great job. Our server was very patient while we figured out what to order. I went for the Chicken Pad Thai and stuck with water as my drink. I was pleasantly surprised when the food started coming out because I expected it to take longer. I'd say it took about 15 minutes, even during lunch rush. My Chicken Pad Thai was delicious. The serving size was good and it came with a spring roll on the side. The price isn't bad at all either. It was basically $16 after tax for my lunch. I'd definitely come here again on my own.

Thai Basil - Tempe…read more Address: 403 W. University Dr. #101, Tempe, AZ 85281 After a meeting at Tempe Marketplace, I found myself craving Pad Thai. The last one I had elsewhere was much too sweet, so I searched for a nearby Thai restaurant and discovered Thai Basil on University Drive. This was my first visit, and I was pleasantly surprised to see the restaurant filled with customers. It's always a good sign to find a busy dining room, although I wondered whether the popularity was due to the food, the $12.95 lunch specials, or both. I ordered the Pad Thai with chicken, medium spice, and an Arizona iced tea. The Pad Thai was noticeably less sweet than the one I had previously tried at another restaurant, which I appreciated. However, the medium spice level was not spicy enough for me, so I'll probably order it hot next time. The Pad Thai was decent but didn't quite reach the "wow" factor. Still, the other customers appeared happy and satisfied, which makes me want to return and try some of the restaurant's other dishes. Thai Basil offers a wide variety of Thai favorites, including curries, noodle dishes, and vegetarian options. Both the waiter and waitress were friendly, attentive, and professional. Even with a full dining room, they took good care of me throughout the meal. Overall, Thai Basil was a pleasant first experience. I'll definitely be back to explore more of the menu.

On my last visit my gal pals and I split the special mam tray which was a divine variety of both sweet and savory offerings, flatbread, hot tea, shakshuka and a selection of cheese boats. I enjoyed all the selections and it was so beautifully presented. While we were checked on as needed at the beginning and middle or our meal, there was a bit of a lag towards the end when we needed our check. Adding to the peaceful and relaxing nature of this restaurant is the fact there are no TV screens on the walls (hooray). There's a lovely looking outdoor shaded patio which I'm sure will be a great place to eat when it gets cooler.
