Thai Basil Main St., Brownsburg IN Chicken pad thai: 8/10 -- loved the crispy peanut topping and the sauce was also nutty, spicy, and yummy! It was a little on the sweeter side even though I asked for a medium spicy. Chicken to noodle ratio was not the most generous but this was easily a shareable. Iced thai tea: 9/10 -- so yummy!! if they put less ice this would have been perfect. Spring rolls: 9.5/10 -- the crispy on thesecould be heard from three tables over. sooo yummy. the filling was super fresh too. Visited Thai Basil for the Hendricks' County Food Fest by @ and was not disappointed! Super cute decor and delicious varieties of food. I will definitely be back to try some of their chef specials and also their lunch menu! Parking lot is out front. Nice servers. Good ambience for a dinner! read more

Just like saying yes to the dress, I said a big, enthusiastic yes to Thai Basil. My love for Thai food is no secret and this spot instantly brightened my day. I stopped by for a takeout lunch and was greeted by clean tables, a friendly smile, and lots of tempting menu suggestions. Thai Basil has parking lot, and you can choose to dine in or grab your meal to go. I went with the Massaman curry, ordered it medium hot with tofu, and was delighted when it arrived with a spring roll, salad, and soup. Talk about a lunch. Most Thai places only toss in a spring roll or soup, but here, they know how to treat a hungry guest. I ate my food and felt full and happy, ready for a nap. Next time I am turning up the heat and trying it hot, because I like my curry with a little more kick. This curry had a fun twist with a touch of sweetness, pineapple, nuts, and a few surprise ingredients I had never seen before. The food was fantastic and I will absolutely be back when I run out of new to me places in town. The portions are generous, the price is right, and Thai Basil just earned a spot in my Thai foodie hall of fame. Thai Basil, you have a new fan. The only hiccup was that most of my soup took a little trip in the bag, thanks to a sneaky/broken lid that didn't stay put. Thankfully, the bit that survived was delicious! read more

We were looking for some Thai in the Brownsburg area and this was a good suggestion. The restaurant is beautiful and well cared for. Our server was very nice and helped us pick out a few dishes. We started with vegetable tempura, which was great. Nice light batter so you can taste the vegetables. I had the cashew nut with tofu. They do not mess around with spice. I had the hot and it was perfect. The price point at this location is very reasonable as well. We will come back often. read more

Everything is great..service (friendly and smiling), food, cleanliness etc. Portions are very generous. I met a friend for lunch. The lunch special included Orange Chicken so that's what I chose. The meal included soup (which the server brought as soon as we sat down). The meal was brought in a very reasonable amount of time, was hot, and included rice, salad and a spring roll. All delicious! I'll return. There are also options for drive through and carry out. I see a carry out dinner in my future. read more

This is great Thai place in Brownsburg. My friend and I met for lunch here on a Friday afternoon. There was no wait, which was great! Servers were attentive and friendly. Soup comes with lunch and a as a great way to start our meal. We both got lunch specials and they hit the spot. Great food, friendly service, plenty of parking...we will be back! read more

Great reviews led us to this little Thai restaurant in Brownsburg. The restaurant is in a nicely renovated former fast food structure. The inside is serene and upscale (for the most part) with a mix of booths and tables. Pong, our server, brought us soup and water as we sat down. He was attentive and kind. He checked on us regularly. The lunch menu offers many Thai favorites for $11.99. Meals include the entree, salad and spring roll, which is a great deal and the portions are generous. Food came out in 15 minutes, hot and fresh! I ordered Pad Pak Ruam with Tofu. My plate was artful and huge. Pad Pak Ruam is packed with vegetables in a tangy garlicky sauce that was beyond delicious. The salad dressing was sweet with Thai flavors. The small spring roll was crunchy and yummy. I loved this healthy plate and recommend. My husband had Chicken Pad Thai. His meal came with salad and spring, too. He loved the Pad Thai and ended up bringing half of it home. They have a bar and serve wine and beer. There is parking around the building. I recommend highly. read more

I ordered takeout on my lunch break because my work is close to it and I live super close to it and I was very disappointed. I placed my order about an hour before I went to pick up and scheduled it ahead and it was almost like they made it when I placed the order so when I picked up my food (right on time) and ate it a few minutes later it was all cold and mushy and gross. Maybe it would've been better if I'd eat there but the takeout was very bad. read more

Eating lunch out for one person adds up too fast these post-COVID days. I don't do it often because it's too expensive, especially for what you get. But Thai Basil? I'll be going again for lunch. For $13 (including tax!), you get a choice of many Thai staples that come with soup, salad, and a spring roll. Because of the price, I expected the quality to be the worst. I was wrong! The Massaman curry I ordered was as good as my other favorite Thai places in Indy. Plus, the server was so friendly and we were greeted and seated right away. Clean, friendly, delicious, and fast. Excellent choice for lunch! read more

Thai Basil - Massaman Curry - Thai Near Me - Brownsburg, Indiana

Thai Basil is my regular spot for Thai food and the majority of the time I get it to go however this time, I went with some friends and dined in. It's a small restaurant and it's usually not busy, that was the case today, we were the only customers. We were greeted and sat down right away. The Thai Dumplings were really good, my friends had the Chicken Satay, Crispy Spring Rolls, and the Shrimp Salad Rolls which they all really liked. I decided to try something different and had the Pad Wun Sen with Tofu, the flavors were great but I didn't care for the big chunks of tomatoes. I also ordered the Sweet Sticky Rice with Mango to take home. read more

The food is fine. It's not the best Thai food I've ever had, but it's still pleasing to eat and everything was as expected. I had drunken noodles (the noodles had a slightly thick mealy texture, but overall the flavor was good), tofu salad (acidic, nice chewy tofu, but there was a lot of iceberg lettuce that seemed like filler), and sticky rice with mango (my favorite Thai dessert). I tried to call in my carry out order but no human answered, I immediately received a text that indicated I should order online through "Cartana". It was worded kind of strangely. So I clicked the link and placed my order. As far as I could tell Cartana makes you set up an account to check out, which I don't love. I went to the restaurant and my order was sitting in the counter with the receipt indicating it was paid. I didn't see anyone so I left a tip and took my food. So for carry out you need some smartphone skills and there will be no human interaction. For me, this was great because I was really tired. For others, this might not be their preference. read more

Got the combo rice. They give you a lot but the taste was underwhelming. I'll probably go again but will try something else. read more

Thai Basil - Combination rice - Thai Near Me - Brownsburg, Indiana

My husband wanted Thai food tonight for dinner, so we headed to Brownsburg to Thai Basil. Easy to find with a private parking lot. Lunch is offered from 11:00 - 3:00 p.m. and dinner is from 4:00 - 9:00 p.m. Note they are closed between 3:00 - 4:00 p.m. When we arrived, a patron was leaving and informed us they were only offering takeout. Their furnace had broken so there wasn't heat. They did have a couple of large space heaters where guests could be warm while waiting for their takeout. It was very considerate of them. We ordered the Thai Dumplings with ground pork and veggies wrapped in a wonton skin and steamed. I love these dumplings and should place 2 orders as my lunch or dinner. They are that flavorful and so tasty. My husband ordered the Pad Wun Sen, #27, hot, with chicken, stir-fried silver noodles, and mixed veggies (no mushrooms) in a tasty brown sauce He loves his Thai food, prepared hot, and tonight did not disappoint. He was very happy with dinner. I ordered my usual Pad Kee Mao, #26, medium heat, flat noodles, chicken, stir-fried egg, and mixed veggies (minus broccoli and add cabbage) in a Thai Basil sauce. I love the flat noodles and could order just a plate of flat noodles without meat or veggies. They are never overcooked and delicious. The chicken was tender and bite- size, plus the veggies were crisp-tender. It's always my favorite Thai meal. The restaurant was chilly without heat, but as always, the server was polite and friendly, plus made a point to make sure the heater was close to me. Our order arrived quickly, and we were on our way within minutes. Even under unwanted conditions, they remained open, professional, and apologetic. We are always very happy dining at Thai Basil. read more

Tried this place for a lunch with coworkers after a coworker said it was fantastic. I disagree. I had the garlic pepper beef with a spicy level of hot. The garlic sauce was lovely honestly. It was the highlight of the show and it had enough heat that my nose ran a bit but it wasn't uncomfortable. The beef was a rubbery mess and the carrots were sliced so thin that they lacked any consistency at all. Which is fine, except that it was served on a bed of cabbage. So I got rubbery beef and rubbery carrots served on a bed of rubbery cabbage. It was not pleasant, and the steamed rice that they probably just dump some water in every hour or so didn't help. It was rubbery and mushy. So if you like rubbery, get the garlic pepper beef. Pong was our server and the only server for what was a pretty busy lunch scene. He messed up drink orders and didn't bring refills until we asked and then we all had to ask individually. Worse he piled our tickets in front of one our group and invited us to sort them and did the same when he brought back the receipts. Even giving credit where it's due that he was the only one there doesn't really do anything to help the lack of service. The place is nice, that's the only thing I could say. The coffee cup of salad mix with no dressing and pinkie sized spring roll added no value to the meal either. Won't be returning. Don't understand all the glowing reviews unless it's just about the low cost. read more

The people in my dinner party were the only people in the entire place. Staff kept the ice tea coming while we ate our meals. The level of spicy in my Veggie Delight dish was on par with what I anticipated it being-- however I did think there would be more veggies than tofu, which was slightly disappointing. I also don't think staff were incredibly allergen aware. I hope that this place gets some more business-- it wasn't exemplary, but it was good! read more

Food was good and service was good. My wife prefers Thai District but I like them both with just a little leanings towards Thai district-

Thai Basil is a great restaurant. Good food and friendly staff. We will definitely be coming back.

I'll preface this with saying we have ordered this dozens of times and love it. My 5 yo loves it. We always order "Medium" level heat. I don't know who cooked this tonight, but this is NOT medium. No one could eat this in our home and we love spicy food. It is painfully hot, causing stomach issues. Nothing is helping (not milk, ice cream, etc). read more

The restaurant was sparkling clean as usual when we dined in for dinner and we had the place to ourselves. We were greeted with smiles and always made to feel welcome when we visit. The menu is quite extensive and it's always fun to try different items. One thing to be aware of is the portions are HUGE! We started off with the Calamari which is served on a bed of cabbage and drizzled with sweet chili sauce. The look of the Calamari is not traditional but it was delicious. The Veggie Lover entree with Chicken was amazing and piled high on the plate. The Garlic Pepper Entree with Beef was so good that I didn't want to stop eating it. The Thai Rice with Chicken was a meal in itself and our eyes were way bigger than our stomachs. The flavor of every dish was amazing and the service was awesome! Our glasses never ran dry and the servers were always smiling and very friendly. We had enough food left over for another meal. For the price, location, variety and flavors of each dish this place is an exceptional value! They also have wine and read more

We make it a point to dine at Thai Basil a few times a year because they are consistently good. We were excited to see the once-vacant Long John Silvers transform into this gem of a restaurant. Portions are generous, service is friendly, and the spice level is always perfect to order. The descriptive menu spans several pages and includes something for everyone, from authentic Thai noodle dishes to orange chicken. I am making an effort to try each of the curries (yellow has been my favorite, so far), although the Pad Thai never disappoints. The restaurant itself is clean and quiet, a nice retreat from the busyness of the surrounding burb. We usually dine in, but their takeout business seems to be booming. read more

For Thai food in Brownsburg, this is a five star for me. I still can't believe this used to be the Long John Silver's! If you're getting appetizers, I recommend the crab rangoon but not the calamari which comes out looking kind of like onion rings. While it tasted okay, I wouldn't order the calamari again. For main dishes, you won't go wrong with the pad Thai but my favorite is the massaman with chicken. As far as heat goes, I found the "spicy" to be a little mild but when you jump up to "very spicy", you're in for a spiritual experience. They even go a step above that with Thai spicy which is the Spaceballs equivalent of going plaid. If you're conscious about the environment, bring your own container for leftovers because you're going to have some due to generous portion sizes. There is a friendly kids menu with tendies and fried rice. They also have some import lagers, a decent wine list and a few interesting teas to chose from. Yay! read more

Great food, and comparable pricing to other Thai restaurants in the area. The orange chicken was excellent, and the chicken wings appetizer was very crispy. Amazingly there was no wait on a Friday evening, so service was quick and very good. I'll definitely be back. read more

2nd visit to Thai Basil and the food was excellent again. I stopped in after church today and was glad they were open. Last time, I got the pad thai and this time got the tofu surprise and that sauce.......omg, so good. They keep the sauce separate so your veg and tofu and not swimming in sauce. Made for a delicious birthday lunch. I'll definitely be back again. read more

Basing off of a delivery order: the egg rolls were absolutely fantastic and would recommend those! The chicken fried rice had bits of chicken that were cold, as if the meal wasn't all cooked together/at the same time. The chicken pad see ewe was decent but had very little flavor, along with the fried rice. Price was at the higher end of the Thai restaurants that I've tried in the area. Based on the lack of flavor and price, would recommend something else. read more

I order carry out when I get off, it's always ready fast. I love the volcano chicken or shrimp. The sauce is spicy but good . Everything has so much flavor. The basil fried rice and spring rolls are also delicious. Only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is they gave me the wrong soup. But that being said, the soup I did receive was a coconut broth base and it was also sooooo yummy! read more

Boy, we're certainly living in the Golden Age of Thai restaurants in this neck of the woods, we've gone from having to drive maybe fifteen miles for Thai to having two Thai restaurants within a short bike ride. So Thai food. I honestly don't feel I've ever had bad Thai food anywhere, and having eaten a bunch of Thai food over the years, my experience has been there isn't a huge difference between carryout and fine dining, so the Thai restaurant we choose really depends on what makes a restaurant unique, per se. Thai Basil is a good middle of the road restaurant, you want good Thai but not a super-upscale atmosphere, but you don't want to sit in a carryout place that has just enough room for a couple tables, you go to Thai Basil. For a former Long John Silver's, it's actually pretty nice on the inside, so while I wouldn't necessarily take my wife here for our anniversary, you know, maybe her birthday with family or a casual date night. The staff is always really nice, food comes out quickly, and yeah, I'm not super adventurous with my Thai food, the dishes I order here are good : pad thai, pad see ew, and panang curry. My favorite thing about this place is the crispy spring rolls, which again are on par (i.e. good) with every other Thai place I've been too, except Thai Basil gives you SIX frickin' egg rolls. That's right, two more than most places. I can absolutely be swayed by a couple extra egg rolls. Why only four stars then? I guess I'm just bummed that there's no outdoor seating. There's a pretty large grassy area on the east end of the building, and yeah it overlooks the Speedway Gas Station, yeah it overlooks Route 136, McDonald's, and Planet Fitness, but I do love my patio dining, especially when I'm riding my bike around town and I'm unfit for indoor dining. But overall I still think four-stars is a fair rating. It's a really good neighborhood Thai place, you probably have a similar restaurant in your neighborhood. read more
