This is a little gem and definitely the best Thai food in Canterbury and Ashford. The restaurant was really quiet when I visited and so I can't really say it has an atmosphere, but the decor is nice, modern and tastefully done. I ordered from the lunchtime menu which is great value for money, especially as you get a starter and rice included. All in all a great place and I will definitely be going back in the very near future. I took a ⭐ off the food score because for me, it was a little too salty. Other than that it was lovely.

First time visiting Thai Basil to celebrate my spouse's birthday, and we were pleasantly surprised with the quality of food and service received. We were able to get gluten-free options from the menu, which was a huge relief. The food was tasty and the portions generous. I hope they keep up the standards as this will attract a lot of repeat customers. We will definitely be going back to try some other dishes on the menu that looked interesting.

Had an amazing dining experience at Thai basil. The Pad Thai was perfectly balanced. Great service, fresh ingredients, and authentic Thai flavours—can’t wait to come back!”

What a lovely little place! Booked a table with ease most likely not required of a weekday evening which was our experience. Upon arrival greeted and seated with choice there was about half of tables occupied. Drinks menus supplied first and we chose a cocktail and beer each. Delicious cocktails and fast service. Once drinks were taken we were given food menu's and spoilt for choice. Having both been to Thailand and enjoy the variation of food we felt spoilt for choice. We chose two dishes to share one being a curry we opted for the jungle curry and a chicken because you dish with fresh vegetables. We selected a vermicelli noodle dish to accompany this as we saw it on another table being served and were not disappointed with our choices. Food potions are generous and more than enough share. We also chose tom yum soup and sweetcorn fritters which are a favourite of ours. We had no complaints about the food and loved how fresh and tender the meat was in all the dishes. Having limited options for thai and Asian food in Ashford this place is a hidden little gem out of town. It's most certainly worth a visit and we shall be back. The dishes were not overly spicy and I would say are pallet accessible for people who cannot or do not like spicy food. We spoke with the lovely waiters who were just the nicest of people with smiles and lovely communication. It's very clear that they enjoy working there. We asked if on our next visit would it be possible to request our dishes a little more spicy which they said wouldn't be a problem. We both love spicy food on occasion and recall enjoyable experiences from our visits to Thailand. I love pad preaw wan which is a sweet and sour style dish which we didn't get as I wanted to try other dishes. The Tom Yum soup was one of the nicest I've had not too spicy and full of rich flavour it's most certainly not something that's made from a packet obviously but as a traditional soup dish goes it's typically made and served in a big pot. The flavour was really enjoyable. We most certainly over ordered but we did manage to eat almost everything. Having lived in London and being spoilt for choice it's great to start seeing good authentic and great quality restaurants pop up around Ashford now. Parking wise there's a few spots outside and more a short walk away which was free. The toilets were spotless and had accessible facilities including wheelchair and parents facilities. This venue is accessible for wheelchairs and those who may have mobility issues as it's step free including in all areas of the restaurant. Service was fast and all dishes were served with warm plates. The attention to detail wasn't missed the cutlery and service ware was beautiful and very elegant. I don't typically do in-depth reviews but feel this place has given a lot of thought and deserves it. We have also tried their order and delivery service before we decided to visit the restaurant. We enjoyed it and think their dishes travelled well but you cannot beat an in-dining experience. Most certainly worth a date night, celebration or just evening out. Food price wise I would say value for money and not expensive. £10-12 a dish and fish dishes around £14-15 I was impressed with the value.

“The food we ordered was amazing, we will definitely be returning. Best burger place in Ashford! Just wish they did milkshakes! Burger was delicious , proper tasty. The Chicken strips were tender and juicy, proper chicken, how it should be not like KFC and McDonald’s! Onion rings were nice and crispy not greasy at all. Great quality food from a local business 10/10”

“I find myself in Ashford a few times a month on work visits; with the tiresome duties and/or responsibilities of work one always needs the desired refuel as well as good kick to the soul that Jays Soul Food gives to the palate. I dropped in from DurBar a skip across the street This week and I was reminded there is only one place to be and dine in when yearning Soul Food whether it be the offering of a Pan African Menu or right down to Montego bay with a taste of the Caribbean. As always it is a repetitive delight to dine in whilst in Ashford, as neither the Hilton and/or Travelodge I frequently stay in have comparable distinctive offerings served with distinction. Front of House Staff depicts welcoming diversity as well as Jay herself who is also caring and on hand ensuring everything is ok. Not to mention other patrons who were locals having a pint or two who sent not one but two bottles, one after the other of Premium Tusker Larger over to our table. Jays Soul Food is the place that keeps on giving! There is no place like this and/or comparable on this side of Kent!”

“The closest thing you’ll get to a Nepali cuisine in the UK. The service was amazing; everyone greeted in a Nepali namaste. The silverware, table, and the washroom has been the cleanest one I’ve ever been to.”

“Everything about this place was welcoming and 5 star. I’ve driven past for work many times and always wanted to go. The staff were amazing and couldn’t do enough for you. The food was 5 star, I had the beef roast and my partner the belly pork. Really decent Malbec too! They gave my floor a free ice cream which kept him happy while we ate. I will absolutely be back!”

“What a wonderful restaurant. Kenny and your staff should win awards for such excellent food and superb service. We visited on the first night after a friends recommendation and had a really wonderful meal. My wife left her sunglasses on the table so we returned on the second night we were in Ashford for another wonderful meal. Thank you so much for your service and attention to detail. Please, please support this fantastic establishment. You won't be disappointed, I promise.”

“We had a lovely 2 course meal with a glass of wine including breakfast as part of a Premier inn deal when we stayed on Saturday night. Mixed grill and breakfast were very very good. Everything cooked perfectly on a hot plate & nicely presented. We also had a couple of cheeky Stellas in the afternoon looking out the window near the bar as storm Bert hit. Really pleasant experience.”
