I'm rarely super impressed with restaurant food. I sort of have a God complex in the kitchen ("I could totally make this better. Why are we here?"). But this place was awesome.
My husband and I just moved to the Danforth area and decided to give Basil Thai a shot. Anything sounded better than cooking dinner. While driving there, I noticed we passed a few pawn shops, some check cashing places- usually signs of an exciting night to come. We found parking right in front of the restaurant, which conveniently allowed us to keep our eyes on our car.
We started with the paratha. It was warm and crispy. Sadly, it was gone in a matter of minutes. I ordered the pan friend malay noodle. It was amazing. The flavor was great. Serving size was big, tons of chicken and shrimp. I asked for extra veggies and they were cool with it. My husband ordered the Singapore Noodle. It had a nice smoky, curry flavor. He loved it. We decided to order the fried bananas for dessert. I'm pretty sure the old couple next to us must have felt uncomfortable with all the moaning. They were perfect...the bananas. Not the old couple.
Visit this hidden gem and you will not be disappointed.
