| - We ordered delivery from Green Basil, and sadly, we were pretty disappointed. My wife ordered Pad Thai, her usual choice at Thai restaurants, and it was quite sweet and somewhat ketchup-y. (I've been told that some types of tamarind, the primary spice used in Pad Thai, can taste ketchup-y, but to me it just tastes cheap.) I ordered a "peanut curry," which was apparently their usual red curry with added peanuts, and an order of coconut rice to go with it. The curry was reasonably tasty, but not spectacular, and the coconut rice was tasty enough (it's sort of hard to do wrong.) Our order also qualified for free spring rolls, which were eminently 'meh,' and the (seemingly) standard sweet & spicy dipping sauce, which was also meh.
Delivery, though, was reasonably fast - significantly less than the 45m-1h we were quoted.
I had high hopes for Green Basil, but we were unfortunately disappointed. With better options (like Thai on Danforth) significantly closer to us, I don't think we'll be ordering again.
