Restaurant Review: Holy Basil

Decent place, shame it is hidden inside Shark Hotel on Liverpool st. in the city.

Service was attentive enough, and the food came out very quickly. Prices were reasonable for the quality you got. I don't really need to review each dish individually for this; just order haphazardly to around 6-7 plates and share with a handful of friends. I just wish the servings were a touch larger.


We got an assortment of dishes pictured above which were all very good. The Soft Shell Crab was the highlight for me.


Save some room for dessert because the best deep fried ice cream experience of your life to date is here. Flakey, paper-thin, light, caramelised, buttery pastry wrapped around a creamy slab of vanilla ice cream, nestled on top of a mound of grated coconut and chocolate sauce. It's worth coming back here just for this.

Overall, an 8.5/10.
