Where the Locals Eat Rating
Best Thai
Top 100 Restaurant, New Orleans
"This restaurant is a favorite destination for those looking to spice things up with Thai cuisine. Try grilled chicken coconut soup, followed by a traditional mussaman curry with potatoes, peanuts and jasmine rice."
–Gambit Weekly
"The quality of the food, great service, and pretty decor make every bite of Basil Leaf's gourmet cuisine worthwhile."
–Where Y'at Magazine
"Chef-owner Sukuman Titiparwat's dishes, combining tradition and innovative nuances, are a delight to both eye and palate . . . Defining the soothingly uncluttered environment are cozy booths, dark-wood fixtures contrasting with creamy walls, and a few color-splashed contemporary canvases."
