Want to try something different? Take a visit to Chilli Basil on City Road for a heavenly Thai-flavoured surprise.<\/h2>\n

Chilli Basil\u00a0is a hidden gem in Roath you can’t afford to miss.
\nOwned by an Indian chef who began his career as an apprentice in a Thai restaurant, he decides to open his own business at the intersection of City Road and Strathnairn Street.

Environment &\u00a0atmosphere<\/h3>\n

With just four tables and maximum capacity of 16 customers in the compact restaurant, it might mean that you will have to wait if you visit at rush hours or you can opt for their delivery service. We got luck and had a table immediately at 8pm.

Service<\/h3>\n

All staff members are very efficient. It took last than ten minutes for our orders to come and feed our growling stomach.\u00a0The friendly waiter also asked about my camera and we had an interesting conversation. I wish he had asked us about their food – they would get some amazing compliments!<\/p>\n

Culinary skills, food quality & portion<\/h3>\n

The menu is exceptionally exotic\u00a0– Thai-style salad, fish cake, curry, soup and more. The food portion is just right. On this occasion, we’ve ordered two starters and two main courses:<\/p>\n
