Food: Spicy Basil

This is a little Thai place on Kilburn High Road. I've heard a lot about it, and I must say I was slightly taken aback; from the manic recommendations I've had this quite dingly little place wasn't quite what I was expecting.

But I'm always about the food anyway. Cheap and cheerful is the catchphrase here, with our total bill hitting seven pounds per head for a slight over ordering of starters, soups and mains. Food was good enough, but nothing to go out of your way for; I went for the spicy basil prawn and struggled to finish it off. Service was good too and we didn't have to wait too long considering it was a Friday night.

The meat is halal, so Spicy Basil is well worth checking out if you happen to be passing by in need of a quick meal.
