Basil Leaf

This is a great little place with a good choice of foods to choose from. But beware the food is very hot & spicy so if you don't like it like that you'd better let your waiter know in advance. Try the Drunken Noodles or the Spicy Basil Chicken. They're both excellent but watch the heat.

Great food, quaint atmosphere and original Thai cuisine.

The first time I experienced the Basil Leaf, I was very pleasantly surprised by the atmosphere, the service, and more importantly the food. Once I had their Pad Thai, I was hooked, and during my brief stay in New Orleans, I had to make serveral trips to this little jem of a resturant to try almost everything on the menu, and nothing dissapointed.
