Amazing little cute restaurant with delicious food. They only have a few tables so definitely make your reservations beforehand. We paid about $50 per person and the food was great. Perfect place for a date night.

I had my daughter’s bridal shower at Basil. The outdoor deck was the perfect venue. People raved about the food and the service was excellent.

The restaurant even though quite small, it gave a Heavyweight Championship title!! Its Manhattan ish flair was as appealing as their Menu. The service was as good as their food. Spectacular!!

Pictured is the Caesar salad, Soltani and apple blossom. All 3 delicious, excellent food presentation. I’ve had my fair share of Persian food and this place does not disappoint. It was my first visit along with my girlfriend (an expert on Persian food.) Small and intimate setting. Beautiful interior design. I do see future visits (interested in their pasta selection.) If going for dinner, I do recommend calling ahead for reservations. Street parking only. BYOB. Friendly hostess and very helpful.

We had a wonderful experience at Basil. The staff was exceptionally helpful in explaining the menu. Be aware they do not serve alcohol but you are able to bring your own wine. Food was fantastic and full of flavor. A+

Delicious, delicately cooked marinated meats are healthy. Jeweled rice is a specialty here. BYOB and save $. So worth it.

This was our first visit to Basil’s and it won’t be our last. The food and service was excellent. We had 2 appetizers sautéed eggplant and pita for 6. My main dish was zereshk polo. It was delicious. They have an outside area in the back that opens in warmer weather that is very nice.

First visit today. Was awesome. The crab cakes were unbelievable! The shrimp skewers were almost too pretty to eat. Felt like we went out of town. Very cozy and nice ambiance.
