  Thai Basil is my favorite restaurant in Brownsburg.  We used to frequent Siam Square, but we no longer have to make the drive downtown.  Thai Basil is just as delicious.  We normally order Pad Kra Prow & Green Curry, extra hot for me, Thai hot for my husband.   It's so good that we haven't been able to explore more of the menu!  Today we did try the green papaya salad as an appetizer - and I'm glad we did!  It was refreshing and spicy.  Definitely give this place a try.
  
  Service is attentive, food is generously portioned and delicious.  What more could you ask for?

  So disappointed food is pretty good but,
  We went in and it was 8:30 exactly , we were told they were closing and we could order takeout !
  THEY CLOSE AT NINE !
  To bad left a bad "taste" for us !
  They must be making a lot of money if they can do that !
  If restaurants want to be out by 9pm then hang a sign that they close at 8pm!

  Solid Thai lunch place.  Start with a free soup that was refreshing and my green curry with shrimp was nice.  Thai ice tea was a nice treat too. Great value and great food.

  What a pleasant surprise!  I decided to stop by for lunch and after pulling into their private parking lot, was greeted and shown to a table in the dining room.  The dining room was basically divided by a center row created from the backs of the booth seating for 4-top tables.  Another row of tables was available for standard table seating by the windows on each side.
  
  I went with one of the $9 lunch specials and a large cup of Jasmine tea.  The specials come with a bowl of lightly spiced soup (I believe lemongrass) that was quite tasty!  Nearly as soon as I finished my soup, my entree and remaining sides were delivered.
  
  The lunch special also includes a small side salad with a ginger based dressing and a crispy spring roll (veggie) that comes with a sweet dipping sauce (not too thick, but not runny either.)  Both were pleasant tasting without any heavy or dominant flavors.  The sides were included on the same plate as the main course, the Pad See Ewe.  The plate was a full 12" across, so I'm talking about a lot to eat!  
  
  The Pad See Ewe was cut into large pieces (no knife is included in the initial tableware delivered at the time of seating.)  Fortunately, I have a big mouth and was able to devour the lunch without requesting a knife, but either they should cut them a bit smaller or you may have to spear and bite or ask for a knife.
  
  I got my choice of protein with the Pad See Ewe, and went with the pork option.  There was a generous helping of meat that was right on the edge of being a little too done, but when combined with the large flat noodles (Yeah!) and the veggies, the meat was fine.  I also like that they include colorful veggies in the mix:  Bright orange carrots, deep green broccoli, and some light green cabbage (I was surprised how delicious the cabbage was with the sauce they include in the dish!) I've seen Pad See Ewe other places that came out a dull brown color.  This dish looked as appetizer as it tasted!
  
  I also was given a choice of spiciness, and went with the "Medium".  That level is one where you taste the heat immediately, but it doesn't escalate from there as you eat more.  Yes, the sinuses got a good workout, but I didn't feel there was any need to drink something after each bite.  
  
  The service was friendly, but not intrusive.  They checked in on my after I received my entree and had a chance to eat some before asking how I liked it.  And the check was collected and processed quickly too.  I could easily have dined here during a lunch break.
  
  Overall, a really good place to dine and a lunch offering that is competitive with the best Thai places I've tried in the metro area.

  Fantastic Thai restaurant! Growing up in Muncie, Thai Smile will always be my favorite by default. However, Thai Basil gives it a run for its money. My wife and I went on a Thursday afternoon for lunch and the experience was excellent. The interior is modern, clean, and welcoming. Service was attentive, food came out VERY quickly, and prices were better than expected. We really appreciated the sizable lunch menu. All items are $8.99 and come with a lemongrass soup, side salad, and spring roll. The spring roll was crisped to perfection and the complimentary soup had a nice citrus/lemon flavor unlike most bland soups that come with lunch combos. Our entrees (yellow curry tofu and tofu pad see eew) were great. We'll definitely be back for more!
