Holy Basil in Croydon Victoria has a very simple vision, to bring wholesome, delicious and exciting food to the eastern suburbs of Melbourne.
Our dream at Holy Basil was to create an exciting diner in the Eastern suburbs where people can relax, come together, have fun and enjoy proper homemade food in a very inclusive environment.
We are proud to deliver 100% vegan and Vegetarian options at Holy Basil, use free-range eggs and source only sustainably caught seafood as well as a range of other exciting meals with 95% of the menu being gluten free.
At Holy Basil we make our own curry pastes, sauces, desserts, chilli jam, and roti.
We happily use gluten free soy and 100% pure fish sauce.
We greatly appreciate your support in choosing to dine at Holy Basil.
Chefs Duncan Robertson and Julia Robertson look forward to seeing you.

    A very enjoyable dinner experience with friends. Food was some of the best Thai I've had in a long time with staff ever vigilant being it water top up to keeping the floor clean with brush and pan. Only criticism we had was we were seated next to the service counter and each time they used the charcoal cooker we all suffered a throat irrigation. This was only for a short moment but uncomfortable nonetheless and nothing a glass of water couldn't fix. This aside it was a very beautiful experience and will come again.

    We had the corn fritters, satay chicken, pork stir fry and a Penang curry and it was all so delicious! The service was friendly and efficient and was an easy place to have a family meal! We did 5pm to suit the children and it was a great experience.

    We love this restaurant! From the moment you arrive you are greeted by friendly and helpful staff. The food is delicious and we are so grateful that staff are willing to cater for allergies by adapting their menu and providing so many choices. This also applies to their drinks menu which includes vegan wines. Thank you Holy Basil! We will be back!
