" If you're ever in Albany, don't miss out on Sweet Basil! The approach to Thai food in this place is outstanding! The cashew chicken was beautifully presented and oh-so-tasty. The staff was friendly but a bit disorganized which led to some wait time. Despite this, the quality of the food makes it a place worth visiting again soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was pleasantly surprised by Sweet Basil! The crab rangoon was perhaps the best I've ever had. The dishes were rich with flavor but I think some could use a pinch more salt. The restaurant is a bit crowded which may make it less intimate than desired, but the vibe feels consistent with a busy bistro which I loved! Planning to visit again soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" It was our first visit and it won't be the last! My family enjoyed a wide array of dishes—from curries to pad Thai, and seafood wrap. Each one was packed with flavor and freshness. I was particularly impressed by the attentiveness of the staff despite how busy they were that night. It truly felt like a special dining experience! Highly recommend 10/10! " (*Curated Review*)

" Visiting Sweet Basil was a delightful experience! The authentic flavors transported me back to Thailand, especially the Massaman Curry which was rich and flavorful. The decor added to the cozy atmosphere, making it perfect for a relaxing evening. The service was attentive and friendly, checking on us just the right amount. I highly recommend their drumsticks and green curry! " (*Curated Review*)

" As a fan of genuine Thai cuisine, Sweet Basil didn’t disappoint! The Tamarind duck was crispy with the juiciest meat I've had. However, I did find the prices a bit on the higher side for the portion sizes compared to some other places. Parking can be tricky in the area too. All in all, a lovely little restaurant worthy of multiple visits! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a lovely dinner at Sweet Basil a few days ago! The ambiance is quaint, perfect for a date night. The massaman curry was super tasty while my partner enjoyed their curry puffs. We had a bit of a wait for the food but it was understandable given how busy they were. The nice thing about that is they give you time to soak in the atmosphere and enjoy each other's company. Overall, I'd recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" Delicious Thai food! The options were varied and full of flavor! The service was pleasant which enhanced the experience, though the wait for food was slightly longer. I suggest sampling multiple dishes with friends; the portion sizes are very generous! I'll certainly recommend it to anyone seeking great Thai dining in Albany. " (*Curated Review*)
