About Basil Nut Asian Kitchen

An unassuming Mosman fixture delivering hearty Southeast Asian comfort food, Basil Nut keeps locals fed without the Military Road price tag. Midday crowds pop in for quick beef-and-basil plates and steaming noodle soups, while dinner shifts to unpretentious shared tables on the alfresco patio. Bring along your own bottle of wine—corkage is welcomed—to sip alongside fragrant duck curry or rich Massaman laden with tender chunks of lamb and kumera.

  • Substantial Slow-Cooked Curries: Massaman features tender braised meat and sweet kumera instead of thin slivers, alongside rich duck curries.
  • BYO Wine & Alfresco Patio: Dine casually indoors or outdoors on the patio with your own wine to pair with dinner.
  • Swift Midday Specials: Quick lunch specials and single-plate stir-fries deliver reliable Thai comfort at approachable prices.
