About Holy Basil Canley Heights

Holy Basil turns suburban Canley Heights dinners into lively celebrations fueled by punchy Lao and Thai share plates. Crowds fill the stylish room for generous spreads of crispy snapper, smoky marinated lamb, and fiery pad kee mao dished out fast from the open kitchen. The essential move is saving room for dessert—a crisp filo pastry triangle filled with deep-fried ice cream, dressed with fresh passion fruit and toasted coconut.

  • Filo-Wrapped Fried Ice Cream: Skip the round battered balls; this house specialty encases ice cream in crisp filo pastry triangles alongside passion fruit and toasted coconut.
  • Vibrant Group Feasts: Suburban crowds gather over big share plates of crispy snapper, smoky charcoal lamb, and duck curries arriving quickly from the open kitchen.

  • Signature Filo-Wrapped Fried Ice Cream

    Rather than standard spherical battered scoops, Holy Basil encases its signature ice cream in delicate, crisp filo pastry wedges.

    Instead of fried in a ball of batter, this is fried in filo pastry for about a minute and is shaped in a triangular wedge.

  • Fried Ice Cream

    This is a signature dish, and although it is almost $20, it was a great dessert. Instead of fried in a ball of batter, this is fried in filo pastry for about a minute and is shaped in a triangular wedge. I strongly recommend it.

Before you head over

Practical tips on queues, parking, and must-order signatures for your visit

  • Account for Walk-In Wait Times

    Because walk-in waits can stretch to 30 minutes during peak times, plan ahead or arrive during quieter off-peak lunch windows.

  • Save Room for the Filo Ice Cream

    Save room for Holy Basil's standout triangular filo-wrapped fried ice cream, served with toasted coconut and fresh passionfruit.

  • Check the Rear Free Parking Lot

    Street parking can fill up during peak dinner rushes, so check the lot behind the venue for one hour of free parking.
