Sweet Basil - Harrogate

For an English style Chinese restaurant it was not bad at all. The food was quite tasty (though I never can understand why chefs who are stir frying feel the need to use pre cooked meat fresh meat is so much tastier). I sat for 15 minutes after eating my main course waiting to be asked if I would like a desert, drink or coffee but no one came so in the end I just went to the bar to pay and left.

Delicious, delicious, friendly, filling and not expensive. I was just looking for a gas station to use the restroom, but I accidentally discovered this paradise in a food desert country. It was great! grateful!

Driven past many times and always wondered what it was like. And now I know blummin great! Had a lovely meal here, good sized portions, freshly cooked, piping hot and most importantly very tasty. All the staff are super friendly.

The Chinese food is not pure, probably because there are not many Chinese people around, and it mainly serves British local Western-style Chinese food. Overall it's okay.

Revisited in May 24. What a disappointment. Cafe type tables and chairs. Tap water on the rable already when we arrived. Was it ours or left from previous occupants? No placemats on the tables, and tables were not laid. There we no dish warmers to keep the food warm whilst eating. One starter did not arrive having been missed from the order, despite us asking twice if it had been ordered. Generally the service was not good. We had to ask twice for more tao water. One meal was so salty it was almost inedible, and there was no reaction when we mentioned this in reply to is everything OK? All in all this is no longer a dining experience, but a large cafe.
