A family-owned and -operated business, Thai Basil is one of Capitola's best Thai restaurants, with a homey feel and the most excellent curry in town. Inside there are a few tables on both ends of the building; the outside seating is very nice, with a constant smell of the ocean in the air. The decently sized, to-die-for menu has interesting items like mint chicken and pad Thai; if you get the chance, try the yellow curry.
