Lily's - Basel

The most overpriced and ungenerous restaurant ever they just added all the random dishes from like 5 different countries (Thai, Indian, Korean, Japanese, Vietnamese….. with the worst quality possible. I had a Tom Kha Gai and ordered a large one which is supposed to always be eaten with rice, but we had to add on rice separately. Super dry rice and overly salty soup. Spring rolls are vegetarian but they just added a bunch of noodles into it. Super odd and tasted like nothing. We ordered a Pho bowl and it was probably the only thing okay to eat. And the sakura drink was nothing different of just bare water. Not forget to mention, the staff was so rude. Disappointing!

They have here menu from exotic countries. And they are delicious!

Delicious food. It takes forever for the order to arrive. Waited 30 minutes for the drinks. Almost 1 hour for the food.

Somehow you seem to like it or not. I've been there twice now. I like it very much. Varied menu, original drinks, some of which I didn't know before, service was quite quick, despite both being full house, once even very accommodating because I was short on time for a lecture in the Volkshaus. I think the prices are reasonable for Swiss standards, even if the portions might be marginally larger. Hectic operations during peak hours. You go here to eat something original in a useful amount of time, not to block the table for hours with a drink.

Very fun place, nice people, food fusion exciting.
