Basil Leaf Description:
A destination for exotic cuisine in this Carrollton-area neighborhood, Basil Leaf is reliable, but not outstanding. Menu items gracefully combine tradition and innovative nuances, pleasing both the eye and the palate. Some good choices include a seared pork-and-shrimp dumpling served in a pool of cilantro-infused soy vinaigrette; a young, green coconut filled with shrimp, scallops, eggplant and red curry with the coconut's own meat, water and milk; a nicely fried soft-shell crab; and mee krob, a nest of crispy fried noodles studded with roasted shrimp, chicken and fresh vegetables in a wine and chili reduction. The cozy dining room is complemented by the live oaks arching across South Carrollton Avenue, just outside the windows. For what it offers, Basil Leaf's prices are a bit high.
