The Black Orchid | Thai cuisine - (Near , london)

Fen Felix Had the viral salt and pepper munchie box, absolute amazing! They also allow u to customise the sauce of your choice if u didn’t like the sauce that comes with it , as well as changing the rice type if u didn’t like special rice, services were great. The food got cooked fairly quickly too! Would highly recommend for anyone to try

Tunu Das Best resturent

Jonathan Frewin We were big fans of this place in its rustic former incarnation, so worried about the refurbishment, but fears were unfounded. It’s been done really tastefully and the food is better than we remembered it. Somehow the prices don’t seem to have been bumped up for the renovation either. The pork with black fungus, as well as the aubergine were particularly memorable.

E Jones We had a brilliant evening: my partner and I. The food is wonderful: fresh, hot, and very tasty: chicken pieces grilled with rice and vermicelli, grilled halloumi, hummus, fattoush and wonderful fresh kibbeh. Great selection of drinks (we had cider and campari w/soda). The place has appropriately attentive service and is warm, with great Lebanese music. And the pricing is very reasonable. 5/5 all around. We have been here once before and it is better than ever.

Hassam Ali This pizza is pure fire—crispy crust, gooey cheese, rich sauce, and bold toppings that hit just right. Every bite is packed with flavor and comfort. One slice turns into the whole box before you know it. The toppings are fresh, bold, and loaded just right, whether you’re into classic pepperoni or something spicy and unique. It’s the kind of pizza that hits all the right spots and keeps you reaching for just one more slice. The staff is warm, humble, and always ready with a smile, making the experience even more enjoyable.

Anoop Thomas My wife and I visited Afrizi for our anniversary after a recommendation from a friend, and it was an unforgettable experience from start to finish. The food was incredibly flavourful, fresh, and truly touched our souls with its authenticity - you can tell every dish is made with love and tradition. We enjoyed everything we ordered: the perfectly fried plantains, juicy chicken wings, delicious mutton stew with jollof rice, and the chicken stew with jollof rice. Every bite was a delight! To make our celebration extra special, the lovely team surprised us with complimentary puff-puffs topped with biscoff, coconut, and pistachios - such a thoughtful and delicious touch. The staff were warm, polite, and provided exceptional customer service throughout our meal. We also loved their niche selection of beers and ciders, which paired wonderfully with the food. Overall, it was a 10/10 experience. Afrizi is truly a hidden gem in Basingstoke, and we can’t wait to return to try even more dishes. Highly recommend for anyone looking for authentic Nigerian cuisine and a wonderful dining experience!
