Good for a change.

Basilicom is a great place to eat when you want a change from spicy Asian cooking. We had the humus and mushroom bowl with flatbread and a quinoa salad. We weren't sure that it would be enough for us, but actually we struggled to finish.
A lively and busy restaurant.

Pros: Vegan options

The perfect feast

I was super hungry when we arrived so we ordered a sweet potato, aubergine starter, hummus with pittas, 6 falafel balls, and zataar bread. Very filling and very tasty!

Pros: Lots of tasty options

Cons: Bit salty (my boyfriend said it was perfect)

Pocas opciones veganas

Pedimos el humus con falafel por las buenas recomendaciones aquí y la verdad que no es para tanto. Encima con un pan blando tipo bimbo que no estoy segura si no llevaría leche. También pedimos la berenjena con tahini y no nos gustó. Además para lo que pedimos nos pareció caro.

Cons: Pocas opciones veganas , Caro

Excellent hummus and falafel on Samui!

It's not a vegan or vegetarian restaurant, but there's a variety of safe options like falafel, hummus plates, salads, bread (more options for ovo-vegetarians). And I must say, their falafel and hummus deserve an honorable mention- much better than Falafel Factory's.

Not sure why some dishes are a good deal, while others are so expensive - 180 baht for a basic salad O_o

Best hummus in Samui

The hummus at Basilicom is just amazing. In my opinion, the best in Koh Samui.
The falafels are also some of the best I've had. Other dishes I particularly enjoyed are the roasted baladi eggplant and the focaccia (different flavors available, just tell them no cheese).
After eating more than a few times at Basilicom I can say that the service is, to be nice, hit and miss which is a bit of a shame. Waiters are often shouting at each other and you can tell they rather be somewhere else. This aside, strongly recommended for their hummus and falafel!

Homemade falafel & hummus, great coffee!!

Stopped here for lunch as nearby falafel factory wasn’t open and had cravings for falafel!! Really friendly staff, hubs & I ordered hummus & falafel plate each with homemade Israeli bread and sweet potato wedges to share, hummus was lovely and comes with 4 falafels each and pickles/chilli sauce. Sweet potato also had tahini dressing and we left super full! Finished with Turkish coffee which was 👌🏻. Total bill about £15. Down a side street next to Chaweng Muay Thai stadium just off Chaweng Main Street. More veggie than vegan but enough options that you can change things up of on holiday, highly recommend 🥙

Pros: Vegan options, Next to Chaweng Muay Thai stadium , Friendly staff

Disgusting uncaring staff

Disgusted and angry me and my husband ordered the vegan pad Thai as it was clearly labelled with 2 'v' symbols. The waitress consequently asked if we want chicken or vegetarian so I clarified again we want the vegan option and pointed at the symbol on the menu. Halfway through eating it was looking and wondering what these yellow prices were thinking they could be tofu. We asked a waiter what it is and they said egg. This place should not be listed on happy cow as the staff clearly need better training. It's misrepresenting food as vegan and feeding it to unsuspecting customers. Nobody should eat here if they don't know what vegan actually is

Cons: Fed us non vegan food they claimed was vegan

Fed us egg!

Genuinely Livid. Everything was great until half way through eating the vegan Pad Thai. We specifically asked for the vegan Pad Thai and triple checked that it was vegan "yes yes yes". Whilst eating the food my Wife noticed some small yellow pieces we assumed must have been tofu... You know? Since we asked explicitly for the Vegan option that was marked vegan. What do you know. Turns out it was egg. Either there is just 0 care or the kitchen require educating on what Vegan means. Very disappointed as we unintentionally ate egg really really poor service.

Cons: Fed us egg when we explitly asked for vegan

Good vegan and vegetarian options in central location

Located in the heart of Chaweng, lots of vegetarian and vegan options. Hummos and falafal is the best in Samui.

Pros: Lots of options

Disappointed, but okay.

Terrible pizza. Good staff, nice atmosphere. A few Vegan options. The mushroom hummus was yum. The Eggplant Pizza which was “recommended” on their menu was terrible - basically just a base with a tiny bit of eggplant.

Pros: Good atmosphere, Delicious mushroom hummus, Good value for money

Cons: Terrible Pizza, Only a few vegan options.

Not that vegan friendly after all

At the first sight you think there are a lot of vegan and especially vegetarian dishes but then you have another look at the menu and see that this isn’t true - tuna dishes are considered vegetarian...
There was no plant based milk options for coffee and didn’t serve potatoes in the morning. Falafel hummus was okay but not the best I’ve had. Juices were very fresh and nice. Quite pricy for the quality and variety of offerings.

Pros: Very good fresh juices, Nice deco and seatings

Cons: Not so many vegan options , Expensive for the quality

Unfortunately had poor service

I ordered 3 starters for my dinner. The dishes arrived at least 10 min apart and the third dish never arrived. I enquired, but still nothing, while tables seated after me were being served starters and then mains. I paid and left unhappy. It is a shame, as the food I had was yummy. Also, cash only.

Too oily / greasy / pre-packed

Wasn’t impressed with the food offering here at all. Food is super oily and greasy. Nothing appears to be made fresh (could be wrong but certainly tasted that way). Not recommended.

Pros: Vegan options, Air con, Good if you’re looking to have a heart attack

Cons: Oily , Not freshly made, Greasy

Lovely Hummus and great coffee

We had an excellent hummus with lovely white flat bread. The banoffi with coffee for dessert was tasty as well.

Delicious Food!

The food here is great, if a little pricey. Rather than going for a main meal, I tend to go for 2 starters which ends up cheaper, I love the falafel and baked potato. They also have a very reasonably priced local flavour part of the menu, serving Thai food as well as Israeli food. Pad Thai and spring rolls are both vegan and are delicious!

Pros: Vegan items marked on the menu, Delicious falafel and tahini sauce

Cons: A bit expensive
