Banana Leaf Thao Dien

My Indian friend invited me here. She and her husband have tried at least six different Indian restaurants in the city, and they said they come back to this place most frequently. My friend explained that although the waitstaff are Vietnamese, the chef is from India. They have upgraded their menu; it is a book of more than 60 pages. They feature North Indian, South Indian, Malaysian and Chinese cuisine, with veg or non-veg options. It appears to be quite small, but the second floor they have at least one other room with more seating available. The decor is quite simple; pleasant instrumental music is played softly. Because Indian food is meant to be eaten with your fingers rather than utensils (although they do provide eating utensils), they have two handwashing basins tucked into the corner (one on the ground floor just outside the kitchen and one on the second floor outside the toilet). Very limited motorbike parking. There were quite a number of delivery orders, but few customers who dined in; the Vietnamese waitstaff had private phone calls which they put on speakerphone or video calls with their friends in Vietnamese, which was rather noisy and distracting. 😕 I give it four stars based on the recommendation of my Indian friends.

Quite Boring and basic indian food in a venue that also feels Boring and basic. Nothing wrong with the food just nothing special. Veggies felt fresh and it seemed clean. Lots of vegetarian options.

I randomly picked this place for my lunch, didn’t expect much because I’m really into Indian food but it turned out I pretty much like this place. The first surprise is that it serves not only Indian food but Malaysian, Chinese and others (can’t recall when writing this review). So, it kinda suits for a group of friends looking for something new in Thao Dien. It always provides with 2 options: vegetarian and non-vegetarian. Food: I ordered a set in the picture (never had it before). The bread and the sources worked really well with each other and I enjoyed the set. This set would be for two adults but the waiter told me it is for one 🤪, so quite a lot left over. The price was very reasonable in the area and compare the quality of the food they served

Had an amazing dining experience at Banana Leaf! The food quality and quantity were both excellent — every dish was flavorful and satisfying. What truly stood out was the exceptional service. A special thanks to Ms. Asisah, whose warmth, attentiveness, and customer-centric approach made the visit even more memorable. She truly went above and beyond to ensure we had a great time. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for delicious food paired with top-notch hospitality!

It's indian restaurant. They have North and South Indian dishes and also Malasian foods. The curry is a bit expensive, but still ok as the location. I had Biryani and was really good. The shop is clean and comfortable. The serving time was also acceptable. Their menus were a lot, so I want to try more here.
