Very very bad service , not satisfied staff is also no cooperating with quests!WORST

To be honest. The servers can’t be helping your quest. There are people who are hungry. Let them serve their guests first. But if you let me know, i’ll be happy to help with your quest.

Is it all halal food?

If we check with MUIS website there isn't halal certificate. When we went there, they pulled up a photocopy Halal certificate in a folder. Funny it doesn't show up in MUIS website. Muslims be more wary.

Fish head curry is a must have and the lime juice. Always opt for the plain rice and use your hands to eat. Yes use your hands.

The food was generally good, comparable to the other good Indian restaurants I have been to. We were there on a Saturday evening at a busy time, and we felt ourselves quite stressed of the service. Full packed with people and line. We waited for water for 15 minutes and needed to remind few times. The best item was their nan. Both garlic and butter nan were very tasty.

One Singaporean friend recommended me this restaurant. It is located in the heart of Little India.I'm terms of food, you have a huge variety of food from different parts of India, which is good. Food is delicious. Portions are a bit little, if we take into account the price you payYou eat on too of a banana leaf, which gives the name of the restaurant.Service can be improved. I found the waiter to be a bit rude and slow when serving.Recommended, although they should improve the service

So this is a very popular restaurant for south Indian food. Their fish head curry is very popular. The food otherwise is also good. I love their biryani. Quite exclusive. The hygiene and staff and service is top notch.

After eating there for over a decade with seasoned indian taste buds, i conclude that venue has lessen the traditional mouth watering spices once served without fancy cutlery. Now cooked to serve non indians who seek indian food so that they may revisit.

I was a fan of Fish head curry. But standard has dropped recently during my two visits. I think they now boiled the fish head separately and mix with curry only when you order. Fish meat has no taste at all and can see all white inside. Really disappointed. Management should do something to bring back the flavourful fish head curry.

Seriously NO STAR AT ALL.Dine in for a basic common set meal - eventually was being billed as ar-la- carte meal???The bill tag amount is Double compare to the same meal I had with other restaurants.The order taker claim was - there is no set meal for my choice of meal - and thought that I was a regular and I should have known????they did not highlight nor inform me about it when I place my meal of choice as a set meal.Question and fired the order taker who acknowledge his mistake yet didn't apologize? Poor restaurant and staff management. Its clear this restaurant is Only keen to make money from diners and clearly no service recovery ethics. PoorTerrible place and yet claimed to be reputed with awards???A smaller or lesser know restaurant can do much better!!! with proper service and customer satisfaction for sure!!!

The best mouth watering Indian cuisines that any tourists who are into spicy food. The fish head curry is a top choice in their menu besides all the different types of dishes. They will serve everything on a banana leaf with a choice of scooping your food with your fingers which always caught all my foreign friends off guard...which has created it’s uniqueness!!! Always hit the spot whenever I was in Singapore:))

We lived in Singapore from 2005-2006 and were brought here by Singaporean friends. We returned again in 2019 when we moved back to Singapore and we could not believe how incredibly amazing it still was! Every item we have had is beyond delicious. It’s good to see some things never change.

Food arrived 2 hours after intended time.This was after 4 phonecalls and during each phonecall, it was promised "driver on the way, just 20min". Well... Singapore must be very big...Completely shirked responsibility by putting all the blame on driver - "called driver already, not our fault"....Well... Food quality is 60% of what is expected. Seasoning of all curries was off, texture of mutton dry and tough, seafood not as fresh as it should be and lastly rice was mushy.1 star rating is 1 star too many.

The restaurant is just beside the road so it's convenient. However parking is a chore as there are limited lots.Seating is fair and the seat is not too comfortable. Food is good.The curry fish has typical thick and spicy Indian curry. The rice is well cooked and the poppadoms are just nice and not too salty.Service....as with most Indian restaurants is very very slow and they may just mix up your order so do make sure you get what you asked for.Fish head curry serving is big but the rest of the meat orders are rather small so be warned.

Friends visit here and there experience I show I one feedback This was served with Masala Dosa at Banana Leaf in Sector V. The restaurant does not have a fresh banana leaf to serve the food. While asked the helping boy to change, he replied that leaf is out of stock. How do they maintain the name or fame of the restaurant as Banana Leaf wherein no fresh leaf is available to serve?

This is the usual place we head to when craving for south indian food.One of the few places still serving fish roe fried nicely with light coating. The fish cutlet is also a wonderful blend of spice flavours and textures that I'd highly recommend. It isn't just the usual "fish-flavoured, potato patty".
