Banana Leaf on Davie offers authentic Malaysian cuisine with friendly service and a cozy interior. The restaurant has recently been renovated, adding air conditioning that enhances the dining experience. Customers often praise the authentic flavors and excellent Malaysian hospitality, noting that dishes like the mee goreng and pisang goreng taste very good. The Laksa is described as phenomenal, offering a comforting yet spicy flavor that satisfies various cravings. The restaurant is quiet, making it a good place to enjoy a meal in a calm environment. Service is fast and pleasant, with staff understanding spice preferences and refilling water regularly. Specials like the $15 curry on the sign outside offer great value that may not be listed on the website. The pineapple seafood chicken fried rice is hearty and well-liked, while the goreng tofu is less impressive. Parking on Davie Street is easy to find. Customers can choose from vegetarian options such as assam curry tofu and vegetables, which stand out, or the popular roti canai appetizer, buttery and paired with a rich curry dip. The noodles, like kuey teow, are a favorite dish for many, almost as good as in Malaysia, though some find them a bit oily. Dishes like the eggplant fries, shrimp wontons, and Asian salad are also enjoyed, with the salad being particularly refreshing. Portions are generous, often enough for takeaway or to leave satisfied. The restaurant tends to be quiet, making it suitable for a calm meal, though wait times can be longer when the place isn’t busy. Overall, Banana Leaf on Davie remains a fantastic spot for Malaysian dishes, offering amazing flavors and reasonable prices.
