First time at Banana Leaf and it was very chill for noon on a Saturday. I had the lychee drink (very sweet but refreshing for a hot day) and the roti kanai with chicken and potato which came out within 5 minutes and was delicious! Will definitely come again

I ordered the chicken satay, roti canai which came with the chicken curry, Chow Keow Teow and Singapore rice noodles. The roti canai was tough, the chow Keow Teow had less salt, was dry and was not tasty. Singapore rice noodles and chicken satay tasted ok. I’ve tasted authentic Malaysian food in Malaysia and this is almost close to the taste but could be better.

My husband, grandson (12-years-old), and myself went here for dinner tonight. We had Thai pineapple rice, mamas chicken, and green tea. The food tasted fresh and delicious! The staff was very polite and made sure we were all comfy and taken cared of, without being overbearing. The atmosphere is low key comfortable. My grandson loves the painted walls.
