Could be better, service is bit slow but friendly. Some food are okay and some are not. No free parking.

Been going here for a few years now and havent had a bad meal yet.We travel over 20 miles to eat here so surely thats proof enough for good food.They are always crazy busy when we go on weekend and they run around like mad to please all customers.The place is looking a little tired but in a way it reminds me a little bit of sri lanka and I like it.

Worst Restaurant I ever have been. Ordered masala Dosa, Biryani, gobhi 65. Waited more then one hour for our order and then all Dosas was burned Sambar and Biryani was cold. Will never ever visit in this restaurant again.

I ordered Vegetable Kottu roti and Chilli Paneer for takeaway. When we started to taste the food the Chilli Paneer tasted awful with a strong bad smell. Glad that we tasted some before we added the Chilli Paneer to our dinner plate. Im going to return this this to the store .Attention to the Banana leaf management: Please advise the staff to concentrate on the food quality and the basic hygiene of the food. In this case they have served me spoilt food.

I stepped into the shop with my wife exactly on 12.52 pm and ordered before 1 pm. Ordered the food, and the starter ( One portion utthapam ) came after 20 minutes. And for the rest of the food I had to wait till 1.35 and I was still waiting. Then I have asked them to pack as it was taking way too long. Then waited another few minutes and I lost my patience and left the restaurant. I paid for the lunch but it was taking way to long to prepare and forget the take way. So I left the restaurant without any meal and take away.The chefs were having a chat for good 30 minutes and everyone was so careless. Only the girl taking the order tried to do something and tired to do something, but the rest was damn careless and useless.

Where to start? For the very first time in my life, I had to throw the take away food to bin, as it made me very sick after a handful. Poor food quality, sometimes I wonder, how they are in business. Hope I don’t end up in A&E.

This was The Worst Restaurant I think iv ever been to in terms of service hands down! They told us they were busy on the phone and couldn't seat 9 people, and when we get there there was only two couples in the whole place and ample space to fit 20 people? So that was the first thing secondly we waited an hour for out starters to come and another family that came in got starters and main before we even had drinks? Before we knew it they were out the door just as we was about to eat our first thing?!? And then we se of us ordered main meals some didn't because the service was poor we were sitting silence no music no TV on nothing and they had it there and when we asked can we have something on in the back ground the women just kept saying huh? And looking at me? πŸ‘€ It was very awkward tbh... I asked for a bottle of water and it was warm? I had to ask for glasses and she brought 6 like she didn't see 9 of us sitting down??!? And when I asked for more she tutted and started muttering under her breath? So I'm like babes are you okay....? πŸ‘€ It was alot so I paid for what I actually ate took my family and left and went Morleys across the road! The bbq wings were divine πŸ’πŸΎβ€β™€οΈπŸ’πŸΎβ€β™€οΈπŸ’πŸΎβ€β™€οΈ but as for this leaf place, dead that.... However I will say just because I'm Not biased the food that I Did taste was actually nice it was only a starter of chicken ň stuff it was well seasoned but had bare unnecessary onions and I love onions.... But there ws alot. But because of the rudeness and poor service its a No from me.....

watch out for fake reviews about this placei have been here 2x in my life and both have been really really badthe first time very bad in house service, I even told the waiter who didn't really seem to care, gave me an excuse of we get more telephone orders, Saturday 7pm 3of 8 tables were fulli went back a year later, here is todays reviewi thought i would see if anything had changed, nothing, if anything it has gotten worse.the TV was up soooo loud shortly after i sat down, i could not even hear the waiter, i tried telling him that it was up too loud and he looked at me with out even flinching, he did offer to turn it down.The table was dirty, the menu was falling apart as well.Dirty wallsi ordered chicken in spinich masala, and some kinda nannby the way they don't do keema nann, or Peshwari, so i ended up with some greesy thin piece of bread that was falling apart as i was eating it.|The chicken tasted like a reheat, the pieces were very small, and it was less than warm, within about 5 minutes the food was cold, also there was so much oil in the source you could see it on top, there was about 4 tables of oil in the source.The waiter didn't speak very good english. I'd hate to think what the kitchen looks like.i attached a photo, this was taken about 3/4 in the afternoon on a SATURDAY, there is a reason why its so empty
