| - My first time here, I went with a date closer to the end of the night. While in line, we talked to the family behind us, and the mom informed us that she had lunch earlier that day for the first time at Banana Leaf, and it was so delicious that she's here now with her family for dinner. Major thumbs up already.
Our server, Christina(?) was so helpful. Whenever we asked about what she recommends, she went above and beyond and gave informative, and friendly advice. When I ordered a drink, she recommended a different flavour combination as the one I ordered can taste a bit 'weird'. I trusted her and have no regrets. I think we ordered two drinks that night.
My date ordered the curry beef brisket dish. The beef brisket is so tender and well flavoured (heat is there, but not sweat and tears inducing LOL). The cucumbers were fresh and a nice break from the curry. I am a peanut fanatic, and their peanuts were perfectly roasted and seasoned (if you're allergic, be sure to inform them!).
I ordered one of their laksas with the yellow noodles (my fav), but I hear it's also fun if you order half vermicelli and half yellow noodles. The two things that are the stars of Banana Leaf (besides their laksas) are the roti, so buttery and flaky but crispy at the same time); and their shredded fish tofu (???), well fried tofu and the fish and sambal sauce that go with it have been the stuff of my dreams.
At the end of the night, after the kitchen has closed, I forgot to order a bubble tea for my brother. Once i ordered, Christina made the drink right away with no problem.
Thanks for the excellent and welcoming service, and the yumma food, Banana Leaf!
