Banana Leaf - South Indian restaurant in Mumbai - Mumbai Suburban, India

I have a deep appreciation for South Indian cuisine, so my expectations are quite high when it comes to dining in such establishments. Banana Leaf's menu offers a wide range of choices, from Kannada to Malayali dishes, which is commendable. The thali stood out as a highlight of my visit, offering a delightful blend of flavors. I also tried the dahi wada, which, while decent, didn't fully satisfy my palate. In terms of food quality and taste, Banana Leaf impressively outperformed most other South Indian restaurants I've been to. However, there's still room for improvement, especially for someone like me, who is passionate about food. One aspect that needs attention is the staff's performance during busy weekends. Though they are well-trained, the weekend rush can sometimes overwhelm them, potentially leading to customer frustration. Addressing this issue could significantly enhance the overall dining experience. Despite these minor concerns, I would recommend Banana Leaf for its diverse South Indian menu and delicious offerings.

Experience was average to good. Special thali is a must try, Overall the food is good, the service is good too. Given the location within R-City, this hotel is a good option to enjoy some authentic South Indian food.

Rasam wada and lots of new variety dosa. Taste is too good and service is nice Here u enjoy food taste. Must visit. . Prices are nominal

We went to Banana Leaf in R City Mall Ghatkopar West twice in two days, and were lucky to find a table easily. It is a bit difficult to get a table here during peak hours. We ordered Veg Mallipuram with Chapati and Yelneer Payasam on the first day, and Dakshini Biriyani, medu vada, and butter milk on the second day. Veg Mallipuram was awesome. It was mildly spicy thick green curry with coconut and mildly sweet, with lots of assorted vegetables. Chapati was made of whole grain wheet, so it was a better choice over lachcha paratha which we confitmed were made of maida. Yelneer payasam was good, but was overpriced for the little quantity they provided, given that coconut is not a rare commodity in Mumbai. For the next order, Butter Milk though tasted good, was served in plastic glasses, which was a disappoitnment. Medu vada plate had 5 medu vadas, crispy but overfermented. Both white and red chutney was good. Sambhar was mildly spicy and sweet. Dakshini Biriyani was cooked in Andhra style, it was mildly spicy and was at par with Behroz or Biryani by Kilo. Staff service was prompt and behavior was polite. Background music was traditional South Indian instrumental on the first day and Flute music on the second day. I feel their thali would be nice too. May visit this place again.

I recently dined at Banana Leaf Restaurant, and it was an absolute delight! The flavors in every dish were exquisite, showcasing a perfect blend of spices and freshness. The variety on the menu impressed me, offering a wide range of choices for different preferences. The presentation of each dish was not only visually appealing but also reflected the attention to detail in the kitchen. The service was top-notch, with a friendly and attentive staff that added to the overall enjoyable experience. The ambiance was inviting, making it a perfect setting for a memorable meal. I highly recommend Banana Leaf for anyone looking to indulge in delicious, authentic cuisine.

Located on the third floor of the RCITY mall adjacent to the Food court. The ambiance transports to the heartland of God's own country. While it specialises mostly from dishes from southern india I was pleasantly surprised to find a few local Mumbai dishes in the menu. I tried a new dish called Kozhukattai bomb. These are rice balls deep fried and served with a good dose of sauteed curry leafy with special spices. It's Mind-blowing. Do not give it a miss They also have introduced a few health drinks that I was tempted to try. I choose a beverage called super health which had apple, pears and lemon juice together. It was above average. Please note the restaurant does not serve alcohol. Apart from that I had Neer dosa and mushroom Sukka. Pls note it's a veg restaurant. Even if you are not a vegetarian do not give this restaurant a miss. Top class food and services

Having recently moved to Mumbai, I was craving for a humble idly vada and this brought me to Banana leaf at RCity, Ghatkopar. It's not easy to satisfy my taste buds as I am originally a Bangalorean. This restaurant claimed to be authentic southy .. however my heightened craving came crashing down When I was served the plate. Pure shock to see two tiny idyls on my plate. It was a joke and an insult to idly. Technically the portion was such that, 2 tiny idlys must have been one piece. I don't think I will be returning to this restaurant ever again My review: Taste : 3.5 Price : 4 Portion: 2 Overall : 3

We visited R City Mall yesterday evening and dined in Banana Leaf as it is famous for South Indian food. The place was decently crowded as it was a weekday. The ambience of the place was mesmerizing as the interiors were influenced by South Indian culture. We ordered a mini meal which included Mushroom Sukka with Neer dosa and Malabar curry with appam. Also we ordered two juices (Pineapple with mint and Golden Juice). Food was served in 15-20 mins and it was well prepared especially Mushroom Sukka. The food was served on Banana leaf kept on a Stainless Steel plate. After the meal we had Filter coffee. Overall, It was a good experience.
