Let me start off by saying that the staff was very polite and helpful! The food was also amazing! We got the Tom Yum Soup, pineapple rice, black pepper chicken, and Optum Tofu. Very well balanced with spices. The restaurant was very clean and well set. It was busy, but understandable because the overall restaurant experience was amazing!

It was our first time here and we loved the food. Warm hosts and great ambience. The only thing that I didn’t like was that the tables were a little too close to each other. Apart from that, delicious food and a great experience.

All of us were vegetarians and we legit were heavy after trying out such different options. The food quantity varied in each dish. A couple didn’t feel enough but the rest of them were good. Highly recommend checking this place out.

Do reserve a table as this place is pretty busy.

I recently visited the restaurant and ordered the Vegan Nasi Goreng, but I received pineapple fried rice with cauliflower and raisins instead. Although the restaurant was empty, we were seated next to the restroom, which was not ideal. Additionally, they didn’t ask for my preferred spice level. Despite these issues, my husband really enjoys the food and this place, which is why he brought me here. Unfortunately, I regret the visit.

Very popular restaurant, some dishes are better than others but flavors fall a bit short of Malaysia imo. Mixed satay takes a while but is grilled quite well. The roti is a little too crisp and papery on the edges. The char kway teow was tasty but could have had a bit more wok hei. The kangkung with belacan is a generous portion and not too funky. The beef rendang lacked a bit of depth and beef was perhaps a little too tender to the point of shredding. The assam pomfret was decent tasting but on the bony side. Skip the Kueh dessert, it’s not right at all.

Good Parking, But Poor Value and Service Needs Improvement
​Overall Rating: 2.5/5 (Okay for a one-time try, but not returning)

​We made a reservation for four people several hours in advance (4:00 PM for a 7:00 PM sitting) and found the telephone booking process smooth and efficient. Another significant positive was the ample parking available in the shared lot—always a plus.
​Ambiance and Seating (3/5)
​While we were seated immediately upon arrival, the table provided was unfortunately in a high-traffic area, right next to the kitchen and employee station. For a reserved party, this was a disappointing location, making it difficult to enjoy the meal as we felt constantly in the way. I highly recommend that management prioritize giving reserved guests quieter, better-located seating areas.
​Service Experience (2.5/5)
​Our waiter approached us almost instantly, but the service felt passive-aggressive and extremely rushed. Despite clearly communicating that we needed a few minutes to decide, the waiter returned multiple times in rapid succession, pressuring us to place our order quickly. This lack of patience and pushiness significantly detracted from the start of our evening.
​Food Quality and Value (2.5/5)
​We ordered the pineapple rice (which was beautifully presented inside a carved pineapple) and another entrée. While the food was decent and perfectly “okay,” it was by no means “super great.” The main issue, however, was the value for money. We found the dishes to be overpriced, especially when considering the insufficient portion sizes provided. Given the cost, we expected better quality and more generous servings.
​Final Thoughts
​The restaurant is acceptable for a single visit, especially if you are craving that type of cuisine, but the combination of poor seating, rushed service, and a high price point for small portions means that the overall experience was ultimately underwhelming. I will likely not be coming back again.

Good food, tasty. Portion is decent. Staff is friendly. Quick served. Plenty seats but be ready to wait in busy hours. Recommended if you’re craving for South East Asian cuisine.

We had a team lunch here. I tried sizzling vegetables entre, roti parantha, tofu curry and eggplant curry. All items were delicious and quantity was sufficient. Staff was helpful and polite. The place is packed with people!

I came back here after a while, and the food is still just as delicious as I remembered. It does get busy quickly during lunch, but since I arrived around 11:40, I was seated right away with no wait. I love that you can try a variety of dishes, and everything tastes great. The prices are very reasonable too. Some items felt a little on the salty side, but overall, the flavors were really enjoyable. Definitely a place worth coming back to.

Had dinner with my family at Banana Leaf, and the food was flavorful and enjoyable overall. The Malaysian- and Southeast Asian–inspired dishes are rich with aromatic spices and vibrant combinations — from savory curries and roti to noodle and rice options — all delivering satisfying and diverse tastes. Many dishes feel authentic and fresh, and the menu has lots of variety to explore. Some items stood out with bold flavors, though others were more subtle. The restaurant can get quite busy and loud, which made conversation a bit challenging at times, but the food remains the real highlight of the visit.

I would rate this a 5/5 on food only problem(that wasn’t my fault) was that the phad Thai was a little too spicy. Also service was awesome, we had good waiters and also got a mango sticky rice dessert on the house. I really enjoyed it. The vegetarian dishes and options are also really good. Would highly recommend to people who like Indian food. Also would recommend the parotha, spring rolls, and the fried ice cream. Thank you
