Banana Leaf — Restaurant in London

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? 👀 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....? 👀 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 💁🏾‍♀️💁🏾‍♀️💁🏾‍♀️ 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...

I would give zero stars if I could. Maybe management has changed but I have been ordering vegetarian set meals for a few years now. The portion size, amount of food, number of variety curries has been exceptional until my last order with them. I ordered for 4 people, and I got food for 2 people. When I phoned the store and questioned this, first the girl was really uninterested and rude. She gave me the owner's number who was standing right next to her. When I phoned the owner he argued I would like to order food for 10 people but have ordered for 2, even though I ordered 4 set meals. I called people over for lunch, so 30 minutes prior to that they showed no responsibility and called me someone silly. Me the customer. Moreover, they said they are happy to send the food but won't bare the cost of delivery. Then he phoned back and said delivery is £25. Which is the cost of 2 veg set meals. It's like he used all tactics to avoid me at all costs. I would never order from them again and urge you to also go somewhere else. Maybe Coconut Bay restaurant (across the junction) or Sambal Express in Barking side.

Firstly, consistency is key. Secondly when you are in the food business you are filling people's stomachs. You are fulfilling their hunger. If you can't do that, close shop and find something else to do that doesn't require your poor handling of...

watch out for fake reviews about this place

i have been here 2x in my life and both have been really really bad

the 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 full

i went back a year later, here is todays review i 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 walls i ordered chicken in spinich masala, and some kinda nann by 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...
