Banana Leaf - (Near Redbridge, South East)

5 /5 Cani Seb: We experienced a delicious and unique experience at The Banana Leaf, the meal served from a shovel was a hit with our group of 3. It was truly authentic flavors and serving generous portions at a reasonable price. Highly recommend.

5 /5 Kobika Sivakadadcham: The food was absolutely delicious, and the restaurant is well known for its signature shovel food. We especially loved the seafood selection more than the meat. The rice served with the shovel platter was very flavourful and perfectly cooked. The fish fry was outstanding — incredibly soft on the inside and crispy on the outside. The large shovel platter is generous enough for four adults and costs £75. It includes one large fish fry, four omelettes, crabs, prawns, squid, chicken, and lamb. Parking was a bit challenging to find, and the parking charges were quite high. If anyone knows a convenient or affordable parking option nearby, please do share. Overall, the service and atmosphere were excellent, making it a very enjoyable dining experience

5 /5 Lavanjan Than: Banana Leaf feels like a foodie paradise in Ilford! From the first bite to the last, every dish is loaded with bold South Indian flavours. Both veg and non-veg dishes are incredibly tasty, perfectly cooked, and beautifully seasoned. Loved the textures, the aromas, and the spice balance. If you enjoy flavourful, soul-warming food, this place is a must-visit!
