Banana Tree - London

Delicious food and fast and nice service. The chicken dumplings were unbelievable, and the special beef curry was also delicious. Highly recommend this place.

My first visit at this restaurant We have been waiting for someone to take our drink Order a while The food came quick but had less flavour .

Food: We ordered the sweet and sour crispy chicken, the banana tree special spicy wok noodles, jasmine rice and egg fried riceThe food was OK.

I booked a table online for 7 people in the evening after a performance at the theatre (5 mins walk to the Lyric theatre). When booking online if the time you’d like isn’t an option to select just put it in the special request box. When we arrived we waited a few minutes to be seated and our waitress took our orders within about 8/9 minutes. They have a QR code on the table that you scan to view the menu and pay. The restaurant did have paper(physical menus) which helped so much just ask your waiter. Food was so tasty and seasoned very well. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their meal I personally recommend the Prawn Laksa, a fair amount of large prawns given too I’m rather knowledgeable about laksa anyway and this was rather authentic. The chicken dumplings are absolutely scrumptious !! The beef rendang was a little bit dry but tasty albeit. I had the chicken thai green curry as a main and I expected the sauce to be a tad thicker as I’m used to that. This was almost like a broth. Still tasty and lots of veg. Everyone’s mains were rather large/generous portions so much so that we asked for a few takeaway containers. The only reason I haven’t rated this 5 ’s is because of the cocktail I had which was a ‘Rangoon Zombie’ it’s supposed to be a strong cocktail but honestly it tasted like very sweet fruit juice, little to no alcohol at all I didn’t even finish it because it was so sickly sweet. Happy hour is also all day,everyday. It’s a very casual restaurant and quite relaxed don’t need to dress up at all and the seating is quite close, we had a bench and the bench beside almost looked as if we were all together. Overall 4 4.5 . I would visit again. Pictured: prawn laksa, Thai green curry and my cocktail £36pp service charge is optional

Fab, super patient person serving, helpful, accommodating, honest, authentic. Great atmosphere, nice music, the veggie chicken was impressive. We came in as a bit of a last resort as other restaurants were closing but ended up having a great evening!
