Banana Leaves Asian Cafe - Rockville

Make sure to give this place a shot! The first time I visited, I ordered the Indian pancakes (roti canai), and they were so delicious that I had to compliment the chef. They were like a delightful combination of a croissant and a pancake—so buttery and flaky, especially paired with a tasty curry for dipping. I absolutely love this little spot, and I want to highlight that the staff is doing their best as a small business during these challenging times.

I absolutely love this restaurant for my vegetarian cravings. They offer a great variety of veggie dishes, and I highly recommend the veggie meat sesame chicken—it’s my favorite! The portion sizes are generous for the prices, and their lunch specials are plentiful. I’ve ordered from them even when I'm outside their delivery area, and they always deliver promptly and accurately. The only downside I’d mention is that the café is quite small, so there isn't much of an in-house dining experience due to the limited seating at the front. Because of this, I recommend ordering takeout.
