    The Banana Leaf Restaurant and Café is a truly unique venue in the heart of the city. During the day it's an up-market yet informal café, ideal for casual catch-ups.

    There's a large seating area outside which provides a great a-la-carte option. By night it transforms into an exclusive dining restaurant at café prices.

    The food is out of this world too; a careful blend of bush tucker and Sri Lankan spices and a range of black and white curries.

    If you haven't been here before, Banana Leaf is definitely worth a try. The food and service are both great.

    Yes, a little on the expensive side, but the food was so good and they're quite vegan friendly. Highly recommended.

      Not a bad place. The meals are quite expensive, but the food is good. Not great value for money, but I'd probably go back.   (Livetolunch - See my reviews (23) - September, 2008)

      I ate there only once. Food is OK, nice presentation but small portion. Too expensive for everyday lunch. DT.   (See my reviews (2) - November, 2007)

      I thought that the meals were very overpriced. Corkage was very expensive and the toilets were very unclean.   (Chris - February, 2007)
