Banana leaf - Indian Restaurant in Redondo Beach

"Banana leaf is a restaurant serving authentic Indian cuisine! They have an abundant variety of dishes and for the ones I’ve tried, they greatly satisfied me! I come from Singapore and have greatly missed the hawker (food court like) dishes, noticing the roti paratha, curry, and dosai I knew I had to come try their dishes. I was eager to try their dosa but unfortunately it was sold out. In spite of that, I was able to try Andhra Chicken Curry (The server’s recommendation and at spicy spice level) ), roti, paratha, and garlic naan, of which I greatly enjoyed. Their Andhra Chicken Curry exhumed herby and soothing spice aromatics and was buttery, comfortably spicy, with a thick and flavorful gravy, dipping their crispy and starchy roti into the curry made a perfect combo. Banana leaf’s paratha also reminded me of Indian flavors being fluffy, having a stretchy tear with some aromatics. The garlic naan had its own flavors that hid in the curry but by itself was fresh, slightly savory, bubbly, and delicious. The server also consistently checked up on me, which is appreciated! I have definitely missed out on Banana leaf and will one-hundred-percent come back to try another dish (Hopefully the dosai!)."

""Absolutely Delicious South Indian Delights! I recently dined at Banana Leaf, and it was an incredible culinary experience. From the moment I walked in, the aroma of freshly ground spices filled the air, setting the stage for what was to come. The menu offered a wide variety of South Indian dishes, from crispy dosas to flavorful curries and aromatic rice dishes. I opted for the masala dosa, and it was hands down the best I've ever had. The dosa was perfectly crispy, and the potato filling was seasoned to perfection. Each bite was a burst of flavor that left me craving more. The ambiance of the restaurant was also lovely, with warm lighting and tasteful decor that added to the overall dining experience. They also have live band music performances and good selection of beer and wine which just adds up!! Overall, I highly recommend to anyone looking for authentic South Indian cuisine. It's a true gem that never disappoints!""

"Their kadhai paneer is pyaaz ki sabji with some paneer cubes for the namesake. Worst Kadhai paneer I have ever tasted. 90% onion Also their breads do not said if it is wheat roti or all purpose flour. What type of paratha etc. Should add that to description."
