About

Banana Leaf serves Malaysian and Southeast Asian dishes in a colourful dining room with plants, music, and art; the silky-crisp tofu goreng is a review standout. Several dishes can be adapted, but ask about egg and fish or oyster sauce, and note that a reviewer found service slow at the start of dinner.
