“ Such good prices for such great food. Service was very nice, portions were good, and their menu caters to a lot of different diets. Indian Mexican food is a delicious combo you dont want to miss out on. The chicken currito is a must. ”
“ What a hidden gem! I love cooking, and I often find myself disappointed when spending money on dining outbut wow. I ordered the salmon tikka masala, and not only was it the best tikka masala Ive ever had, but the balance of flavors, the freshness of the ingredients, and the passion put into making the dish were truly palpable. This place is a real hidden gem! I wish you all the best and hope you expand to other states because that chef has a true gift that just be share! ”
“ I work in the Simmons tower, and this is my favorite lunch spot in the area. Great food, friendly owners, and good value for the quality. Service can be a little long during peak hours, but they take remote orders, so thats not a big deal. Absolutely recommend the Healthy Grain Bowl. ”
“ I work in the Simmons Tower and its not unheard of that I get my lunch from here multiple times a week. I prefer to order in person at the counter because the owner always brightens my day. Ive worked in restaurants for most of my life and Im always impressed by how attentive and hardworking she is. The food at Banana Leaf is absolutely delicious. The flavors are on point and they are always willing to make any adjustments to fit my needs. Here recently Ive been counting my macros and after I told her that, she weighed up the chicken for me so I knew exactly how much protein I was eating. Everything Ive had here is tasty. My favorites are the healthy grain bowl, the chicken tacos, the tandoori chicken with brown rice and black beans as my vegetable, and of course a mango lassi as my beverage. The portion sizes are perfect and they have super affordable options to add extra meat, veggies, tacos etc if youre super hungry. Im gonna have to end my review there because I just realized its lunch time and I need some Banana Leaf right now! ”
“ When I walked in, I was met by the nicest gentleman. He explained the dishes to me and I ultimately settled on Chicken 65 10.99 with quinoa2 upcharge but better for diabetics with two veggies and one more added3.00, and 4 veggie pastries 2.50 each. Its a very affordable place to dine. The dish itself had the sauce on the side, which I love because I dont usually like a lot of sauce. I chose to just put the lime on it which added another level of flavor soooo gooood. The atmosphere is business oriented, bright, and busy. Cant wait to come back! ”
“ One of my favorite Indian lunch places in Little Rock. Their food is fresh, flavorful, and delicious! The Chicken Biryani, Chicken 65, Roasted Cauliflower, and the other items on the menu are amazing. I can feel their cooking from the heart! The owners are very friendly, and wonderful. Highly recommended spot! ”
“ We had an amazing experience. after arriving at the airport. We had a fresh and tasty dinner at the restaurant with the family. generous portions and exceptional service was in order. We highly recommend anyone to go to this five star restaurant! ”
“ Wow, just tried the Chicken 65 meal here, and it was AMAZING! Its not deepfried very healthy but tastes 2x better than anything Ive tried before MA. Its also halal, which deserves even more extra points! The rice has peas and cilantro, and the flatbread is also great. The cauliflower side dish tastes so succulent. Highly recommended. ”
