    To be honest when I first heard the name Banana leaf , my mangalorean brain was both tempted ,curious but Skeptic..Most recently I went to this place in Mannheim serving South Indian which really did not meet my expectation..In the last 5 year in Europe I have never had an authentic South Indian food experience outside of India. This Saturday morning ,I thought I find out for myself, what the hype is all about. I got here with my family and was pleasently greeted and treated by 3 lovely women enterprenuers, who started this place. The order was taken super quickly & then What I did not expect happened , Just like in a typical South Indian place , the food is prepared right in front of you. There is no hidden kitchen where the action happens. In minutes it was all ready , The breakfast thali, a masala dosa and chai. The very first bite of the Dosa with the coconut chutney took me back to my home town.Wow! You know this is the taste of genuine authentic home food. We were so impressed we packed biryani to cover us for the night.The drive all the way from Heidelberg was totally worth the exclusive fresh items in the thalli, Freshly made Puris , Pongal with „Cashews“, Idlis chutneys Sambar and vada, Bajji , Kesri Baath with real Safron etc. Bit tired of the cut copy paste Indian hotels in europe.Same curry where different boiled meats are typically dumped. The banana leaf is authentic where food is made with the care and attention it deserves.This is definitely the best South Indian food you will get in Europe, & I have tried to eat Indian food in almost every country I have visited. 5 stars from my side.

    The new kid in town! If you are looking for real, authentic Indian homemade food, this is the place to go to. Delicious, healthy and a nice variety. Check the website for the daily menu, as this varies for every weekday and I personally like this concept a lot. It’s worth going there and experience traditional Indian food.

    We have been here quite sometime but never felt this bad services like today. After waiting for 15 minutes we requested to take order , then again after 5 minutes we requested again then the response was ‘i forgot’, which is annoying because we see hardly 3 table occupied. Even after 45 minutes the food is not arrived. When food arrived it does not matched with actuals combo menu. Even customer in next table cancelled their order due to so much delay. We will think twice before we come again..

    This is a must visit restaurant for those who crave homemade South Indian food. All the dishes I have tried were delicious with a reasonable price tag. The staff with great hospitality make anyone who walks-in very comfortable and kind of homely. As I visit regularly I have seen their menu being adapted according to the demand and thus showing their commitment towards customer satisfaction. Great job!

    We ordered masala Dosa, masala tea and masala Coffee. Everything was really good and authentic Indian. Service was quick and there staff is really attentive. We reached there bit earlier than the restaurant opening time and they were kind enough to open the place for us to sit on a wintery evening.

    We were visiting our friends in Heidelberg and they suggested we eat here. It was awesome. We pre ordered Biryani and Parotha and it was served hot when we arrived. Very friendly owner and the staff working over there were also really polite. The taste of Biryani (chicken with bones) was great, almost same as what we get in Hyderabad. Strongly recommend anyone craving a good biryani. I have not tried other items on the menu so cannot really say anything about them.

    Very poor quality of taste and ordering any kind of rice is definitely not recommended. The spices or the masala is not cooked well. Only Parotta and chicken curry was good. The potato side dish for poori was very poor. Gobi Manchurian was horrible. Chicken fried rice tasted like nothing. Total waste of money

    Ordered chicken fried noodles and vegetables fried rice. Both were good. If you are looking for the fried noodles prepared in the indian way with frying done in cast iron wok, this is the place.

    Excellent food and great Ambience. Pepper Chicken fry is a must try dish. Parotta with chicken curry is the best dish and needs a special mention.

    Typically you'll find here the cuisine from south of India, but many more choices of a hearty and tasty food is also available. For us, waiting time was too much, but generally this is not the case.

    Masala Dhosha Masala tee , Chicken biriyani Butter chicken and Naan These are best among all. They have the best chefs in kitchen for sure. Authentic south Indian food, very reasonable price.

    Good authentic South Indian taste. Masala Dosa was very tasty and the filling (bhaji) was awesome. Somehow, I think the dal thickens a bit too much in Germany, so the Sambar was pretty thick, but taste was good, would have liked a few pieces of drumsticks,though! Commendable effort by enterprising women!! Kudos!!

    Very authentic and one of the best South Indian Restaurants in the area. Friday Biryani is absolute TOP. Saturday Plates are also delicious. Wednes Day Brinjal Curry is amazing. Highly recommended!

    Best palak paneer I've had in years. Perfect level of spice. My wife and kids loved the thalis (veg, chicken, lamb).

  • 5/5 Ankita A. 5 months ago on Google
    We frequently visit this place. The South Indian dishes are amazing and quantity is better than most of the Indian restaurants in this area. Dosas, Dum Biriyani and Pepper Chicken are an absolute go. Being Indian, the spice level suits me pretty well.

👍👍 Delicious greek food! Very well served, for a very fair price. The atmosphere is very good, both in the summer and the winter, and the food is served fast. Be careful, you may find this place full and need to wait. Highly recommended if you enjoy authentic greek food.

🫤 The Food was ok but the Waitress was horrible very short and rude in my opinion. My Sister loves to go there and she invited me since I was visiting from the USA. The variety of Food was pretty poor and the Price was high. Next time when I am in Germany I will find a different Place to take her.
