TL;dr: Your experience may depend on the day of the week you visit this place. Dosa and uttapam was okay, idli and wadai were alright, sheera was unique in itself. Banana leaf has been on my visit list from a very long time. It is located inside the Malhar Mega Mall, and has a very minimalistic ambiance in itself. You're greeted with a very Kannad vibe once you enter through the main door, and the tables and chairs are reminiscent of my time in Bengaluru. The service was a bit on the slower side, and honestly, was such an off-putting thing for me and my friend. Once the food arrived, hands down, this was the most underwhelming dosa I've had in Indore. Inspired by the dosas served in Bengaluru, fluffy from inside, crispy from outside, this was nothing like it LOL. Dosa came along with a side of sambhar (which was really low in quantity, and you had to request again and again for it, combined with the slow service, it kinda bugged me) and 2 chutneys. The idlis were disappointing honestly, we ordered Thatte idli, which was a bit undercooked, and left a sour taste in my mouth. Wadai were pretty small in serving size, uttapam was loaded with oil for some reason. Pineapple sheera was not the sweetest, and had little hints of pineapple in it. Overall, I wouldn't really recommend. My first experience wasn't the greatest, and left a lot to be desired. I'd like to visit again and change this review, if my experience changes anytime, anyday.

The south indian food is vary tasty and quality of the food is also good. Only one thing which need to improve is the kerala paratha. It is made of maida and that too not cooked well. I ordered brunch thali. Meal type Brunch Price per person ₹400–600 Food: 4 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 3 Special events No special event Wait time No wait

Had a wonderful dining experience at Banana Leaf! The food was delicious, especially the idli, dosa, sambar, and authentic filter coffee. The Paneer Hyderabadi Dum Biryani was equally impressive—full of flavor, perfectly cooked, and served in a generous portion that’s great for sharing. A special mention to Mr. Kabir, who attended our table. He was extremely polite, courteous, and ensured we had a pleasant experience throughout.

I rarely write reviews, but I felt I had to warn everyone after a horrible experience with Banana Leaf. I ordered a dosa through Swiggy and found a cockroach INSIDE the dosa. I stopped eating immediately. From that night onward, I suffered from severe nausea and repeated vomiting, classic food-poisoning symptoms. I couldn’t eat properly afterward and have been feeling physically weak and mentally disturbed. This is beyond disgusting. A restaurant operating in a mall with such a big name serving food in this condition shows zero hygiene standards and complete negligence toward customer health. How is anyone supposed to trust a place that can’t even keep insects out of its food? This experience caused real distress, not just inconvenience. If you value your health even a little, think twice before ordering from here. One of the worst ordering experiences I’ve ever had.

I recently visited this place and loved their paneer chatpata dosa. It was spicy and tasty. However, the Mix Veg Uttapam was a bit disappointing due to lack of vegetables. The sambhar and chutneys were good. Their Dakshin Biryani is also good ,and the complementary paan was a nice gesture. What made the experience even more special was the food being served in a banana leaf. The menu has also been revamped with a plenty of new options added. The service was a bit down, taking around 30 minutes Meal type Dinner Price per person ₹1–200 Food: 4 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 4 Group size 2 people, 3-4 people, 5-8 people, 9+ people Seating type Indoor dining area Recommendation for vegetarians Highly recommend Vegetarian offerings Menu is all vegetarian

Very disappointing experience at Banana Leaf, Malhar Mega Mall. I ordered the Dakshin Biryani, and both the biryani and the curry served with it seemed stale and were of very poor quality. Unfortunately, I ended up with an upset stomach after eating there. Food safety and freshness should never be compromised. I hope the restaurant takes this feedback seriously and improves its quality standards. Meal type Dinner Price per person ₹1,000–1,200 Food: 1 Service: 2 Atmosphere: 3
