Must try place. You get the authentic South Indian flavours.
Very clean and tidy. Food served piping hot.
The chappathi and the natholli fish fry felt very homely and fresh.
An authentic South Indian experience, I had the mango lassi and a cobra beer to drink which was fantastic! Would really recommend this beer. The mutton roll was an amazing starter and the Mutton Biryani was fantastic. Staff was friendly, food was tasty, venue was clean and the prices were worthy of the portion sizes. I'd highly recommend this place to anyone in the mood for proper good Indian food!

Been invite by my friend to banana restaurant.
I was thinking to order a banana as a joke
The food was fantastic Sri Lanka cuisine
In contrast with the name for me become a very memorable place to eat
I had the opportunity to meet the owner Raj very friendly and costumer orientated
Raj thank you for the lovely meal
This place is a godsend. This is the best Indian restaurant that I have been to in Cardiff. At really reasonable prices, they are doing the cuisine some justice. We tried porotta, butter chicken and Sri Lankan curry. While the Sri Lankan curry is on the slightly spicier side, the butter chicken could be improved, but hey I'm not really complaining. Seeing porotta that had actual layers made my day. In short, the food is yum and the staff very polite, cheery and helpful. Definitely returning and recommending this place.
In short: Great quantity and quality at great price.
Has really clean washrooms too.
Go here for the food which is amazing! Small neighbourhood restaurant with an interesting menu. Last time we went there were quite a few items not available which was a shame eg hoppers and kulfi desserts. Would recommend just for the quality of the food though - I had a mutton curry which was lovely.
It was an excellent restaurant. The food was delicious, reasonably priced, and the service was exceptional. They had an extensive menu with a diverse range of options. I tried Methu Vadai, Dal, and Spinach Curry along with vegetable noodles, and I also enjoyed a refreshing Lion beer. I left the restaurant feeling thoroughly satisfied.

A return visit and just as good as before. We love Indian food and this was a little different, with options we had not seen before and some more familiar dishes. On recommendation of very helpful waiter we started with milk hopper and mutton rolls, then Chicken kothu parotta for me, chicken biryani for my wife. All were delicious, great balance of spice and really well cooked. What I especially liked was a separate portion of spicy sauce on the side so you could add extra spicy heat if you wanted (which we did !) . Finished with a Sri lankan rice pudding which was more like a drink and pleasantly warming.
Add to this great service, a relaxed atmosphere and very reasonable prices. We will definitely be back again!
Very authentic keralan / South Indian restaurant - miles away fro the usual turgid oily fair served up in the usual ‘Indians’ in the UK. Think fresh ingredients, curry leaves, mustard seeds, coconut milk. Very generous portions, really kinda cafe informal feel to the place and very nice relaxed staff. We all had various meals, all very good and very reasonable. We will be back.
The ambience is great. The food is above average. The service is absolutely great. A good South Indian restaurant with a variety of South Indian dishes and Sri Lankan tastes. Would recommend, especially because of their service.
We had a lovely evening at Banana! The waiting staff were wonderful and accommodating - we were a group of 13 who arrived without a reservation (sorry!!) and we were welcomed warmly. The food was amazing, really reasonably priced and the portion sizes were big too! There were plenty of veggie and vegan options too - I'll definitely be coming back :)) thank you!
Tried this new restaurant yesterday. It was very good food! They were very accomodating with our not so spicy requests 😁. Service was excellent as well.
We have really liked this restaurant, the food is tasty and the waitress was very kind. She advised us about what order and it was delicious.
The service was excellent and the rates were reasonable. The food was nice and not much to complain about. Parking outside the restaurant could be an issue though a residential area is nearby with some open parking .
Great food! We had takeout but the interior of the restaurant was lovely
Tons of vegan options. We especially enjoyed the jeera rice, vegetable fried rice, okra dhal and potato curry. Great if you want something that's a big step up from Indian takeaway. If you like Mowgli's you'll love Banana
Third visit to date. Absolutely stunning food - not your run-of-the-mill British curryhouse food. Can't wait for our next visit!
