A spot in the little India area of Singapore. The place is clean and the service is fast but a little curt. The food is as authentic as it gets. We had the butter chicken with rice , naan and mango lassis. It was a good meal but nothing life changing . The facilities and tables are clean, which is always a good thing!

A very fun experience. The restaurant is in the Little India neighborhood so culturally it's a fun place to go. It was my first time eating in banana leafs. They have an extensive menu with many regional dishes. I recommend ordering several of the small entrees to experience a variety. It was some of the most flavorful Indian food I've had.

The naan and butter chicken are perfectly executed and paired. - bring it on!!! The service is awful, but the food makes up for it. Be prepared to be ignored, and you'll have no worries ;-) Last time we also tried the spicy prawn masala and it was great! Oh, and the aloo gobi shouldn't be missed. Cauliflower is the thing now, don't you know? Skip the fish head curry; it just ain't worth it. Hyped to the rafters. Go mainstream and you'll not be disappointed.

The fish head curry here is a must try. The price is a bit steep but the portions are big. We also had the squid curry and chicken masala, they were both terrific as well.

This is a review of a dinner with a colleague at Banana Leaf Apolo. The room is very basic and functional. It is a clean space though. It was not very busy (a Wednesday evening) when we were there. The service is friendly and polite but basic. Your order is taken and your food is brought out. The food came out in a timely procession. It was neither delayed nor rushed. As you probably already know, the food is eaten from a banana leaf instead of a plate. Possibly because we are westerners, we were provided with forks and spoons. So, we didn't really do the eat with our fingers things. The food was all pretty good. Some of it was even great. It was all freshly prepared. While nothing fancy, the food was presented in a pleasing manner. Vegetable Samosa - Personally, I prefer the larger style samosas with more filling. But these were good. They were crispy on the outside and tender and flavourful on the inside. They went well with the provided sauce. http://tinyurl.com/crp68po Vegetable Pakora - These were tasty. But they were not as piping hot and crisp as I like them to be. I did enjoy them though. http://tinyurl.com/cysvgkj Butter Chicken - This was a sweet and buttery dish. It was pretty much exactly what I expect from Butter Chicken. They were generous with the chicken and it was very tender. No Photo Spicy Prawn Masala - This was a very nice dish. It was not very spicy though. As with the chicken, the prawns were tender. For my tastes, the prawns were perfectly prepared. http://tinyurl.com/cge9zxq Aloo Gobi - This is not something you will hear from me very often. My favourite dish was the Aloo Gobi. Yep, the vegetarian dish won the evening. There was just so much flavour and it all worked so well together. The cauliflower and potatoes were both cooked just right. So good! http://tinyurl.com/bojsrtl Rice and Garlic Naan - Both of these were well prepared. I could have personally handled a bit more garlic on the naan. But, all things considered, it was a good take on one of my favourite breads. Overall - This is a basic shop that serves better than basic Indian food. I would love to try some of their other dishes. They offer both southern and northern Indian cuisine. We really enjoyed the food.
