Banana Leaf Restaurant

almost two solid decades of eating at Kamal's Indian restaurants, from Annapurna to Banana Leaf the menu has evolved throughout the years and the food has only gotten better. making the rounds thru many of the Indian restaurants in Columbus, I've come to the conclusion you just can't top the value and experience you get with the delicious food and exceptional service at Banana Leaf. their attention to specializing in vegan food and keeping in mind those who are gluten-free only makes their restaurant not only shine, but unique and outstanding in their own right. Kamal is very accommodating and always goes the extra mile to make his guests comfortable. the all-you-can-eat vegan lunch buffet is my happy place. you would be remiss as a vegan okay, as well as a non-vegan to overlook this Columbus gem!!

I went to eat buffet with my friends at this place. The buffet system is way too commercial. They try to fill up your stomach with appetizers at start. The appetizers are OK. Some variety and a couple of them are good. The main course is a complete waste of your time. The rice is under cooked. The alu curry had no taste. Sambar was OK. For the quality of food they are providing they are overcharging way too much. It is 16 dollars for the buffet. Completely not worth it. It is just a family trying to run a business. I am OK with that, but they shouldn't be charging so much for the food, when they are not even trying to provide good food.

Amazing food!! Less variety but good enough to satisfy. Veg lovers or roti /Suubji lovers must hit place

I don't know about the dinners, but the lunch buffet was reasonably priced around $8, and a nice addition to lunch options in the area for those who prefer vegan/vegetarian. I eat a lot, so a buffet is good for me! Food was fairly basic Indian cooking... a lot like what I would make at home, but very enjoyable because of that. The owner was very pleasant to get to know and was very welcoming. A new favorite lunch spot for me!

Highly recommend for vegans, vegetarians and those looking for gluten free items. Very friendly staff and you can tell they really care about the food they are serving! The dinner buffet was super reasonable 13.99 and includes appetizers and a variety of curries. The menu is clearly marked with Vegan, Vegan Option Available, or Gluten Free/Gluten Free available. Huge selection on the menu, but give the buffet a try! You won't leave hungry : The only suggestion to the owners, perhaps turn-off the fluorescent lights and keep warmer, more dim lights to enhance the atmosphere.

We were only people there with a table of two, even though they were really quick to serve us. Our waiter was very nice but timid and asked us if we needed anything multiple times. Food was very good, though we would have liked more rice, should have asked. Definitely coming back with more people. The food was also accomadating as my boyfriend asked if the food could be made spicy and they did so. Overall a really good vegetarian friendly place.

The vegan/vegetarian lunch buffet is very reasonably priced at $7.99. I had a buy one get one coupon - and they gave me another when I left. Nothing fancy but quite good, there is rice, cabbage, beans, curry etc. I was very full when I left. Very welcoming. A little hard to find as it is back in the corner, but worth looking for!

The customer service here is absolutely excellent. I really felt taken care of during my whole visit. I loved all the food from the lunch Buffet for $8.50. My only complaint is that the food is way too salty and oily. This might be just a personal preference as the flavors in all the dishes were spot on. The food kept in the buffet should be kept at a higher temputure as well so it stays hot.

Best restaurant veg buffet was awesome it was like home food & rose milk was complementary..at last we had a masala pan

Food was excellent and different from anything I've had before. The atmosphere and overall restaurant interior could use some work though but the staff was friendly. I would definitely recommend getting the dinner buffet because it's a good price for all the food you get to try. Knowing nothing about Indian food, I just tried a little of everything. If you want something different then this place is for you!
