Banana Leaf Saigon Indian Restaurant

We visited Banana Leaf Saigon Indian Restaurant on 03/04/2025 for dinner and had a pleasant experience. Being Indian travelers, it was nice to find authentic Indian food in Ho Chi Minh City. We ordered Veg Pulao, Paneer Tikka Masala, Plain Roti, and Masala Buttermilk and the total bill came to 491,400 VND. The food was fresh and satisfying, especially after several days of traveling. The Paneer Tikka Masala was well prepared and the buttermilk was refreshing. The restaurant was clean, the service was good, and the staff were courteous. The pricing was reasonable for the quality and portion sizes offered. Overall, a good choice for anyone looking for Indian food in Saigon. We enjoyed our meal and would recommend it to fellow travelers.

Good option in Saigon for South Indian food. Service is poor. They messed up orders multiple time. Even though they charge extra for juice without ice, they still brought us juice with ice, that had to be sent back. I asked for an extra Kerala Prantha, and reminded the waiter two times, but it was never delivered. We had request for it to be removed from the final bill. Their staff find it difficult to cater to large others and any special requests are clearly ignored. I guess due to the hot weather in the city, it is difficult to keep food fresh. The coconut chutney had gone bad and the korma in the Veg Thali had a funny sour taste. Overall, I will go here again for their South Indian food.

Upon entering the restaurant, you’re greeted by the rich aroma from the tandoor. The first level is beautifully decorated, creating a strong first impression. Surprisingly, while the restaurant appears small from the outside, it is spacious and extends across three levels. The food took a little while to arrive, but it was well worth the wait. Every dish was flavorful without being overly salty. Service could be slightly improved, where cutlery shouldn’t need to be requested, dishes shouldn’t be overlooked, and staff could navigate the space more gracefully, but these minor issues do not detract from the high quality of the food. Should you be travelling with children, do note that there is a bar directly opposite the restaurant. There were scantily clad individuals hanging out in the vicinity of the restaurant on the evening we visited. A point to note though it is definitely not the issue of this restaurant. Lunch arrangements instead of dinner would easily mitigate the situation. Highly recommended!

The Best best best food in Vietnam. This was the only Indian restaurant we could find in Vietnam that serves real Indian spicy food. Masala dosa, starter, sabji, chicken, ruse, sambhar, soup Everything was wow. 100% satisfaction. If you are an Indian in hochi Min, this is the only place where you eat.

I am delighted to share my experience with the authentic Indian-style mutton biryani. Upon entering the restaurant, I was warmly greeted by the staff. There was a gentleman, who I believe to be the owner, and although I did not speak with him directly, he appeared very accommodating and friendly to the patrons. Regarding the food, the portion size was quite generous, at least in my opinion, and the biryani contained a plentiful amount of tender mutton, which was a pleasant surprise. While the price was a bit higher, it is understandable given the restaurant's location in a foreign country and the potential challenges in sourcing the necessary spices. Overall, I have no complaints, and I would recommend this establishment to anyone seeking authentic Indian or Malaysian cuisine. While I cannot speak for all the dishes, the biryani was truly marvelous. Btw to all our Muslim friend this place is a Muslim friendly or in other words Halal certified establishment.
