The food is sooo goood! We got the chicken 65 biryani and the chicken tikka masala, both were delicious! The biryani was probably the best I've had in LA! We did takeout so cant say much about the ambiance and service, it seemed alright!

My beautiful daughter Lexie chose this place by the 4.0 rating on Yelp. Let's begin with the food we ordered; Aloo Gobi Sauteed Cauliflower and Potatoes with spices, butter chicken , Dindugal Thalappakatti Halal Goat Biryani, Dindugul Halal Goat Biryani icon, garlic nun, and white rice. The food is definitely delicious, they have a great cook, excellent What is great about this restaurant is one can choose the three varieties of hot or spiciness We chose mild. And the portions are large and prices are reasonable and affordable. Saving the best for last, this is for management please read what I write this is for your business health and continuity for the restaurant. We arrived at super low-peak hour so it was like 3pm and not one soul or anyone eating and to me that is rather strange, but I it had great reviews. Also I was confused there are two businesses run in par with each other. They have a bar next to their restaurant and so we were confused which one was banana leaf ? I suppose they are owned by same company. This restaurant is lacking professional services. We asked the server about potential allergens with any of their dishes but the server that look more like a soccer player than a professional server never mentioned cashews in the goat or lamb dish which we had ordered. My Daughter is allergic to nuts but the server's response was; "You asked if any of the dishes had peanuts, not cashews." But isn't cashews a nut or part of the family of nuts or allergens. This shows this server was not well trained. Last, he asked for a tip ? Or request a tip. I felt embarrassed because we always tip 16-25% of gross bill. No receipt was given until i requested the breakdown of the food ordered. Lack of service personal hygiene, this the honest truth he looked like coming from Gym or something like that Overall, I don't think I will return until they improve their service Thanks for reading Ps I ordered a Merlot - no wine menu was offered or brought to me until I asked Give me a break what kind of business are you running ??? You can't find their Letter ? A, B, C?

Amazing day at the Banana Leaf Redondo Beach location. The food and experience was AHHHMAZING. Sri out did himself ..... AGAIN 5 of the 19 dishes we tried- yes NINETEEN *Stuffed Tindora *Mixed Veggie Bajji *Masala Dosa *Stuffed Eggplant *Dosakaya Dal Inside restaurant. Outdoor patio. Street parking. Ocean breeze. Highly recommend.

Banana Leaf just opened in RB, so I decided to check it out: I went as soon as they opened and was the first customer. I opted for the hyderabadi biryani, medium spicy. To my surprise, it was spicy; Banana Leaf does not mess with heat!!! It was tasty and flavorful with spices, although I will admit that the heat detracted from fully-enjoying the flavor of the dish, as it was just heat and more heat...while I can handle heat decently, I think I overestimated my abilities! Met the owner, who was super nice and offered to make sure the dining experience was great, even offering pakora and samples of Indian donuts. Next time, I'll have to definitely request for spice-level adjustment to truly enjoy the meal!

1st time for everything. I had never had a food item with Jackfruit after moving to the US. This restaurant was/is the first such restaurant to offer this delicacy. Just for that, the place gets a 5 star!!!! Our friends from Torrance recommended this. We ordered food while we were on the 91 freeway. By the time we arrived at the restaurant, our takeout order was almost complete. Jackfruit Biriyani was unique. I dig. (+2) Chicken Biriyani was alright. Okra Fry portion was generous. (+1) Navrathan Kurma and Goat curry were decent. Not spicy but they did the trick. Naan is very small by Indian standards. (Almost like a Pita Bread) (-1) P.S: Location. Parking is terrible? Street signs are not present. Address is the key to finding this restaurant.
