Banana Leaf Apolo, Singapore

Already remembering this food makes me hungry.

The funny thing is that food is served on a banana leaf, hence the name. Banana Leaf is a "must" if you are around Little India. I loved all the dishes I tried there but my favourite is chicken tandoori and lamb with curry. Try out as many dishes as you can since you can share them with people.

There´s a famous dish called "Fish head Curry" and yes, it´s a fish head. I tried and personally didnt like it but nonetheless I reccomend it as an experience if you like fish.

Favorite Dish: chicken tandoori and lamb with curry

Excellent South Indian restaurant. Menu is very extensive and everything was exceptional, very good selection and every dish was without fault. Meals are served on large banana leaves but silverware is provided. Fish head curry is an experience you must try at least once. Restaurant is a favorite for tourists - saw several tours arrive as we ate dinner but we were not rushed. If in Singapore - gotta try it.

Favorite Dish: Mutton curry, spinach and cheese, fried fish, chicken marsala. The fish was red snapper, fresh and very tasty. Be wary of the spicy hot cabbage appetizer and chicken marsala, must have a cold pitcher of tiger beer ready. Naam bread with garlic is very nice and baked fresh. Portions are good and price vey affordable.

This is the place for Indian food, The banana leaves and the ambiance is so Singapore Indian. I just wish I could go there tonight and enjoy some great curry. The first time I went I had doubts about the fish head curry but it became my favorite dish after I took a blind folded taste. Since I lived in Singapore for over a year, I was a frequent diner.

Favorite Dish: Fish Head Curry is a dish that is not to be missed. The subtle blendings of spices and the quality of the fish is a feast that one needs to experience. You will go back for more,

They don't use plates. They serve the meal on a big green banana leaf. The waiter brings a pot of rice and other things and scoops it on to the leaf.

Several people recommend this restaurant. If you like Indian food, I tend to agree.

Favorite Dish: The chicken curry is not spicy at all. The chicken masala is only moderately spicy (or very spicy to some).

They charge 20 cents for a napkin! They do not charge for a fork or for the banana leaf. They also don't charge you to breathe the air.

Some report a higher price than others on VT. Our bill for 3 people was $45 (Singapore dollars). However, it was initially higher because they charged us for food that we did not order and that they did not serve. They did correct the bill.

This restaurant specializes in Indian and Muslim curries. Food is served on a real banana leaf. They come around and dump rice, and vegetables on the leaf. You can order various meat curries, tandoori prawns or chicken. There is also a menu-which has many north indian dishes-such as daal, palak paneer and naan.

Just don't forget to eat with your right hand.

I love Indian foods, using my clean hand made it more yummy!

Local girl (next to my table) told me to fold banana leaf toward myself to show that I liked their foods. First I didn't know and fold out :P

Favorite Dish: Naan is really good and soft. Fish head curry is pretty spicy. I like fried lamp.

Never miss eating the Fish Head Curry & Chicken Masala.... Cooked with herbs & spices that will leave all your taste buds asking for more!!

Clean and friendly staff...

VISA/Mastercard accepted.

Favorite Dish: Chicken Masala-Spicey, Spicey, Spicey! : )

Try Indian desserts such as Kulfi (Indian Ice Cream) and also my personal favourite, Gulab Jamun... : ) Tantalizingly Sweet~

I chose a bad night to go out without a camera as eating at this place would have made a good photo.

The Banana Leaf restaurants are well known in Singapore. There is at least one other - the Banana Leaf Venus and there may be more ... I don't know.

The name of the restaurant comes from the fact that your food is served on banana leaves rather than plates. The waiter unrolls a huge leaf in front of you on the table and proceeds later to lay out the food on it.

Favorite Dish: The restaurant is famous for its Fish Head Curry. I must admit that I wasn't keen on the idea but I was willing to try. It wasn't like I'd imagined - a lot better in fact. The head is a good size and has quite a lot of meat in it. If you are really into this type of curry you will appreciate the cheeks and the eyes but I just picked out lumps of white meat. The sauce is fairly spicy - not painfully hot but hot enough to give the sinuses a good clear out. Although I didn't get a picture myself, there is a picture of this dish on the attached web site link.
