★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I wanted to have a crispy paper masala dosa. So searched for near by eateries. Then I found 'Banana Leaf' as one of the highly rated places nearby. I went there after confirming whether they are open for dine out or not. Yes they were, lots of cool comfortable tables. Chilled AC and Fan made my small waiting for jumbo dosa pleasant. Then in a big big plate it came along with four colorful eye-catching friend. Red roasted Garlic & Tomato chutney, Bright Yellow Aloo Masala, White coconuts chutney, Pale dark yellow sambar.
Unfortunately apart from the crispness of the paper dosa none of the accompanying are tasty enough to justify the hefty price tag. Aloo masala was too blunt, full of big chunks of simple boiled potato. Coconut chutney doesn't look fresh & water content was too much. The red chili garlic tomato was good and sambar is full of water with no taste at all.
But I must appreciate the helpful staff for his prompt n fast service. He served dosa and filter coffee with in 5mins. But he was unaware of the special dishes of them. All together 1* for him and 1* for the crispy dosa..
Points to improve, taste and quality of the dosa, masala and chutney.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ It's a decent South Indian restaurant with the menu which you will get in a typical South Indian restaurant. The food taste is also good. One thing that bothers me is that the person who is taking orders is the same who is serving, is the same who is picking up the used plates and utensils and is the same who is going to counter, generating bill and taking payments. In this Covid times there has to be separate resources for doing these works. That's the reason i am giving 3 stars.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Honestly I didnt like the food much. I have tastes south indian food across the city and this one failed my expectations. The taste was very average. Ambience is basic with damped walls giving it somewhat unclean look. I ordered idli and masala dosa, both very average. If you are hungry and around this locality, it's fine for fulfilling your hunger but if taste is priority, i wont really recommend this one. Staff is well behaved. ONe thing i would like to mention here... this place allows you to buy the idli dosa batter. So if you want to do it yourself, just buy the batter and enjoy with family at home safely. Although I am yet to try the batter myself, I hope it should be fine. Will try and update here asap.
Next day: Today I tried the batter at home and it is really good. I made both idli and dosa at home with the batter i bought from banana leaf and it turned out to be good, beyond my expectation. Idli was light, soft and fluffy Nd dosa also crispy... good alternative to home made batter. As confirmed by the staff at Banana Leaf, this batter if refrigerated can last for upto a week. Not bad! This is really good. Sharing pics of the idli I prepared out of the batter from here. They cane out well. Hence, batter from banana leaf... Recommended!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ After a long time we made a visit to Banana Leaf and must say we had missed one of the best places to have South Indian food.
We ordered Rawa Cheese Onion Masala Dosa, Dhaniya Masala Dosa and Sada Vada. The freshness just made us even more hungry and drooling.
How can one visit here and not have Filter Coffee, the aroma made me want to have one more but I couldn't risk my sleep.
The ambiance is fairly simple and the staff is friendly too. The orders didn't take much time to get to our table.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Location is nice, ambience is nice. The wall color gives a soothing feeling.
Upsides: Authentic South Indian food, The Chutney, Sambar and Vada was really delicious
Downsides: The Prices are way too expensive, 60 Rupees for 1 Vada is way too much.
The Dosa was kinda thick and the filling was not very tasty. It was ok.
Overall, this restaurant is decent however there are better options.
