If you’re in the neighborhood of Little India, you’ll discover Banana Leaf Apolo to be one of the most popular eateries in the area.
This is where you get to feast on flavor-packed South Indian cuisine straight off freshly cut banana leaves (the Indian, eco-friendly way!), and the menu’s line-up holds incredibly affordable prices to boot!
Established back in 1974, the founder of this restaurant took inspiration from Apollo 11’s moon expedition with high hopes for his humble venture to mirror the same successful take-off — today the brand has earned a reputed place amongst its patrons, thanks to the team’s hard work, dedication and unwavering commitment to serve quality food and impeccable service standards.
