Bob and I decided to check out Banana Leaf one Friday after some friends gave it a rave review. We had never had South Indian cuisine before and were really excited to check it out (although Bob was less so once he found out it was all Vegetarian…) We decided to go with the Grand Buffet, which turned out to be a food marathon. The meal began with Lassi (a yogurt drink) in a variety of flavors. The lassis are unlimited and we definitely kept them coming. We also were able to try five different chaats, street dishes not common in US Indian restaurants. Finally, after all of this, you have dosas (kind of a rice crepe)brought to your table and head to the buffet to choose a variety of different dishes. The meal is finished with a Chai Masala.
While all dishes are gluten free, there are still Indian breads made with wheat that you will want to avoid.
We were completely stuffed by the end of our meal and I can’t wait to go back.
