Met a friend up for lunch on a weekday and decided to try BananaBro as none of us had tried it before. It's one of those "pleasant surprises" for both of us. Inside is quite ordinary but service is friendly and staff member had taken the time to explain how the Weekday lunch Craving Set works. Never tried anything like this before for lunch so I thought it was a great experience. Set items are topped-up (refill) so it's abit like a buffet where you can ask for more once you finished your side dishes. The Craving Set looked amazing when delivered to your table, lots of choices and colours. Curries / sauces was good, I really liked the fried chicken - looked different to other fried chicken but was pretty good, crispy fried onion was yummy and really loved how the large banana leaf was placed in front of you (used as a plate) - such a great idea. The sambal tofu was also pretty good (I'm a tofu lover) and the upgraded Biryani rice is a must (I loved it with the curries). I'll definitely be back and take my mum along, I think she will love it.
What a genuinely wonderful evening out. Despite us not thinking to book the staff were incredibly accomodating, and the food was divine. We will definitely be back again, and we will be bringing others! Thank you so much for a fantastic Saturday night.
If we were in Malaysia I'd give this place a 3 star review. But generally for Perth I thought the banana leaf was alright. Portion was good, I like the choices of curry that they gave. If you're craving banana leaf it definitely will hit the spot. What I thought was quite unacceptable was the sunny side up eggs. It was exceptionally dry. The dryest eggs I've ever eaten. In Malaysia this will be blasphemy. Perhaps the owner was not there at the time so the staff just couldn't be bothered to fry the eggs properly. Nonetheless, I'd still go back, but definitely won't order the eggs again.
Fresh and tasty. Takeaway or dine-in are well thought of. Not too hot and spicy as most of the other outfits. A good alternative to Pa…Ri… which used to be in the city. Helpful staff. Very practical options such as meal sets for 2 people, 3-4 people or 4-6 people. Reasonable prices too.
