    Awesome food, relaxed service, open ambience with lots of seating. This new Sri Lankan eatery has great food with wonderful vegetarian options.. Definitely give it a try!

    New restaurant in Manassas on Liberia Avenue that you have to try. It's food from the heart of Sri Lanka. The flavors are amazing. We had the Lamprais and the Seafood Kotthu. For dessert we ordered the Kiri Pani. The food was delicious, the service was great and the restaurant has a contemporary style. I highly recommend Banana Leaf if you're looking for something different

    Banana Leaf was delish! I ordered to-go the chicken curry w three vegetables and it was so flavorful and a perfect spiciness to it.

    Lampri the special of the house

    Food is amazing, an explosion of flavors. This new gem opened recently and my hat is off to the chef! The lampri is full of veggies and different flavors, I also had the fresh ginger hot tea which was full of fresh ginger chunks.

    Caramel pudding

    The Sunday buffet is delicious. Also the food on the menu is fantastic. The place is spacious and carries has great ambiance.

    If you're looking for authentic South Indian cuisine, especially the bold and distinctive flavors…read moreof Madurai, this place is absolutely worth a visit. The restaurant is beautifully decorated and creates a warm, inviting atmosphere that complements the dining experience. I tried the Thattai Idli with sesame podi, and it was incredibly flavorful, satisfying, and filling. For dessert, I had the halwa, which tasted wonderfully traditional and brought back authentic flavors. It was a little sweeter than I personally prefer, but the recipe itself was spot on. My friend ordered the Paneer Lababdar, and it was easily one of the best versions I've had anywhere in this area--rich, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. I'm already planning to come back with my daughters to try their famous Family Dosa, which is so enormous that it's served across four large plates! The restaurant is about an hour's drive for me, and I can honestly say it was well worth the trip. If you're craving authentic Tamil cuisine with generous portions and excellent flavors, this place deserves a visit.

The service was awesome--our water was refilled without us having to ask, and they brought us everything we requested. The Madras 65 Biryani had great flavor. I just would have preferred the rice to have a little more bite since it was a bit mushy. Next time, I'll probably just order the Kozhi 65 appetizer because the picture made it look like it had a larger portion of chicken. The Kaalan Manchurian was very tasty. I just wish I'd ordered some rice to go with it because eating the mushrooms by themselves became a little salty after a few bites. I'd definitely come back to try more dishes, but there were two things I didn't enjoy. First, the jazz music was played on repeat and was a little too loud. I'd rather they lower the volume and maybe play Indian music instead. Kenny G on loop isn't very enjoyable. Second, I was a bit confused about the pricing. A plain dosa without filling was only $1 cheaper than one with a filling, and a side of dal was $11. That's mostly me nitpicking, though. Overall, the food was well-seasoned, the flavors were great, and the service was excellent. I'd definitely return if I were in the area.

We were a large group and ordered a wide variety of dishes including the lamb roll, lamb chops, palak chaat, paneer tikka, crab, shrimp curry, and the Everything Mango dessert. The food was delicious across the board, with plenty of bold flavors and beautifully prepared dishes. The downside is that it comes at a fairly high price, so I expected the overall experience to match the quality of the food. Unfortunately, the service was the biggest disappointment. We had made our reservation several days in advance for a large group, yet our server seemed to be rushing us from the moment we sat down. Even while choosing our wine, we were repeatedly pushed to make a decision rather than being given time to look through the options. It felt unnecessarily rushed and pushy, which really put a damper on what should have been a special group dinner. The atmosphere is lovely, with a sophisticated and ambient setting that works well for special occasions. Given the prices, though, I expected much more polished service. Great food, but the rushed service left a bad taste and unfortunately overshadowed an otherwise delicious meal.
