It really pains me to give them such a low rating, but I must give my honest opinion…read more Positives: prices, portions and service. Cons: lack of flavor and parking. I ordered a large: chickpeas, pumpkin rice, mixed vegetables, veggie steak, pasta and veggie patty. I enjoyed the chickpeas, veggie steak and veggie patty. However, the veggie steak was more potatoes than "steak". The pumpkin rice was bland and overcooked, pasta was way overcooked and tasted like water, mixed vegetables had no seasoning and the veggie patty was ok, but I've had better. The food looked amazing, and reviews are complimentary, but I felt the food was very much lacking in flavor. It tasted like mass-produced Caribbean food, not authentic. Hopefully, I went on an off day, but I won't return to find out.

Very nice

My only wish is for them to move to a larger space one day with seating. There are some counter-top seats and one patio table outside but not enough for all the customers that swarm the venue. We usually get our food to go and eat it at Elizabeth Park in West Hartford nearby, the perfect spring date idea. If you haven't been here yet, you gotta go, but plan where you are going to eat the food first!

The restaurant was busy for a wednesday evening, but my party of 4 were seated quickly. The place was very cute and colorful, but the noise level was extremely high. I could barely hear the person across the table from me. The music was very loud which caused all the parties there to start screaming over it to talk to each other. Food was quick to come and the drinks were very delicious. Prices are reasonable for the food itself. Staff were quick and friendly with us as well.

"Down to the banana republics, things aren't as warm as…read morethey seem None of the natives are buying any second-hand American dreams" (Jimmy Buffett) Lunch at the Banana Leaf was a real triad of contrasts, as we had very positive reactions to their atmosphere and food but a very different experience with service. First of all, the décor is very pretty, with a thatched roof/tiki bar-like design at their small bar, painted designs and artwork on the walls, pretty light fixtures, sculptures, and Tiffany style glass. There is plenty of room between the tables, so you really have a sense of privacy and are not crowded at all. I love Thai food, and I loved my lunch. I ordered a small Coconut Tom Yum soup ($6), and it was a10/10. It had the coconutty mildly spiced hot and sour flavor I love and was loaded with chicken, A big bowl of just that soup would have been enough for my munch any day of the week. I also ordered their Spicy Eggplant with Squid ($18) stir-fried with bamboo shoot, snow peas, string beans, carrots, bell peppers and basil leaves in spicy basil sauce. It was served with a side of white rice. It was a great example of why I love Thai food because the flavor was fantastic. The portion was big enough that we brought home half for another day. Now, as far as we experienced, the real clunker here was the service. Perfunctory, unsmiling, non-engaging, robotic are words that come to mind. What a shame, because just a little effort really would have made a big difference.
