Indian and Arabic Kitchen and a pleasant atmosphere - Edit
For two years Banana Leaf has been run by new owners. From an ordinary Indian restaurant, it became a nice cafe and a cozy place for dinner. I like to work from here in the daytime because it is chill, and quiet and offers a lot of space between the tables = security, and privacy.
Read moreThere are Arabic/Turkish options on the menu, which vary my diet in Kovalam. I like their wraps! Ask, if you are vegan because half of the Arabic dishes contain milk, curd, or eggs.
His Indian vegetable curry tastes to me like a ragu by my Ukrainian grandma! I fall into sweet memories of my childhood by eating it. In general Indian dishes taste better than in Subrapatham, which is located just the next door. Subrapatham is lovely, but I go there not because of the taste, to say the truth.
Banana Leaf is a bit more expensive than the other vegetarian options in Kovalam, but the atmosphere and the food are worth it.
Pros: taste, atmosphere, good organised
Cons: a bit expensive

Thanks for your very kind words.
Read moreWe make everything from scratch - evens soups, currys etc. Nothing is pre-prepared. This takes a bit longer and costs a bit more but most people think that what we do is worth it!

Excellent food, great people - Edit
Been coming to BL for many years. Indian vegetarian but most things can be made vegan. As well as Indian food they do great salads(not Indian style salads but closer to western style). Wildcards are baba ganoush and other Middle Eastern dishes.
Read moreOften bake breads, croissants and cinnamon rolls and more besides.
Staff are friendly-especially Rahul.
Pros: Too many to pick one out
Cons: None
