Delicious! - Edit
Clear menu, delicious food, great drinks. Lots of starters and main options.
Read moreOnly disappointments are:
* No vegan meat substitutes (such as Beyond or This Isn’t)
* Really creative menu for non-vegans (soy sauce ice cream, chocolate bao bun etc) but only 2 vegan desserts: raspberry sorbet or mango sorbet. Needs to up its game with desserts.
Pros: The vegan cracker option (prawn free), Lots of starter/main options, Menu clearly labelled
Cons: Only 2 dessert options - both sorbet, No vegan meat substitutes, only tofu

Lovely takeaway! - Edit
I really like the choice of vegan food at Banana tree and the food is so tasty!
Read moreThe bang bang broccoli and sweetcorn fritters are not to be missed!
They do have vegan meat in the curries so be aware when ordering if you don’t like that. But everything is clearly labelled as vegan!
Pros: Lots of options , Very tasty
Cons: Smaller portions

Great vegan options! - Edit
Unfortunately there are no fully vegan restaurants in Chelmsford but Banana Tree in my opinion has the best options. Very good selection of curries, soups, stir fries etc as well as starters. I use regularly as a home delivery option and food always arrives hot.

Lots of flavour! - Edit
I'm often underwhelmed with the food at chain restaurants but not this time! The food here was really tasty and I was impressed with the large variety of vegan options on the menu. For starters we had the crispy vegan gyoza with sweet chilli dip and Vietnamese spring rolls with lettuce wraps. Both dishes were really tasty and I liked that the spring rolls came with lettuce to wrap them in – it was unusual and added a nice crunchy texture. For our mains we had the vegan katsu curry and the pad Thai with vegan bites. I enjoyed both of them although the pad Thai was definitely the winner for me – it was bursting with flavour and just so delicious! My favourite out of everything we had though was the side – sweet corn fritter balls with sweet chilli dip. They were absolutely delicious!
Read moreThey also do two for one cocktails all day every day which brings the price down to a very reasonable £6 each. We had a [censored] star martini each and they were also really good!
Pros: Lots of vegan options, Very tasty, Two for one cocktails every day

Good Variety - Edit
Nice selection and the food was quality. Hardly any oil.
Read moreOnly concern was the vegan crackers. They didn't have much taste but if they added a bit of miso or salt that would improve things

Amazing vegan choices. - Edit
Visited Banana Tree out of curiosity some months back due to looking for more places with vegan/vegetarian options and was not disappointed.
Read moreTheir menu is about 40% vegan and most meat dishes have a vegan option and the portion sizes are huge. We try and visit at least once a month. The vegan satays are one of my absolute favourite things on the menu.
Pros: Lots of vegan options.
Cons: Expensive unless you use a TasteCard.
