Banana Tree Westbourne Grove

Exceptional Service and Delicious Veggie Options!

My recent visit to Banana Tree was a delightful foray into a vibrant culinary tapestry of Pan-Asian flavors. Walking through its doors, the ambiance immediately invites you to relax, accentuated by an eclectic music mix that subtly nudges your spirits towards being soothed yet inquisitive. The star of the evening was undoubtedly the Laksa Soup, as vibrant in taste as it is in appearance, featuring luxe layers of spices melding effortlessly with prawns. It was clear that this establishment takes pride in proffering dishes that allow the freshness of their ingredients to shine brightly. The explosively flavored Pad Thai also performed admirably, each strand of noodle carrying whispers of subtle ginger and vigor of lime – both artful reminders of what makes Asian cuisine delectably unpredictable yet grounded.

I must extend my commendations to the diligent staff whose service added polish to an already impressive outing. Sanjeeta, who orchestrated the dance of our dinner service, was all smiles and prompt, offering recommendations that hit every mark they set. Though there were whispers from other patrons about intermittent lags in service, what lingered for me was the genuine warmth and attentiveness radiating continuously throughout my visit. The vegetarian options were perfused with creativity, perfectly reflecting both a conscientious dining philosophy and mastery over presenting vegetables not merely as accompaniments. If you’re journeying through London and find yourself in need of a nurturing meal enveloping you in hearty embraces of seasoning, Banana Tree is poised to provide just that – with grace and aromatic indulgence. — Nigel Gourmet
