Banana leaf meal at Curries N Claws @ Citta Mall, Ara Damansara

**Note: This restaurant has closed down. The food getting worse before its closing**
Banana leaf restaurant is another new addition to Citta Mall list of interesting eating place. They have awesome fried bitter gourd and rasam. Do try out their varieties of curries such as crab, squid and cockles curries as those are their specialities. They use better briyani for rice unlike others which use normal rice. Good value meal and taste good.

Taste:9/10(Delicious. Their fried bitter gourd and rasam soup are better than other banana leaf restaurant. Their spicy level is a bit too hot for me but taste good).
Price:7/10(Moderate. Banana leaf meal at MYR10.90. Quite reasonable price considering you can eat as much as you wish and tasty meal).


Tasty banana leaf meal. Their fried bitter gourd taste awesome and crunchy.

Eat as much as you wish.

Raj's Banana Leaf @ SS15, Subang Jaya

Raj's banana leaf restaurant located in SS15 Subang Jaya is my favourite choice if I am very hungry and would like to be vegetarian for a day. You can have as much rice and vegetables as you want for a banana leaf meal. If you are big eater, I would recommend to add on their meat dishes such as fried fish, squid and curry chicken. Their fried fish and squid are fried fresh when you order. Pleasantly surprised at the very decent quality and cleanliness of the restaurant. This restaurant is quite accessible via public transport as its just located beside the newly completed SS15 LRT station.

Taste:8/10(Good. I like their fried bitter gourd and curries. It goes very well with rice and taste great).
Price:7/10(Moderate. Banana leaf rice at MYR7.50. You will have 4 types of vegetables, rasam, assam, 2 pieces of papadum, dried chili and choice of curries).


Complete banana leaf rice. Request more rice or vegetables if you really hungry :-). My standard order will be the banana leaf rice with hot lime juice.

Good curries.

Their other meat dishes are good as well.

Spacious, clean and cosy environment.

Banana leaf meal at Sri Nirvana Maju Restaurant @ Bangsar, Kuala Lumpur

Sri Nirvana Maju Restaurant has always been ranked high for Indian food in Time Out Magazine. This time I visit to try out myself to prove how good their banana leaf rice are. Located at a high end area with plenty of Western and fine dining eateries, this is a restaurant for those who are budget conscious. Although their banana leaf rice and drinks is slightly more expensive but their are still much cheaper compared to the fine dining or Western restaurant nearby. Beware of those who come here during lunch or dinner time as table is hard to get by. This restaurant is a mamak style restaurant with good combination of condiments in their banana leaf rice has made this restaurant popular and featured in many food review.

Taste:8/10(Good. The banana leaf rice is good with best combination of condiments which I can find. The best condiments in my opinion is the masala fried bitter gourd which is so tasty and crunchy. Other than that, the meal also comes with acar-raw marinated cucumber, papadam-crispy cracker, sour plum, rasam & fried chilli).
Price:6/10(Moderate. Banana leaf rice at MYR8.00 and lime juice drink at MYR1.80).


This masala fried bitter gourd is so good.
