I don’t want to recommend because you will get too busy. By far the best dinner I’ve had in Canberra so far. My food was delicious and cooked to perfection. You have beautiful staff, friendly and attentive. I just loved it! Can’t wait for next time �
Every time I have been here, I am happy to say the food is amazing, particularly when I take people I have recommended it to. The staff are so helpful and knowledgeable. Thank you for your wonderful service and commitment to your customers
Banana Leaf holds a prime position in the Canberra City. It has soft furnishings and lovely attentive service. Catering for both Sri Lankan and modern Australian style dishes, meals are designed to be eaten by one person rather than shared. Entrees include…. Vegetarian Delight – Potato and green pea with Sri Lankan spices wrapped in a triangle shaped patty pastry and lightly fried. Served with chilli yogurt $22.90 for three ($15.90 for two)
If you're looking for vegan food in Canberra, look no further!
I was looking for a restaurant that would offer some good vegan and non vegan food while I was in Canberra for the weekend. I had the traditional Sri Lankan Curry & Rice dish which you could get with meat, in a vegetarian AND a vegan option. It was just delicious, I couldn't get enough. It's a really nice spot for dinner and we were met with great customer service too.

Fantastic restaurant. One of my favourite places to eat on a cold night. The curries are full of flavour.
I had the Sri Lankan Style Rice and Curry which gives you an assortment of curries. This is a good introduction dish to those who haven't tried Sri Lankan food before. This coupled with some fresh roti makes a delicious and satisfying meal.
Wow, this place is fantastic!
I'm in Canberra for work and found the Banana Leaf early in this stint. I've been back one night each week without fail.
The menu is great: my fave is the Arnhem Land Barramundi.
The service is spot-on, friendly and attentive. It's not noisy, even when it's nearly full, so you can still have a relatively quiet dinner without needing to shout to be heard.
Well worth a visit.
Hard to fault.. I ordered a vegetarian sri lankan curry and rice. It was pretty excellent. I was a bit disappointed that, upon me asking, they said they couldn't do a kangaroo curry (Kangaroo steak was another option on the menu - and seeing as they do a beef curry, not being able to do it with kangaroo is a bit weird). The waitress didn't even go and ask the chef if they could do it, but I didn't feel like enquiring any further.
The curries I did get was excellent, and very different from your standard food court curry. One of them was some sort of fruit and onion curry, which was both weird and delicious. Would highly recommend.
Absolutely divine - highly recommend - stunning dishes and impeccable service. Will definitely frequent every time I am in Canberra.
Gluten and dairy free vegetarian. Dined on a quiet night a few months back. I am gluten and dairy free and a vegetarian (my husband is also vegetarian) and they accomodated with changing a few dishes for me. The result was really yummy, can't fault it. And they managed entree and mains. Dessert didn't work but I was full by then anyway. Very kind staff, attentive but not overbearing.
Great atmosphere! Love the food.
Yum .. great good, service and atmosphere. Shared two really great meals and a bottle of wine for under $100. Really recommend this place, as the food, and service are just excellent. We ate traditional Sri Lankan food and its was very good.... so full of taste.
See picture of the Lamb Birlyani we also had the Sri Lsnksn Style Rice and curry ..
