As Glasgow seems to be second only to Birmingham for Indian restaurants and takeaways, any claim to be “the best” is likely to be controversial, but the Bananaleaf is a very good contender.
The first indication that the Bananaleaf might be a good place for a curry is when you look at who’s eating there. As my gran used to say, always eat where the locals eat and judging by the predominantly Asian clientèle, it would seem the claim to be “authentic south Indian cuisine” might be right on the money.
A second indication as noted by a number of reviews is the pungent smell of curry and fresh curry leaves that fills the air outside and inside the curry house. This means they’re not using the “one size fits all” type commercial curry pastes and the likes as used by so many Glasgow curry houses, but everything is made on site by people who really know their onions….well, curry powder.
Thirdly, what makes this possibly the best Indian takeaway in Glasgow – the prices. For example where else can you get a starter for around £2 or a Chicken Chettinadu meal for whole £5.50? That’s about the most expensive thing on the entire menu!
