"Was underwhelmed by this place, having eaten before at the one in the West End and found their dosas to be good. Ate the veg mini buffet meal which comprised too much rice, two chapatis, two papad, a chickpea curry, a sambar, and poriyal (it's a choice between poryial or raita you don't get both but should really get a curd with this included). The chickpeas and poriyal were just ok didn't feel like there was that much masala in them and weren't that spicy, and neither was the sambar. Felt more homestyle but not in a good way (ie. you could make it better yourself at home). Place was freezing too as they door was kept open and initial service was slow. Added to that the prize of £10 as stated on the menu turned out to be £12 on the bill. Sneaky (and a mark off my review just for that). Wouldn't be back in a hurry, based on this visit, given there are several other much better South Indian places."

A Proper South Indian Restaurant in Glasgow at reasonable price and great variety. A great place if you are looking for a spicy south indian food.

Wonderful meal! we both had a mini set…one chicken and one veg. Both really hit the spot. Serve was quick and friendly. Meal came promptly and was hot and delicious.

Only 5 minutes walk from Buchanan Street this little basement restaurant was a fantastic find. Great South Indian food, great service and great value for money. Enjoyed it so much we ate here twice during our stay in Glasgow. View menu

Popped into this little basement restaurant while wandering past. The greeting was warm and friendly, the curry spicy, tasty and expertly cooked. Incredible value, something that seems rare now and the team are all welcoming. Recommend highly, I will be back.

We like to call in here whenever we're in Glasgow. It's only a few minutes walk from the Glasgow Central Station, and very handy to visit before a show in the city. Very good variety of food I have thoroughly enjoyed everything that I have tried. Lots of vegan and veggie options, and prices are very reasonable too.

My mum loves the former Banana Leaf place and it’s always been her favourite place to go for dosa. So she was really excited about this new opening. The decor seemed a little sparse but this was more than compensated by the friendliness of the staff, the speed of the food arriving, but above all the quality of the food. The tastes were fresh and authentic, not far off home cooking. Delicious South Indian food. Liked the touch of having pictures of Ganeshji for kids to colour in too. Thank you to the staff. View menu

Ordered a takeaway from Uber eats and have to say it's some of the worst food I've ever eaten. Well I say eaten most of it straight in the bin. The temperature was cold and that was not just because of delivery time. The food was stale as if it had been from day before. The so called vegetable curry was just chic peas with absolutely no vegetables. The chicken curry was disgusting. The spiced onions the worst I have ever tasted the onions must have been months old and the bread so stale I could have patched a roof with. I honestly don't often go overboard but this was seriously one of the worst meals I've ever had. Avoid at all costs.

I have been a regular banana leaf customer for years, from their old premises in the West end to their new updated St. Vincent street restaurant. The food is second to none, Very flavourful and a great variety on the menu, I have my favourites but also like to try new things occasionally and am never disappointed. The staff are friendly and remember us from previous visits and are always happy to see us return, the decor is nice with a chilled atmosphere, the price is exceptionally cheap particularly for a city centre establishment. The service is typically quick and the food arrives shortly after order on most occasions, there is also the added bonus of bring your own bottle with no corkage...
