Village Voice is proud to welcome Banana Leaf to the 2014 Choice Eats food fest! http://bit.ly/1cRzdNV. If you've never had Sri Lankan fare before then you should start here.

Solid competitor to sigiri. Great Sri Lankan food. I was surprised to find such an authentic restaurant near Penn station.

One of the few authentic Sri Lankan restaurants in NYC. The mango lassi is amazing!

Been here 10+ times
Most unique interesting lunch buffet. Collards w/ coconut, tasty curries, karela & onion salad, pumpkin cooked in coconut milk, etc.

This restaurant is worth visiting if only for the oddball beverages, including a drink made from a fruit called wood apple. Read more

The lamb lampri is a taste of heaven, served in a banana leaf. Also check out the kotthu.

$9.99 lunch buffet. Great change of pace from your standard fare. Coconut beets and lentil curry. Yum.

Amazing food, not expensive and great device. Their lunch buffet is pretty decent too ($9 or so per person).

Can't go wrong with the lampiri. Generously spiced and delicious.

The lentil soup is well spiced and very hearty!

Reasonably priced. Good food. Not fancy. Casual dining.
Pankaj ShereAugust 9, 2014
Quality does not match the cost. The hoppers are decent but the curries lack spice or flavor of any kind. If you're looking for Sri Lankan, head to Sigiri.

Very good Kootu roti and lamb lampri
Kelly GMarch 17, 2013
The hoppers with chicken curry is delicious!
