Editor’s Note

Last updated 29 May 2026

Our take: Imam Banana Leaf Restaurant presents a mixed bag, with some patrons praising specific dishes while others raise significant concerns.

The Indian curry fish head, priced around $8.60 (though specific pricing for the fish head itself is not detailed), is highlighted as a generous portion, potentially feeding 3-4 people, despite lacking some traditional accompaniments like ladyfingers or brinjal.

The mutton nasi briyani also receives commendation for its tender, flavourful mutton and well-balanced rice.

However, we note recurring issues with portion sizes for some dishes, as well as complaints about excessive oil in curries.

More critically, there are serious hygiene concerns reported, including staff handling food with unwashed hands and a visibly dirty kitchen.

Service can be slow, with wait times of 30-40 minutes for cooked-to-order items like Maggi Goreng.

There are also reports of inconsistent food quality, with some dishes being overly salty.

The lack of clear menus or pricing is an operational drawback.

We recommend caution; while some dishes may satisfy, the hygiene and service issues are significant.

Best for those seeking specific, well-regarded dishes like the fish head, but be prepared for potential operational inconsistencies.
