Editor’s Note

Last updated 29 May 2026

Our take: Shami Banana Leaf consistently delivers on flavour, particularly with its Mutton Biryani, which many consider a standout for its tender meat and generous portions.

The Garlic Naan and Mango Lassi also come highly recommended as accompaniments.

We note the consistent praise for the warm and attentive service, often highlighting the elderly staff who contribute to a welcoming, homely atmosphere.

While the food quality is generally lauded, some feedback suggests the pricing might be on the higher side for the overall experience.

We'd recommend opting for the Dum Biryani over the regular 'biryani rice' for a richer flavour profile.

The chicken on a hot plate and fried cauliflower are also popular choices, though the latter might be skipped if you prefer non-fried options.

Verdict: A reliable choice for authentic Indian fare, especially for biryani lovers, but be prepared for a moderate price point.

Absolutely yummy. Devoured it in 20 mins. Better than Chinese curry (yes I am Chinese). Taste is a WOW 😳. I feel like i am in flavour heaven.

A true hidden gem! The food was delicious — especially the dum briyani, mutton ribs masala, and sambal quail eggs. Everything tasted hearty and authentic, with a warm, homely touch. What truly stood…
