Editor’s Note

Last updated 30 May 2026

Our take: The Banana Leaf Apolo is a well-known Indian restaurant, often praised for its authentic flavours and ability to host events.

We see consistent feedback on the quality of service, with staff members like Mr.

Rajasekar and Mr.

Ashok frequently highlighted for their attentiveness and hospitality.

Dishes like the Mutton Mysore and mutton dum biryani receive specific mentions for their flavour, with the biryani noted for being flavourful without gameyness.

However, there are significant concerns regarding food quality, particularly for takeaway orders, with one detailed complaint citing excessively oily curries and soggy biryani rice, leading to an inedible meal.

This suggests potential inconsistency in preparation, especially for off-premise dining.

We'd recommend dining in for the full experience and to mitigate potential quality issues with takeaway.

One of the best places for hosting small scale events (120 to 150+ pax) and the food is very delicious. Guests could not stop praising, especially the Mutton Mysore which ran out very quickly. Love th…

The food is towards the spicy side but it’s still delicious. The mutton dim Briyani is flavourful without the gameyness from the mutton. That’s the highlight for me!
