My Fave Thai Restaurant

Banana Leaf in Adliya has been a favourite of mine! Back in the day I used to live above it and so would pretty much eat here every week.

The trick was to lubricate with a pint at JJs Irish Pub first (which was down the road from it back then) then saunter down the street for a good Thai feast, as the place is dry.

In recent times and as word has gotten out at how good they are, they have added more seating, take card payments and deliver…things are on the up for Banana Leaf it seems!

Here is what I order on my visit:

• Fresh spring rolls
• Tom yum soup
• Deep fried wonton shrimp
• Pad Thai with shrimp
• Green Thai curry with chicken
• Garlic fried rice (yes a million times, yes)
• Nam Toke noodle beef soup
