Banana Leaf

The largest pan-Asian dining room on Marlowes, Banana Leaf spans Chinese, Thai and Malaysian cuisine across a full à la carte menu and a popular all-you-can-eat format — served in portions to the table rather than buffet-style. Dishes that come up repeatedly in reviews include tempura prawns, Thai fish cakes, salt and pepper squid, massaman beef and the ruby duck. Pad Thai, green curry and Mongolian-style chicken all feature, alongside a Chinese wing with sweet and sour, black bean and curry dishes. The Facebook page regularly fills with families and groups. With 327 Tripadvisor reviews and a position in the top fifty restaurants in Hemel, it is the most-reviewed Asian restaurant in the town. Takeaway and delivery are available alongside dine-in.
