They have South Indian and Gujarati food and it was something I've never had before. It was totally different than any other Indian food I've ever had! The owner was very nice and made a lot of recommendations. We ended up trying the buffet and the Chaat (small plate) items and were blown away by the different tastes. It is a really small place in a strip mall with no liquor license. I am already planning my next trip there - I would definitely recommend it. http://www.bananaleafofcolumbus.com/ Wed Apr 11 06:23:14 -0700 2007 12663 Lauren in OH 1 2471563 That place looks terrific! Thanks for the heads up. I'm eager to see how it compares to Dosa Corner, which is more or less the same type of food.

I don't know how you had room for anything in addition to the buffet. I am going to explode. I also got the same treatment from the owner, who made sure I didn't forget anything. FYI, a dosa is included in the buffet. Total cost: $10.66 incl. tax (but not tip). Can't beat that. I gotta lie down now.

We came in with a group of ten (we called ahead to be courteous, of course) and he had special dishes made for us on top of the chaats and the buffet. Every time I eat here I can barely drive home because I'm stuffed so uncomfortably with South Indian food. Thu Jul 02 21:31:40 -0700 2009 2469818 1090313 lackenir 1 4831849 Sooo much agreement. My boyfriend and I LOVE Banana Leaf, and I'm so glad other Cbusites (Cbusonians?) have found it. The chat and buffet is amazing, but if you're ever ordering off the menu, try the Paneer in Cashew Butter. You will die of happiness. Sun Jul 05 18:41:17 -0700 2009 2469818 1091138 LOLTofu
