Not just what hits the table… but everything behind it.

From the kitchen chaos to the final plate, this is how it all comes together at Banana Leaf. Real people, real food, and a lot of attention to the details you don’t always see.

Big shoot day with the team — new dishes, fresh content, and plenty more on the way.

Stay tuned.

Rice, curry, sambals, crunch, spice… this is what a proper lunch looks like.

At Banana Leaf, your plate comes loaded — fluffy steamed rice, rich lentil and vegetable curries, crispy pappadum, and your choice of chicken, beef, fish or vegetarian.

Or go all in with the biryani — oven-baked basmati rice layered with spice, herbs, egg, chutney and your choice of meat.

Everything is built to be mixed, shared, and eaten the way it’s meant to be — bold, messy, and full of flavour.

This isn’t just “a curry”… it’s a full Sri Lankan spread.
Packed with texture, heat, and those little extras that make it hit different.

📍 Canberra City — 2 Akuna Street
🕛 Lunch Monday–Friday, 12–2pm

Book a table or walk in — but don’t leave it too late.

From the clay pot to your table.

Our signature chicken curry starts with fresh spices, slow heat, and time — finished with coconut cream for that rich, deep flavour.

Simple. Proper. Banana Leaf.

Make it at home or join us for lunch or dinner and order it yourself.
