Banana Tree - Angel in Islington

We had a really nice dinner at Banana Tree Islington. We were greeted warmly by a member of the staff and they were all very friendly and helpful throughout our dinner. Every dish we ordered was delicious, as well as the mocktails and desserts. We will definitely come back again.

Had a fantastic meal at Banana Tree. The service was excellent and Maria, in particular, was outstanding. We had a show to get to and not much time to eat but she ensured that our food was received promptly as promised.

Wow. Again and again. Love this chain. They keep expanding yet keep great food

Really delicious food and friendly speedy service. We enjoyed Pad Thai, Ramen and Railroad Rice with prawns. Perfect for a meal before going to Sadlers Wells

Alex was such a great waiter and vibes were great! 2 for 1 cocktails forever! ♾️♾️🙏🏼

Alex was great! Good food and good gluten free.

Great food and ambience. Alex provided excellent service as well !

Alex was fab and food was delicious! Perfect for a quick meal after the gym! X

Friendly staff catering for my allergies

Karem was exceptional, his customer care and attention to detail were great.

Great food, great service, very relaxing atmosphere. Would definitely recommend.

Service was good, Karem was very helpful

food is amazing and good value for money!! karem was a lovely server

Whilst the food was ok and of a fair price (4star), the restaurant were not able to fulfil orders that were prebooked and prepaid in a timely manner (1 star) - a 40min delay waiting to collect during a 1hr lunch break is not acceptable. I blame the central order system rather than the Islington staff; it shouldn't commit to 12 midday customer collection if the kitchen hasn't even begun cooking until that same minute.

Everything was Perfect , excellent food and Kareem vas a great and kind waiter ! I recommend it 100%

It was a quiet day with amazing service from a woman with blonde hair and glasses and an Asian man, they made us very welcome and gave us a good vibe! They sung happy birthday for my partner and made our dinner lovely especially since it was our first time! Thank you so much x I can’t spell the lady’s name but I think it was vawslu x

For a quick dinner with speedy service i would come back! Rendang is the perfect spice level and tender, the dish is fantastic.

Food was alright. I found that there were too many kinds of flavors in the food I ordered that probably everything would taste similar. Flavours not distinct. Mostly an okay place but moderately expensive. I went again for lunch and had one of the £5 meals...chicken lemak. It was sooo good. Definitely defined flavors this time without confusion. I had an equally priced juice and that was good too. Service was good. I tried to go a week before, and had a person say to me come back later as they were understaffed. But his communication wasn't too clear. And that was disappointing.

Vamshi was very welcoming and helpful great experience overall

Great food and lovely server Maria

Great service and kind staff made our birthday meal very special.

The food was great but Mesi made the whole dining experience that bit better. Lovely service! She deserves a raise!

Great Service great food definitely coming back

I don’t want to be pedantic as it’s only a fiver, but I had seen the deal on social media food influencers pages saying it’s big portions and there not small because it’s a a cheap or lunchtime deal, when I went today I had literally 3 small slices of katsu and 90% rice I couldn’t even eat- service was fine and arrived within 5-10 minutes but was basically a bowl of rice

I think the food was pricey for the flavour it gives you but the place was clean and staff were nice.

Had a wonderful time celebrating my birthday with family and friends on Saturday. The staff were warm, friendly and attentive. The food was delicious and cocktails amazing. Thank you for making my day so special. We will definitely be back!

The service was very good, Angela and her colleague incredibly friendly!

Staff lovely and very attentive; thank you very much Mesi 😊

We had an excellent meal at the Banana Tree Islington this evening. The staff were wonderful particularly Angela who served out table. Would definitely return. Delicious food and good value for money.

I recently visited the banana Tree, it was my first time there in Angel, thank you Maria for your attentive service and hospitality. As for food, I had Thai panang curry and chicken dumplings. The panang curry was rich and creamy, with just the right amount of spice and rice. The chicken was tender and infused with deep flavors, making every bite a delight. As for the chicken dumplings, they were a fantastic appetiser steamed to perfection, the dumplings were soft and filled with a savory mixture of minced chicken and herbs. They came with a delicious sauce that added an extra layer of flavor. Overall, the meal was really good, and I highly recommend especially as a pit stop before a concert or event.

Very enjoyable. Food was extremely tasty and service was excellent.

The food was decent. I had the teriyaki salmon. It tasted okay. Just okay. My cousin had the salad which she said was amazing. I had a virgin Pina colada which was delicious. I'm still thinking about it. The atmosphere is also super cute and it's walking distance from the tube and the doubletree. I would def visit if you're looking for a quick Asian bite restaurant. The staff is super friendly as well and the restaurant is clean

Sweetest waitress Maria and very nice food is here

very friendly staff. good service good offer on drinks. nice restaurant

Angela is a 💭 and kind server with a marvellous and welcoming manner!

Was greeted and served by Maria. Maria was an absolute joy. From the time we entered to the time we left, Maria’s customer service was on point! She was very friendly, welcoming and helpful. When asked for recommendations she was able to help and kept asking if everything was okay. She spent time and chatted to us which was lovely. Great customer service. Thank you Maria for being so lovely and keeping a smile on your face that was genuine! Would definitely go back again x

Mesi was great, brilliant service, lovely food

Great service from Vamshio and the rest of the team at the Angel branch! Always a pleasure stopping here, been coming since 2013 and will forever get the Mango lime chicken. The mango rice pudding is also to die for!

First time here for my girlfriend and me. The food was fantastic Very friendly staff and clean restaurant. Everything lead to having a really wonderful time.

Great ambiance, love the background music and the food so flavourful!

Vamshi was a very good waiter. We’ll be back. He was polite, friendly and cheerful and gave great service.

Delicious food and great service by Vamshi! I tried the Singapore laksa vegan and it was very well done.

Mesi offered me a choice of tables, was polite, courteous, wore a gorgeous blue jacket and made forks appear out of thin air for me! The food was delicious too - the Banana Tree spiced noodles. 👌🏼

Lovely service ! Nice Mother’s Day lunch

Mesi was amazing. So kind and lovely and made our experience completely worthwhile, and the food was phenomenal. I’ve been here once before but now we know to come back many more times! ❤️

Food was very flavourful and delicious i would recommend the laksa. We were served by arlette and she was very polite and professional

First experience with this chain and mostly positive. Good menu selection and food delivered matched up....and tastey. Good portion of pad Thai. Banana fritter dessert pretty good. Initially served by manager who was friendly and helpful. Unfortunately the other staff were less professional, asked to drop optional service charge at checkout, and was questioned why and then had the two male staff muttering to each other. Sorry chaps you need to learn manners before expecting a tip....for nothing. Would try the chain again but watch out for large service charge added onto your bill!.....Tip staff directly.

Very positive experience. :) Mesi was very kind, helpful and attentive.

Came here for dinner after seeing good reviews for a thai place, chicken dumplins starter was lovely, for main I got the beef rendang curry flavours were great however dish was served more warm than hot and towards the end the whole dish was cold and im quite a quick eater, service was abit annoying there were two servers and it was quiet they both kept coming over and asking the same question as the other, recieved the bill, paid cash and the waitress just said thank you and didnt bring over the change, I just let it go as it was around £3 but after paying a 12.5% service charge she should of gave me change and let me decide what to do with it instead of just keeping it Would visit a bananatree again just probably not this one

Preciosa comida de colores con capas de sabor, todo caliente y fresco. Nuestro servidor, Arletta, era atento, profesional pero amable.

Superb welcome and attention from Arlette, generous portions of flavourful, hot, colourful food. Thank you!

Great place! Thanks to Vamshi and Maria for being so good hostess and be attentive to all our necessities. I recommend the place 100 %

lovely food with amazing staff in angel branch, will be back again.

Somehow they managed to give two of us non-vegan prawn crackers with an entirely vegan order, which was gross and concerning. Also I'm pretty sure I found chicken in my vegan drunken noodles as the piece tasted completely different from the soya pieces and had a different texture. Very unimpressed

Very personable staff and very tasty food and yummy drinks.

This was meant to be a colleagues lunchtime meal but it soon became more than just lunch. We extremely enjoyed the food, the drinks and the atmosphere.

naresh was a great server. thank you so much for the kind service!

It was a lovely visit, our server Naresh was really helpful. Would visit again

Alex is the boss! Our table was actually booked for the wrong date for a surprise birthday but Alex whisked us up and made our experience super special. Service and hospitality really was top notch all night. Thank you so much!!

Alex at the Islington branch was GENUINELY the most amazing incredible waiter I have ever had the pleasure to meet. He made our dinner better than any other dining experience we’ve ever had. Thankyou Alex, you’re a treasure.

Great atmosphere! Great service!! Great food!!! Alex was indeed a perfect hostess!!!

Mesi was the best. Thank you so much! Food is absolutely amazing

Amazing customer service! We had a lovely time, especially for a friend’s birthday.

Love this place food is lovely all the time service not always on point but still okay hense the 2 stars, wings are absolutely amazing and the chicken Singapore noodles are so delicious

It's not the first we are coming here. The food is absolutely amazing quality and super tasty. Thank you so much Mesi! Best host as always!

Thank you so much for your food and service I enjoyed to come to your restaurant. The service received from staff is very good &manager she is very good with us thank you so much & we will definitely visit again👍👍

Food was beautifully served however service charge was too high and easily missed as being an option. Staff at check out had attitude issues when requesting removal of services charge.

The food was very tasty, the service was attentive and fast. I recommend visiting!

Embarrassingly small portion of the Beef Rendang. Not even enough for one person and very over priced. Would not recommend. Thai green was also flavourless with overcooked chicken

They are arrogant & rude. Customer service is not a priority here. Sure the food is ok but when you are charging twice as much as the same quality available at a takeaway 1 mile away you need to dress it up, be nice, friendly, even make your guests feel valued (god forbid) & give your punters a reason to pay the extra.

As regular customers, we must admit this place always meets our high gourmet food expectations. Staff is very friendly and Mesi who is the friendliest team member delivers premium customer service. She is bubbly, knowledgeable and always has a warm tone. Food is fantastic. Recommended for all ages!

Good luck making a booking over the telephone.

We were served very friendly and attentive by Sai.

We had a delicious meal at Banana Tree Islington. Vamshi helped us in a very friendly and attentive way. I recommend this restaurant!

Food is delicious, but amazed at how unhelpful that guy on the phone was, when I called to ask that my delivery order be made gluten free (since they allow for some dishes to be gluten free, but you have to call to let them know). Very rude and poor customer service. I asked to speak with someone else, and he said that he was the manager. Please find a new manager.

Really chill atmosphere, nice srervice and such good vegan and gluten free pad Thai!

Very well decorated place, the food was abundant and tasty! The people who attended us were very friendly. I recommend it!

The service was excellent. The person that met us was warm and welcoming and our server, Nair, was very friendly and attentive. The food was delicious, although with a little less rice and a little more sauce our main course would have been perfect. The prawn crackers were the best we’d ever eaten and the pandan pancake filled with coconut was scrumptious. Overall a great experience and we will definitely be back.

Thank you Sai for our delicious dinner!!!!

Delicious dishes, the meat is tender, tasty and juicy. The welcome is pleasant and the atmosphere is warm, we had a pleasant time with the family.

Maria was the best manager and I enjoyed my birthday at the banana’s

We came to celebrate my sister’s birthday and Maria did her best to fulfil our wishes

After reading the reviews, I had high expectations, but the food was disappointing. As a fan of Vietnamese and Thai cuisine, I found this to be a poor imitation of both. I won’t be returning.

Very average food. As someone mentioned, they ask for a good review when you visit them, therefore, all these great reviews can’t be fully trusted.

We went to Banana Tree, Angel to celebrate my friend’s diploma, and overall, it was a great experience. The Laksa I had was slightly different from what I remember (maybe there’s a new chef), but the highlight of our visit was the exceptional service. A special shoutout to Mesi, who went above and beyond to make our day special. She not only provided excellent service but also recommended the best dessert we’ve ever had at Banana Tree. Her team’s customer service was outstanding—they were attentive, friendly, and made us feel welcome. I highly recommend visiting when Mesi and her team are on shift for a top-notch experience.

Vamshi was fantastic and was really lovely. Thank you

Went with a friend as I had never been. Food was delicious, the service and atmosphere was nice and quiet as we went for an early dinner when there was almost nobody in the restaurant. I recommend to anyone

Had an amazing dinner and was served by Sai.

Pleasant simple no frills experience, host were great and accommodating to us and the little one! :)

Amazing place to dine in! Absolutely lovely and helpful staff ! Will definitely be back ❤️

Vamshi was excellent. Extremely helpful, nice, and really swift!

Ordered online paid £15 plus delivery which isn’t cheap! They only gave me 4 prawns I’ve ordered before and it normally 8 completely unfair considering this is a £15 pad Thai! Do better

Nair was really and made sure we were all comfortable with our food and everything she was really nice and pleasant she was a true star for the day 🙌🏽

Main was cold, I reckon it was microwave cooked. Stairs to toilets was filthy and overall the place smells bad. I live locally and will never return.

Manager was rude but the other waiting staff we very pleasant. Food was okay, small portions for the price.

Really good place ,nice food and great customer service

Very good!! The team is so lovely I will definitely come back again

Poor service and rude staff. This place is more of a delivery kitchen than restaurant

Great food and amazing cocktails. Excellent service, Zainab was fantastic! Highly recommend!

had a very pleasant birthday lunch!!! service was quick and efficient and the employees were also all very nice! shout out to Mesi and Naizeb!!
