Banana Tree - Angel in Islington

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.

Vamshi was fantastic and was really lovely. Thank you

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.

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.

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

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

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 ❤️

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.

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!!

The staff were so good, amazing and attentive with the group and everything was lovely including the food.

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

Sai was an excellent waiter/tress tks

Below average food. Felt like everything is from a frozen section of a supermarket. The quality of the food nowhere justifies the prices. I got the wings, dumplings and gochujang rice bowl. Barely edible. The drinks were from low quality juice cartons.

Honestly slightly below average food We got 4 dishes and all 4 were borderline disappointing. I don't know who I'd recommend this restaurant to.

I think it was one of the best places in London. :)

The food was absolutely delicious, with fresh ingredients and rich flavors that stood out in every bite and the ambiance was warm and inviting, making it a perfect place to dine. The pricing was reasonable for the quality and portion sizes. The staff was very attentive. Overall, I highly recommend this restaurant and would definitely visit again!"😊

Nice food and good customer service too

All round excellent service and quality food

Taste is good I recommend this for everyone

Excellent all round will make this a regular place to eat Valley for Money

Food and services were amazing recommended it

Amazing food, lovely staff, well worth it!

I had an amazing dining experience at Banana Tree Islington! The atmosphere was warm and inviting, with a modern yet cozy vibe that made it perfect for both casual meals and special occasions. The food was absolutely delicious – full of rich, authentic Southeast Asian flavors, beautifully presented, and served in generous portions. The staff were friendly, attentive, and went above and beyond to ensure we had a great experience. Whether you're craving a flavorful curry, tasty noodles, or refreshing drinks, this place delivers an exceptional culinary experience – I highly recommend it!

Absolutely brilliant service and gorgeous food

Great experience my first time there as well. I proper enjoyed it

Absolutely fantastic evening at the Banana Tree! Top quality food (satay to die for!). I was on a business trip with friends and we all absolutely loved it. The service was fantastic and we didn’t have to wait an age for food which is always a bonus! We will definitely be going back!

Amazing food great staff all round well worth a visit

iam indan i visited this restaurant very neat and clean Everything is very goos

Mesi an Maria, were very helpful an friendly, amazing experience x

Excellent restaurant and brilliant vibe

It's a great restaurant and tasty food

Awful, they have people trying to buy positive reviews.

lovely food and lovely service !!

really enjoyed eating here nice clean atmosphere and nicely decorated the food and drinks was very nice and tasty

food is good but tiny portions also i hear they are paying people for food reviews do not fall for this scam a waiter asked if i wanted anything else i asked for a cup of water and he sighed and walked off

Me my partner and family came here a couple of weeks ago love the food we tried multiple different things, will defiantly be going back

Very poor and trying to get fake positive reviews

Food you get for your money and nice presentation

I had dinner at The Banana Tree in Islington last Saturday, and it was fantastic! The food was amazing, and the manager, Mesi, went above and beyond to ensure I had everything I needed. A big thank you for the wonderful experience! I will definitely be returning! :)

Nice midrange restaurant. We went right when the kitchen was closing so probably didn't get the full experience. Had the laksa, which hit the spot.

Very good hospitality and approachable staff.The food was great and will visit again.

I love the range of cuisine here. Staff are always friendly and the restaurant is big enough to never feel crowded.

A very good experience with extreme quality and tasty food.

Loved this place, would definitely go again

Our main courses were delicious as usual but I tried one of the new side dishes of a Korean Drug Egg which is supposed to be soft boiled but was completely hard boiled and not nice at all. We asked for dessert menus that never came and in the end paid up using the QR code and left without desserts.

Visited for lunch today. Thankfully we booked a table as it was packed! Had the chicken ramen, which was absolutely delicious, along with a lychee juice 😋 Was alittle slow to take our order, so could potentially do with another waiter on the floor on a Saturday afternoon if it's always that busy. Other than that, it was lovely. Will definately be back to try the 2 for 1 cocktails.

Incredibly rude and unprofessional staff. Okay food

Was amazing food and very kind and respectful

Alex was an absolutely perfect host, looked after us very well and the food was fantastic. Lovely to have a table of 9 accommodated so easily. Thank you team!!

Great service especially from Vamshi

Was a great experience, amazing food, welcoming staff, would definitely recommend

Food is very delicious and i recommend it.

Incredible service and amazing food!

Popped in for lunch, great selection on menu, plenty of GF, meal was so tasty great service definitely return definitely recommend. 😁

Mesi was very friendly and a very good host. The banana tree spiced noodles were perfect!

Great dinner at Banana Tree Angel! Mesi and the team were very welcoming and accommodating! Had a Beef Rendang which was absolutely mouthwatering and full of flavours. The Bao Bomb dessert was delicious too! Would definitely recommend!

Delicious food and great value. Shamil was welcoming, attentive and delivered great customer service.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Banana Tree in Islington, and I must say, the experience was fantastic! I tried the vegan chicken katsu, and it was nothing short of incredible. The texture was spot on, and the flavors were absolutely delicious. It’s rare to find a vegan dish that not only satisfies your cravings but also surprises your taste buds. The crispy coating paired perfectly with the accompanying sauce, making for a delightful meal that I can't stop thinking about. The atmosphere of the restaurant was warm and inviting, and the staff were friendly and attentive. I highly recommend Banana Tree to anyone looking for an excellent dining experience, especially if you're a fan of vegan cuisine. I can’t wait to return and try more dishes! Thank you, Banana Tree, for such a wonderful meal!

Quick service, lovely servers. Will visit again

Nair was super attentive with a beautiful warm smile. The blast of icy wind every time the door opened next to us suitable only for huskies.

We recently visited 'Banana Tree' branch at Islington and the staff member Naresh initially took our orders. When I said that I was allergic to specific food ingredients, he patiently checked and gave me the list of all the items in the menu that were suitable for me. Sai from his team also attended us and she was very warm , welcoming and checked on us to know if we were happy with the food that was served and if we needed any further help. Naresh, Sai and the team were friendly ,customer centric and received us well. Many thanks to the team for their service to us and we will definitely visit ‘ Banana Tree’ - Islington branch again in the near future. Best Wishes, Madhavi

Great food and atmosphere, specially thanks to Vamshi ☺️

Really enjoyed the food, I had the chargrilled duck. The menu has lots of good options and the pricing is reasonable.

Food was deliciously spicy! Good portions ! Vamshi our waiter was a wonderful host!! He and his colleague sang a happy birthday song for my wife.

Lovely, easy, fast, punchy and really good food! Thank you. Sai was a fab waiter!!

Les plats sont excellents, le service est rapide et le personnel tres agréable. Nous avons été réellement transporté en Asie avec ces plats très réussis. Excellent rapport qualité prix.

We've been greeted with a smile by the staff upon arrival, and they've been very attentive all throughout our stay. Like to give special thanks to Mesi, who was serving our table. She is very professional and friendly. The food was very tasty and filling, lots of variety. The atmosphere is very relaxed and cosy, with nice decoration. This was my third time dining here and will definitely coming back. One of my fav restaurant in London.

Great service delicious food, love the beef rendang. Other dishes great too. Pad Thai possibly the best ever in UK.

We had a lovely dinner and Alex, our server, was very attentive. Lovely time

ALLERGY WARNING Banana tree have changed the ingredients of some of their existing dishes without telling customers. I had an allergic reaction as the Thai green curry now contains fish and shellfish. They should notify customers that the dish recipe has changed.

Parecía un 10-20 % más caro que otros restaurantes de la misma calidad. Buen servicio pero ruidoso, así que algo difícil de escuchar a la persona al otro lado de la mesa. El Sauvignon blanco y rosado eran ambos buenos pero £ 1 - 2 demasiado. El servicio fue amable y eficiente. Ambos de nuestros primeros platos fueron menos que interesantes (croquetas de bacalao tailandés y gambas de cacahuete mariposa). Platos principales mejor (curry verde tailandés y pollo al curry con cacahuetes y coco (olvidar nombre exacto) ) pero tamaños de porción más caros y moderados de lo ideal.

Alex was the best waiter ever ! Give him a pay rise 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

really nice food, would come again. alex was lovely as well x

Amazing service! Alex 5/5! Great at making food recommendations and very funny!

Excellent and attentive service, great food and drinks - all round a great experience

Only one world......satisfied! Food was amazing, tasty and well presented. Our server was lovely and helpful, thank you for making our dinner so special and taking care of the allergy request so professional. staff were super friendly too! The food was beyond our expectations, so tasty - you must try the calamari, green curry and Bao bun! Sooo Yummy! Definitely recommend this place!

Our Waitress Nair was amazing such great service and gave such good recommendations. Such friendly staff at Banana Tree Islington!

I had a truly wonderful experience at Banana Tree. From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the day only got better thanks to the exceptional service provided by Mesi and Vamshi. Vamshi took great care of us, ensuring we were happy and well looked after throughout our visit. His professionalism and attention to detail made us feel truly special, and he served us with such class and grace that it elevated the entire dining experience. I'm more than happy to recommend Banana Tree to all my friends and family--it's a place worth visiting, and I will definitely be back soon. A special shoutout to our servers who absolutely deserves a raise for their outstanding service!

Great staff and really friendly

Loved the atmosphere and kind staff 👍👍 Vamshi provided excellent service and was very understanding when it came to the food quality.

Vamshi, our waiter was seriously helpful and polite. A buzzy pre-theatre visit. We ate the "new" options which were delicious.

If there were minus reviews I would give it. Firstly they took a long period of time to even take our order. We were not offered any water on arrival although other guests after us were. The mocktails were incredibly sweet and basically just glorified rubicon. The food was oily. Complete waste of money and time. Go to this restaurant instead: EDO Izakaya in Old Street. It is 10x better

nair did an amazing job! her service was great! thank you

The food was great!!! However, our waiter was a bit pushy towards the end. We should leave a review at the end and mention the waiter's name - that's of course not a problem at first. But unfortunately he was constantly at our table and also looked at our cell phones and literally checked how we wrote the review - we found that a bit inappropriate. It should be noted that our waiter didn't really care about us. A very nice woman (we assume the manager) brought us to the table at the beginning and was super friendly and also came regularly to all the tables to check that everything was going well - unfortunately our waiter didn't do that and we didn't always order from him either . Overall, I recommend this local because the offers are great and the food is TOP!!! Points are only deducted for the pushy waiter.

Had a great Christmas dinner here with a large work party! The staff made it very easy to book and were happy to answer all of my questions. Everyone enjoyed the food and there were many options that accommodated for different diets. Special thanks to Karem for brilliant service. Would definitely recommend this place for a big group booking!

Brought own atmosphere Reunion of old colleagues Pricey if truth told

Really lovely service. We said we were going to the ballet and they served us v quickly. Kids meal really good value

The food tasted very good and we were served very nicely. Our waiter VAMSHI served us very well and made us feel very comfortable. Gladly again! 😁

We had such an amazing Night. Our Waiter Vamshi was very nice and always hat a smile. The food was amazing- as always. we will come Back!!!!!

Vamshi provided the best 5* service. He is an asset to the company and always took care of our needs. Very proactive and had good product knowledge. The best service i have ever had at a restaurant

I had the beef rendang and it was delicious, although the rice was a bit dry and rubbery. Service was fast, food was about par for a chain set up

Great food, great service and great vibe.

amazing food and service couldn’t be happier !!
