Banana Tree - Chelmsford in Chelmsford

Dino was excellent in presenting the menu and recommending dishes. The atmosphere was absolute amazing and the food outstanding as always. Thank you!

I had fab service from Jay, and recommended my food which it was delicious!

Excellent food was great service was excellent

Outstanding in all aspects of food service provision, quality, portion size, and taste. A big thank you to Stefania!

Amazing food & excellent service

Jay is an awesome waiter, he really looked after us and made our night a memorable one. His attentive service and sense of humour were second to none.

Very noisy Cheeky service charge

Had a great meal with family. Excellent friendly service from Liv and Jay. The manager Stef also came over to check all was good. Very nice atmosphere too. Highly recommended. Thank you Banana Tree Chelmsford.

Me, wife and in-laws travelled to the branch in Chelmsford on my birthday for an evening meal, and we were far from disappointed. The store manager came over and clarified the allergens menu, and though it limited my choices, the recommendations made were exceptional. The bang bang broccoli is legendary. Freshly crispy and generous portions were served. 1 portion satisfied 4 of us. Next, I ordered duck as a main, and it was lovely and moist with a crispy skin and a tantalising flavour. Another "main" i ordered was the Laksa without the aubergines. This was my favourite meal during the whole experience. I have always seen this type of food in films and have always wanted to try it. I'm sure glad that I did. The coconut and spiced soup, with slices of chicken mixed with rice noodles and vegetables, were indescribable. A small handy wooden ladle made it very convenient to enjoy. I would recommend the bang bang broccoli and the Laksa. I have attached a video of the Laksa and a picture of the duck. Please let me know your thoughts. Bon Appetit.

Guri and daisy was amazing, fabulous hosts , lovely service, quick service, food was fabulous!

"I had an absolutely fantastic experience, largely thanks to Daisy's exceptional recommendations. From the moment we sat down, she guided us through the menu with an expert's eye, pointing out dishes that perfectly matched our tastes. Her detailed descriptions made choosing so much easier, and every selection she suggested was a hit. Daisy truly elevated our dining experience!"

The food was delicious, well priced and came fast. Jay and Daisy were very attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. 10/10 would recommend!

The serving on a banana leaf is not just a meal—it's a beautiful expression of tradition, warmth, and love. The vibrant colors, the natural elegance of the leaf, and the thoughtful arrangement make every bite feel like a celebration of culture and nature. And outstanding service by Daisy Ddin❤️❤️

Liv was a brilliant server Make the whole experience very smooth

Stefania was our server and she was great! Food was tasty and kid friendly too. Will be back!

Great food, the thai cod fritters, pad thai and chargrilled duck were delicious. Our server Ddin was charming and accommodating! Would come here again. Thank you!

First time we went, family of 4 to my Sons 16th Birthday. We enjoyed the foods, dessert's, drinks and atmosphere. Excellent customer service by Stefania who helped us with ordering and gave us a birthday cake slice! 10/10 service by Stefania and food; would happily come again!

Very pleasant service by Daisy. Excellent food always our top eating destinations in essex

We had a fabulous bottomless brunch at Banana Tree. Dina and Stefania were great!

Very average, it feels like it is going downhill. I have eaten here for years and it started off pretty good but my most recent meal in the evening on a Thursday was not good. One staff member appeared to have her children running around the restaurant, there was a near constant queue of delivery riders/drivers in the doorway, which creates a bad atmosphere and means you are competing with them/take away customers for the kitchen's attention, which in turn resulted in slow service... and when the food did materialize, i'm not sure why i did it ( probably because it looked a but like it had been sitting there for a while) , but I touched one of the edamame beans and it was stone cold, not room twmo, but refrigerated cold, and then i touched another and it was the same, cold edamame on my otherwise hot meal.. to the staff's credit, they remedied it instantly and at an individual level they were all nice people, and the food was nice, but I'm gonna thunk twice about ever eating there again, esp when turtle bay a few doors down had been revamped clearly with the aim of creating an environment to beckon people in to stay.

Really good service by Daisy and Gouri. Don’t expect food to be as spicy as it is back home. However, they are still really good.

Lovely evening, I always have the Thai Green Curry as it is so tasty and nowhere else compares! Daisy served us and had a bubbly personality which made our evening even more enjoyable.

We were served by three people and I remember Giro by name. They were very polite and hospitable... Lovely ambience and great food. Will visit again 😃

The staff were excellent, very polite and friendly. The food and drinks were great but it was the staff who made our experience more enjoyable.

Had a lovely time having Eid lunch with my daughter. Our server took great care us. I think his name was Guri? :) my daughter had the kids tofu katsu curry and she ate free. Loved my tofu laksa. Thank you, will be back soon!

Excellent food, great value and great service. Only slightly marked down on atmosphere due to the incredible noisy chairs. Need some rubber feet on them.

I have a new favourite curry laksa

Eachi and Everoration of Egypt.

Stefania has been absolutely brilliant for our girls night out!

Stefania was superb for our girls night out, amazing service and delicious drinks!

Stefania was incredible! She made us all feel so welcomed when we came in, and made sure we all enjoyed our experience.

We went to🍌 🌴 again today., As always brilliant food and service. Guri and Daisy were very helpful. One of our favourite places in Chelmsford.

The food was great, especially the Mango Rice Pudding. A special shoutout to the wonderful Stefania, she was amazing!

Lovely food and great service made us feel welcome and at home would most definitely recommend

Incredible service from the start from Jay! I have to say that he had a warm welcome to me and my family and was well accommodating. He was playful and made the experience fun and enjoyable for me and my family. He made great recommendations when it came to the menu and the choices were spot on . His female colleague was Also pleasant. Will come back for the service but definitely for the service!

pad thai to die for , back for it soon

Omg the insult!! Food was ok (spices) arrived cold but look what they sent us as bonus!! Bloody insulting 3 prawn crackers!! £50 pounds for a bang average tasteless meal and an envelope with 3 prawn crackers! Last time never again

One of the best dining experience. Stefania was amazing.

Ddin, on only his 2nd day, doing well & friendly / attentive

Cant fault it, everything was on the money definitely coming back again.Me and my son thoroughly enjoyed the meal. Thanks Flori

Had a lovely time with a very polite and charming server

Really quick and yummy service. Ricardo and guri were really lovely!

Lovely, helpful staff Food delicious

Fantastic service! Thanks to Stefania!

Wanted somewhere for lunch with the kids (adult kids) that would also be suitable for the vegan in our party and what a great choice it turned out to be. Being the old fuddy duddy in the group i'd never eaten this type of food before and I've missed out. Excellent food, great staff, our initial server Stefania (I hope I've got your name right) was superb as were the rest of the staff that served us, she tells you about the service charge on the bill and that if you wish you can remove it. Don't be tight people and show your appreciation for great staff. Highly recommended. Am already looking forward to my next visit.

Stefania and Ricardo are so amazing! The food was as always delicious (vegan pad Thai with tofu)! And the best ever spicy chilli home made paste !Happy women's day!!!! ;)

All the staff were lovely to talk to (and serve) and food was great. 2 for 1 cocktails on Friday night. 💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻

Really friendly service. Delicious food- couldn’t fault it in any way.

Our waitress stefania was lovely, and the food was amazing!

We were a big table on a business meal and were served by Alex who made our evening exceptional. All food and service was great! 2For1 cocktails were also very good!

Was lovely. Katsu curry satay skewers massam curry pad Thai (best ive had in a while and not enough of it) all tasted lovely. Service was good Stefania was lovely and attentive. Very quiet but we were eating at 4pm on a weekday so expected it to be very quiet . I'm sure the evening s and weekends are alot busier. All in all we would love to come back another day

Wonderful service and food Thanks Guri!

Ordered pad Thai and beef rendang, both of which were excellent and we finished it all. Our waitress was very attentive and bubbly. She had tattoos of a car and a bag (?). She is to be commended on her hospitality, not just to us but to everyone we saw her interact with. Thank you

Came here with family to celebrate a birthday. Absolutely amazing service from Daisy and really enjoyed the food and atmosphere. Will definitely be returning!

Service from Liv was lovely. Lemak curry was advertised as a mild curry but was spicy. Vegetarian Ramen, bang bang broccoli, and salt and chilli chips were great!

We cannot fault anything we've had here so far and believe me when i say we are working down the menu. Really tasty and fresh food. We have the papaya salad every visit. Cocktails are good too esp as BOGOF Staff are really lovely, atmosphere is good I think but we were too busy eating our food to ever notice 😀

Daisy was super nice, and even though we were a large group her and all the other servers were more than accommodating!:)
