We booked for my sister's hen do last weekend. The have a private room upstairs that has plenty of space and is away from the normal dining area. Although we were separate to the restaurant and bar, the service was still great and they didn't forget about us. All the staff that served us were very friendly, and the food and cocktails were lush. It was also really easy to pay on the app, it meant we could easily split it between a large group of people. Would visit again!

Great Asian fusion restaurant. Had a perfectly balanced Laksa (not too hot, not too tangy, not too salty!) with snappy noodles and a really crispy spicy grilled chicken that sang. My partner had a tender chilli beef with some fried to perfection nasi goreng. The food was great, no notes. They had 2 for 1 cocktails too, which was a cheeky plus.

This was meant to be a lovely family lunch out. We had looked at the menu from the Haywards Heath branch before we left, had chosen what we were going eat within our budget and dietary requirements and all seemed good but when we got there the lunch menu we had chosen from was not available and we ended up spending a lot more than we were planning. I hardly ate as the price difference was so huge, and so it ruined the best part of the day and I went hungry. We won't be coming again.

Eaten in - which was a good experience (good food and 2 for 1 cocktails). Recently ordered a couple of times via deliveroo and they appear to have really picked up their game though things still took a good while longer than other takeaways it wasn't hours. Food is really good but a main and a side is not enough (portion sizes are fairly small) if you are hungry you need to order a few extra sides per person.

First time here and the food was fantastic, good size portions and reasonably priced. Would definitely go back - really enjoyable. The only one thing I would say isn’t about the restaurant but the company policy of automatically adding the service charge to the bill isn’t my preferred approach. I’ll leave a tip if I want but please don’t force me to have awkward conversations.

Dropped in on Sunday evening and asked if they did a takeaway, they said yes and we had to choose from the main menu and ended up paying the same price! So over £50 for three Pad Thai and some crackers ! Hmm food was ok nothing amazing. But at those prices will think again. If you are offering take away, price accordingly and at least throw in some free crackers!

Fantastic Dining Experience at Banana Tree in Haywards Heath! I recently had the pleasure of organizing a lunch gathering for 23 people at Banana Tree in Haywards Heath, and I must say it was an absolutely delightful experience from start to finish. The restaurant, managed by Erik, exceeded our expectations in terms of service, ambiance, and most importantly, the mouthwatering South Eastern Asian dishes that left us craving for more. Having such a large group, we were pleased to find that Banana Tree had a dedicated room reserved for us. The seating area was well-arranged, providing comfort and ease of conversation among our party members. The atmosphere was warm and inviting. Now let's get to the highlight of lunch—the food! We indulged in a variety of dishes that showcased the rich and diverse flavors of South Eastern Asian cuisine. The Pad Thai Chicken was a true crowd-pleaser, with perfectly cooked noodles and just the right balance of tangy and savory flavors. The Green Curry Chicken had a delightful kick to it, and the aromatic herbs and spices transported us to the streets of Thailand. The Laksa Soup prawns, was delicious. The broth was fragrant and creamy. The Thai Massaman Curry Chicken and Malaysian prawn Kari with coconut milk was with velvety texture and the perfect marriage of spices. What impressed us even more was the attentive and prompt service provided by the staff. Despite the large group, our orders were served promptly, and the waitstaff ensured that everyone's needs were met with a smile. Erik, the manager, oversaw the smooth running of our lunch gathering, and his professionalism and attention to detail were commendable. Overall, I highly recommend Banana Tree in Haywards Heath, especially for gathering. The restaurant offers a fantastic dining experience, with delicious South Eastern Asian cuisine, excellent service, and a dedicated room for larger groups. Whether you're a fan of Thai, Malaysian or other South Eastern flavors, you'll find something to satisfy your taste buds. It's a true gem that should not be missed!
