Banana Tree Haywards Heath in Mid Sussex

Had a wonderful meal 3 years ago and went back again but was very disappointed in the food Cocktails tasted pre made . Started were great. Main , tasted microwaved, rice dry and overcooked, crackers on the side stale . Spoke with great waitress who refunded the main . Really lovely staff but food was very disappointing.

I loooooved this FABULOUS restaurant- great place if you want a date to lead somewhere (the bedroom) *wink*

This was my first experience of Banana Tree and I wasn't disappointed. i arrived early to wait for my friend and had a warm welcome from Erik who set me up with a drink and some delicious snacks. I really liked the atmosphere and decor. When my friend arrived Alison looked after us really well and offered us some useful advice on ordering etc. We loved the extensive drinks menu too. The food was delicious, I loved the Prawn Pad which had just the right amount of chilli heat and other interesting flavours. Overall, a great experience in terms of the welcome, food and service. Thank you Erik and Alison.

An excellent dinner for the two of us served exquisitely by Alison and Kim

Great food and service. Alison has be amazing and even brought out a birthday cake for my daughter as we mentioned earlier in the night it was her birthday. Looking forward to coming back

Delicious food, and good value for a takeaway when you order through Deliveroo! The pad Thai and beef curry were particularly good. The portions could have been slightly larger but guess that’s a sign of how good it tasted!

Great food in a great spot. Alison in particular was a great server thank you

Erik, grada and alison were great. Bottomless was great. Very well ran, never with an empty glass.

Erik Alison were amazing and very warm and welcome

Reasonable quality Asian chain restaurant. Tasty curries, but the rice and coleslaw that accompanied them were very dry.

We had a lovely family meal here, the food was delicious and excellent!

Fabulous establishment, thoroughly enjoyed! Dog friendly as an extra bonus!

Alison and Erik were helpful and friendly, and the food was great!

Alison and Erik were such amazing waiters and the food was insane. Will definitely be coming again!

Always a lovely time when I walk into Banana tree. Never disappointed with my meals nor the service. Beef Rendang is my go to. Chicken Katsu is a strong second. Shout to the OG Alison; always such lovely service from her.

Lovely food and outstanding service from Alison and Taby. Even the kids loved it! Many thanks

Alison was a LOVELY host. Truly made my first experience in London a memorable one.

Lovely restaurant and customer service

Excellent service and the food tasted fabulous.

Alison and Giada were both great 👌

Delicious food and quality drinks. Lovely.

Kim and tabatha an absolute credit to the restaurant some of the nicest and most polite servers we’ve met. AM rude and in public rude to staff. Starters incredible mains absolutely not worth having. Will not be visiting again.

Just had a really nice lunch , great service by Erik and Alison !

Erik and Alison were very friendly

Alison and Kim really friendly and the food was great!

Had a lovely dinner - Penang Curry and the Railway Rice bowl - lovely, flavoursome and good portions. Had to do banana fritters with coconut ice cream to follow. Yum. All in all a lovely meal with good service from the friendly team. It wasn't busy so a lovely quiet meal.

Lovely as always! Allison is always so kind and attentive!

Alison was brilliant. The food was amazing.

Great meal and service from Alison and Kim.😃

Only 4 stars in atmosphere because more people need to come here. It’s wonderful for so many reasons thank you so much Erik and Alison!

Had a great experience. Lovely service from Alison and Giada.

Great experience, Alison and Giada were lovely and very kind. Would definitely recommend.

Was excited about trying this place as such good reviews, but was nothing special. Spring rolls could be frozen ones from Iceland. Small portions, small flavours... Expected more for those prices. £17.50 for a shallow, side plate size dish of curry! Certainly not the aromatic fresh flavours I'd hope for at a pan Asian restaurant.

Erik and Priya were amazing. Very friendly and the food was absolutely brilliant. They both made sure that everything was good and on time. Would highly recommend visiting

Super friendly environment. Great food

Erik was an excellent host and a funny guy! Ramen and pad thai were both spot on. Highly recommend!

We booked a table in advance and stood waiting to be acknowledged while the man at door dealt with a loud table giving them cups and bits and pieces. He then turned and I said we had book and he waved at the table next to the loud group, I said perhaps we could sit over the other side, he did not like this idea and said we'll this is the only table and I said I just want it a little quieter please. He said it is going to get busy tonight and going to be noisy everywhere. No other table around is was filled during our visit and there was a whole area at the back that was empty. The drinks orders and food were thankfully taken by other staff who were quite nice and food came very quickly. The Laska was apparently very good as was the Pad Thai and the masamam curry but the ramen was bland and there are no table sauces to spice it up.Would I return probably not.

Food was amazing !! Also Erik the waiter was amazing very funny and welcoming!

Had such a lovely evening full of laughs, great service from Grik and Alison. Food was incredible too 🙂

This is our favourite place in Haywards heath, it's a must for pleasant service and great food. Always attentive staff and the food is yummy

I recently visited and had a wonderful experience! The friendly staff made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived, providing excellent service throughout our stay. The atmosphere was both intense and beautiful, creating a vibrant and lively environment that truly enhanced our time there. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking to enjoy great hospitality in a captivating setting!

Came back again for lunch because the food is delicious! As usual great service from Erik. Thank you!

Excellent food, generous portions, very friendly service (thanks Giada!) and a great atmosphere. We were seated in the quieter half of the restaurant which made conversation easier. The food wasn't served instantly, which I like as it usually means it's cooked to order. Highly recommend.

Amazing food and brilliant efficient service

We came for a bottomless brunch and had an excellent time. Very accommodating staff, excellent service and delicious food and Prosecco. A special thanks to Alison and Erik. We will definitely be returning soon, if not tomorrow!

Allison and Mariela gave excellent service for our bottomless brunch. Highly recommend

Myself and the team spent the evening at the Haywards Heath - Banana Tree….we couldn’t have made a better choice. Erik , Giada & Alison were absolutely amazing!

Really lovely food and great service from Alison and Giada

Came here for a midweek late lunch with family. Wonderful food and space. Erik and Alison were so friendly, helpful and generous. I used to go to the one in Battersea many years ago- so pleased to find one closer to Brighton! Will be back! :)

Second time here and have to say the food was amazing really tasty and well presented.. . Service tip top, Mariela & Erik we're welcoming, and gave us excellent service Thank you we will be back!

We had a lovely lunch. The lunchtime menu was good value for money. And the service was amazing. I accidentally ordered the wrong thing for myself (way too spicy) and they exchanged it for something different even though it was completely my fault... Above and beyond service. Thank you to Giada and Mariela. Much appreciated ☺️

Excellent service Alison was amazing with great customer service. Will definitely come again 😄

Lovely food, great service and atmosphere - thank you Alison & Tabitha ❤️

Nice ambiance, neat and clean place. Got a seat straight away. Amazing Laksa, 2-1 mocktail and the delicious coconut pancake dessert. Great taste. Alison and Mariela were great hosts- thank you so much !
