Banana Leaf, Borivali
10 people recommend, 3 warn against itvia r/mumbai·13 comments quoted below
What people say, in short
Banana Leaf is a South Indian chain that many people recommend, with commenters praising its benne dosa and suggesting a Bangalore-style masala dosa; one fan calls its pav bhaji uttapam the best around. The caveats are real, though: one former regular says quality and service have dropped, another calls the food inauthentic and overhyped, and one was put off by an overly sweet dosa and accompaniments.
