Banana leaf - South Indian Restaurant in Redondo Beach

Been here a few times and food has been consistently good! Kudos to the owner for prioritizing freshly made food - it stands out for sure. Feels like home cooked food with an elevated dining experience. The Redondo beach outlet has a great vibe, with a bar and live music area. Don’t miss their special banana leaf lunches (yes actual banana leaf lunch in LA), it gets booked out fast. Definitely try the jackfruit briyani if you are vegetarian ( tons of options for vegan/vegetarian diets, and they also cater to gluten free needs). Remember to request for extra spice if you want your food spicy - they are all for it!
