Banana Leaf is a solid spot for South Indian food if you’re around Niagara Falls and craving something a bit different. It’s known for its buffet, where you can sample a wide range of vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes. Their fish fry and fish curry are especially popular, and the dosas are a hit too. The atmosphere is pretty casual, and it’s a nice place to relax with friends or family.

Overall, the food is tasty and well-priced, making it a good option if you’re into South Indian flavors

Authentic South Indian food. The buffet is sumptuous and incredibly tastier. Mizhagu Rasam - the best I had had in US. Idli was super soft and is part of the buffet. Filter coffee was too good as well. Highly recommended for authentic South Indian food.

The food is awesome and very authentic, as I am from south can really tell the taste of it. The price is little high but understand it’s a tourist place. We ate three meals in our two days stay in Niagara. We tried other one but that was awful experience so we came back next day to Banana Leaf and my kids said this is where we will eat tomorrow too😀🥰.. and the chai is yummy.

First of all, thank you very much to the super friendly staff, the owner and even the cook. I've very rarely met such an enthusiastic and passionate team.
The food is terrifyingly good! And I say this after having reviewed hundreds of places. Everything was ultra-fresh and spiced to perfection. It is really hard to name a favourite from the buffet. Note that the selection is huge, so one can barely try it all. Best would be to go there yourselves.
