  “The vibes of the place was nice, outside seating was comfortable and nice to sit down. Service was okay but not much conversation or interaction with server so not sure why there was a service charge- was removed. Waited around 25-30 minutes for food, Banana tree prawn curry was really good, steak pad Thai wasn’t the best as steak was a bit dry and noodles looked like it sat for quite a while before serving. Spring rolls was silly for the price considering there was four with wilted lettuce. Overall the food and service was okay but ‘okay’ at most.”

  “Great food and very attentive staff. We were in a rush for the theatre and staff (Irinai) ensured we were looked after very quickly. We need vegan and also vegan gluten free food and we were fully catered for. The food was lovely. My daughter loved in it. As a bonus I hadn't realised that children eat free! Bargain in city centre Birmingham.”

  “Very nice little restaurant. The cocktails were actually very nice, the two for one deal were not bad at all. I didn’t try the food but I’ve heard good things but it was overall a nice spot.”

  “It was lunchtime and I stopped by for the first time without any expectation. Franklin welcomed me with a big smile and suggested a delicious ramen, which I enjoyed while appreciating a nice view and my book. Thank you, Franklin, for your attentive service and kindness. I will definitely return with my family and friends.”

  “We had a really lovely dinner at Banana Tree, a cosy Southeast Asian place at a convenient location in Bullring. We really enjoyed the bottomless bowls offer, which was great value, and the highlight was all the upgraded curries, plus the amazing pad Thai. However, the Mekong prawns and satay skewers were disappointing. Thank you to James and Kristina for a friendly and attentive service throughout too. We definitely would love to come back and try more of their dishes!”

  “Really recommend this place to anyone, I had the sweetcorn fritters and the tofu banana curry. The sweetcorn fritters were, without doubt, the star of the show! They were amazing, I wish I could've had a plate full of them for a main. The tofu curry was very nice, a little too fruity for my liking but that's just me, it was my first time trying tofu and it was really good! The food was a little slow coming out, but the food itself was delicious. You can pay via a QR code on your table which makes things a bit easier too.”

  “I visited Banana Tree at the Bullring to get a quick bite to eat before my train journey home. They offer South East Asian cuisine with many Thai dishes such as curries and Pad Thai, the interior is pretty comfortable, and there is also outdoor seating. It’s located in the outdoor part of the Bullring, next to Five Guys and a stone’s throw away from St Martin’s Church. The prices are very reasonable, it isn’t too expensive, and their current Partnership with Tastecard allows a further 25% off between Sunday and Thursday. A service charge is added to the bill; removing this wasn’t a problem after asking my waiter. I was originally struggling between two dishes, and asked my waiter for advice. I went for the Pad Thai with chicken. It had some nice flavours, although there was an aftertaste which wasn’t pleasant at all, and made it difficult to eat, along with the bulkiness of the noodles. The chicken was tasty, and I would have liked a touch more, but all in all, it had potential. I just think I may have gone for the wrong dish on the menu. My server was friendly and had a positive attitude and seemed happy to be at work; however, another server seemed less interested and didn’t deliver the same good service. I’m not sure if I would return here as the aftertaste made a good part of my meal inedible, and I left feeling disappointed, although it does have potential and I appreciate the labelling of dishes which could be gluten-free on their menu and allergen awareness (Although listing some dishes as GFO could be misleading as it doesn’t explain the adaptations they’re making to the dish to make it gluten-free and a dedicated menu would be better)”

  “I had an amazing experience! The food was absolutely delicious—full of rich flavors, perfectly seasoned, and beautifully presented. Every dish felt fresh and authentic, making it hard to choose a favorite. The drinks were just as impressive, refreshing and expertly prepared, complementing the meal perfectly. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the staff were super friendly and attentive throughout the visit. I’ll definitely be coming next time I’m the city!”
