“We had a fantastic family meal at Banana Tree! 🍽️ We ordered a real mix of dishes, including the Thai calamari, Malaysian satay skewers, Mekong prawns, steamed chicken dumplings, duck pancakes, the legendary beef rendang and grilled spice chicken. Everything was delicious and full of flavour, with the chilli sauce being an absolute standout! 🌶️ The staff were really friendly and attentive, and we never felt rushed, which made it a lovely relaxed family meal. Our server Wilktor was really brilliant. There was something for everyone and we all thoroughly enjoyed it. We’ll definitely be back! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
