The Banana Leaf Apolo - Little India Arcade

For Indian cookery to be done right, time needs to be taken, curries need to be simmered, and diners should learn to unwind, kick back and relax. This is the ethos at Banana Leaf Apolo, and it’s a formula that has made waves in Singapore’s traditionally harried and hurrying masses. Diners flock to Banana Leaf Apolo’s Little India Arcade restaurant, along Serangoon Road, to take the edge off city living and indulge in the fragrant, spicy delicacies of Indian cuisine, accompanied by a generous glass of wine, preferably!

While casual dining is what Banana Leaf Apolo is famous for (and by casual we mean really casual, like kick off your shoes and do some discreet yoga while waiting for your food to arrive casual), this Little India restaurant has long been a default destination for those looking to put on a little culinary celebration – birthday parties, corporate bashes, anniversaries (and weddings). And by long we mean for the past forty­odd years. Indeed, Banana Leaf Apolo’s family of Indian restaurants, including this one down Serangoon Road, are among the longest standing in Singapore. Put yourself under the tender care of this venerable Indian eatery and allow yourself to drift into gastronomic nirvana.
