Booked for Birthday party

Not only was the food absolutely delicious but Shahid & Anamul were a delight. So friendly and it was important to them that it was a visual experience for guests too. So many compliments about the food from all ages on the night. Don’t hesitate to book them. They are fantastic.

Booked for Celebration

I was absolutely delighted with the service, food and communication from Bananaleaf. We had huge compliments on the food and I am so pleased we chose Bananaleaf. Shahid's communication before, during and after the event was excellent. Shahid took time to understand what we needed for our very special and precious event and delivered exactly what we agreed. It was a pleasure to deal with Bananaleaf and I recommend them wholeheartedly as you plan you own special event. Our sincere thanks for your work and for your totally gorgeous food which our guests enjoyed so very much.

Booked for Birthday party

Kash and his team provided a great Indian Curry Bowl service for my son's party and left all our guests pleased with the food. The team was responsive and even catered for our requirement in making the dishes spicy and provided a 5* service throughout. I would not hesitate in recommending them to my friends/family.

Booked for Corporate Function

Kash and the crew were amazing, efficient and above all the food was incredible. We were able to box up leftovers too which was great! As a socially conscious business we were delighted that any further leftovers were taken to a charity to feed the homeless. We look forward to working with them again! Thank you!

Booked for Wedding

Nitin and his team were thoroughly professional and charming. They arrived on time, set up with no fuss and produced a delicious Butter Chicken curry with all the supplementary dishes for our 100 wedding guests. We had ordered about 30 extra portions and they all went in record time - testament to our guests high opinion of the food. Clearing up whilst the rest of the wedding Party was in progress was equally efficient and unobstrusive. Anu Caterers highly recommended. Philip & Claire, Chichester

We delivered next level parties for exceptional companies

We also did more than 40,000 birthday parties. Probably, including your neighbour’s recent big bash.
