Apollo Banana Leaf - Wandsworth

Always superb. Especially the aubergine curry deep fried first then curried. Licensed/ BYOB

Excellent food! Expect spice, coconuts and lots of flavour. It's a BYOB or buy there. If you're visiting on a Friday or Saturday make sure you book as it gets very busy. The mutton rolls are amazing.

This was my first ever time in a Sri Lankan restaurant and I liked it. We decided to go there for a friend's birthday dinner on what turned out to be a very busy Saturday night, so the atmosphere was very lively due to big group tables of people. After studying the menú beforehand I decided to go for the mutton rolls as a starter, and I went for 3 of them...but 2 of them would of been plenty! I very much enjoyed the crispy breadcrumb exterior of these mutton filled pancakes! The meat inside was tasty and they were nice and filling! For my main I decided to have the mutton string hopper fry which is fried shredded noodles cooked with vegetables, spices and mutton. I found it to be nice, albeit a bit dry but the flavours, spices and kick of chili heat was there, a nice dish! I've decided to give it 4 stars as we waited nearly an hour and a half for our food! I know it was ridiculously busy but from what I could see the food is quite easy to knock up and send out...maybe their menú is a bit too big considering they have an Indian menú also. Friendly and patient staff! Worth a visit if you enjoy your Sri Lankan food and value for money.

Excellent Sri Lankan food. I’ve been coming here for the best part of 20 years. Nothing much has changed thankfully including the legendary decor. Outstanding value, and no corkage charge, although the rice portions are now weirdly expensive.

Food quality excellent We visited Monday 29 August (bank holiday and while arriving late for lunch we felt that they were keen to get everyone out by the 3.00pm closing time
