A truly authentic tropical cuisine. They have variety of noodle bowls to die for. You can find most Malaysian Taiwanese street food here.
The food is delicious and the service is great! Used to go a few times a week when I lived in Calgary! Would definitely recommend it!

Food:
• The Hainanese Chicken rice was delicious. Everything about is was reminiscent to what we get at home. The rice, soya sauce, chili blend and chicken were all delicious and so flavorful. The aroma of ginger, garlic and steamed chicken was to die for and authentic.
• The nasi lemak combo had a huge portion. Rice, egg, anchovies, peanuts, cucumber, sambal and a huge side of chicken curry. I was in heaven after this dish. I even had half a portion for dinner that evening. The sambal was very authentic and spicy! The chicken curry was extremely flavorful and delicious. It all worked together as how a great Nasi Lemak usually does.
• The curry chicken with roti was also very good. The same curry chicken from the Nasi Lemak combo but with Roti Canai instead of rice. It all worked together and was appetizing. You can get either curry chicken or curry beef for the roti as well.
• The Curry Laksa was amazing. You have a choice between seafood, chicken, beef, fish or beef balls, or a vegetable laksa. Also, you can pick between yellow or vermicelli noodles. I went with the seafood and yellow noodle Laksa. My mom is from the part of Malaysia that specializes in Laksa and because of this she is an expert laksa maker and I am forever biased. However, the laksa here is delicious as ever. Although not my mothers level of laksa, it definitely is something I would order again and again. Great level of spice and extremely flavorful with spices. I also ordered a side of sambal to go with the laksa. This gives it an extra kick to the dish.

I love love love this place. I dream about their beef Curry and roti! Their Laksa is amazing too. And let's not forget about their Taiwanese fried chicken tenders!!!
Delicious! We had Roti Canai, Hainanese Chicken with Rice, and Seafood Tom Yum. Everything was delicious. Eat here, welcome to flavour town. They serve tepid water so get the tea or try one of their fancy drinks.
Looked at my trusty Zomato app for great Asian cuisines in Calgary and Banana Leaf Tropical Cuisine popped up with positive reviews. I was with 5 people and even if they were crowded they managed to accommodate us within 10 minutes. The food was very flavourful but there were some issues with the service. I was given the wrong drink and when I asked about it the man said that was what I ordered and it wasn’t. My friend’s other drink did not arrive at all throughout the meal even if we reminded them about it. But would still recommend this place because of the food. It’s a very small place.
Delicious food and amazing service! Everything we tried was perfectly spiced and full of flavor! The waitress was very attentive and fast. Will definitely be back!

We were a little skeptical based on the not so good reviews but we felt that the menu seemed interesting enough to give it a try and we are so glad that we did. Every single dish that we ordered was a hit.
We ordered roti canai and Taiwanese style crispy chicken nuggets for appetizers. The roti canai was so so so good, the roti itself was crispy from outside, soft and tender from inside and the curry was creamy and spicy and delicious. The chicken tenders were so crispy and moist and tender from inside.
For main we got Seafood laksa and Nasi Lemak combo. The seafood laksa was really good and the seafood was perfectly cooked. Nasi lemak had amazing delicious chicken curry with extremely tender chicken and the spicy sambal anchovies was also so good.
Everything was perfect. Another thing that I liked that they didn't "westernize" the spice level. Everything was perfectly spicy and I feel authentic.
I am surprised how this place doesn't have better reviews, maybe they don't have consistency but everything was delicious for us and in-fact it was one of the best Malaysian food that we had in North America.
went there for lunch on this wintery spring day. its a cozy restaurant which was about half filled when we got there at about 12:40 pm on a sunday. service was quick and efficient. mybhusband ordered the seafood laksa and honey milk ice tea to wash it down with. and i got the beef curry laksa and mango iced milk tea. the laksa was hot,spicy and salty goodness which cleared out ur sinuses. the portion was generous. price wise it was on par with calgary standards which in my opinion is always too high. the bill came to $39 plus tip.
Amazing Place with Authentic Flavours, the Beef Rendang was amazing and the service was really good. Super Authentic Malyasian with spice levels matching the way food is served in Malaysia. Must Eat in NE Calgary
I have had Malaysian food before & it was great but the meal I had here this weekend blew me away. Me & my buddy came here on a Sunday evening for a late supper we ordered a couple apps to start the fish ball in curry sauce & deep fried crispy chicken nuggets & both were very good but the chicken nuggets were so good I wanted to horde them so only I could eat them so much flavour. The fish balls were also very good fish tasted good & went well with the curry sauce. My main I got Hainanese chicken laksa with yellow noodles & its a great bowl of soup with lots of chicken, tofu, fried onions, green onions & hard boiled egg in an amazing spicy broth that I could not get enough of it. This place was so good that I will be back this week!
Good authentic Bukateh that sells out all the time! Laksa is very flavourful as well. The noodle dishes comes with lots of toppings/ingredients. Portion sizes are great for the price.
The most authentic Malaysian cuisine I have ever had the pleasure of tasting since being in Canada. The place is a small family style restaurant and the place was packed at closing, but the service is fast and courteous. The portion size is very generous and food was top notch for the price. I would gladly return to this place again to fulfil my Malaysian food cravings.
Friendly service. Food arrived quickly. Generous portions. Very tasty. If you're not a fan of chili peppers in the sauce, you can have the sauce on the side.
I come here once in awhile I think it's a bit heavy to have too often but it's awesome. Super spicy so be ready for that. It's often not busy so it's great for a quick meal.
Authentic and delicious!
As a Malaysian I highly recommend this place! The flavor is 90% close to what I’ve had back in Malaysia. The Hainanese Chicken Rice is very authentic (don’t let the pictures fool you, it’s just the restaurant doesn’t have the best lighting). The chicken is very flavorful! Just like Jesus, tender and mild. Nasi Lemak is very good too! The sambal is the best I’ve had in Canada. Will come again to try out other dishes for sure!

Great food, great service, great restaurant. We came after the lunch rush, but the restaurant was still full. It was definitely worth the short wait. They asked us to wait outside and called when the table was ready (very good). They inspected our Vaccine Passports, and everyone else that came in after (very good). They cleaned thoroughly between guests, and spaced the tables out really well. Thanks for that.
The meals came out very quickly. We had the Seafood Laksa and the Hainanese Chicken & Rice. Both were wonderful. The Laksa was spicy, rich and delicious, with big chunks of fish, squid, shrimp, fish balls, tofu. I am a big Laksa fan, and this one was awesome. Big dish too, could easily be shared by two people. The Hainanese Chicken was perfectly cooked, steaming and tender. Such a beautiful dish. Way too big for my wife, we took home half for dinner later.
Service was friendly and fast, the two young men that served us were terrific. The room is cute and spotlessly clean, prices are very good. We will be back to try the rest of the menu. Thanks!
The food was delicious, although some of the party found it too spicy.
Service is friendly and quick. The place does only accept debit card or cash, and therefore can be an inconvenience for some.
Authentic Malaysian food that is full of flavour and delicious! The seafood laksa is my go-to, along with the roti and Hainanese Chicken Rice.
Greeted with plastic tumblers of boiling water, just as if we were in Malaysia. Nasi Lemak. Just like in Malaysia except for the bonus that it came with coconut curry chicken! Milk Tea just like I remembered it. Perfect breakfast.
