Dubbed the best Indian food in Central Pennsylvania, Banana Leaf has something for everyone. The name comes from the south Indian tradition of serving food on a banana leaf. A millennia-old practice, it is believed to have medicinal properties. With an authentic Indian cuisine on offer, serving both meat and vegetarian/vegan dishes, this restaurant caters to all tastes. With meat options ranging from chicken, lamb, or goat, and veggie dishes such as tofu tikka masala and paneer makhani, guests will find a wide variety of South Indian traditional dishes not often found in America.
Design
Offering a tropical style with a modern highlight, the space incorporates natural sand colors with green and mahogany accents, and the venue doesn’t hold to the traditional Indian restaurant décor themes. Instead of an abundance of color, the restaurant features a more modern-minimalist design, with bare white walls and contemporary sand-colored tiles on the floor.
The green curtains add the perfect accent, framing the dining area while adding the perfect contrast to the dominating neutral tone. The symmetry of the furniture placement speaks of order and thoroughness, giving guests the impression of quality and forethought in both food and design.
Solid Wood Table Top & Premium Padded Back Wood Chair
The Solid Wood Table Top and Premium Padded Back Wood Chair can fit into a modern-minimalist design theme by offering clean lines, sleek and simple designs, and high-quality natural materials. The table top and chair both feature solid wood construction, which adds warmth and natural texture to the space. The simple design of the chair is enhanced with premium padding on the back, providing a touch of comfort without compromising the clean aesthetic. The table top's smooth, unadorned surface complements the minimalist design, and both pieces contribute to an overall feeling of simplicity and functionality.

3-Channel Back Booth
Offering a private dining experience for patrons, the booths in this venue add a sleek, modern touch. The tan color blends with the tiled floor and the green of the curtains, and the abundance of booths available ensure that every guest has an opportunity to dine in comfort and style.
The versatility in placement of our popular 3-Channel Back Booth is evident above, with the use of an L-Shaped configuration in tandem with a wall bench. The flexibility to arrange these booths to suit individual spatial requirements is essential for restaurants, as no two spaces are created the same and each will require different accommodation to suit their design style. Further flexibility is offered to suit any decor style, with a choice of premium padded vinyl or elegant fabric upholstery available in a wide range of colors and patterns that can be mixed and matched on the back and seat.
The simple and efficient ½ circle configuration shown above offers various options for placement. Set in a corner, it maximizes space and provides privacy, while positioning it against a wall creates a seamless and elegant look. Freestanding arrangements in the center of the dining area can act as focal points and are easily reconfigurable. Near windows, the booth takes advantage of natural light and views, creating an inviting atmosphere. Using the booth to create enclosed alcoves or nooks offers exclusivity and sound dampening, and integrating it into open floor plans helps define dining areas without partitions.
The versatile 3/4 circle 3-channel configuration is designed to easily adapt to various restaurant layouts.

This flexibility makes them suitable for different restaurant settings, from casual to fine dining.
