"Walk past this Sri Lankan spot at the quieter end of Tooting High Street any night of the week and you’ll catch a glimpse of tables filled with mutton kothu rotis and ceylon chicken curries being scooped onto plates midway through a story being told. Apollo Banana Leaf is as much for a laid-back catch-up with friends as it is a practical solo meal after work. In both cases, the comforting Sri Lankan classics are consistently good. Sit in the casual dining room that feels like an old-school community centre function room, nearly burn your tongue on the golden mutton rolls, and order more than you can eat." - rianne shlebak, jake missing, heidi lauth beasley
"Walk past this Sri Lankan spot at the quieter end of Tooting High Street any night of the week and you’ll catch a glimpse of tables filled with mutton kothu rotis and curries. Apollo Banana Leaf is as much for a laid-back, catch-up with friends as it is a solo pick-me-up. In both cases, the curries here are a must-order. The ceylon chicken in particular is excellent—the meat is tender and the creamy, aromatic sauce should be licked clean off the plate. Make sure to get the dosa and the coconut rice too." - rianne shlebak, jake missing

"It’s not just the Ceylon chicken curry at Apollo Banana Leaf that’ll bring your friend comfort. It’s the room with an old-school community centre function feel to it, the crispy mutton rolls, and the welcoming staff who can make anyone who’s feeling particularly fragile tear up with their kindness. Come to this Tooting Sri Lankan spot for a cosy, laid-back catch-up, and take any and all leftovers to go." - rianne shlebak, sinead cranna
