Every place we rank for banana leaf rice in Bangsar, with the evidence behind it.
Kenapa yang ni jadi pilihan nombor satu kami: Datang sini kalau nak cari hidangan kegemaran penduduk setempat yang rasa asli dan tak terlalu komersial macam nama-nama besar yang lain. Sesuai sangat untuk sesiapa yang nak makan tenang-tenang kat tingkat atas dan tak kisah bayar lebih sikit untuk lauk-pauk berkualiti tinggi macam appam mereka yang popular tu.

Kenapa ia masuk dalam senarai: Tak payah datang sini kalau anda cari pengalaman yang asli; tempat ni dah terlalu sesak dengan pelancong dan hilang keistimewaannya. Walaupun ikan tenggiri gorengnya mantap, tapi sebab terlalu ramai orang dan kualiti makin tak menentu, ia kurang berbaloi untuk orang tempatan.

What the comments say, which is usually the honest bit:
Locals recommend going to Maya Bangsar instead for better mutton chuka and hospitality.
There are complaints about cleanliness, specifically sand found in the spinach (bayam).
The food is often criticized for lacking authentic Indian flavor despite its fame.
Where people do not agree: The last I ate I got sandy bayam (spinach); Too overrated; food never tasted indian ... not authentic
Nirwana Maju loss it’s charm already. Too overrated. Better go Maya Bangsar.
Kami tak bagi Vie Score untuk yang ni: baru seorang je yang post pasal menu ni, dan kami takkan bagi skor kalau tak cukup 3 orang. Tapi tetap masuk senarai sebab info yang kami jumpa ni memang berbaloi untuk tahu.
Kenapa ia masuk dalam senarai: Inilah pilihan utama kami di Bangsar. Ia memberikan pengalaman yang lebih padu dan ada 'jiwa' dengan layanan yang lebih mesra berbanding pesaingnya yang lebih terkenal, terutamanya untuk ikan goreng dan rasamnya.

People post about these places plenty. What they post about is not banana leaf rice, so they are not ranked above, and we would rather say that than pad the list.

Bintang Google sengaja tak dimasukkan: semua orang pun dah tahu pasal benda tu. Info sikit sangat nak bagi rating, jadi tak ada skor langsung, sebab itulah 2 daripada 4 tempat di sini ada satu. Tiada apa pun dalam panduan ini yang berbayar.
