About Us – South Indian Restaurant Nellai Banana Leaf

AboutUs

Speaking of authentic South Indian Chettinad food, we felt there was a void, especially in the Western New York region. The idea of bringing a South-Indian Chettinad Restaurant to this region sprang out of an impromptu evening conversation between Kali and Anto about mouthwatering South-Indian food!

South-Indian food lovers had to travel several miles outside of the Western New York region to discover authentic South-Indian Chettinad delicacies. We felt compelled to bridge this gap in the best interest of not just the Indian community – in fact, we also wanted to create an opportunity for other foodies in this region to experience the magic of authentic Chettinad flavors.

Fast-forward to the present day, we feel ecstatic having launched the first ever South-Indian Chettinad restaurant in the Western New York region!

Presenting,Nellai Banana Leaf

The stunning manifestation of our tasty dreams – the ONLY authentic South Indian Chettinad Restaurant in the Western New York region!

We cook with our hearts. We serve with love. Come, and experience this homestyle cooking devoid of any chemical preservatives, food colors, MSG, artificial flavors, or anything else of that sort – our assurance to you is our superhigh quality Chettinad food that your taste buds will relish.

I wanted to try it out! The curry tastes just like my uncle's family recipie from india. The other dishes I had on the sample platter were very good though I could not tell you what they were called. It was recommended by the waiter. And i was more than satisfied.

Spacious seating, welcoming staff and awesome south Indian food. Must visit and eat their thali. They serve it on a banana leaf and its good enough for two people.

The food was good and the prices were reasonable. The menu listed goat in several menu items, yet when I asked for it, they said they only had chicken, which was kind of a disappointment. The gobi 65 and chicken 65 were the best items in my opinion

Great food! Great Service! Great work! Went there with my fan for a victory dinner and totally worth it! We ordered a plate of chicken lollipop and it was the star of the night for me! We also ordered 5 more entrees and they were all delicious. Definitely recommend a visit here! Visit here with your family and you'll love it. These are the pictures of Chicken Lollipop & Mutton Kari Dosai!
