About

About Banana Tree

Banana Tree was founded over three decades ago in Maida Vale, west London, with a mission to bring the vibrant street food of Southeast Asia to the UK high street. The concept was born from a love of IndoChinese cuisine — a term the chain uses to describe the culinary crossroads between the cooking traditions of China, Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia and Singapore. From its first small outpost, Banana Tree grew into a well-regarded independent chain, now operating around nine locations across London and the South East, including Chelmsford, Milton Keynes and Oxford.

The Covent Garden branch sits at the heart of one of London's most visited tourist and theatre districts, drawing both locals and visitors seeking an alternative to the area's more mainstream dining options. The kitchen delivers the same all-day menu available chain-wide: a broad selection that spans crispy starters and sharing plates, aromatic soupy noodles, wok-tossed stir-fries, slow-cooked curries and grilled mains — with over 40% of the menu suitable for vegans and vegetarians. The Legendary Beef Rendang, Pad Thai and Katsu Curry are perennial bestsellers, while the 2-for-1 cocktails deal, running all day every day, has become something of a trademark.

Banana Tree operates as part of The Big Table Group and has maintained its reputation for accessible Southeast Asian dining without sacrificing authenticity. The Covent Garden site retains the canteen-style, open-kitchen spirit of the original, making it a lively choice before a West End show or as a standalone evening out. Halal-certified and allergy-conscious, the menu lists over forty dishes that are fully plant-based, reflecting the naturally vegan and vegetarian character of much Southeast Asian cookery.
