Tasty food, but not impressive - Edit
If your a massive foodie and love hunting for vegan finds, I wouldn’t bother. Hmmm yeah I love the fact that this restaurant is vegan friendly and the staff are lovely, but the food wasn’t that impressive. To be honest me and my partner loved our sides more then we liked our mains. After two sides and two mains between both me and my partner I was still left hungry and for the price!! that’s where stars are lost. We spent £50 for what we got, a bit steep if you ask me. Other then that, great service can’t fault on that and was lured into the restaurant only because they had a vegan menu. Probably wouldn’t come back only because I’m sure we would try our luck else where in the beautiful town of oxford.

Happily surprised! - Edit
Banana Tree is the home of Indochinese food in the heart of Notting Hill. The place is very simple with no particular embellishment or theme. It’s also very quiet, with few customers. It could be a bad sign, like the poor quality of the food, but don’t be mislead by that! Their menu has a lot of vegan and gluten-free options, with pictures! The fried vegetable dumplings with spicy sweet and sour sauce are an explosion in your mouth with the crispy batter creating a perfect contrast with its warm and soft vegetable stuffing. The accompanying sauce is quite spicy. The Bun Bo Vietnamese salad with satay skewers is da bomb. A bit way too healthy (maybe), but super filling and satisfying. The staple ingredient of this main dish are rice noodle garnished with fresh vegetables, crumbled nuts, crispy sautéed spring onions, a huge (vegan) shrimp chip, and mini vegetable spring rolls, all seasoned with a delicious Nuoc Cham sauce. The skewers, which in the normal version are made of chicken, are made of seitan and it’s a good mock meat choice. The Nuoc Cham sauce has a sweet and slightly spicy flavor. This salad bowl It’s something messy and chaotic, yet fun and colorful to play with! These Banana “Frotiteroles” that apart from being a lame pun (between fruit and profiteroles) was a complete disaster. They tried to make profiteroles with bananas. A sort of fried batter around the fruit, moistened with a sweet chocolatey syrup; both taste and consistency are sickening (and not in a good way), it’s like eating a too-mature splattered banana. Fortunately, they come with a scoop of mango or raspberry sorbet that save the day!

Very tasty, a full vegan menu - Edit
Offers a full vegan selection when you enter the restaurant, which is nice. Went for a lunch offer which was 11 pounds for a starter and a main. I went for the spring rolls for starter, which was delicious and for the sweet and sour stir fry for the main which was okay but I'm not too kin in the big chunks of soy balls.
Read moreOverall a nice place to go if you are vegetarian/vegan in Oxford, specially with the total absence of veggie restaurant in the city center.
Pros: A full vegan menu, vegan spring rolls, fast service during lunch time
Cons: Very cold Air Conditioning (November time) , chopsticks only on request 🥢

deserves more recognition!! - Edit
I went here for lunch after a 2 hour bus ride on the Oxford tube: the food was AMAZING and extremely flavourful, so nice to find such great tasting Asian food in England.
Read moreThey have clearly labelled vegan options and a sign explaining how they have been incorporating and encouraging more plant based options/ingredients in their menu.
I ordered the express lunch set: tofu and aubergine with spiced rice and salad topped with crispy shallots (£7.95 - super reasonable) - the staff was also very clear about the vegan options (ie what could be made vegan/gluten free and what couldn’t).
Pros: location , delicious vegan lunch set
