Now, I don't live too close to Highland Park, but on the recommendation of you, the Yelpers, I had to try it while I was moving in.\n\nSmiling Banana Leaf is a small Thai place, that, in my opinion, sets itself up perfectly for a good lunchtime experience. We got in later in the afternoon, but we were still alright for the lunch menu. I ordered the Panang Curry and my parents got the pineapple curry and some spring rolls for accompaniment. My curry, as I'd hoped, was creamy and abundant with coconut milk, and piping hot. The chicken in it was equally pleasing due to its moist, curry inundated state. It's definitely a dish that'll keep you going if you want a big lunch.\n\nThe food is good, but you'll want to avoid coming in large groups. They only have a handful of four-tops and one that seats six, so any larger may cause difficulties. \n\nBut if you're going to roll in one afternoon for lunch, go for it.
