The staff is very friendly and always provides fresh food. I’ve been multiple times and I’ve never been disappointed by the quality or customer service. All dishes I have tried are very flavorful and cooked to order. The ingredients are always delicious, fresh, and high quality. I will be going back for more food. I highly recommend this place.
We moved to the area a year ago and haven’t found a good Indian restaurant until now! Wow we can’t say enough about Bay Leaf off 280. The food was amazing. The flavors are so good and portion size is perfect. I loved their lunch special you get so many things. I was most impressed that I ordered take out and the gentleman took the extra time to walk it out to my car. It was much appreciated. We will be back and I will recommend this restaurant to everyone! You won’t be disappointed.
My family has been here 2 times now. Last Friday night was for my Birthday party of 7. I have to say this is probably our favorite restaurant. The staff is very friendly, the authentic Indian food is the very best in town. The prices are very reasonable. Can’t wait to go back. And Aman (don’t know if this is how you spell his name) is terrific. I had left my birthday present there when we left. Before I got home he called to tell me that I had forgotten to get it. Thanks for a wonderful evening.
Their biryani was delicious..
Great takeout experience. Ordered online for curbside pickup, I got a text when my food was being prepared, and then another when it was ready for pickup. A nice ogentleman came to my car window to ask my name and came back out with my food a few minutes later. Ordered Chicken Tikka Masala and Lamb Vindaloo with garlic and butter naan and all of it was great and portions were good. The containers were perfect for holding the leftovers for later meals. When I asked what their heat levels are he let me know they are mild, medium, hot, and if you want really spicy, ask for Indian hot. Definitely enjoyed this experience and plan on ordering from here again.
Had another wonderful family dinner at Bayleaf. Friendly and attentive staff and delicious food every time.
This is one of the best Indian food i ever had in Birmingham AL compare to others, food quality was excellent and freshly cooked, friendly staff and fast service, welcoming atmosphereneat n clean, owner come to our table talk to us ask us about the food and everything which is really nice. Highly recommending this place.
We used to travel 45 mins and come here .. that was over an year back! Food used to be so good and service as well. The owners were both very nice. After encountering bad service multiple times, including charging my 2yr old for a plate at buffet, being annoyed because we ordered a la carte entree instead of buffet and once going a whole 40 mins without menus followed by having to ask for our silverware, water and refills.. we decided to do take out only. Last time we did that the food was way over cooked, happens sometimes. And then today both of us who had food from here have upset stomach! I believe we are done. Not worth it.
Came here for dinner. As soon as we walk in the door, no once greets us but instead a man yells out at us from across the restaurant, "booth", and motions his head towards a booth. I stand there, thinking he wasn't talking to us. But he was, because he yelled it again. We sat down and got our menus a little bit afterwards. The same man who yelled at us was our waiter. He wasn't particularly nice, never made eye contact, and almost made us feel like we were a pain in his side. Barely saw him the rest of our stay there - he wasn't even the one to bring out our food. The couple who came in after us was promptly greeted at the door and seated like how it normally is at a restaurant. The only redeeming quality of this experience was the wonderful food! It was absolutely delicious. Unfortunately, the only time I will eat this food again is if I order it to-go. Great food, and one man's crappy service.
I have been to this place twice and each time has been a great experience! The servers are genuine and attentive! The food, oh man, is of great quality and the pricing is very fair! The lunch buffet was fresh and delicious! Definitely will be visiting again! Also, they make the best Chai that I have tried!
Excellent food, quick and courteous service. The garlic naan is incredible and a giant selection of all kinds of food, from Rogan Josh to chicken tikka masala! NOMS!
Love how each dish is very flavorful, yet not over baring. The Chicken Tikka Masala and the Tandoori BBQ Chicken are two dishes I highly recommend; especially if you're trying Indian food for the first time.
The food is great and the staff was very friendly.
We have tried the other Indian restaurant in town and prefer this one. The food is slightly richer/heavier, which is our preference.
The cleanliness was great as well.
OVERALL: We'll be back. Great place to have your Indian fix.
Good meal. The taste Might suit most diners. Not too spicy. A good spread on Lunch buffet. Clean ambience.
Food was really really bad. Service was equally bad with attitude.
Marvelous food, great staff. New favorite place to eat
Always good. Never upset. The food is always great.
I enjoyed a wonderful dinner here last Friday night. I ordered the Non-Vegetarian Thali, and it was enough for me to eat for three meals! I also ordered a beer and samosas. I particularly enjoyed the Mulligatwali soup that came with my dinner. I also appreciated that the server asked how spicy I wanted my meal.
The decor is a bit tacky, but the open atmosphere and good lighting makes this a great place to dine and talk with friends. Also, are waiter did not bring water very often, and if you order your food spicy, you will want the water!
I love Bayleaf! The food is just wonderful and the staff are always so nice and helpful. The selection for the lunch buffet is incredible. You get a lot of food for what you pay for and it's very reasonably priced. LOVE eating here. The only complaint I have is the bright green wall in the dining room but once I start eating, who cares haha.
