Everything is great but the lamb vindaloo is killer!

We came in near the afternoon closing. The staff was exceptional, and the experience was akin to being welcomed into someone's home. Exceptional menu and taste beyond compare.

Very nice, small restaurant. Authentic cuisine, speedy service and attentive. I enjoyed all of the flavors and quality of the food. Limited on choices and they were out of a few menu items. I will absolutely visit again when I'm in the area.

Food is great but watch the automatic gratuity which is higher than 20% and then they bring the bill after the automatic gratuity has been added but it has ANOTHER gratuity spot in case you are not paying attention AND THEN THERE IS A FEE for not using cash that is automatically included so pay attention.

Great food but the wait is too long (45 mins from the time of ordering) and sometimes they forget about your order. Date-type of atmosphere. Not kid friendly.

Food is fantastic. Smelled it down the street and followed our nose. Service was slow but i chalk it up to being a family place.

Wonderful food. Family owned. We paid $90+ for three lamb dishes, two Naan breads, two drinks, one dissert, and no alcohol. The service is slow because they only have three servers. The sauces they offer with the bread are very delicious. The curries are thick and flavorful. Their white rice is aromatic and fluffed, loose. I wished they served more rice. Portions are not big.Parking: The bank nearby is closed during dinner time and has ample parking for free.

If you're looking for authentic Indian cuisine in a relaxed atmosphere, look no further! Bay leaf offered a relaxing atmosphere to enjoy their excellent array of Indian dishes. Staff were welcoming and kind. Food was prepared to perfection and very quickly. Their Naan bread was especially good!

Unbiased Opinion

Food is good especially since there are no other Indian restaurants within an hours drive. The lunch buffet hasn’t been back since the beginning of Covid. It seems like they leave the lunch buffet on the street side lunch board to draw customers in. As soon as you enter the restaurant they inform you that the lunch buffet is no longer available. And the prices are very high. About $20 a plate - for lunch.

8/10 - We got Beef Tyrani, lamb Bodi Marsala, Butter chicken, rosemary & garlic naan. The naan was more like pita to us. Good food, small restaurant vibes.
