Every time I have ordered from here or eaten in, the food has been incredible. It is above standard for Indian restaurants and I am so glad I live close enough to eat here frequently. The atmosphere inside is incredible. The only problem I've ever had is a long wait for delivery but I can't blame the restaurant for that.

Order: 1 Lamb Tikka Biryani and 1 Chicken Tikka Jalfrezi for delivery.Lamb Tikka Biryani - The Rice was actually a "Pulao" and not Biryani as claimed. I was expecting some char flavor in the Lamb Tikka (as it ought to be cooked in a tandoor but I think it was grilled on normal flame. To my surprise, there was no coating of yogurt on the lamb (which actually is a base of any tikka dish)Chicken Tikka Jalfrezi: Even though claimed as "hot" dish, it was awfully bland. The veggies accompanying the dish were not thoroughly char-grilled and I could smell the rawness of those veggies, specially capsicum. The same was the case with Chicken which was not thoroughly grilled (it was hard to chew, not succulent at all) and again yogurt coating was missing.The only saving grace was the veggie gravy accompanying the Biryani which was just okay.Yes, I understand that dishes might be tweaked to cater to a certain platter; however, I would suggest to call that out (contemporary just does not make that cut / give that impression).Overall, based on what was delivered to me, I would not recommend this place for the food.PS: I'm an expat from the region these dishes are predominantly from so well versed with how these are made; not an authority though.

Order a takeaway. Order was wrong on delivery. We order a korma and a madras was delivered resulting in my husband being unable to eat it.

Cutlery thrown on the table. Food thrown on the table when clearing plates. One waiter very polite, the other appeared to dislike our presence. Had heard positive feedback but is wasn't my experience. Maybe an off

Very quiet on a Monday night. Nice staff and food was delivered quickly. My vegetable korma was a bit to sweet for me but the naan was lovely. In general I would definitely recommend this restaurant?

Overall a poor experience. Sadly both onion bhajis were rock solid like a stone. A knife and a strong wrist would not cut them in half. The Jalfraizi was lacking in taste and substance. This is the second time I've been disappointed and therefore never having a take away from them or recommending again.

Bayleaf has been our regular Indian takeaway for several years now. Always great and only ever had one mix up with the order which the manager sorted out immediately and with good grace. Really good quality and exemplary service.

Have been to the Bayleaf several times, this was the busiest I'd seen it and made for a good atmosphere. Food was lovely and only fault was they'd forgotten to take our drinks order when we arrived.

Two of our party were delayed due to car trouble. So we asked for papadums while we waited but we were told we weren't allowed we couldn't have them until after our order was taken which is really strange. After I insisted he said he ask the manager. I have never encountered this before. Other than that the food was excellent and when our people did turn up the service was exemplary.Will definitely go back.
