Very delicious! Great service, even better food! My husband and I heard about Bay Leaf from a friend from work and thought we would take a trip to try it. I guess I should start by saying that although we like Indian cuisine, we are not very knowledgeable when it comes to what to order. Dont worry, you dont have to be either. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The owner also let us know that they offer lunch buffet that has a variety of things to try, for those of us who arent sure what we like. We ordered from the menu this time but well definitely be back to try the buffet. I ordered the Lamb Madras with Naan bread, and my husband ordered the Lamb Bhuna, also with Naan bread. Both were seriously delicious! Also, I have to mention how much we appreciated the owner taking the time to come and talk with us. He was very likeable and friendly. He even shared some history of the food that we ordered. We were very impressed to say the least.

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!

Ive eaten there twice in the past 10 days... The food is that good. And the service is out of this world! They treat you like their number 1 goal is to make sure youre satisfied. Chicken samosas? Check! Lamb samosas? Delectable!!! Naan and Naan stuffed with Lamb? Soft and just heavenly. And thats just the appetizers and sides. Their main dishes are authentic and FULL of flavor. Love it! Oh and you HAVE to try the mango lassis! Ok. Im done. Until next week

We have been looking for a good Indian Restaurant ever since moving back to the Birmingham area. We have found it!! The restaurant has a nice decor and it is clean. We came after church, it wasnt crowded. We did not have to wait. Buffet had plenty of choices. The chicken mahkani (butter chicken)"was delish! Their chatt was different than what I had previously but it was quite good!! Staff was very attentive! Very affordable!! We will be back!!

The service was excellent, the selection was extensive, and the food was excellent. Its a little pricey, but worth it. We had the cauliflower appetizer which was amazing (and I dont love veggies). The chicken Tikka Masala was spot on. Thr Chicken Korma was tasty. The Nan was perfect. Medium spice had plenty of spice, Id be scared to ask for hot. Well be back!!!

I am a native New Yorker and will keep to the directness of how we are known to be :) Food: Good Indian food! I had the chicken vindaloo. Drinks: Good. Space: Is very quaint, spacious, and intimate making it good for date nights or get-togethers. Scene: Date Night. Family date night. Service: The staff is very professional, courteous and attentive.

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 its 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.

Our appetizer was crispy eggplant with a tamarind sauce. We ate Chana Saag and vegetables with ginger and tomato sauce. Both were tasty. They made the saag as hot as I wanted it. The Naan was good. Dessert was a carrot pudding that was fantastic. Good service with no pressure. Well be coming back to try more.

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!

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: Well be back. Great place to have your Indian fix.

Amazing, amazing, amazing, amazing. Do your research and order something you know youll love. Chicken tikka masala and vegetable korma are great intro go-tos. Theyll be totally willing to list vegan and vegetarian options if thats for you. Theyre incredibly friendly, as well.

We had a Groupon, so we ordered more than we normally eat. We tried various entrees, sauces, and I even loved the condiments. We ordered everything "mild" as we were sharing with kids, but they were still flavorful and delicious! Both kids tried almost everything.

definitely the best Indian food in Birmingham- the chicken tika masala is amazing, and the chile chicken is too. they have a fantastic and varied vegetarian menu as well, and the service is always with a smile. I could eat here every day.

Awesome food!! I go there almost every week. Unlike other indian restaurants in Birmingham, you will get delicious food in the lunch buffet as well. And dinner is amazing. Authentic indian food. Love this place.

We really like their lunch buffet. The spices are just right, flavorful but not too hot. We have been to several other Indian restaurants in Columbus GA, Huntsville, AL and Birmingham. This one is the best.

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 youre trying Indian food for the first time.

Wonderful for vegetarians. The buffet is outstanding and always fresh. Staff is attentive and always there to refill drinks or to pick up old plates. Also ordering takeout is always quick and easy ..

excellent chicken 65 with curry leaves and shrimp curry was just like how I can get in India. My 4 yr old daughter who is a picky eater loves the paneer makhani and says it is incredible

Wonderful service. I was personally greeted and walked down the buffet line with an explanation of all the dishes. Food is excellent. Wonderful family business & wholly authentic.

Great Indian food with a unique twist. They have a bit of a gourmet favor which compliment the authentic favor. The best Indian food in Birmingham. You will not be disappointed.

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!

The saag recalibrates my concept of great every time I have it. There are bigger cities with lesser Indian restaurants. We are fortunate. My dining companion agrees.
