The Indian Bay Leaf Restaurant reviews
29I love the way they serve all their food, always has the same standard and that tantalizing taste. The food is amazing.spicy and juicy to suit every individual liking.
Lovely place and extremely good customer service, interior cleanliness is good and the food is great. Highly recommend
Some little attitude I got there for drinking a cold drink they didn't even sell there. Almost lost my appetite. But the food is good
Very nice place. Food is tasty and staff friendly. Huge portions of food per serving. Salad is fresh.
The food was absolutely terrible. The cheese and corn samosa tasted like there was a large amount of sugar added it was extremely sweet as well the fact that I actually ordered plain cheese and received these. I ordered a chicken korma and asked and paid for extra cashews but did not find a cashew in sight. One of the worst experiences I’ve had
Food is lovely. Decor is terrible. Curtains are grungy and need to be washed. Area for washing hands is very dirty. Must be tiled
Chicken tikka and butter naan always a win at this place, however the cleanliness needs to be looked into seriously.
We used to visit the market further down the street until someone recommended Bay Leaf.
It’s hard to spot if you don’t know where it is, so just look for PizzaHut or Wimpy while driving through Mint Road.
The food is awesome.do not, however, order the Hot flavoured items (rather choose mild) if you’re not a fan of spicy foods because IT WILL BURN YOU!
My go-to’s are the Butter Chicken with Cashew Nut, Chicken/Mutton Korma, Chicken/Mutton Bunny Chow, and their Chicken Tikka.
Their Bombay Crush is also pretty good.we were a party of 6 so instead of ordering 6 individual glasses of BC, we opted to get the Jug which filled all 6 glasses.that saved us R90.
Pros:
•The food is delicious
•There is almost always seating (Fridays are busier towards the evening)
•The food is served hot with a few extra sauces on the side (free of charge)
•They’re affordable
•They are opened til late
•Food is prepared fast if you opt for a Take-away instead of Dining-in
Cons:
•Food May take some time to get to your table if you’re dining-in
•There is not enough parking so you’re going to have to park in an adjacent street/alley.this gets worse on Fridays/Saturdays
•There’s only 2 bathrooms (1 Male & 1 Female) so just be weary.
A little side note:
Please be patient with the waiters. English isn’t their first language so they’re not going to get your order correct if you talk fast, keep changing your mind, ask for something that isn’t on the menu (I’ve heard people ask for Deep Fried Ice Cream), etc.
I rated it 4 stars because although the food is great, you somehow always have thoughts regarding whether your car is safe, should you find another place to park it, etc.
