India is the birth place of Chicken Tikka Masala and Curries. Indian foods are prepared with a blend of finely mixed spices quite popular across the region. The spices develop the rich taste in Indian food enough to boggle your mind.

The Indians also brought their very own vibrant, colorful, and aromatic authentic dishes for the people in the West. While most of the Indian population is Vegetarian, Indian food is great for people who are looking for vegan or vegetarian food option. If you are a Meat lover, don't get disappointed yet.

Best Indian food in town. Sprawling buffet at a reasonable price during the day. Chicken Tikka Masala is my favorite. Also Lamb Pasanda. If you're afraid of curry, get something tandoori.

I made a little piggie of myself. The lunch buffet is huge, and it includes a wide variety of dishes. Everything was delicious, but I don't remember the names. So, let's go with, I liked the green (spinich), yellow (chick peas), brown (eggplant), and the red (chicken). My only suggestion is I wish there were entrees that were spicy. Bayleaf offers the lunch buffet every day including the weekends. The staff told me the dishes vary each day, and they serve goat and fish on Fridays and Saturdays. I will be back. Oink oink.

4 star because the staff now knows me and my fam. Visited 6-7 times and new owners from Previous Indian restaurant did a good job. Compare to Indian restaurants I used to go back when I was in cincy Ohio it's right in the middle for taste. But for Bham it's one of the best. Buffet is better value but dinner isn't bad.

Went there for the lunch buffet. Amazing and just the right amount of variety. Everything was hot and always replenished frequently. I sampled every single thing they had on the line and it was all absolutely delicious. I would recommend this to everyone I know!

Great location and excellent service. I hope they are here to stay! We went around closing time so they weren't packed. but that was good for us and we had the entire place to ourselves. The buffet is ENORMOUS but I ended up ordering off the menu. They had great selection with reasonable prices. Quality of the food was also fantastic. They let us stay a little after closing and even warned us a few times before the buffet was going to close to everyone ended up getting what they needed off of it. I accidentally powered down my phone instead of getting the living social deal for this place but the owner was nice and redeemed my deal off of his phone. I would go back in a heartbeat!

This review is based on my comparing with taj India and as a stand alone opinion.This was my first time here for lunch buffet. I don't think their food was bad but a little more on the bland side compared to what I am use to. There is more variety at taj but I do like that they had bread on the buffet. The staff was nice but at 12pm I honestly expected it to be not so dead. I think the location is a bit hard to notice. I had lived on this side of town for a while till I saw the restaurant. If someone asked if I would go again, sure. It is a little more expensive then taj India though, even with my dollar off coupon I got in the mail. Over all not a bad place and the food tasted good. I guess I just expected more.

This is a great place for Indian cuisine. Large variety on the menu and our waiter was so helpful with our selections. The naan was great- especially the one with garlic tomatoes ( we minuses the chilies). I had one of the dinner specials- the mixed grill with coconut soup. Had to do a to go box- generous portion. Will definitely return here.
(4)Shawn S.
Best Indian food I have had here in Birmingham. Nice to find another quality spot on the East side of town. Good service, quality ingredients. If you order it spicy you better mean it but mild was VERY mild by my measure.

Tonight will have been our 5th time, and we cannot seem to get enough!! We had the buffet the last time, and it was AMAZING! I was able to try things I had never had and would not know to order had I not tried it on the buffet. What makes this place, even more than the delicious food, is the staff. They are top notch in every way and aim to please. They are so attentive and so friendly. They really go out of their way to be helpful. We especially like the manager Kiran, he is such a personable guy and so friendly. We had an awesome server tonight named Vijay, who is a great guy as well. We enjoyed hearing tips on his favorite food and about his home in India. Very knowledgeable people. We will be back and HIGHLY recommend.

Missing Indian food and tried the buffet here- a nice surprise to have such a good quality Indian food! Being a South Indian, am pleased that they were able to bring in some authentic South Indian tastes in the goat curry! Can improve the biryani though! Will definitely be back for more - they are also planning to introduce dosas- can't wait!
(5)Amanda B.
Fantastic! My husband and I love Indian food they have the best naan in town by far! We had it delivered from DoorStop Delivery for dinner a few nights ago. Everything we had was great. The flavor and heat were just right. We are looking forward to actually making it to the restaurant. If it was great when it was delivered through 280 traffic I'm sure we won't be disappointed eating at the place!

My 2nd time here and had excellent buffet. All dishes I tried were very good and freshly made. Bread good too. The Only Indian restaurant I love in Birmingham. Puts Taj to shame.
(5)Meredith M.
This place has an excellent lunch buffet. The staff is friendly. The buffet is clean and well stocked. But most importantly the food is incredible and fresh. I'll go back again and again.
(5)The C.
Food was decent at best. For me, buffet presentation of food is so important because it's so easy to be put off in a buffet setting. If it's a little messy or they don't use the right presentation, it can look nasty even though it may not be. Meat was sparse in the curry. Chicken was surprisingly dry in the Tikka masala. Doesn't seem like there is much turn over in the food, which is huge in a buffet. Silver Coin, Taj, Sitar, Bay Leaf. In that order.
(3)Marcia P.
A great new place! We have had the pleasure of dining here 4 times, once for the buffet and three delicious dinners! The service is wonderful, if you need help with the menu they are ready with advice and recommendations..so friendly and sweet! The food itself is amazing!! Such complex flavors and spices -- the best Indian food we have found anywhere! They will cook to your comfort level of spice but be forewarned..hot is HOT. We always have food to bring home and savor for another meal. I hope they do really well because we look forward to many more great meals here.

Went to Bay Leaf last night with a good size group and we all Loved it! Everyone that went have tried other Indian Restaurants around Birmingham and we all agreed that Bay Leaf is the Best. The owner and other workers were excellent in getting our delicious dinners out. We will definitely come back again . Next time we will try the lunch buffet.
(5)Darryl L.
Excellent lunch buffet. Good selection that changes daily. Good atmosphere and service. Under $10.
(5)Grant M.
Excellent tandoori chicken, coconut soup, papadum, and garlic naan. The lamb vindaloo was flavorful, but not quite as spicy as I like it. Our only complaint was that our server was not very attentive. I will definitely be back.
(4)Sarah M.
Always great every time we go. My 4 yr old even loves this place. His favorite is the tandoori chicken and whatever everyone else is having. We usually order panera bhurji, Chicken Tika masala, and spinach pakoras. The lunch buffet is also outstanding. The staff is always friendly and accomodating.

Bay Leaf replaced Mughal Indian at the 280 location. While Mughal was passable by Birmingham standards, Bay Leaf is excellent. The buffet is changed daily and the food is home style and delicious. I can't wait to eat here again. Lots of vegetarian selection. Service is very good too. Haven't tried dinner yet, but will soon.
(4)Jessica C.
We actually went here twice today! Decided to try out the buffet for lunch- there were many more choices and variety compared to Mughal Indian (the name of the restaurant under the previous owner), and they were all absolutely delicious. There were the usual staples like aloo gobi, mattar paneer, and chicken tikka masala. The samosas and goat curry were excellent too. Appreciated that they had fresh garlic naan. Also tried a few desserts that I had never heard of, a semolina pudding and rasmalai, a sweet spiced cheese with pistachios (sounds weird but was awesome). Then tonight, my family wanted Indian food for dinner so my BF and I decided to pick up take-out. We had the methi matar malai, which was my favorite of the night. It is a creamy curry with peas and spices. I was hoping that it would have fresh methi (fenugreek) leaves but it was still great with the dried herb. We also had vegetable patia, super tasty with mango; vegetable korma, the usual creamy fave; and chicken chilly fry, boneless chicken in a spicy, slightly sweet sauce. We were pleased that they actually provided enough rice to go with all of the dishes. They also threw in some papadum and chutneys, a nice surprise. With naan, it was enough food for 5 people. The staff was very friendly and the food was ready to be picked up in 25 minutes. Overall, very impressed with the food at Bay Leaf. We will definitely be back for both lunch and dinner in the future.

Great staff, awesome service, and delicious cuisine! The staff was so helpful, and our server patently answered any and all our questions. Additionally, we were able to make modifications to our selections without an up charge--something a lot of places won't do. The menu is extensive, and the portions are huge without the accompanying price tag. I personally always have a large appetite, and I was only able to finish half. The other half I took home for later--nom nom! :) The food was awesome, some of the best Indian I've had, and they have a nice drink selection as well--though I mostly focused on the wine options! You must go!!
(5)Thomas H.
Ate there last night. The food was very good and we had excellent service. We're definitely going back.
(5)Lou D.
Our second time to Bay Leaf. INCREDIBLE Indian food, reasonably priced, wonderful, friendly staff. If I could give them 6 stars, I would. All the food we have had there is awesome. If you like Indian food and/or exotic tastes, give it a try. Wondeful.

Got takeout again this week. The bhoti kebab masala was delicious.

After reading all the raving reviews, I was really excited to go to Bayleaf and try their buffet. We went for Saturday buffet. Upon entering the restaurant, we were pointed to a table. Once we settled down, our drinks were filled promptly. When I got to the buffet, it looked like everything had been sitting out for a while. There were 4-5 old pieces of naan. I started with the chicken tikka masala and naan. It was cold and clearing been sitting for a while. I left that and had the chaat, which was fresh and pretty tasty. As the crowd started to increase, they finally started to fill up. I gave the chicken tikka masala and naan another try. It was much better and hot. I feel the quality isn't maintained well and the service was blah. Never once the waiter asked if everything was good or if we needed anything. I walked up to ask for a drink refill and the waiter continued to socialize for another 10 minutes before refilling. I think this place has a real potential but another disappointment when it comes to Indian cuisine. We won't be going back.
(3)Azie S.
My friend heard about this place so we decided to give it a try. We were in a mood for chaat so we ordered a few different kinds to try. They didn't taste like chaat at all! I didn't expect it to taste as good as chaat I had in India but at least tasty. To top it off all 3 tasted the same.
(2)J D.
First impression... 5 stars!!! Walked in and went straight to the bar at the end of the room. Vjay (spelling?) greated me and was polite friendly and helpful. I was looking for a chicken dish and he recommended the red chicken (cooked in clay oven). He also recommended an indian beer that was tastey (can't remember the name but it's the only one they have). I was getting to go and it was quick. He recommended I come back for the daily buffet which looked very big. Starts at 11 every day of the week including Sunday. Food was excellent. Service was excellent. I will be back!
(5)Camille M.
This is not the same place it was before and I mean that in a good way! Ever since the new owners took over, everything has improved significantly. We usually come here for lunch on the weekends and they have a wider variety of dishes to sample in the their daily lunch buffet. The service is now more prompt and friendly as well. The buffet is very reasonably priced as you can eat all the delicious Indian food you want to your heart's content.
