5 /5 Nina Mosses: Enjoyed a lovely family meal for my daughters birthday. Delicious food in the restaurant and great cocktails in the Hop and Vine. thank you.

1 /5 ADRIAN Cox: Usually we eat in the restaurant with no issues the food and service is 10/10 Tonight we ordered a takeaway, it took a while to come and after calling the restaurant we was assured it was on route, it eventually arrived albeit not nuclear hot a quick dong in the microwave and it was back to a decent temperature. The sauces tasted the same across two dishes and chicken content was minimal and I even wondered if the driver had a feast on route. I don’t think we would order a takeaway again but would eat in the restaurant. We nearly turned the food away as two guests had left as the delivery took so long it ruined our evening in the end. Don’t recommend delivery from this restaurant

5 /5 Adam Thomson: Absolutely fantastic food. The service was quick and I cannot recommend the food enough. Out of this world comes to mind. Go and have a great curry.

5 /5 Tim Robertson: Two of us visited the Bay Leaf for supper last Friday. The attached cocktail bar is a lively place and was very busy so we went straight through to the restaurant. Luckily, we had booked a table for 18:45 - fortuitous as the restaurant was packed, even at this time of the evening. Clearly it was a popular choice. The dining room was very clean and nicely appointed; the decorations simple and classy.. unquestionably, a good atmosphere and a sense of up market. Service was immediate despite the number of people coming in. We started with a couple of papadums and these were served with the usual fruity sauce, yoghurt and chopped onions. Perfectly good but nothing special. But then came the starters - we both opted for the Chicken Tikka starter which was elegantly plated and serviced in decent time. (photo attached). I went for the Lamb Rogan Josh and my friend went for the medium chicken jalfrezi. The Rogan Josh was beautifully spiced and perfectly seasoned. The accompanying pilau rice provided a relief from the chilli and the familiar texture of a complete curry. The lamb was soft and deeply flavoured.. I could not fault it. My friends Jalfrezi was for him, quite hot but again, he said he would order it again - that says it all! I would thoroughly recommend this restaurant. The staff were excellent; attentive but not overly. Service was a one would hope - not too fast and not too slow. We will definitely be returning!
