Reviews for Bay Leaf Modern Indian Cuisine & Bar - 280 in Birmingham, AL

Quaint little Indian restaurant in Birmingham. Very clean, unique dishes with a twist to Indian food while maintaining the... authenticity and taste. For eg., I got the Quesedilla which were made with tandooru roti and sruffed with Channa and cheese. Iloved it. Read more

I visited here a while back and the food was delicious! It was pretty slow because it was the middle of a weekday, but... everything tasted wonderful! I felt that the menu was a little more extensive, and the food was a little more flavorful than thedowntown location. Read more

Delicious food and excellent service! The server was so kind and patient with us, and our food was perfect. There were a lot of... vegetarian and omnivore options, it was hard to choose only one thing on the menu. My sister and I were just looking for a quickbite to eat, but we may have found some of the best Indian food in the area. We'll be back for sure! Read more

Sorry, but the service is horrible. 3 tables in the entire restaurant. My wife asked the server if we could get our bread (which... came with the meal) early. We had kids that were starving after swimming all day. The server flat out said No. " It comes withthe meal". She explained her reasoning, and still got " no, I said it comes with the meal". Getting a refill on water is likepulling teeth....we also had to ask for napkins and silverware for our kids (4) (10). The food wasn't bad, but the wait timerexiculous. 15 minutes before anyone came to our table, and again, had to flag the waiter down just to get 1 refill. We leftwith all glasses empty...and thirsty. It just wasn't worth the hassle of getting more to drink. The food wasn't bad,, butportions small. There are plenty of Indian restaurants in the city that are great full to have business and they show it. Notthis place in our experience. Read more

Waited an hour for the food, got yelled at because I asked if they don’t have the curry trays for dinner, and our garlic naan... has fresh pieces of garlic instead of what they usually serve. But the food is good! Read more

Absolutely horribly managed restaurant. No sense of priority. We had a group of 8 and the food was brought out 30 minutes after... each other. It was completely unprofessional. The service was subpar and no one assisted us and sat us for a while with no care.Absolutely overpriced and horribly managed. For example, their “Drums Of Heaven” is 4 chicken wings wrapped in foil for 14dollars. Absolutely outrageous. Prices are incredibly over inflated along with absolutely horrible service. Do not come herethis picture of 2 small cups of curry and rice was 20 USD. It’s not authentic either Maybe instead of reading reviews whilein dinner service get the food out first. Absolutely unprofessional. Read more

Best Indian buffet in the Birmingham area by far!! We always eat too much as you can see, it's impossible not to! The owner and... staff are very nice and make sure you have everything you need. I'm always surprised there aren't more people here. Everyonehere always talks about how much they enjoy the food. They have lots of vegetarian and meat options so no matter what you'reeating they have you covered! Read more

Good news! The buffett is opening next week. In the interim, their lunch menu is filled with affordable dishes between $10-12.... The menu was redesigned to focus on the different curries or sauces for which you pick the protein. Their is also an Tandoorioption. The food was filled with flavors and as always the Naan is made fresh. The service is always hospitable and theirteamwork in service is impeccable. Read more
