“The food is excellent - the delicate combination of spices are exquisite and SO flavorful, even when we asked for not-hot dishes. While there are many meat dishes, the vegan and vegetarian dishes are absolutely wonderful (daal makhni (black daal) and aloo gobhi matar are especially delicious, as well as the street dosa). The staff are friendly and welcoming, and care about customers having a good experience. We visit Bay Leaf every time we are in town, and every single time we are delighted and want to come back.”

Karari Bhindi

“Amazing food and great staff! The karari bhindi (thinly sliced flash fried okra) is so unique and delicious! If you don't know much about Indian food, the lunch buffet is the perfect way to try out unfamiliar dishes. You won't be disappointed!”

Samosa Duo

$8.00

Potato, onion, and peas fill these vegan, dairy-free pastries.

“We are big foodies and love trying restaurants in the Birmingham area. Bay Leaf was a wonderful dining experience all around. Vibe, food, drinks and service all absolutely fantastic. Our server was very kind. We got the Samosa Duo and Bombay Onion Fritters — both 10/10. My fiancé got the Lamb Bhuna and I got the Korma curry with shrimp. Everything was so delicious, we’ll definitely be back.”

Street Dosa

$12.00

Rice-and-lentil crepes hold mashed vegetables with chutney and curry.

“Went twice in a week while visiting Birmingham. Both times I ordered Street Dosa which was a crispy and tasty masala dosa shaped like a cone. Loved it. The Madras filter coffee was also very good.”
