“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.”

“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

“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.”
