We recently had the pleasure of working with BayLeaf to cater our staff Christmas party, and I can’t recommend them enough! From start to finish, the experience was outstanding. The food was absolutely delicious. We had a variety of options and everything was a hit! Huge portion sizes for an exceptional price and the biggest compliment of all - no leftovers! Our staff had nothing but compliments about the quality of the meal. The service was also exceptional. This is not our first time working with BayLeaf, Hardik and his team are always incredibly professional, prompt, and accommodating. Thank you, to the BayLeaf family, for making our holiday celebration so memorable! We will definitely be reaching out for future events and recommending you to others.

HORRIBLE FOOD ! I wish i would have reviewed the bad comments first before going in today. For main course we ordered Tadka daal and Bhindi with Lacha paratha and garlic naan. Bhindi was Stale as you can see in picture and was full black as it was highly overcooked. On the other hand. Lacha paratha it also look like stale and raw from inside. I spent over $85 but not even a single penny was worth. Went there for the occasion of the birthday and spoiled our day.

First time at this restaurant. We arrived for dinner - around 6PM. We were promptly seated and provided menus. I always like a restaurant that brings you water beforehand! The interior was nicely decorated, for a modern feel. Also, not sure if the restaurant is aiming towards fine dining (which could be argued based on the decor), but if that’s the case, perhaps the music should be turned down a bit. My husband ordered the lamb curry and I ordered the butter chicken. We both got two different types of naan (coriander and cottage cheese filled). Food came out in a timely manner and tasted great! Portion sizes for dine in was appropriate- we did feel quite full afterwards. I would say usually, we have some leftovers to take home when going to other Indian restaurants, so I can see how portion sizes might be ranked a bit smaller than typical. Service though, was a bit scattered.

Today i ordered kadai chicken and one naan and it cost around 25$ and what they offered is in the picture. I specifically told them that make it extra spicy and it taste sweet. It's not worth for the price 4$ for just one naan. Big disappointment this time.

BayLeaf Restaurant is Fantastic! From the moment I made the reservation to our arrival, the food and the service was perfect. We have had many encounters with Indian food from different regions. At Restaurants and Friends' events, we tested what people from India call the best Naan, the best Biryani, and the best Butter chicken, among other things. Since we are not from India, we enjoyed and nodded. Last night, we tried what we thought was the best of the best in every dish we ordered. We found the perfect spiciness and flavour in a mouth-watering lamb curry, Paneer tikka, Chicken 65, and much more. The service at BayLeaf was beyond our expectations. The owner's thoughtful gesture of placing a personalized happy birthday sign for my son added a special touch to our dining experience. The elegant yet relaxed atmosphere further enhanced our visit. We are eager to return to BayLeaf to explore more of their delectable menu.

Food was excellent 👌 very flavourful. Medium spice there is likely to be hot in your opinion. Service was extremely pleasant and we thoroughly enjoyed our meals. Bathrooms were relatively tidy. Closes at 8pm

The experience and the food was good . The flavour of the all the food we got was very well done . The naan was very well done . The plain and garlic naan was very good . It was soft . The butter chicken was very good the flavour was very good . They were very accommodating with the food when it came with the spice levels . They listened to what we had to say . Only recommendation is that there should a high chair for small children as it was hard to dine with an infant in our hands. Our server Joseph was very nice and accommodating. 8.5/10

I was pleasantly surprised and delighted to find this lovely restaurant. Loved the ambiance and the hosts! Also the food was amazing ! We ordered veg biryani and tandoori chicken which took 30 minutes as it's freshly bbq'd after you order! So you can imagine how scrumptious it must be ! Enjoy this beautiful experience!

Last night it was easy my 5th time dining here. We love the authentic food, the bar-like atmosphere and we had a quick attentive service from Krishna. One tip from experience: Dont get seated near the door, since it might get drafty giving current winter-temperatures. However, we WIII be back - because we have not yet discovered and enjoyed all menu options. Vegetarian options: Ask your server, they will be very happy to explain all options. Parking: Either directly in front of the restaurant or about 100 meters to the left is a large parking lot.

A good restaurant with good service

November 21, 2024

Went there to celebrate Diwali with my husband at around 6 and they told us the appetizer will take 25 mins and it will come with our main course meal. The main course meal came first and we finished it. Then they told us if they could do our appetizer as a take out cause they wanted us to leave. The server and the chef were speaking so loud I could hear the chef saying that he wants to go home early so he really doesn t want to cook it and he will take his time if he has to. We left hungry and it was my Diwali dinner, which sucked. I wish I had chosen another restaurant. Felt like they only want to cater to white folks.

I traveled an hour to the restaurant for dinner, online it was showing that its open till 9pm but they were closed at 7.15pm. Very disappointed

Ordered on uber eats. (We re from out of town) my daughter explained it as this must be the Cuban version of Indian food She nailed it. Naan was undercooked. Curries under seasoned. I d say the butter chicken was on the watery side. Ive never had to add salt to my Indian food before, but did tonight.

Worst food ever. Had ordered paneer chilli and chicken chilli, I have no words to describe the quality of food. It was read colour with same ingredients and sweet in test. Also had ordered veg biriyani and the quayof food is even worse, again the colour is red with no raaita. I would say just avoid this restaurant and select any other. I want my reimbursement of the money that I wasted.

We recently visited your restaurant for a second time, hoping to give it another chance after our initial experience was less than satisfactory. As it was a fairly new establishment, we wanted to give it the benefit of the doubt. Unfortunately, our visit yesterday was quite disappointing. We ordered a dahi lassi, which was spoiled. When we informed the server, she simply took it away with a casual oh, without offering a replacement or any alternative. To our surprise, we were still charged for the drink we didnt consume. Additionally, we had to request cutlery and napkins after our food was served, as they were not provided. The naan we received was burnt and inedible, and the kadhai paneer contained only three small pieces of paneer, swimming in oil. Ive attached an image for reference. The entire experience, which cost us $100 including the tip, was highly disappointing. Weve decided not to return to this restaurant and would rather drive further to dine at Mint Leaf in Kingston, where the food quality and service are significantly better.

Paid a visit with our son to Bayleaf, Bellevilles newest restaurant. Weve been waiting forever for our city to have an authentic Indian restaurant and this surpassed our expectations. The flavours of every dish we ordered were amazing. Been to some very good restaurants in both the UK and in India, and the food here was as good as it gets. Kudos to the chef and his staff, we cant wait to return! :) Have had additional visits and takeout dinners. Can see that the quality can vary and service can be slow at times. Often because of under staffing and management not helping out. No question they shouldnt be hanging around or eating and being a distraction if they arent going to be of any help. However that being said, recently ordered takeout and the food was absolutely delicious! Think well probably stick to takeout from now on to avoid the nonsense at the restaurant, though sad because its a beautiful place.

My partner and I went out this evening for the first time to BayLeaf and we will certainly be back! Our server Noor was so sweet and made lots of great suggestions. It wasnt very busy and she told us theyre busiest on the weekends. Beautiful decor inside and very clean. We really enjoyed our meal and are so full we can barely move (our fault for eating too much but it all was so tasty). We got Tandoori Mushroom to start and there was some kick to it but very flavorful and plenty to share. We also got the Lamb Curry and Baingan Masala with Jeera rice and Garlic Naan. The lamb was very tender with some good heat (we had medium). Id never had the Baingan Masala before but it was sweet(think like caramelized onion sweet not sugar) and savory and went so well with the garlic naan. We were going to skip dessert but Noor suggested we try the Gulab Jamun and Im glad we listened to her. It was fresh and served hot which I wasnt expecting from a dessert. Overall we were very happy with our visit. We hope to come back soon, thank you to Noor and all the lovely folks working in the kitchen this evening.

Not really sure what some of these reviews are on about. The place does not look run down, and the food is delicious. We were looking for a last minute dinner spot as our train ran late into the night, and this was one of the only places open. They close at 10PM so I was kind of wary coming in at 9:30 as I didnt want to be that kind of customer, but they welcomed us in with no issue. We ordered and got served within 10 minutes, and the food was delicious. If theres one thing Id like to see, itd be bigger naan portion sizes for the price, but thats a small thing that didnt detract from the overall experience. Id come here again any day.

We ordered takeout twice from this restaurant & we were severely disappointed both times. Very less quantity for the price & too much oil. Also, taste was next to bland both times even if we mentioned we wanted spicy. We were alarmed at the quantities of oil floating in the curries too. Pricing way too high for the quantity given too.

★★★
August 21, 2024

Got takeout tonight and fairly disappointed. Food was OK tasting, but there were maybe 5 small pieces of chicken in the $18 butter chicken. Seems expensive for a container of sauce. Same with our curry, and $5 for one piece of Naan with raw garlic on top... Typically not one to complain about portion sizing but there is just no bang for your buck here.

Very surprised to see mainly good reviews as our group did not experience this. Very slow service, our drinks (just pop and 1 glass of wine) didn t come until minutes before our entrees. They were out of multiple things which required several trips back and forth upstairs for our server to tell us this. After putting in our orders about 15 mins later our server came back to tell us one entree they were out of. So my friend tried to order something else, an app, they were also out of that. Then she tried to order the tandoori chicken app, but was told it will be another 35 minutes to make that. We also found it odd multiple persons ordered would be served on one dish. Two people ordered the same app( not to share, individual orders), they weren t sitting next to each other, and the apps came on one plate for them to split up between them. Pricing: we were honestly shocked when our butter chicken came and was not served with rice or naan. Just a VERY small dish of the chicken in sauce, probably 4/5 chunks tops, for $18. We all then ordered naan, which was $5 for one single piece. And then another $5 for a portion of rice. It would be wise to have the choice or rice or naan included as a side and up the price to show this. We were seated upstairs where the air conditioner was broken, even though downstairs there was only two tables of people. We ve come here many times under previous ownership as a group so I know our group of 6 could have fit at a main floor table which was much cooler. Plus then the server wouldn t have had to make a million trips up the stairs. It was clear our server was very new to the job, and she seemed confused the entire time. Not fair to her or patrons to have someone without a trainer assisting them if they are not ready to be serving tables solo. We have no reason to return after this experience

My family went this restaurant on June 30, 2024 evening 4pm for some Indian food. We ate Chicken 65 as appetizer, Butter Naan with Kadai Chicken and Jira rice. After having food, we had serious stomach upset and diarrhea. That happened for our 3 year old kid too. And we are the first customer on the same date. I wont recommend this place for any person. What a horrible food and experience we had.

2nd time at bayleaf. We last went about 6 months ago. The good this time was not As impressive. We had butter chicken and chicken korma but the chicken was tough and overcooked, not sure whether it was microwaved and added to the sauce but the meal came VERY quickly. There were 3 TVs on showing cricket, basketball and a landscape. There were 2 Waitresses chatting at the bar with an older Indian gentleman (manager? Owner?) right in the middle of the restaurant for most of our meal. If the staff want to socialise, Maybe not do it right in the middle of the restaurant. Also the place was airless. Not even sure the AC was operational? Our waiter was new but very attentive and helpful. Was excited to go back a 2nd time. Not sure we will go for a third time.

We had a great experience at BayLeaf on Monday night. First off - YES! A restaurant open on a Monday. Thank you!! I was a bit nervous about arriving within an hour of closing, because one of the other Indian places in Belleville is known for not wanting to seat guests when its 59 minutes or less before close. No issues here. We were welcomed and seated promptly, and the restaurant was quite busy. Service was efficient and communicative. Menu has all the favourites, or at least our favourites. Dal, Baingan bharta, vindaloo - all accounted for. Although the restaurant was busy, the food arrived in a timely manner and was hot, flavourful, and spicy. We ordered medium heat, which was a bit spicier than other places Ive been to. Once we finished, we werent kept waiting, and paying our bill was easy and efficient. I live in PEC, and BayLeaf is a 70 minute round-trip for me. Worth the drive.

Very expensive for the quantity you get. We paid 18$ for chicken tikka masala and got a small little container that barely fed the two of us. We asked for mild and it was very spicy. Also ordered the chili chicken which was 90% vegetables and 10% chicken. We got maybe 4 pieces of chicken. Not impressed with our first time ordering bay leaf, unfortunately.

So, My husband tried to order takeout, Someone picked up the call and mute him for 3-4 minutes, no response after. Then I tried from my cell, no answer again after calling more than 8 times. My husband wanted to try new place because it was his birthday. Someone picked my call, thank god, but she told me that she can not take my order now because they have really important guests in their resturant..I said that every customer is important, please take my order, we want to order some food. She keep repeating same thing about guests. I ask- what kind of CUSTOMER SERVICE is this!! I have never heard this thing before in my life. Please teach your staff how to handle this kind of situations! because this kind of behaviour can ruin someones important moment or time too. Thanks

Please dont waste your money. You will regret it. Once me and my friend went there i bought some dishes which are very expensive and the quantity was less compared to the price. The guy who served us already added 12 dollars tip without asking us. Bad experience ever.

Have eaten a lot of Indian Cuisine in my time, but this one was perhaps one of the worst. The Chicken Tikka was beyond overcooked, almost like eating cardboard. The butter chicken lacked any flavor, and the rice was overcooked, if thats possible. Lastly, the Naan was over-priced, and to make it worse, it cost 85$. Never again!! Food

May 21, 2024

The worst Indian Food I have had in 50 years. Everything cooked to rubber. I had to remove a layer of grease on the so called butter chicken. No idea about seasonings.I could not distinguish chicken from tofu. Must have been cooked weeks ago. I can only say that the place needs to close or take some cooking classes!!!

We went on sunday for dinner at bayleaf. Some dishes were fine however kadhai paneer/ samosas were too oily. Butter chicken was sour. When we informed the server she said she will tell the manager. The manager then forcefully bought new samosas and kept them on the table we mentioned that we don t want any replacement. The manager then went and bought the chef to our table. We again mentioned that we dont want any replacement just take it off our bill as we didnt eat any of these 3 items. The chef mentioned its ok i will get u new ones made just pack it and take it home and he left. When the bill gave those 3 dishes were added to the bill( there s wasnt any tip already added in the first bill, nor we were told or we saw anywhere written that they will charge 18% tip) when we questioned Breanna who was our server. She said she will talk to the manager and then she bought the new bill and in the new bill they took off those 3 dishes and added the exact same amount towards the tip. Its not about adding or not adding the tip but its the oversmartness of the manager that we didnt like. First of all the quantity is too less for even 2 people, prices are way too high and then they also do these cheap tricks. We were very dissapointed with the visit.

Went for dinner. Ordered tikka masa, mango lassi, garlic naan and butter naan. We waited almost 45 minutes for food to be brought to the table, while 2 other tables that came after us, received their food. The mango lassi was horrible, received burnt naan, no flavour in the butter chicken and tikka masa. Informed 2 servers there was no hand soap in the ladies washroom, waited 15 minutes, and ended up washing my hands in the male washroom.

It was a horrible experience. No taste in food at all. And it was unbelievably expensive. Anybody who is watching this review please don t waste your money on this.

Very impressed by the new Bay Leaf restaurant. The food was excellent, staff were very kind & personable & the table top experience was memorable. We will be back for sure! Kid-friendliness: Our waiter was super kind & personable with my daughter. When checking in about our food, he would also specifically ask her. :)

Very bad experience, we ordered food two times and both times in food there was hair. We wasted two hours there and eat nothing. I think they should need to use some precaution measures while making food. Its not. Fair customer wasted two hours and get nothing. I dont think so if any customer experience this thing two time they will go there next time.

Came here for the first time. They took almost 1.5 hours for the takeout The girl serving me had no idea about how long it will take for the food to be prepared. Not coming here again. Expensive too

What an amazing experience to celebrate our 14th wedding anniversary! Vegetable Pakora to share as an appetizer. A huge plate so Im glad we decided to share! We were undecided what we each wanted so chose 2 dishes to share: butter chicken and kadhai paneer! Topped it with rice, garlic naan and tandoori roti! OMG, our tastebuds were dancing! Amazing flavors which were matched with amazing service from Alexis! She was knowledgeable, friendly, attentive and very pleasant! Hats off to this new gem in Belleville!! Vegetarian options: Menu offers vegetarian section!

Recently dined at Bay Leaf with my neighbours, one of whom is from India. He was impressed with the quality and authenticity of the food. Service from Natasha was excellent. She was attentive and helpful, especially for this Canadian boy who is not adventurous when it comes to food. She made sure that the kitchen knew to moderate the spice for me. A smallish but very pleasant space with tables arranged to maximixe privacy. Parking: In the evening there is a large open parking lot a few steps from the restaurant.

SPICY AND NO FLAVOR. Me and my wife ordered for the first time from this place since our usual go to place was closed, 2 butter chicken we clarified NOT SPICY and instead we got two of the most spicy dishes weve ever had. and the cherry on the pie was that it was $61 almost double from where we usually go. Save your money and your taste buds.

Super disappointing experience. We went on a Saturday night. We were given menus and it wasn t until about 15 minutes later when the waiter came to take our order that we were informed they were out of all meat except chicken. Wouldn t you have told us that when you gave us the menu? The food was tasty but for $80 we got 2 very small meals and a drink. When we finished, we sat waiting for our bill for about 20 minutes even though there was only us and 1 other table. Eventually our waiter walked right past us and went outside and the other server had to get us our bill. The restaurant also looks run down inside and wasn t a great atmosphere. Can t say we ll be back.

Went last night to try! (Friday) unfortunately we were unable to try the restaurant because they only take reservations on Friday & Saturday! Which is fine but before heading out to the restaurant I creeped their pages on social media and there was nothing stated about only taking reservations for Friday & Saturday nights! I really think that if you only take reservations for Friday & Saturday nights, that it should be well posted on your social media so people don t go out of their way on Friday or Saturday and be disappointed like we were last night! Super disappointed we didn t get to try them yet but we will definitely be trying to go back after knowing about reservations! Please consider posting that information on your social media s!

I recently dined at Bayleaf and had an incredible experience. The butter chicken was hands down the best Ive ever had, bursting with flavor and perfectly cooked. The goat masala was equally amazing, tender and rich in spices. The service was impeccable, and the ambiance was delightful.
