“ Amazing food and amazing service. Highly recommend. Waiter was amazing and toned down the spice level of my wife’s dish. Everything we had was perfect. ”
“ for us this was the first experience with the Indian kitchen, but definitely not the last. Staff was more than friendly. Everything was explained calmly, tailored to our preferences in terms of taste, for example. We would recommend it to everyone. Thank you! ”
“ I couldn’t wait to share my time and experience at the Bayleaf. The waiter Shafi introduced himself, asked how we were. I was celebrating my Birthday, and there was a beautiful white bouquet of roses waiting for me at the the table (arranged by my friends and the restaurant) within minutes we were snacking on popadom with four dips, the sweetest mango chutney, spicy delicious pickle chutney, cool creamy mint and finely diced onion. The Tikka Masala was positively the best I’d ever had, with the veggie curry and chicken tikka rice, I couldn’t stop indulging, just simply full of flavour and tasted so fresh. This restaurant came recommended to me and without a doubt it did not disappoint. Perfect for the family gathering or for just two friends catching up, there is something on the menu for everyone’s pallet. Fresh vegan/veggie option to chicken beef or lamb. This will be my Indian restaurant go to. Not just for the food but also the warm and charming hospitality. Thankyou Bayleaf, we will be back ”
“ This place was quite classy with a spacious and warm atmosphere. The owner was friendly and our meals arrived in good time. I had the Chicken Tika Masala which was possibly the best Indian dish ever. Quite sweet which suited my palette. We had a view of the sea which was nice. Background music was Indian and not too loud so was a nice ambience. Prices were reasonable considering the great menu choices, great service and beautiful food. Highly recommend this place. ”
“ The food was great but the Service was even better, we arrived too late to be able to dine in but the host welcomed us in informed us that they were only doing take away at that time and welcomed us in. We ordered had some mando lassi as we waited and chatted up the host. The food was excellent! Flavor wise amazing, my mouth is watering as I type this remembering the food. Would rate higher if I could! ”
“ I just discovered this amazing Indian restaurant in Brighton called Bayleaf. From the moment I walked in, I felt right at home - the atmosphere was super welcoming and cozy. Plus, the prices are ridiculously affordable, making it the perfect spot for a delicious lunch and dinner The service was top-notch, too - the staff were friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed. But what really caught my eye was the aesthetic decorations throughout the restaurant, including a beautiful fishtank that added a touch of tranquility to the space. Now, onto the food - oh my goodness, The tandoori chicken was absolutely divine, and the salad added the perfect freshness to the dish. I was blown away by the flavors and textures.If you're looking for a gem in Brighton, go to Bayleaf. Trust me, you won't be disappointed. this Indian restaurant is a must-visit. ”
“ I had an excellent dinner at Bayleaf on a holiday weekend in Brighton. I was able to get a table immediately, but I was by myself, so larger parties should reserve a table. I had a prawn appetizer that was almost like a soft taco, and my main was a delicious fish curry. The food was all delicious. The waitstaff was friendly and helpful. The layout of the restaurant is tastefully designed. It was an excellent meal. Highly recommend! ”
“ We just walked in at eight on a Sunday night, and we're met with such a warm welcome and the aroma of delicious Asian food. Service was so friendly, and quick. The food was beautifully prepared and cooked. The only downside, and this is no biggie, is the spice levels. The menu says that you can ask for your preferred level, and we decided to leave the dishes as they were; we had never eaten there so didn't know what the starting point is and how high it could go. The food we ordered was not as spicy as we like, but was delicious none the less. Would I go back? Yes, I would. Would I recommend Bayleaf to a friend? Of course, it was a lovely dining experience and the food was delicious. ”
