Bayleaf Kitchen

Nice restaurant, great attentive staff and good food. Very complex flavours and large portions give this restaurant the edge The flavours may not always be what you're used to but, if your new to this region of curry cooking, its best to take advice from the staff , who will guide you through the extensive menu. Very good value for money.

Our first time at the Bayleaf Kitchen and was very pleased with our evening there. The staff were absolutely first class from start to finish and the food , truly exceptional. Was the best Indian restaurant we have eaten in and definitely the best food too. Will return in the near future. Brilliant!!!

OMG....had the most fantastic meal last night. We've been here a few times and it just seems to get better and better. Can't wait for out next visit. Definitely recommend it .

Visited here with my partner and we both agreed this was the Best Indian restaurant we have eaten at. Good price, exceptional quality and a friendly service!

Always a pleasure to eat here, with the friendly welcoming team. Food good, especially the fish curry and some of the vegetarian dishes. Several large groups having celebrations meant there was a really lively atmosphere and staff were rushed off their feet. But still very good service.

The staff were very friendly and attentive and the food was very good and of a high standard. I will be happy to go again.

Everything was fantastic - the food was amazing, so tasty, service was perfect, the restaurant was very clean & nice decor. It was our first visit & could not have been better, will definitely be going back.

Fantastic food. Tried 2 dishes I have never heard of and they were great. Definitely worth the gamble. First time I have visited and will be returning.

Excellent food as always! They coped brilliantly with our party of 24, including cateting for gluten free and vegan guests. I can't wait to go again!

My meal was excellent and was one of the best curries have had in a long time. Service was excellent too. This restaurant lived up to the hype and the good reviews are genuine.

The best Indian I have had in a long time. The food was very fresh and wasn’t greasy. Staff were extremely friendly and couldn’t do enough to help out.

Delicious food! Cant wait to visit again and work my way through the menu!

Service was quite slow & had to ask for the bill several times. I ordered shredded chicken breast which was clearly thigh meat which was disappointing. I came here previously & really thought it was incredible but the other night it felt like I was in a totally different restaurant. The chicken apparently was to be served on a hot plate but this also wasn't the case. Very disappointing for somewhere that I truly spoke very highly of to friends previously.

Very welcoming staff, wide menu choice, all our dishes were beautifully cooked. Excellent service from the staff, We really enjoyed our visit and will definitely go there again!

Superb food and attentive friendly staff. I can see what the place is so popular! We went as a couple and we’re seated within three minutes of arriving. We would both definitely visit there again and certainly recommend to anyone wanting beautifully cooked and presented fine Indian food. A special mention to philip our waiter and the incredible Indian chef!! Thanks again!

Been here loads of times, and is the BEST Indian restaurant by far. Food is amazing and service is top notch. Would definitely recomend to everyone.

The restaurant was very busy and we had to wait a considerable time for our booked table. Some issues with the food. Charming and helpful staff.

Excellent service, great food; the management got out of their way to serve us and make us feel good. I fully recommend it. We will go back again

Excellent service and most importantly of all, superb food. Very much recommended, excellent quality, varied menu, reasonably priced, fresh ingredients. I will certainly be back.

Most enjoyable meal that I have had since moving down from London in September, staff where efficient and friendly without being in your face. Would definitely recommend.

Good menu service and price. Just missing something in the quality of taste and interest. Overall though excellent value for money and a welcome addition to Southampton High Street restaurants

Excellent food and service. Staff recommended new dishes to try and it was all excellent. We would definitely go back if we visit Southampton again.

Menu is varied and interesting, food is delicious and plentiful, the staff are friendly and attentive, it is excellent value for money. Would highly recommend.

One of the finest, if not the finest chef on the south coast, and all the staff make you feel at home and chat to you.

Absolutely fantastic! The food was outstanding, the service impeccable! Haven't stopped talking about our evening there! Have highly recommended it to family & friends. We can't wait to go back.

Great food and service. Would recommended and visit again. Only criticism I would have was that the bins in the toilet were overflowing with paper hand towels. Othwerwise would have gave top score. Thank you.

The restaurant was very busy and the service was much slower than on previous visits. When the food arrived it was good but I would think twice about visiting again on a Saturday

Visited this restaurant on Friday 23rd with friends, fantastic food and service, highly recommend. Very friendly staff and great atmosphere, definitely will return now my favorite Indian restaurant.

Wonderful food In a really relaxing setting with very attentive staff. There were 5 of us and everyone agreed it was one of the best Indian meals we had experienced.

Fabulous food and great service. I recommend this place for a great meal out. Try one of the biryanis I've been twice now and it was just as good if not better second time round.

Fabulous place! Relaxed service and very friendly service! Recommend the Mango Mojito! Food was great - an altogether great experience and we will be back very soon.

Excellent food and service, very friendly restaurant. Ate there on Saturday 29th July. We cant wait to eat in there again soon. Best wishes, Sharon Ward!

First time at the restaurant and the food was excellent and the staff were very friendly. Looking forward to going again and happy to recommend it to anyone.

This is quite simply the best Indian restaurant I have ever eaten in - and there have been countless. Food is incredible. This is a hidden gem! And no, I have no connection to the restaurant!

The Bayleaf was excellent, the food was so tasty and the staff so good. Would recommend this restaurant to anyone. Best tasting Indian I've had in years.

Great food and very friendly service. We will definitely be back. We had gluten free diners and the menu was clearly marked which makes a nice change.

We had a wonderful meal on Saturday night. Service was fabulous. Food even better. Would highly recommend this restaurant. We will definitely be going again.

Our frist visit to the bayleaf, bit of a wait for the food but worth it. We will definitely go back :) great night! Thankyou

Excellent food and service. Also good knowledge of vegan options. We were a late booking due to a concert but were not rushed. Will be going back

This is a great restaurant with very friendly staff, but not obtrusive. We were made to feel very welcome and there was a good atmosphere. The decor was to a very high standard and the table settings were first class. The food was excellent, we haven't had a curry of this standard for quite some time. The portions were generous and we think the "heat scale" used was probably about right. We would thoroughly recommend this restaurant .
