  • Bengali delights Mar 14, 2013

    BAY LEAF is a Bengali restaurant in Gopalapuram that serves some tasty food.
    The ambiance is great, but it's not a very large place and a bit confined.
    Coming to the food, Chicken kathi roll - lovely parathas with stuffed chicken grills.
    Lucknowi chicken biriyani, alu parantha and Kalimirrch kebab were really tasty options that I sampled.
    Coming to deserts I had a lovely gulab jamun that was heavenly !
    I personally found the prices to be a bit expensive, but I recommend you go try this place for the good food it offers.

  • Great biryani too Nov 19, 2012

    As many reviews say Bayleaf does serve up some good Bengali food but what it is not known for is the amazing Lucknowi Biryani they have. I have lost count of the times I have got the biryani home delivered - arguably some of the best biryani in the city and the raita is awesome too. Another great dish thatyou might want to try is the pomfret paturi (fish wrapped in banana leaves and steamed) the other bengali dishes taste fairly good but are a little expensive, something that you might not mind so much considering there are hardly any places serving good bengali food in the city.

  • Yummy food! Nov 09, 2012

    This place has a variety of kathi rolls. Try the chilly chicken roll if want something different. The main course stays as bengali as it promises to be. You can order for simple as well as elaborate or spicy stuff - the menu has it all. Do try the gold coin prawns - a speciality from Calcutta. You can try the Doi Phulkopi and yogurt-based cauliflower curry which is really tasty. The kawsha murg with luchis make for a divine combination. Top it all up with some gulab jamus and ice-cream at the end. :)

  • Good food but poor service Apr 09, 2012

    The spread is good and there is quite a lot to choose from the Bengali dishes even for vegetarians like us. We tried out mixed veg kababs, veg pulao and Potolmer Doloma (it was a dish with wax gourd). We have never tried anything Bengali before to gauge its authenticity, but the flavor was mild and very tasty. The gourds were crisp on the outside and generously stuffed with crumbled paneer. However, the service leaves a lot of scope of improvement. I guess they are short staffed because orders take a long time to be served. And sadly for us their card machine was not working and we had to walk... read more

  • Quite Good Mar 15, 2012

    I went there with a group of friends recently. I can't say how authentic it was but it was fresh and delicious. The mains were definitely the highlight and they had a large but not overwhelming selection to choose from. The Bengali food was probably the best, ordered from their specials menu. As well the vegetarian dishes were quite good and their ice tea was amazing.
    The waiters are semi-professional,but I didn't find the service bad, perhaps a bit slow. The atmosphere is quite pleasant with nice lighting and décor. Overall a nice place to relax with friends or as a couple over a lingering    ... read more

  • pathetic home delivery Oct 12, 2011

    Just now I ordered Bhapa Ilish . I was anticipating it eagerly given the fact that Ilish ( Hilsa fish ) items in chennai cannot be found easily . But , to my surprise , I got three small pieces....!! Called them back , they replied back saying that proper sized pieces were not available...and hence those pieces....and will you believe the price for those miniature pieces... 450 rupees !!!! Along with Vat and service charges it became 482 rs.

  • Disappointing Mar 05, 2011

    Bayleaf was a serendipitous find, but the happiness was short lived. Service was never something to write home about, but recently I have been finding that even the fish served is stale. Specially the Bhetki is old.

    On the pro side is that their ice tea and their veg dishes are good, if you are ready to put up with their pathetic service.

  • Awfully Stale Food Feb 12, 2011

    Sorry to inform that today I ordered parcels from Bayleaf Restaurant at Gopalpuram Chennai for a Bengali Fish Curry & Chilli Chicken. To my astonishment when I reached home I found that both the dishes
    were served stale. This is totally unacceptable especially when this so called restaurant charges a premium as a speciality restaurant. Also I informed the waiter taking the order that to cook it light since I have a 3 year old kid. In spite of knowing this, I was served stale food. Both the fish & chicken seemed to be old and stinky. I would not let this go easily....

  • Good one Dec 31, 2010

    The place is pretty small. The ambience is good, which has a touch of a old style interiors. Situated right behind Gangotree, they do serve a good variety of bengal food. The service was good., and the time taken to serve the food was perfect. They explain the food, what it is and what it is made of, and the recommendations they give is good.
    The taste of the food was quite exceptional. We happened to eat some briyanis and had non veg platter, paneer.., and had no complaints with the food. Twice I've been to this place, and liked it a lot.
    Totally, a very good restaurant.
