This is by far my favorite Indian restaurant. The food is always great and consistent. The staff are so nice, polite and professional. They make you feel like you’re a part of their family. If you’re looking for a great Indian restaurant…look no more!!!

I’ve gotten take-out from the Bayleaf a few times, and it was always excellent! The food is never bland or not spicy enough. I finally went to dine in tonight with my friend. For being a Tuesday night the service was very good, and there was enough people that it didn’t feel completely empty. I want to try everything ... on their menu because I know it will all be good!

In the past, I have both dined-in at Bay Leaf with colleagues and also ordered take-out for my family. The food is outstanding. The staff is kind. My personal experiences have all been positive and everyone I have spoken with raves about the restaurant. Highly recommended!

A very cozy restaurant that has been a staple of South Orange for years. The staff are friendly and make it a point to treat all customers, whether dine-in or takeout, with respect and appreciation. It’s some of the best assortments of Indian cuisine that we have in this area!

OhMyGosh, my wife and I had such an enjoyable first time dinning experience yesterday at BayLeaf. The decor and ambiance of the restaurant are very nice. The server, Niel was pleasant and knowledgeable. The food was simply delicious. The vegetable samosas had a crunchy exterior and were tasty. The shrimp biryani had ... a hot yet spicy and enjoyable kick. The shrimp Malabar cooked in a tomato based sauce was also a delight to our taste buds. The garlic naan was also perfectly made. Everything was absolutely delicious and plenty to satisfy us and have leftovers to take home. I strongly recommend BayLeaf for absolutely delicious Indian cuisine in a home felt environment by an incredibly welcoming staff 👍👌👏🫶. Namaste' 🙏🏽 Read More

I, Michael B. Conde, highly recommend anyone from any walk of life to go and eat at this unique place in South Orange Village, the Bay Leaf Restaurant. Neil and Terrence, made us feel at home, serving us great chicken samosas, a great creamy spinach, with cheek peas, and curry lamb served with their delicious rice. ... Please, try it! You will love it. Don't forget the garlic nan. Read More

Came here for a quick family dinner since my son attends Seton Hall. Service was kind and prompt. Food was excellent. We ordered Non Veg grill, Chicken Tikka, Chicken Keema, Butter Chicken, Paneer Tikka Masala and Chole and Taka Dal. All of the items had balanced flavors, and heat levels were perfect. So many indian ... restaurants just make food spicy and leave it at that. Not this place. Every dish was unique in flavor even though we ordered the standard go to indian dishes.Serving sizes were ample and more than plenty for our 9 person table to share with one another. Oh and the garlic naan was soft and pliable as well. Will definitely return. Thank you! Read More
