Wooow!!! Worst Butter Chicken I’ve ever had!!! Thought I’d treat myself to some authentic Indian food but would have been better off buying a store bought jar from the grocery store. What overpriced, flavourless & disgusting food!!! For what they charge I was expecting authentic Indian food, but instead received watery and flavourless garbage (have you heard of spice & seasoning food?). They don’t even use tandoori chicken making the texture of the “curry” watery and it isn’t creamy like it should be nor do they use tomato as the base for the sauce so even the colour is wrong! The garlic naan was extremely doughy and don’t get me started on the £4 rice (how is that justified!). It’s an insult to even call this Indian food as it disrespects the delicious cuisine you can actually find in India!! Extremely disappointed & I feel cheated out of my money. NEVER VISITING AGAIN…. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY HERE!! Go buy “The Spice Tailor” curry pack for £3 from the grocery store and cook it yourself.

One of the worst Indian restaurants I have ever been to. The staff made the entire experience feel rushed except from when we asked for the bill. The food was bland and sauces were watery and the chicken was discoloured. The samosa’s charged at £5.95 were advertised in the menu as coming with a sauce but instead I was given two small dry samosas in a cereal bowl and when I asked about the sauce I was given a small pot of what tasted like tangy tomato ketchup, very misleading. They also do not use proper formal dinner plates at this restaurant instead you are given an oval shaped dish with high sides making it feel like school dinners. Terrible value for money, the food does not taste anywhere near the standard they are charging. They even tried to charge £4 extra for a side dish but luckily we caught it on the bill and asked them to change it. Would not recommend at all.

I ordered the Aloo Jeera with rice and garlic naan. Everything was delicious, very flavorful. The service was attentive and polite. However, I felt a bit nickel and dimed. Upon sitting down, I was asked if I wanted papadom. I thought it might be complimentary, but no. I was charged for two pieces as well as for the condiments-- I was solo so I didn't need that much food and only ate a quarter of one papadom. The naan was also a bit expensive at 4.95 for one piece. The portions were a small. It didn't feel like a meal that should cost one person 30+ quid. I also ordered a "lemonade" and was brought a Sprite. Sprite is not lemonade. It was 5 stars for the food, but 4 stars for the prices. I was also asked to tip at the end, given a choice from 12-20%.

Fresh ingredients and beautifully cooked curries! We came in as a walk-in for two on a Tuesday night and were treated to amazing service from Raffy and his colleagues, as well as delicious dishes. We ordered the poppadoms with dips, onion bhajis, garlic naan, egg grid rice, chilli aubergine curry, pickled chicken curry, and the Pinot Grigio wine. We can’t pick out which dish was best! The naans were light, the egg fried rice flavours were complex, and the spice was all perfect. We felt really looked after by the staff too! We would highly recommend Bayleaf to anyone in Brighton for the best curry in town, perhaps the UK!
