Took my grandson and girlfriend to bay leaf for his birthday. I asked difference on two prawn dishes. One had prawns in shells and one did not. I ordered the one without shells. When my dish arrived it was the one in the shells. They did offer to change it but as the other three guests had got theirs it would not be appropriate. The waiter admitted he got the two dishes mixed up and he works there. The dish itself was full of onions and not much else. I would have enjoyed the correct dish more (maybe ). The waiters kept hovering around our table and taking empty plates away hardly before we had swallowed last mouthful. We have been to Tamarind before in blofield and it is much nicer in every way. Better food, bigger portion, better service, better ambience and cheaper. Would not go here again but go to The Tamarind instead.

Booked a takeaway and we received an email advising an estimated delivery time. After waiting 20 minutes over the allotted time I phoned them and were told it was on the way. 15 minutes later it arrived so they were either making other deliveries first or they hadn't actually left when I phoned. All the food was lukewarm so I immediately phoned them to complain and their excuse was that it had been a busy night! They suggested that the next time they would make sure we were given a better service but I won't be taking them up on their offer as I will never be using them again.

Went with my parents to eat to celebrate their wedding anniversary. 25 min wait for a table although we booked - but accept they can’t be helped if people linger over their meal however I certainly don’t think that’s why in this instance. Drinks arrived swiftly after being seated however what followed was awful service, and absolute rudeness from the staff. After ordering our meals and 1 1/2 hours later not receiving it I started to feel unwell with what I knew was a blood glucose dip, my husband went to ask how long food would be and was told 5 mins. 10 mins later nothing and do husband advised if not here soon we would be leaving. This resulted in 3 staff members then proceeding to mimic him taking the Mickey. The food when it arrived was tasty, but Luke warm, I couldn’t enjoy my meal as by this point I felt sick and really non of us enjoyed it. We had all gone past the point of wanting the food after just over a 2 hour wait. I asked to speak to the manager, and was met with “ it happens” I pointed out when I order food to take away it’s ready in 30 mins and they clearly prioritise that service. Prior to our meal arriving nothing had come out of the kitchen for a good 45 mins. All tables were complaining how long the wait was, 2 hours to wait for a meal after ordering is ridiculous. Absolutely ruined a rare family evening out, we won’t be returning.

Food nice, but service absolutely awful. Arrived at 6:30 and got our starter at 8:00. We were then told the reason our food was late was because we ordered a starter. Honestly won't be eating here again

Couldn't find what I wanted on the online menu so phoned to check and ordered directly with the staff, 2 Butter Chickens, 2 Garlic Naan Breads, 1 with cheese and 4 Poppadums. For a start this came to £32.60 which I though was very expensive considering we didn't have any rice but anyway... Service was good, food was prepared quickly however, when we got home we had what tasted like 2 Chicken Korma's and no cheese on one of the naan breads. My go to curry is Butter Chicken and never before have I had one that tasted like this. When I phoned to tell them the mix up they told me to bring the order back and they would sort it out but at 7.15pm and a 20 minute drive there and back I was not doing that! Very disappointed.

Called in to order a takeaway meal. Was presented a bill that included a service charge of £1.20p not mentioned on the menu. I asked what service I'd be receiving as I was taking the food away, and was told that it's to cover the cost of takeaway containers and a bag, and was told that nobody has ever complained before. I left without the meal and will not return.

I ordered a home delivery & was told in the email that if there was likely to be any difference in the estimated delivery time I’d be informed. I don’t expect delivery exactly on time due to traffic & weather conditions & am happy if it’s 5-10 mins late (early would be nice). However no communication & the delivery arriving half an hour late is unacceptable. I called & explained my disappointment but the gentleman I spoke to was having another conversation at the same time with a member of staff. This made a bad situation much worse, it was very rude. I’ve eaten at the restaurant several times & always enjoyed the food & service & thought I’d try the delivery service. Unfortunately this has put me off using them in the future for sit down & certainly delivery. The delivered food wasn’t particularly warm as the driver explained to me when I mentioned that it was half an hour late that he’d had two other deliveries before mine.

Have tried this place for eating in and takeaway. Both times, the food is bland, over cooked so it's dry and inedible. We tried twice to make sure the first time wasn't a one-off. I'd recommend Tamarind in Blofield over this place. Don't claim to be fine dining when the ingredients is poor and the food is so bad.

Great place for Indian fine dining. As a group we ordered chicken tikka masala, rogan josh, madras, vindaloo with sides of rice, nann and aloo. Was all amazing, everyone was happy with their food and we all left feeling full and happy. Atmosphere was great, very chilled and comfortable. They have a little waterfall in there and blue downlighting which is a nice little touch. Wait staff were friendly and polite as always and the manager was very attentive and even showed us out and thanked us for dining. We have also had takeaways from here and were all to the same high standard. We will definitely be going back for more! Thank you Bay Leaf - Brundall. We highly recommend 👌

Generally poor service. We made one request that we wanted a reasonable gap between courses. We had eaten three courses and had left within an hour. The waiter also showed displeasure when we ordered something which he could not find on the menu, we had to point it out. First time we not left a tip in years. The food was acceptable but only average. We were disappointed as the reviews for the place were positive

Since there fairly recent opening, I have had 9+ takeaways. Staff are friendly and polite. Good discount if collected. Food taste AMAZING. Generous portion size. I truly hope they do not change their recipe / chef.

My favourite curry house by far! Beautiful restaurant, beautiful decor, lovely ambience, attentive and friendly staff with amazing customer service.. nothing is too much trouble and they go above and beyond to ensure you have the best and most enjoyable evening. I am clinically vulnerable and they have always been so accommodating and made me feel safe by putting us in a quiet area and keeping tables free around me. Being a Brummie I absolutely love a curry, I've been to a few Indian restaurants but the food here is authentic, faultless and so full of flavour. Looking forward to returning soon, could not recommend this restaurant enough.

A lovely modern Indian restaurant, very pleasant atmosphere and exceptional staff. Our food was delicious and they went the extra mile with proving a tailormade dish suitable for our toddler.

We booked online at the last minute for tonight. A friendly welcome. Poppadoms were fresh and crispy, delicious pickle tray. Starters and main course were all piping hot with the appropriate level of spice. Side dishes were equally good. We thoroughly enjoyed the meal. We would say it is the best in the area! This was our first visit and we will definitely be returning.

Bay Leaf has recently opened in Brundall and its good to have a local restaurant once again. As well as seated dining they also operate a takeaway, which is what I had and what this review is based on. Easy to order and pay via...

Had another takeaway from here yesterday, as always food was top notch. All our group individually agreed how tasty, well seasoned and cooked our meals were, despite a bit of a hike to get to the Curry Pot it is definitely my go to now.
