Bay Leaf Lounge in Northumberland

A good selection to choose from. Fantastic service, very friendly and helpful. This restaurant has now permanently closed.

Lovely and caring staff make you feel right at home.

A very good store and very clean

Me and my Daughter stumbled on this restaurant tonight. The whole experience was fantastic ie food, staff, comfort, treatment. Zara was extremely attentive and friendly. The food we had was utterly delicious and we got a lovely surprise at the price. Thank you for making our evening so wonderful. Rose and Sally.

super thin watery and bland madras with dry rice, maybe so bad because it was a Monday night but it was the one of the worst Indians I’ve had. Nice delivery guy tho

Absolutely amazing food! Everything cooked fresh and made to perfection. The staff are the most kindest and most friendly people ever, definitely made us feel very very welcome! Would highly recommend guys!! CHECK IT OUT YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED👍🏼

We enjoyed our meal, lamb was cooked beautifully in a tasty sauce. Portions were just right, so we could share a couple of sides as well without ending up leaving half. Service was spot on, friendly, polite and attentive. Can recommend for a reasonably priced, authentic curry.

We were walk in customers and the staff accommodated us. The food was amazing (wife recommends prawn bhaji) it was really fresh and full of flavour. The ladies at the front of house were welcoming and friendly- we could have stayed all night chatting. Really nice for family or couples nights highly recommend.

We are currently on holiday in Rennington from Porthsmouth. The lady that took our order was extremely polite and friendly. The food we ordered was delivered hot within the time specified. The food itself was delicious and the portions were just right. i couldnt believe the size of the onion Bhajis. The lamb was so tender and the sauces were not heavy at all. Would definately recommend this takeaway and when we come back up will definately be trying the restaurant. Superb.

We found this restaurant just walking through alnwick thought we'd give it a try the food was absolutely superb the service was outstanding wish we had something as amazing where we live

Just fancied a good holiday curry experience and tried The Bay Leaf Lounge in Alnwick. Turned out to be a great choice for the family. Very good and personalised service at table and from chef. I could hear him singing in the kitchen :)) My lamb korai was spectacular in particular. A enjoyable and memorable evening all round. Many thanks Oly Kirk-Alton North Lincolnshire

Amazing food and service. Would definitely recommend to everyone.

Fantastic service great food was a delight to go there tonight to try something new and didn't disappoint definitely going to go back

We ordered well in advance of the delivery time we wanted and were kept fully informed of the progress of our order which was a little later than we’d requested but that was not a problem. The meal was delivered piping hot with beautifully crisp poppadoms and fluffy naan bread. All four of us thoroughly enjoyed our choices. We will certainly order from the Bay Leaf Lounge again.

Wonderful, authentic Indian and Pakistani food cooked by the father of this little, family-run curry house. The daughter who served us was very aware of the fact that they were very quiet in the restaurant, though they were doing a roaring trade in take-away and delivery. She was friendly and a great waitress. I thoroughly recommend visiting the restaurant as the service and atmosphere are great.

The food was lovely and tasty - and waitress (Ara) friendly and efficient - and accommodated us despite not having a reservation and arriving a little before opening time. Thank you for a wonderful evening!

As new residents of the area we’ve been working our way round the town trying out all the dining options and tonight got a takeaway. Only positive was the Naan, mushroom pilau rice was exceptionally bland and main of tikka jalfrezi completely lacking depth of flavour this restaurant charges premium prices for mediocre food - much better options available in Alnwick

We were visitors to Alnwick this week, staying at the Hallow and Crux, and were looking for a Monday night curry. Quick search found this restaurant, and booked a table over the phone. On arrival the restaurant was quiet, we were first table at 1900 hours..however the staff were extremely attentive and friendly, chatted away and made us feel very welcome. Good comprehensive menu and I would say very reasonable pricing for a sit in meal. Food arrived in good time and was,excellent, hot, very good food. We asked for a soft drink, which they had ran out of and the manager ran across the road to get it in a shop for us.. that was above and beyond. Very good overall. Would definitely go back. But remember to leave the lemon out next time!!

Absolutely amazing food and great service. The entire staff was so kind and very attentive.

The staff are SO kind 🥰 Ara was especially wonderful kind and went above and beyond helping us Americans split our bill. The chef and owner came out to greet us and we felt so special and well taken care of. And the food was AMAZING 😍 thank youuuuu

Wonderful service and great recommendations when trying to decide between options. The food was excellent & the flavors really lovely.

We've just had a wonderful meal here. Were visiting Alnwick from Manchester and are no strangers to eating south Asian food. We were all really impressed with the food. It had a lovely fresh and authentic taste, with differing flavours. Definitely one of the best meals we have eaten in quite some time. Well done! The service was equally first rate, friendly and attentive. I would 100 percent recommend and should we return to Alnwick it will be the first restaurant that we visit. Thanks for a lovely evening.

We've just had a delicious meal at The Bay Leaf Lounge. It's a lovely little restaurant, light airy and tastefully decorated. There was a great variety of dishes and the food we chose was beautiful and very reasonable. The staff were so friendly and welcoming, we shall be visiting again before we go back home.

Another visit. This really is a true family Indian restaurant with Dad in the kitchen. Freshly cooked authentic cuisine. Each couse beautifully presented and served. Had many many dishes from the menu and all have been impressive. Visit and choose any dish and you will be impressed 👌

Great curry with friendly and accommodating staff. We were very well looked after and our children were made to feel welcome.

Brilliant!!!! Easy online ordering, on time for picking up, fantastic tasting food. We would definitely recommend and use again

Great food, friendly staff. Went above and beyond to cater to our needs. Thank you all.

Delicious food and lovely staff. Highly recommended.

The Bay Leaf Lounge in Alnwick is the first Indian restaurant we visited as tourists visiting Alnwick. We were always blown away by the family owners, the ambiance of the restaurant and the quality of the food. We now live in Alnwick and it's still our go to restaurant in Alnwick for special occasions. It's a wee bit off the beaten track but only 2 mins from Market Square and right opposite the bus station Don't miss it. Freshly made Indian cousine by the owner. It's an absolute gem 🎂👍😘🥰🥳🙏👌 xxx

I have just had chicken korma and pilau rice from the bayleaf lounge and it is the most disgusting thing I have ever had, the korma tasted nothing like korma and the pilau rice was nothing like any pilau I've had from any other Indians. I don't normally leave bad reviews but this was truly awful, the whole lot went in the bin after the first taste.

Excellent meal experience in The Bay Leaf Lounge this evening. Staff very attentive (family business) and a nice “clean” feel to the premises. Innovative menu with home cooked items on the list. Food was hot, tasty and reasonably priced. Will definitely return when we are next in the area. We are curry officianado’s - this is one of the most authentic curries we have eaten.

Absolutely terrible. An hour and a half late and half the order missing. Refund was £3 and two cans of coke. Never again.

Excellent food and friendly staff. If you want a quality curry, I recommend The Bay Leaf in Alnwick.

Too tell the truth extremely underwhelmed 3 main meals 2 rice and 2 onion Bahjis and 4 popadoms £57.00 take away That is over priced and the curry was mediocre to poor. Used to use here all the time. The price rises apparently are due to suppliers cost. Funny how the other main Indian restaurant and take away are charging the same prices. The check of it is that popadoms yous to be 55p now £1.60 My advice don’t bother unless you want an over priced poor curry. Go to Aldi

Really nice food and great service even at bank holidays

Good quality and tasty food, highly recommended!

Fantastic restaurant with fabulous staff who couldn’t do enough for us! The service brilliant and the food even better!

Had an absolutely lovely Chicken Sag Special last night and the staff couldn't have been nicer. Well done everyone!

Simply Fabulous Bengali Restaurant :0) We had veg starters and fish main course, chapattis and paratha and everything was just gorgeous. The highest compliment I can pay is this tasted like home cooked (Apna style) food. Nothing super fancy but just really, REALLY tasty (the way food should be). We chatted to the owner and staff ( who were just so friendly) for ages after our meal and the whole experience made us feel really special. If you're in Alnwick and want some great value, really tasty food, made as if it was cooked for a big family meal: head here!

Fantastic Indian takeaway and restaurant. First experience we ordered dinner for the family online. Prices were great and despite the long drive and rural nature of where we stayed, the dinner arrived hot. We enjoyed it so much that we ordered a takeaway for collection later in the week. Lovely and caring staff made you feel welcomed. Food very tasty again and cooked to order. Would definitely recommend.

The food was delicious, freshly made with lots of flavour. There were 7 of us and we all really enjoyed it. The staff were so friendly and accommodating. 5 stars from us all. ✨️

Food was amazing and the staff were lovely. Delivered on time and it all tasted great!

Very nice food mouth watering . Best service My best wishes with you. And thanks for great hospitality 👍

Delicious food and excellent service.

This was amazing food and fantastic service. We went early in the evening and it was nice and quiet too. I highly recommend it!

This was the best takeaway curry we have had for a long time.The staff were very friendly and the food was really tasty .

AMAZING SERVICE AND FOOD THANK YOU WILL BE BACK NEXT TIME WE VISIT AGAIN ......

Excellent service. Food was great, very flavorful. Eat it quick as it wasn't piping hot but was certainly nice

Chicken balti was amazing, everything was top notch. 100% will be ordering again👍👍👍

Placed a large order for over £75 worth of food. They quoted 60 to 90 minutes for delivery, which was a long wait but we thought we'd go for it anyway. As the hour and half approached we called them and were told they hadn't even started cooking it yet. They said it would be AT LEAST another hour! The lady on the phone could not have been less interested and was quite happy to just tell us, without any kind of apology, that they'd been busy (on this Monday evening in October) . Apparently they hadn't had time to change the wait times on Just Eat or even to let us know that there was a problem. When we told her we'd like to cancel it (having paid in full) she told us we'd have to take it up with Just Eat!! I would strongly advise anyone thinking of using the Bay Leaf Lounge to try somewhere else... they really do not seem to care in the slightest about their customers!

Fantastic food and super friendly staff - would recommend!

Excellent Indian meal. Staff were doing their best but they were obviously fewer than needed. Food first class.

Unassuming from the outside but inside you will find the very best of people and top quality food. They obviously care and are proud of what is produced in their kitchen .. The owner and head chef comes out of the kitchen and walks around the tables to make sure everyone is happy and enjoying the food he has watched being cooked under his supervision .. Unlike many Indian restaurant's you can taste the spices used in the dishes which only proves the food has been cooked to order and not rushed through the kitchen in five minute from placing your order .. I would make this your first choice Indian restaurant in Alnwick .. highly recommended .. Thanks for a great evening and the tips you gave us for exploring the surrounding area

We had a lovely meal here the staff were very helpful and friendly when it came time to go we asked for a taxi number, the manageress said that there was a one hour wait but was not a problem as she would ask her dad to take us where we were going to, which he did at no charge and thanked us for our costume. Thanks again Bay Leaf for a lovely night out.

food was absolutely delicious and authentic . I recommend to anyone looking for exquisite flavours from India. the place itself is rather relaxing and calm .

Came with a large party to dine inside. Had a great time and the food was amazing.

Poor service and quality,we were waiting ages on our food. When its arrived seems like it was reheated from somebodys else order.

First they delivered the order , then they checked back for it saying wrong order . Then they came back with the same order added a couple of items we had ordered and missed one complete meal of the order no naan bread. Cold as it had been back and forth and then they came back a 3rd time with the.missing curry which wasn't the one we had ordered anyway. Called them and asked for refund and to speak to the manager . And neither happened £86 this.meal cost . And it tasted awful as well

The food delicious, the service lovely. Such a good place. So warm and friendly.

Lovely staff, great service and well priced good food. Couldn’t fault it at all and would definitely recommend

We went for a Bank Holiday Monday, had a fantastic meal one of the best curry's I've had in England., price was good too, surprisingly quiet. I would go back

Great takeaway kurma & friendly service.

Delicious food and friendly, helpful staff. Can recommend.

After placing an order through Just Eat and paying for it I received a call 15 minutes later. It was to inform me the £3 delivery charge was actually going to be £10. The manager insisted the advert said £3 only to Alnwick, it does not, it says £3-£4.50 for catchment area. Only take always that have included me in their catchment area show up on just eat. So they cancelled my order and told me to get in touch with just eat if I wanted the money back. Food was pretty crap anyway but at least it used to deliver.

Fantastic service and great food

They have introduced a new card payment scheme were you are encouraged to leave a tip from 15 to 30 percent. "Please read the screen and make your choice before entering pin "

So very tasty, been here twice and both times the food has been consistently tasty. Highly recommended.

Lovely food, friendly staff & service was excellent, alround great evening. Recommended.

Special menu was excellent , defo be returning.

Once again food was amazing brilliant service nice and polite people we had take out this time and the food was the same quality as if we were eating in.🤤🇮🇳

Truly we really enjoy Bay Leaf whenever we get a chance to visit. The food is very very tasty. I love it when your mouth buzzes with the flavours of herbs and spices. Service excellent.

Delicious home style authentic curries and great service from friendly welcoming staff. Would definitely come again when staying around Alnwick.

Really cracking curry! Travelling from Edinburgh to York. Stopped for a curry and it was perfect. Lovely balanced flavours, perfect heat. The pilau rices and chapati’s are top notch. Service was with a smile and they were really accommodating. Will definitely visit again.

The order was 2 hours late. I rang Up 4 times and each time they lied and said it was with the driver eventually when it turned up it didn’t have the chips or poppadoms I ordered in so the driver said he would go back and get them only for him to turn 25 minutes later with the poppadoms and forgot the chips. I rang back up and the guy said he would he would refund me for the chips but didn’t

Booked a table for our night away in Alnwick. Was definitely a great choice. Very good social distancing practices followed. Food was amazing. Would highly recommend. If we are back in the area again we will definitely be back.

Nice welcome, staff couldn't do enough. Spotlessly clean. Good menu, brilliant food and drinks. Good price. Would definitely go back.

Ate at the Bay leaf Lounge last night. Outstanding food, wonderful service, lovely staff. Shame we are only visiting the area as we would definitely be regulars.

We eat a lot of currys ,but this was one of the best we have had ! Amazing food friendly staff and brilliant service, just wish they could deliver to Rotherham !! Would definitely eat here again

Takeaway, arrived quite promptly. Thought half a tandoori chicken would be safe but it turned out to be chicken pieces on the bone so not much meat, and what there was was inedible. The naan was OK but the salad wilted. Yuk.

Excellent, friendly service and fantastic food. Loved the chicken balti and the tarka daal. Will be back!

Best Indian we’ve ever had! Didn’t think anything could beat our local Indian but the food at bay leaf was amazing! Great prices, great service, clean and the food was fantastic.

We received a warm welcolme when we arrived. Very nice food and good service. Would go back if we lived nearer.

Absolutely Brilliant staff, couldn't do enough for their customers. One of the best vegetarian curries I've had and Chris loved his lamb curry. Excellent value for money. Highly recommend. Thanks for a lovely evening

Went here as a group of 8 for a meal last night, cannot fault the place. The staff we're absolutely lovely throughout and so professional. The food was delicious and reasonably priced, would definately recommend.

Absolutely fabulous food. Authentic. Give it a try. Service brilliant

Delicious food, staff were extremely polite and helpful. Would definitely recommend.

Visited last night the food was superb the best Indian food I’ve had for a long time. Staff friendly and very attentive had a great night thank you we will be back !

Staff were extremely friendly and attentive, great choice of food and food came out very quickly and piping hot! Would definitely visit again 😊

Got a take away. Very good choice (perhaps too many choices) and well presented. Ticked the box and fully filled 8 hungry adults. Thank you

Fabulous authentic Asian food.It is rare to find a restaurant that is authentic in its recipes and flavours but this place was fantastic. No yellow and pink pilau rice here, rice cooked in the traditional way with spices. The curries were lovely with large juicy chicken pieces and spice flavourings were bob on. We visit India regularly and were very pleased with the food.Staff were very attentive and friendly. We loved our meal here and if we are back in Alnwick we will definitely return.

The Bay Leaf very kindly fit us in at the last minute. They seated us more than two metres away from other diners. On that, I was impressed with the hand sanitiser and name list on arrival and that takeaways were dealt with at the front desk. We sat in and I had the king prawn masala chilli dish, it was luxurious. Husband had chicken korahi (I think) which he really enjoyed. Generous portions, staff couldn't do enough for us. Superb! Our new favourite in Alnwick - almost on the outskirts of the centre but bonus parking outside.

My husband and I thought the food was wonderful, best I've eaten in months. The staff were friendly and helpful. They asked if we wanted our food milder or more spicy. The chef came out at the end of the evening and asked how our meal was. I've never had this happen before. Covid protocol was good. Unfortunately I was on holiday otherwise I would be visiting this restaurant on a regular basis.

Superb food helpful and friendly staff

Just had our first Indian takeaway since lockdown and it was absolutely gorgeous! Lovely friendly staff, very polite. Clean and bright restaurant. Stunning food. Value for money. What more could you ask for?

Poor service had to wait far too long for food heard cooks arguing in the kitchen overall not good.

We visited last night in a catch up with friends, we drove from Sunderland and our table was booked for 8.30, from the outside it looks just like a take away but pleasantly surprised with how big it is inside. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. Due to how busy they were we didn’t get our starter until 9.40 but I must say the food was delicious and worth the wait.. we will be back again.. also managed to catch the eat out to help out offer but even without this the costs of the dishes are very reasonable..

Fantastic experience, staff were so friendly and attentive. Azzi and his sister were very welcoming and went the extra mile to make sure our trip was enjoyable and easy. Highly recommend!

Twenty of us visited for a large family dinner. We had booked ahead and pre-ordered a range of dishes. Staff were so friendly and super helpful. The food dishes kept coming & were all delicious. We all had a brilliant evening. Highly recommended!

Amazing food and service in a family run restaurant. Would totally recommend!

First time in Alnwick and booked a meal here friendly greeting from staff, very attentive, food delicious, hubby and I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone.
