Bayleaf in Basildon

The best curry I’ve had for a long time. Can’t fault it! We ordered for it to be delivered later and it came exactly to the minute that we had requested. We will definitely be ordering from here again.

Outstanding as always, thank you. Mushroom Bhaji was absolutely gorgeous. 10/10

Use Bayleaf all the time and have always been 100% happy with food and punctuality. last night's order was well short of the usual high standard. Had Lamb Rogan and it was anaemic, watery and tasteless. Usually they are on the spicier end of the scale, but not this time. Maybe a one off bad day and I will go back because of past excellence experiences. let's hope it was just a one off, as they are my favourite take away in the area.

Have ordered a few times from here. Very large portions of prawns/chicken/lamb each time and extremely tasty food. I always collect and food has always been ready on time. Would definitely recommend.

I have recently started using this restaurant after trying so many in the area and being disappointed. Absolutely gorgeous food, our new go to for Indian food. Thank you!

Yet another great meal from the Bay leaf Highly recommend. Our go to Indian takeaway

Wow what a curry that was tonight!! Bayleaf is always our go to. Tonight was especially good! Thank you

Allways a lovely hot & tasty curry great little Indian takeaway : )

First time ordering and the food was amazing 👏 and early delivery 😋

Always good food and portions. Love their Dansak

Food was great as always, order was earlier than stated which is always a plus. Spicier dishes have defo got more of a kick than usual from here, but I like spicy so that’s good for me!

Just the usual high standard we have become used to with Bay Leaf over the years

Ordered dinner half missing driver said he would go back and get it never come back phoned them refuse to bring rest of order out absolutely disgusting

Always ordered from here never any issues 5 stars

This was the best Indian I’ve had in a very long time. I won’t be going any where else now. Delicious, quality ingredients and arrived piping hot.

Was really gutted with the food from here, I love trying new places as we’ve just moved but I had to drain each dish to get rid of the oil sat on top, all seemed bland and the onion bahjis were rock hard just pure oil right through to the Center. I wouldn’t order again unfortunatly 😢

Probs the best Indian ive had in a very long time.

Everything we ordered was delicious

My food was delicious and I would not hesitate to order from The Bayleaf again.

Always enjoyed the food from here. Recommend !

Best Indian food, bombay potato is best in town, prices very reasonable compared to others. Thank you x

Absolutely fantastic. Full of flavour, lovely and hot, will definitely be ordering from Bay leaf again 👏

Unfortunately this was the worst Indian takeaway that we ever had. We have ordered from Bayleaf before without any problems but tonight’s order no good. Only lukewarm but worst was 2 of 4 dishes were tasteless which is the last thing you expect from this cuisine. Bad day kitchen, really hope this was a one off !

Best Indian takeaway in Billericay - great quality food. I always collect, so time it right and the food is warm

Food delivered early just eat app didn’t keep us informed of delivery time

Great food - delivered on time and nice and hot. Thank you

Top quality family run restaurant

Would definitely recommend the chicken tikka dansak plenty of big chunks of chicken. Food was delicious 😋

All good. Although they delivered a garlic naan instead of the peshwari naan that I ordered.

Always amazing food and service - by far the best Indian in Billericay

Forgot our onion barghi:( this seems to happen a lot a product seems to be forgot most the time. The naan bread was nice but dry did not seem fresh. The food was not pipping hot it was Luke warm meaning I had to warm it up myself this is a shame as we only live less than 10 minutes from the restaurant, must have been one of the last drop offs.

Have used The Bayleaf many times. They forgot items last time, but thought i’d give them another chance. This time I Ordered online. They Cancelled the order after an hour for no apparent reason. Will never use them again.

Ordered twice in error and been charged for both. Restaurant was informed and meal was NOT prepped twice. I want my money back Just Eat.

Food 30 minutes late and was missing a naan bread!!

Really late order, cold food, told the driver was nightmare, but that’s no help to me.

Delicious food 😋 good sized portions. Chicken Tikka Dansak was nice and spicy just how I like it

Unfortunately I won’t be using them again. The food is nice but they always forget something. Literally every single time I order from them they forget something. Tonight was not exception, and when I called them they were too busy to drop it off. I wouldn’t normally mind, and if it was once or twice I’d forget about it, but it’s every single time

Terrible. Always forget stuff, and apparently they’re always too busy to deliver what they have forgotten. They do it to me every time! I could probably have a meal for 4 with all the stuff they have forgotten

Excellent as always. Thank you bayleaf

Normally a really nice place to order from. Unfortunately arrived half hour late and was cold. Had to microwave it to make it edible. Unfortunately other items had to be binned due to them being soggy Have requested a refund

Food arrived hot, tasty and with coriander leaf removed as requested. Will order again, thank you.

Food is always good but today it was even better😁

Really enjoyed it. On time. Would order again.

Have had food from them for many years, but the last 4 meals have been very disappointing, I suspect there has been a change of chef. After the 3rd sub par meal I gave them a break, but went back a Cople of months later, and was very disappointed. Sorry bayleaf, I'm done :(

Used Bayleaf quite a few times in the past but this might be the last. The food was so bland I cook the same thing myself! Not sure what's happened but rubbish compared to before

Food is always hot, well packed and very tasty. The extra popadoms, dip and salad were unexpected but great additions. Will order again for sure.

Shocking, the food was greasy, the packet with onion bhajis were leaking in the bag from oil. The rice as greasy. We ordered lamb Bhuna, the lamb was tough, you couldn’t even chew it. Very disappointed with the food, expecting a full refund because it was not eatable.

Tried this restaurant and now the only place we order from

Great food, reliable delivery 👍🏻

Food was cold when delivered, which is a shame as has always been great food and never had a problem like this before

First time ordering an Indian since we’ve moved to the area and were looking forward to trying this one given the huge amounts of 5-6* reviews but we were quite disappointed. We got the set meal for 2 and then a few extra sides and it was all very bland. The curries (CTM and Lamb Bhuna) were nice but not even a hint of heat, and the rest was just a bit tasteless. Nothing wrong with it, but wouldn’t order again. They also forgot the onion Bhajis from the order.

Keema meat tasted off, bone in the chicken tikka, stuffed paratha also pretty bad. Food used to be really good here.

Great food, the best I have tasted for years

Food tasted incredibly fresh, delivery was on time and very polite would definitely order this again, best Indian I’ve had in a long time

Filled a hole but every dish was bland. A real shame as this used to be the 'go-to' takeaway.

Regular to Bayleaf and normally very happy, however I placed an order this evening and was very disappointed - most ended up in the bin. Naan very oily and cold, rice and paneer tikka hard and cold. I understand not was late on a Monday night and they wanted to close up but I still expect quality food. I expect this is a ‘one off’ as mentioned the food is normally great!

Ordered on the website and went to collect and they hadn't turned their computer on so only turned it on when I arrived and the order then was processed so had to wait an extra 30 mins. No apology, nothing. Then ordered 2 peshwari naans and didn't have any coconut in them at all. Also found a delightful piece of string I our chicken tikka masala. Don't think I'll be ordering from here again.

The food was fantastic quality, huge pieces of meat, very well seasoned excellent portion size and very reasonable prices, my only problem was I dropped some on my best trousers haha I would definitely recommend it to anybody looking for a tasty curry!

I have been ordering from here for years- always consistent- fantastic food and service

The usual high standards we always get from here.

Normally my go to curry house but sadly very disappointed. Only one mint sauce normally get two, one just not enough. Sheek was very underwhelming, almost anaemic and burnt. No salad. Shame as usually very good.

Food was late and luke warm tonight most disappointed.

Very good food and prompt delivery.

Food was 30mins late and was fairly cold? We order from Bayleaf regularly and never has the food been late or cold.. always hot.... food was still good tho

Food tasted lovely but I had a couple of chicken bones in my butter chicken curry, never had that before in my life. Was quite concerning

40 minutes late, food not hot, I was told the order "just left" at 19:00. It was a further half an hour from that point I received my warm order.

Quality of food was really nice and delivered to us before schedule!

I ordered a chicken tikka masala I did not receive this. I’m not sure what it was that I got but was totally bland and not edible went straight in bin. Shame as normally pleased with food from here

We are vegetarians - so we got veg korma, garlic naan, paneer tikka and aloo gobi and I don’t remember last time I had such a good food!! Recommend !!

Amazing food and stupidly quick delivery

Very nice food, delivered spot on when they said it would be. Would order again

Amazing food will order from here again

Lovely food so we forgive it being late. Good always very hot when arrived & delicious

Food was hot and very delicious, will certainly order again

Arrived earlier than expected and piping hot.

Food was very tasty, but did arrive late and cold.

Spent £55 and only 2 ‘free’ popadom

Was first ever order. Ordered at 19:13 arrived at 20:50 when was meant to be delivered 20:00-20:20. Food was cold which isn’t a surprise given it was late and tasted stale. A lot of grease. Very disappointed and won’t be ordering again

Another great curry from Bayleaf!

The food was incredible! So tasty and good. It came a bit late because it was a busy day for them but the food was still hot! We will order again. Thank you

So late. Ordered about 1845 estimated 19.25 to 19.45 arrived 20 .15 cold. Not good

Great food…Will never order from another Indian again.

Food is always great- tasted different- was only warm though not hot

Food had leaked everywhere in the bag when it arrived and was very oily this time. In the past I have always enjoyed the food from here but after the last one I won’t be rushing back.

We can be sure that when we order from the bay leaf that we won’t be disappointed! Consistently great and has always been piping hot on arrival. Thanks

Delicious and fresh. Thank you for a lovely dinner

Food was really tasty. Best Indian we’ve had for a while. We will order again, thank you.

Excellent. Food very good. Recommended

Amazing as always. Best Indian

Delicious food, delivered early. Great job

Very disappointed, food tasted weird

Food was good . Tasted lovely and hot . Would def recommend

Never disappoints. So delicious! Highly recommended.

I ordered from Bayleaf some meat samosas, lamb biryani and popadoms with mango chutney on the side. The samosas were alright, nothing amazing but the biryani was bland and tasteless and the lamb was very dry and did not seem fresh. Popadom was alright. Would not recommend it and won’t be ordering from here again, don’t understand the high rating it has achieved. Delivery time was as expected and I can’t comment on the restaurant service so only awarded 3/6 stars.

I called the shop few times someone hang up, at last one gentleman picked up and said driver is leaving and I'm still waiting :(

Lovely food but there was hardly any meat in the curry..... spended £40+ on a meal with more sauce than meat :(

So far 15 minutes late and restaurant won’t ring the driver. I ordered at 6pm to be delivered at 8pm

Delicious. Good sized portions. Very tasty. Will definitely order again.

Had the achari chicken bhuna tonight, first time ever, and it was delicious... Never had a bad meal from bayleaf. Ty x

Always enjoy the food, great taste, always hot,
