BAYLEAF (Indian) Restaurant Livingston in West Lothian

Best Indian takeaway I had so far.

Ordered last night chiken kahari for me and my husband chicken pakaro and two chapatis food was lovely has always big portion of chicken pakora cant fault the food or portions.. best place to get a curry ..

We found this place a few weeks ago online and what a find!! I had the bayleaf mango chicken as a starter. They also do it as a main. I have thought of nothing else since!! Went back tonight and had probably the best veg pakora Iv ever had and the mango chicken as a main. It was unbelievable. The garlic chicken starter was ridiculously good too. We go to Edinburgh a lot for a lovely Indian in Corstorphine, but I can honestly say this place is just as good 30 minutes down the road.

First time ordering from here. The peshwari naan tasted strongly of soap and was completely inedible, coconut was either off or not stored correctly. Korma was like cream of vegetable soup, really unpleasant. The chips had a big black hair in them and had bits of salad and lemon stuck to them, presumably cross contamination from another meal. Sadly ended up really unwell for 48h after trying to eat this meal. Won’t be giving it a second chance, really expensive too.

Great tasting chicken tikka main meal, quality food,delivered hot of the grill, highly recommend

they did not give me the naan bread i ordered.

A very busy restaurant - no surprise - as the food was delicious and a very high standard. Very helpful attentive friendly staff.

Fantastic..really tasty.. highly recommend

Food is more sweet, instead of spicy as described

Fantastic restaurant, staff cannot do enough for you. Delicious food

Food was good again. never had a bad delivery yet.

Really disappointed - first time ordering after being recommended- some bits of chicken tasted over cooked, got a chicken pakora and it was like Goujon chicken in a soggy batter with a small pot of pakora sauce- unfortunately will not use again.

Very greasy , doughy nan bread . Soggy chicken pakora and veg pakora was tasteless grated potato with the odd pea . Chutney tray was straight from jars. Very disappointed as heard good things about this restaurant.

food was hot and fresh. tasted amazing too.

Amazing place,great food and the service excellent. It was lovely to have our dinner here and definitely will be back whenever we are around .

Food is amazing and service is excellent.

Lovely local Indian restaurant. Service courteous but discreet.. Superb food.

Best quality and service within 30 miles or more. Food is special. Staff not in your face but attend to the table with class. I won't use any other Indian restaurant now. Great atmosphere, great food and friendly warm welcome every visit. Super place with special food and great service.

We are regulars to this restaurant. Love the food, service and especially the staff. My favourite is the chicken tikka shashlik, very tasty. This is our favourite restaurant in West Lothian. Julie, John & Julie's mum 😄

Excellent food and service as always. Regular visitors and food is always freshly cooked and tastes amazing.

Always have a lovely meal at this restaurant. I visit it once a week and love it every time.

Always order from here, butter chicken is amazing.👍

I've been a regular customer of the Bay Leaf for around 12years. I am always amazed at how consistent the food is each time. We went for dinner tonight and, as usual, it was delicious. Feel very fortunate to have such a quality Indian restaurant nearby. I am not sure my waistline agrees, however

Lovely meal as always. Lamb Makhani was outstanding!

Foods amazing service was good also, we did feel the mains were all very similar but the starters are amazing

2 hours wait for an Indian you'd think they where bringing it from India shambles

Food was deliverd quickly, it was lovely and hot, enjoyed our meal.

Average,, chicken was good quality but spice blend wasn’t great and could taste pre bought condiments in the meal, bread was OK

Late delivery. Poor communication. 3rd time ever ordered. 3rd time we’ve had problems.

Food was good! Will ordered from here moving forward but think we will collect as delivery was a little longer. Apart from that was a good experience

another fantastic lamb vindaloo delivered with special rice nan and spicy onions. cannot recommend Bay leaf enough. always a pleasure to order. fantastic work bay leaf team.Broxrool.

The food was certainly not fresh, placed order for delivery at 19.40 and food arrived at 20.00, very watery, tasteless and just not very good, will not be ordering here again, don't waste ya money...

Great food delivered early can’t complain.

The best Indian takeaway I've had in a long time. Delicious.

excellent quality tasty food always hot. delicious 😋

Lovely curries , good food . Garlic Nan was very small though and not enough to share so this was disappointing

Great, it’s nice to get spoilt, when you order always from the same place.

Bay Leaf never disappoints. Food is always delicious & the service is always great. Highly recommend the mango chicken tikka starter.

Absolutely delicious!! The tandoori chicken and chicken tikka were amazing!! The Peshawari naan was amazing too! Will definitely re order again! 10/10!!

Ordering from here has always been good however having went to the restaurant today it was a completely different experience. The service was awful. Waiting half an hour to take orders, half an hour to forty five minutes between courses and a sneaky and expensive service charge added at the end was not what we expected. Food was barely warm when it arrived to the table. Thankfully it still had good flavours. Quite a disappointing experience.

Brilliant food and good service highly recommend.

Veg pakora very poor, extremely hard and swimming in oil… Curry, rice and bread excellent! Ps spicy onion recipe needs tweaked

Absolutely perfect my go to place for a curry 👍👍👍👍

The original order never turned up, so 30 minutes after the 'driver on the way' notification we had to phone, were told a replacement would be sent. When this turned up, the food was cold, hot sauce was included instead of mango chutney and a 330ml can of diet coke instead of a 1.25l bottle. Really unimpressed.

The best Indian restaurant ever tasted.

Amazing food, prompt delivery, very professional and friendly, will definitely be ordering again soon

Food was lovely and hot on delivery. Meals were delicious. Will definitely order again.

beautiful meal only complaint i ordered 2 garlic naan but only got onex

Probably the best Indian restaurant imo. Amazing!!!!!

Vegetable pakora was awful … hard to bite into, dry and didn’t taste fresh.

Yummy as always. We shared a chicken korma, coconut rice, garlic naan and chapatti. Mixed pakora to start with and the cheese and honey dessert. I was unsure what to make of the description initially for the dessert, but I thought we could try it, and it was delicious, the cheese is perfect with the honey. Ignore the description, as it sounds like it would be savoury, but in reality it was sweet and very moreish.

Very disappointed, whilst the product was good the temperature of the food was dreadful. All items had to be reheated in the microwave!! which was not ideal especially as we are advised not to reheat rice, chicken . Not what we expected from Bay Leaf bearing in mind cost of meal and Service Charge, the latter is a bit cheeky.

Delivery was quick. Food wasn’t the nicest, more spice than actual flavour and curry was very watery. Wouldn’t order again.

Positives: chicken was well cooked and tender. Chicken pakora, mushroom rice and garlic naan were perfect. Negatives: the kormas I like are pale yellow and bursting with butter and cream, this one was brown and tasted of lentil soup. Chips were not great. Delivery driver really friendly. Quick delivery even though weather was awful and its peak time. Not bad at all but probably wont order again due to the korma but if you dont order that then all good!

Ordered 3 different dishes, all of which were very tasty and plentiful. Only disappointment was the nan bread which was flat and overly doughy. Delivery took nearly an hour which was OK but hoped for quicker. Overall would order from them again as food was great.

Lovely food will definitely be ordering again!

delicious well worth the money

fabulous food. amazing flavours

Absolutely brilliant. Food was hot. Tasted amazing.

Delicious and fantastic as always! Without a doubt the best Indian in Livingston.

a great meal as well! even on Christmas Day, it was perfect :)

Ordered Christmas Eve for an early dinner at home. I normally use Zaika as I am new to the area, but had to make other arrangements - and I could not be more delighted! The food was authentic, flavoursome and we had the opportunity to try some unusual dishes that we have not seen before. We ordered a number of starter dishes and the chicken tikka was next level with a good amount of heat and charred edges. A special call out to the lamb chops which delivered on so many flavours and were cooked to perfection. My 8yr old son also gave the korma a huge thumbs up. Naans were thin and crispy edges, the rice fluffy and popadoms were an added treat with a selection of delicious sauces. The mains were spectacular from the seafood to the lamb which was tender and moorish. Praise all round from a diverse audience and we will be coming to visit very soon to enjoy your in-house hospitality.

Really tasty food. Gave me free spiced onions and extra poppadoms, which was really kind of them. I asked for lots of garlic butter on my naan bread and they did just that 👍

Meal Luke warm garlic Nan cold couldn’t tract delivery re time

First time ordering from here. and I'm happy with how the food was. curry was very nice. would order from here again.

korma and chasni were delicious naan breads plenty of, tasty meal ! arrived earlier than expected too.

Great food, so tasty and so hot and fresh when it arrived! Delivery took a bit longer but it was a Friday night so expected

excellent food, arrived on time. well labelled to tell which boxes were which.. will definitely order from Bay Leaf again

After years of being a faithful, happy customer I had an incredibly negative takeaway experience with The Bay Leaf in Pumpherston. The meal was cold and rubbery. It took the business around a week to offer me 50% off my next meal - no thanks!

Delivery was early and food was great, however they did not read delivery instructions. What is the point of putting deliver to back door if they don’t read it!

The food was real good I have order paratha and chana curry good taste and the paratha was amazing

Chasni was very sweet tasting and veg pakora was quite tasteless.

Love Indian, and maybe chose wrong meals to our taste, but both were not nice, went in the bucket. Back to reliable Aroma.

Absolutely incredible. Great food, quality, ingredients and lovely lady delivered. Will use again and again.

Food was very tasty, fresh and well cooked, will be going for a sit down meal soon.

Great food and service as always. Whenever we visit Livingston the Bayleaf is our go to restaurant.

So expensive and tase like a cheap Asda curry and asked if we would like chutney with our popadoms and charged us a fiver

Lovely lamb tikka masala, delivered earlier than expected

Super tasty and cooked on time.

First time ordering, food was delicious

Always a lovely night. Food is always delicious and if you want a dish hotter they will add more spice. Staff polite and helpful. No rush to vacate your table.

Lovely fresh food. Arrived really hot.

Fantastic food and great service

Always a great curry from the Bayleaf. Excellent!

Fantastic korma and the best garlic naan I’ve had

Butter chicken and rice was amazing

Phoned for home delivery they said 45mins had to phone a hour later asking where it was they said they would have a word to kitchen staff ??I told them I have already paid by card then they said it will be 10mins it was 20mins they gave us free poppadoms and chicken pakoras tasted like chicken nuggets and 2 sauces won't be ordering from there again

Great food and friendly staff. Always recommend to friends

The food is always delicious and fresh , they do a set menu for 2 that’s a great deal ! It’s not on the Just Eat menu . Highly recommend.

Took ma daughter in for a wee curry the night of her birthday,I had been told this place was good and now a confirm ,it was superb will be returning olso noticed they do take aways olso I can see the 15 minutes drive just to collect,lovely staff quality food.

i recieved a butter chicken tonight which tasted like heinz tomato soup which had been boiled until it was so concentrated it tasted bitter and so very very salty. absolutley horrible. the veg pakora also had a very salty after taste too. phoned resteraunt who tell me they have tasted sauce and it is fine. how? i ordered the same items last time and it was lovely. as usual just eat not contactable. ive sent a message but how do you photograph vile tasting food? not happy. ive just wasted £25.

Good food, as per usual, very good, good starters main taste was brilliant unfortunately lacking in meat in both dishes but will go again the bill reflected the meat and lack of which was a very generous gesture from the management.

Visited the Bay Leaf for the first time with my mum and dad, food was really good and service was great, I will definitely be back.

lovely food as always, arrived hot, lamb byriani was beautiful

Used to be one of the best Indian takeaways in Central Scotland but last one was very bad

This must be the best Indian restaurant in this area the staff are so polite and respectful the food is amazing and the portion sizes are great

Good food as always! Love Bayleaf

Ordered korma and vindaloo. Torn on this order as vindaloo was very nice, korma had no flavour and had to be replaced and sent back. Upset the whole meal.

1 time there, I enjoyed my meal, but my kids did not hit it off with their selection. But I would go back or will be back to try more on the menu.

Didn’t get my poppadom which I paid for, other than that, would use again
