BAYLEAF (Indian) Restaurant Livingston in West Lothian

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

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

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.

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.

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

We got three family meals vindaloo madras & korma I don't know what it was but was korma my daughterinlaw phoned got another curry.my madras was not atall spicy but I ate it cldnt be bothered with waiting.my sons vindaloo was perfect & nan breads.been getting takeaway from here for years but so let down paying all that money 😔.

The most disgusting korma I have ever tasted. Called the restaurant to give them the opportunity to deliver another meal or refund. They refused to do either. Save your money and go elsewhere.

Everything we ordered was good and nice ambience.

The best Indian restaurant in the neighbourhood. Fresh and delicious food, great service and good selection of dishes. Highly recommended!

always piping hot and tastes amazing😋 the best👌 by far

Visited here with family some of us had a la carte, some had buffet. The a la carte menu is excellent but there were some grumps & groans from some about the buffet. I was a chef a long time ago so from a professional viewpoint if a la carte is offered, take it! I will definitely visit again.

Food excellent & attentive staff

They call it Indian restaurant but staff is arrogant and not friendly to Indians… avoid at all cost

The staff were nice and friendly and the food was good

basmati rice over cooked, sticky clumps. have had much tastier tandoori chicken tikka, and order notes missed for a milder balti sauce. sauce was nice just a bit spicy. garlic naan good.

Thank you guys for replacing the meal. Thank you

Waited well over an hour for a delivery on Tuesday night. Call to ask about my order only to be talked down to on the phone telling me the driver has been out 3 times and called 3 times and left voicemail. I had been sat looking out of the window with my phone waiting on my £75 order. Then I was told make sure you answer your door!!! Over and over again. Absolutely disgusting the way I was spoken down to on the phone.

I went for a buffet dinner on Sunday. Food was authentic Indian food.

very yummy food and staff are very kind

Absolutely horrible saag alo, was loaded with potatoes and dried out completely, absolutely not worth £10, the veg pakora hard as a rock £6 for something we didnt even finish, was so dried and hard, barely any veggies in it. Food was called, poppadoms all crushed into pieces. So disappointed, especially because I ordered before and it was never this bad!

Lovely warm welcome and great Sunday buffet

Had a lovely dinner with my grandson there as a treat for my birthday.

My son’s dish never came in the order and had to end up cooking for him!

Food was lovely really great, collection time was set for 20 mins which was acceptable, however got an email after 5 mins to say it was ready, concerned then that my food was sitting in a hot cupboard too long before collection.

First time in this restaurant and all I can say is we will be back . Beautiful food

Good was early, hot and delicious. Highly recommend

Great food, reasonable price.. give it a try👍🏻

Phoned after nearly two hours to be told that the delivery drives had knocked twice and phoned me. No phone call though. When he eventually came back he phoned and said what number he was at as he didn’t know where our number was. But had apparently knocked twice? Not good service for spending over £50!!!

Some items were missing from the order and no point asking for them as you would get them an hour after you had eaten the stuff that been delivered. Should really get a Full refund when things like this happen..

Mega over priced for what it is, bog standard Indian food. I ordered an extra madras sauce and was charged £9! Will definitely be avoiding this place in the future!

We get a delivery from here at least once a month. It's always fresh, always hot, always on time and always delicious!!!

Hi, Last Saturday(17-feb-24), I was ordered murag punjabi handi and take collection option by myself, I feel the quality wise food was good only the problem that when I eaten got one Lamb piece in chicken handi it was really surprising me. Rest all are good for me, like packaging and delivery time. Thanks

Excellent food and service. Very popular restaurant 👌

Lovely tasty food, well presented and clients very well looked after.

Ordered at 7.20 delivered at 7.40, food cold and rubbery, never again

Used to be a favorite place, gone downhill ..food so bad, pakora are rotten. Doughy horrible things..we made the mistake of going one Sunday not knowing it was a buffet night. Ordered from the menu, server was so rude as he couldn't be bothered. Plus the clientele that were in that night looked like junkies, jail bait and all manner of misfits. Wont go back EVER.

When drinks are overpriced, you expect them to arrive when you pay for them.

Amazing place to dine out. Iam usually sceptical about buffets but as always hot and fresh. Service was really good too. Go regular. Prices reasonbe

Always unreal food never disappointed

Very fast delivery. The issue we had was our Tikka Masala and butter chicken were very spicy! we love our spice and expected some spice from these dishes however this was unedible in the end. Just eat said we would get free pakora for spending more than £30 and everytime we said yes to it just eat would try charging us. must be a problem on just eat for that.

Perfect as always! Food arrived hot, and was absolutely delicious. Best Indian in West Lothian!

Best Indian around. Simple as that.

It was absolutely exceptional we ordered here last night. The order came quite quickly as they said it would. When the order arrived, everything was there and tasted amazing. Everything we ordered was 10/10. It's easily the best Indian food we've had in a long time. We are definitely going back soon. Highly highly recommend this restaurant.

I tried to provide direct feedback to the restaurant before writing a Google review - no response. I felt that the meal wasn't as good as usual and felt unwell during the night and the next day. I know how serious the Bayleaf prides itself on the quality of food and have been impressed before. Unfortunately, poor customer service and mediocre food this time left me feeling very disappointed and doubt I would return.

Nice location. Romantic and good for couples. It's still good for a bigger crowd as well. It was refurbished and looked very stylish, in the same moment not very "Indian." At least no elefants or I just missed them?

Got a takeaway order. So disappointed. 1st order arrived, ordered 3 papadums, they were all crushed to small bits, The pakora was solid, couldn't bite into them. Called up and they offered to swap the meal, packed it all back up and waited on the 2nd delivery. Still am unsure as to what arrived that was meant to be pakora, never had anything like it. Naan bread was just cooked and no more, no tasty tandoori toasted bread.

The onion bhaji was good however the madras was ridiculously oily and salty and nowhere near spicy enough. I've never had a madras that's tasted this way before. Really disappointed. I even had someone else taste it to confirm and they agreed it just tasted like salt. Nothing else.

Food was grade a delivery time grade c

Absolutely beautiful food always

Went for something to eat nice place staff friendly and helpful. The food was good too, I will be back.

Absolutely Superb, again! Delicious Shakuti Chicken and Mango Chicken Tikka. Oh my goodness 🤩👏

Best Indian in West Lothian- food is always delicious and worth the wait (it does take a wee while)

Another superb curry, never disappointed with bay leaf

Food arrived hot and was absolutely delicious as normal! Without a doubt Bayleaf is the best Indian in Livingston. Perfect every time👍

As usual delivered early and proper quality food as well never ever had a problem with this takeaway recommend it 10/10

As usual the food was delicious

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. I have never experienced this poor a level of customer service. I shall never be a customer of theirs again.

Absolutely delicious. Would recommend the Chicken Shakuti, we'll definitely be getting that again. Order was a little late, but worth the wait.

Butter chicken and lamb bhindi gosht were very nice!

Had an excellent meal here last week. First time we've been, but would certainly recommend it. Service excellent, menu extensive and quality of food outstanding. 👌

Very pleasant staff and good variety of curry dishes...

We had Lamb Korma absolutely delicious ❤️

My first order arrive nice and hot all delish except peshwari nan didn't have a lot of taste and was very dry. Apart from that I'd order again thanks

Was a very good takeout but the spicy onions was very small- not an issue just something we noticed. Overall very good

Best takeaway indian restaurant in the area. Always get the same dish. Lamb rogan josh with egg fried rice. Rice is a game changer and what they recommended. Nice staff too. They are very welcoming.

I used to come here but found a Indian restaurant that done a set deal for half the price however thought I would come back here for a change as price used to be wort itI collected my order and the drive home was less than 5 mins , i plated all the food out together and it was all luke warm!! The pakoras were rock hard! Paid over £45. This used to be a brilliant restaurant so disappointed. I hate giving bad reviews because I know it’s a hard working business but really had to leave this review!

Ordered the prawn curry but I wasn’t keen on the prawns, I felt they were over cooked and tasted rubbery which put me off, also sauce was a bit too runny for me. I will go back to my usual place which is The Dine in Broxburn.

A very disappointing Chicken Korma. Just a box filled with sauce and some what looked like boiled and very rubbery chicken pieces.

This is truly the best Indian food I've ever had both at the restaurant and home delivery, we use quite often, have tried others with huge disappointment. Once you try you wont go anywhere else, perfect.

Ordered a takeaway was told it would take between 45mins - 1 hour. It actually took 1 1/2 hours and when I phoned to complain I was shrugged off by the female staff member also the popadoms were just a bag of crumbs because the driver obviously didn’t take care of the order. Won’t be ordering again.

Excellent food. Great service. Highly recommended

Never knew about this place until today. Food is very nice and staff are extremely friendly and accommodating.

Excellent delivery service, super fast and friendly driver. Food rather disappointing though. Chicken was somewhat chewy and had taken on no flavour at all from the korma, suspect it had just been added before delivery, korma very watery. Spicy onions were not edible, no flavour at all, just spicy. Initially I was disappointed at the small tub, but when I tasted them I was grateful not to be wasting too much food when I didn't eat it.

Top rated for a reason. Everything was delicious, made fresh and not from a packet. We had the Sunday buffet, highly recommended.

Really good portion sizes,, good quality,piping hot,we had 3 different meals and were very happy with all of them. I would use them again and also be happy to recommend them

Nice pleasant restaurant and food was very good,albeit we did not get drinks that we ordered.

Fantastic food! Can’t fault it at all

Best indian restaurant i have gone so far, enjoyed the food and service.

Was cold ,chips and naan soggy

Always a pleasure ordering from Bay Leaf amazing food every time thank you Bay Leaf team.and delivery drivers.

Made a reservation and on entering were told to sit wherever? Customer service very poor and when ordering food got the order wrong! Starters were anaemic in colour both fish pakora and chicken pakora. Korma was bland and diluted (watery) . Ordered korma without chicken (came with processed thick tough dry chicken). Rice was congealed (lumpy). Overall customer service poor and food not so good! Very disappointing!

Very good again although korma sauce was quite runny and not as thick as with previous meals.

53 quid for 2 mediocre curry’s. Never again!!!
