Ordered a takeaway at 5.32pm for home delivery and told 20-30 mins. Fine. . Chased (6.55pm )90 mins later and told he’s leaving in 5! Called again at 7.35pm to be told he was in little Dunmw and 2 minutes away. Called again (7.53pm) and told oh we have wrong address and oh you wanted to collect. Which is it? Appalling service and an extremely rude manager who thinks he is right because “I own the takeaway”. Well….we will be taking our custom elsewhere! …..AVOID.

Just had a delicious takeaway. The food was so fresh and piping hot on arrival. Each dish had unique tastes and were cooked skillfully- as unfortunately so many restaurants these days cook dishes that all all taste the same. The staff are also very polite. Best takeaway in dunmow for us!

I ordered from here once for a change and didn't like it at all. I had to wait in the lobby for a few minutes as there was no one present. Curry was bland and watery.

Edited. 2/3/24 Thought we’d give it another try as thought you may have been an off night. Sadly, we definitely won’t be using the Bayleaf again. bland curries, containers half empty and a 2 hour wait. I’ll be collecting from Pride of Sylhet in future. Normally our go to takeaway, but recently, and especially last night (30/12/23)the food has been bland and watery. Wrong items sent and over 2 hours for delivery when told only a hour. Shame food is going down as we use them weekly and they’re convenient with their delivery. Would seriously consider ordering again.

Food was nice enough but they sent us a couple of wrong items, which was go getters' error, not theirs. However they admitted that they forgot to send out the onion bahjis and wouldn't do anything about it. Customer service could have been better.

Went back after moving away .not as good food anymore.disapointing .hardly any chicken for my tikka Madras. Tarka Dal was more like soup . And food was 5 pounds increase from last visit. While chicken was 5 small pieces and tarka Dal like water .to be honest I'd be happy to pay more for really special meal. There was no fresh tomatoes in sauce or coriander garnish like the good old bayleaf days .and you use to get free salad and raitha .😔 I reccomend the owner tries a Aldi gastro pub or extra special range jalfrezi. Its £3.95 .so much chicken and fresh tomatoes and coriander on top. It's to die for .I'd never believe a supermarket curry would Beat a curry house !

I felt the need to write a review, so everyone knows how good the cuisine is. I have lived in Dunmow for six years now and get a delivery from the Bayleaf once a week. We have never had a bad experience. The food is delicious. Sometimes I have to wait up to 1 hour, but it is so worth it. I have tried other local Indian restaurants, some not bad, but none as tasty. Thank you Bayleaf for keeping up the standard and service!!

This food was absolutely superb. I usually always go for a Chicken vindaloo when I have an Indian but decided to try something different. We ordered as a group at work and oh my. I had the Jalfrezi and chicken tikka biryani and some onion bhaji. Every thing was so delicious and we will definitely be ordering again. Can I just say, the naan bread as well was so succulent.

Food is ok but they are sneaky with money I have used for a while and had to pay by card once. They charged me £2 to use my debit card and increased the meals so cost me another £7 I questioned it and was told prices have gone up... requested a new menu with my food and didn’t. Decided to order again the following week and surprise surprise price was back to normal as paying my cash and they gave me a menu that time and was the same, so they completely lied to me.

Started using Bayleaf as I was working in the area. It has now become mine (and my colleague's) takeaway of choice whenever we are here. The food is excellent, good value and fresh. The service is superb (and friendly) and, as I've spent the last ten days in self isolation with Coronavirus at a local hotel, they have been an absolute life line with hot food (otherwise I'd have been living on bread and butter. Seriously). Very highly recommended.

Don’t bother ordering from here. Food is fine but delivery terrible. Quite often well over 1 hour and sometimes nearer 2 hours late on delivery. They should not take orders they cannot fulfil.

We ordered a delivery at 6:20 and arrived at quarter to 9. I understand they were busy, however after Calling to see where our order was, we were told 10 minutes. 30 minutes later and still nothing so we called again, where they told the driver has just left. Once our order finally arrived it was cold and we didn’t enjoy it at all. A real shame as I have enjoyed many great meals here, and normal delivery times. Definitely think it will be ordering my Indian delivery from somewhere else now.

I have used this curry take away on and off for about 15 years, usually its good not great but good. My son and I had Chicken Tikka Masala, Pilau Rice and a Keema nan each. The chicken portion was tiny 80% sauce and 6 small pieces of chicken tikka, rice was watery? Once rice and curry were combined there was a clear liquid which kept seeping through, which has never happened before. The keema nans were both raw the bread was not cooked. We ate what we could but overall it was tasteless and nasty. It was cheep at just £21.60 for both meals, but it was a awful and thoroughly unenjoyable. I will never go here again. I have never experienced a curry so bad. I'm so sorry as I've used it many many times before. As I say in the headline, what has happened!

We have been very pleased with the service and food in past, but tonight we have been discouraged to go back. After ordering a takeaway we waited 40 mins for the deliver and when we called back we were told we would have to wait a further 1.5hours. The individual who i spoke with was rude and aggressive and rather than being helpful he would prefer to cancel the order. is this a service one would expect? I am disappointed with the service and will not be going back.

I have ordered from here many times and not had any issues, but I ordered tonight and some of my order was missing and when I was half way through eating my chicken curry I crunched on a bone. We were told to call them when the second half of our delivery turned up but got no answer after 4 tries. So my other half when down there, to see that he was sitting chatting on his mobile phone, the young guy that delivered our food came out and said that she had been trying to get through and he had told them she was going to call, with that he then replied, “I know I have been ignoring her call” and then he said that “chicken comes with bones and to get over it” he offered another dish and she asked for a refund because it put me off, he slammed £5 on the counter and said that’s all you can have, she asked for the full amount back for the tikka and he them slammed £2 on the count and told her to leave. For a place we thought were so friendly before, we will NEVER be going back there! Very rude and disgusted the way he spoke to a lady. Please avoid

We always collect our food from Bayleaf. The place is nothing glamorous to look at, but the lovely food speaks for itself! We've ordered a variety of dishes from here and it's always been very good. If I'm being picky the garlic naan could be a bit more garlic-y. Would highly recommend! 👍

Have used Bayleaf for a long time and the food is always good... however... delivery service on a Saturday is awful. The last two times we’ve ordered on a Saturday we’ve been told it will be about an hour and it’s actually taken two and half hours!! Even when chasing the order I’ve been told it will be 15 mins, but it doesn’t turn up for another hour plus!! If you have guests and hungry children it’s a really embarrassing situation.

Can never remember my drinks with my order, I like to drink with my food not half hour to hour later. Food was nice the first couple of times but this evening was terrible, swimming in water and a very questionable saag aloo which I'm pretty sure is meant to be cheese but I could not see or taste any. Phoned up to see if the head chef has been changed and was met with rude abrupt staff. I said you've lost a customer here to which the response was laughing and boasting "how we make customers and don't lose" well my money will be spent elsewhere even if I have to drive out and get it. Will never use again.
