Bayleaf Indian Takeaway in Epping Forest

Absolutely shocking orders delivery called after 1 hour told it was out in car rang back 30 minutes later told it was for collection absolutely disgusting why not call me as not picked up

lovely food and always hot good quality meat also .

Have used 3 times now. Great tasting food. Fast delivery.

What a treat. Full of flavour and plenty of it. Delicious !

Shocking ordered food that never turned up then when I rang the person I spoke to was very rude

Have used Bayleaf for well over 20years. Never fail to supply an amazing curry. Thank you

Ordered this via JustEat on New Year’s Day. Spent £53 on a takeaway and didn’t even receive it. Driver lied about even attending (even though we have CCTV all over the property) struggled to provide proof. Refused a refund even though we have said not received not even offered to give the order out or give us a new order after 2 hours ringing them. Claim they left by gate which was a lie when we checked also. I would avoid these massively terrible customer service too!!

They served grated cheddar cheese in their Saag paneer, my Mrs called up and they told her that is how they do it. Saag grated cheddar should of been on the menu, Apart from that the food was bang average Indian, can't complain nor dress it up.

Never disappoint,food amazing as always

5* lovely curry! Driver was great! Thank you

Absolutely amazing! Couldn’t fault even if I tried.

Amazing experience ordering from here, great delivery guy, food even came early which was a plus. would order from here again!

Food was lush. Just moved into the area so we thought let’s give our local Indian a try. Thumbs up guys, we will definitely be back.

We had a balti chicken curry tonight with a vegetable curry side dish and it was superb ... Keep up the good work folks 😁

Worst service missing food and didn't replace it and rude staff on the fone shouting at me saying the foods there when it wasn't don't eat at this place

Best curry in ongar, always tastes great. Delivery always quick

Wow just wow the food was really nice and the amount was just right

Missed off my drink. The food was really tastless and just not nice at all. The naans and the poppadoms were the best bit

Delivered early, which was great. Food was piping hot & full of flavour. Highly recommend

Excellent quality indian cuisine Very professional chefs Staff are very polite Never had a problem with this restaurant Very nice indeed

We received our food on time , but it was missing the 2 no mince sauces and the king prawn puree had no king prawns , far from satisfactory

Indian isn’t always my go to takeaway, but just fancied it tonight. Well! This was simply outstanding. I have never ever tasted Indian like it! I cannot recommend enough. Rather exceptional thank you and this will be my go to option now!SJx

Lovely food but mint sauce was spicy and supposed to be cool

Tried something new, as always it was amazing !! Just like the service 👍

Tasty, reliable, I use them time and time again. Friendly service collected or delivered

Excellent food as always, one of the best takeaways in Ongar. Cannot fault the quality of the food and the service.

Lovely food as always with a great delivery driver x

Worst takeaway !! Had some bad ones in my time but Jesus they defiantly won that one ! And overpriced

Best and tastest take away in ongar

Tasty dinner and delivered on time

I have been using bayleaf for over 10 years and sorry to say the fiod was awful. Watery and tasteless, i had to throw it in the bin £30 quid down the drain won't be using again.

Lovely, hot food. Quick and friendly service

Terrible all 5 of us had one mouth full of each meal and couldn’t eat anymore all had a very strange taste and not edible at all

I order a chicken curry and mushroom rice and it was tasteless really disappointing

Fabulsily hot, fresh and tasty food. The delivery man was incredibly polite and friendly. Our favourite Indian takeaway in the area!

Second time ordering from Bayleaf and both times had a really lovely meal that was fresh, driver really friendly when delivering also.

Our first takeaway from this restaurant and was impressed.Delivery was earlier than stated so a bonus. Food was excellent with no complaints.Thanks 👍

It’s like they have wizards working in their kitchen, making the best food the world had ever seen. You’ve spoilt all other Indian restaurants for me 🤣

Friendly delivery driver and delicious food - which arrived 10 mins earlier than estimated 👍👍

Amazing food every time , we order from them a lot and perfect every time

Excellent food, not greasy. Great menu.

As always food was high quality hot and on time delivered with a smile . Paul

Lovely food delivered quickly

Had lamb Biryan , Food wasn’t warm so had to warm it up in the microwave, no flavour! Very disappointed won’t be using again

Beautiful meal, all fresh and tasty

Bayleaf never let us down, always lovely food and even on large orders im sure nothing has ever been missed out.

Was lovely, came on time and staff was very polite! Definitely be back

Kashmir curry was disappointing. Had lychees that over powered the whole dish. Too creamy.

Perfect service and perfect food as always

Best Indian we have had for a long time, will be our local for sure, really tasty, still hot and quick delivery. 1st time ordered and was not diss appointed , great!

Great food! Definitely recommend

Delivered before the allotted time, piping hot & delicious

Nice food, just lacking in spice. Not heat, spice. Everything was a bit bland. Nice but bland.

Lovely food, never had a bad meal from Bayleaf

Your driver was quite rude said he knocked before and I didn’t answer, the delivery time was 20.15-2045 I was downstairs waiting at 8.15 I apologised and he proceeded to tell me I should be more alert..I was and shears am… he was early I didn’t hear that Simple. Great food as usual thank you.

Food is delicious, would recommend

Normally a better service from Bayleaf. Food was ok but a little cold due to delayed delivery put it down to a busy night and bad night in the kitchen.

The food was very average, I ordered the saag paneer & it was not paneer, it was just grated cheddar ! I am very disappointed with the food it was cold & tasteless.

Always lovely food and the gentlemen who deliver are always polite. Thank you

First time purchase food was absolutely great- it makes a change to get a vegetable biryani prepared/cooked excellent rather than just the left over veg with rice - Great food, great service and we know where to go again next time!. Thanks for a lovely meal we really enjoyed it

Hot, tasty & earlier than expected

Amazing Service! Amazing Food! Amazing Quality! 100% Recommend!

Food was cold by the time I received it

chips were not edable rock hard asif been fried to many times . tikka massala had no flavour and was runny with water/oil . onion bahji again fried to many times rock hard couldnt eat this extremly disapointed

We ordered the food around 6.30pm expecting the wait to be around 45 mins to an hour as its a Saturday night. After waiting ages I checked the status of my order and it said delivery between 7.40-8pm which would be over the hour so we waited but when I checked the status again at just gone 8pm it said my food had been delivered? 8.10pm I called the restaurant and they told me it was with their driver and no more than 5 minutes away but actually didn't turn up until 8.30pm and was pretty much cold so had to be put in the microwave! The food was really nice but to have to wait around 2 hours from point of order to delivery with no communication and then for the food to be cold and no offer of a discount or gesture like a bottle of wine or something is not really good customer service and pretty disappointing which is a shame because normally they are pretty good and the food is lovely.

Lovely food as always from Bayleaf, never disappoints

Very disappointed!!! Normally my favourite Indian take away. Food was about 45 minutes late and then the food was Luke warm (just about) and wasn’t enjoyable as it wasn’t hot. Really upset as had to call up twice and both times was told our food was five minutes away. As I said normally my fave take away but tonight it was a massive let down.

They gave me the chicken korma versus the butter chicken tikka I ordered.

Fantastic food, as always. Really fresh ingredients, well prepared. Saturday night, so very busy I'm sure. Delivery was about an hour from order, which was fine. Absolutely top notch! Thx.

Ordered here many times and never had a problem. This evening I ordered a larger order than normal. Many things was missing, not a problem I call the restaurant to get it sorted and the phone gets handed to the manager who is just rude. I wouldn't have left a bad review over missing food but for the way he spoke on the phone I will definitely not be ordering from here again. Who wants a curry with no rice or naan bread 🥴

The waiting times were quite long, but we knew the food was going to be good, and it was.

Food was OK just about still hot arrived 30 mins after my scheduled time.

The food was fantastic but a bit cold and far too late. Would order again, but be last time if its this late again.

100% in every way, lovely food and lovely staff.

The main dishes had a lip of something around the top as opened like That it had been microwaved ! And therefore I chucked away as not taking a chance with meat ! Very upset as I haven’t ordered from here for ages and obv it’s late and we were starving. ! ! I have taken pics before I threw to confirm this message ! So if needed pls ask ! Regards

Luke warm and very late not good when you have guests for dinner

Always good food and service from these guys!

Tasteless and watery normal very good

Will definately order from there again.

Just incredible! A few weeks ago I had an amazing Jalfrezi order with Bayleaf, it was so good that went back for more and decided to get a dish I'd never tried or heard of before and my trust wasn't misplaced - the Chicken Korahi is now my favourite Indian dish of all time and Bayleaf becoming the best Indian Restaurant I've ever ordered from outside of India. Cannot recommend enough, delivered on time, affordable, packed full of flavour and the Korahi is sweet, tomatoey, fruity and full of subtle spice. An absolute MUST TRY! Highly recommend this restaurant. Onion Bhajis and Naan bread are also perfect, big portions, proper chunks of chicken breast too!

Wow. First time using e . Best decision ever. Food was absolutely incredible. Arrived early, hot and exactly as ordered. As someone who’s been to India and also loves spice and fussy about flavour I can promise this was the real deal. Best Indian food I’ve had in years, jalfrezi was super spicy, fresh and huge chunks of chicken and zero greasiness, incredible cheesy naans, big portions. So so happy. Can’t recommend enough.

Food was on time but this the only positive I could find. -Asked for cheese naan but only got plain -Asked for poppadoms which never came -All lamb dishes tasted like cheap chewy meat and looked like blood clots something I wouldn’t want to put nowhere near my mouth. Very disappointed and unsatisfied with today’s order. We often order from here as we are locals, this one time due to the dissatisfaction we would like an explanation at the very least for today’s dismal order and experience.

Really nice, this was my first time and Lovely

Ordered 4 mint dips with meal to cool down hot food, all dips were wrong which ruined the meal. Onion Bahji's were good. Chicken rogan wasn't very tasty. Wouldn't recommend or use this Indian again.

We order from Bayleaf regularly and have never been disappointed. Always hot and very flavoursome. I'd even go as far as saying its the best Indian takeout I've had to date.

The food is always great. Nice people, prompt delivery.

Never disappoints! Best in the area by far.

Very nice food , friendly staff .Best Indian takeaway in Essex

Delicious and hot food, not greasy at all. I will definitely order from Bayleaf again.

Delivered earlier than expected. Piping hot & delicious as always

Love the Bayleaf. By far the best Indian takeaway around. Highly recommend

Food was so late I rang twice both times told he’s 10 mins away, 10 mins ended up being 30mins the man on the other end of the phone was so rude and told me he’s not in a rocket ship and it takes as long as it takes. He add leave a review plenty of others like us.

Food average-good. Not quite flavoursome enough - needs more spices.

Nice food but 2:15 minutes to receive food was poor

Have used Bayleaf for nearly 20 years and wouldn't go anywhere else 🙂

We always order from Bayleaf when we have a take away - great food and great service !

Good food, waited nearly an hour longer than they originally said for delivery and they got the order wrong

Tasty curries, Bombay potato a bit bland and tasteless. On the whole very enjoyable. No free popadom!!!!!

Reallly gutted as had take aways before and lovely. Food was an hour late and cold and missing something.

Gorgeous tasty food, exactly as expected. Slightly disappointed that no complimentary poppadoms were provided!!! I order quite often from Bayleaf, and the food is consistently good.
