Bayleaf Restaurant in West Oxfordshire - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Easy ordering process and fast delivery. Always delicious food and generous portions from The Bayleaf.

The food tasted a little off. Popadoms were a littl soggy. No pickle, but loads of mint sauce?

better than any other local Indian we’ve had.

Come here occasionally and the experience is nearly always a good one. The food was good. Nicely spiced and portions were good. Service was excellent, very friendly and welcoming.

Although slightly late delivery it wasn't an issue. Food was hot and very good.

We ordered a chicken pasanda and a korma both were tasteless and very watery the pasanda had 3 pieces of chicken in it the rice and nann bread were all cold, not a nice experience.

Very disappointed..chicken ok but just two bits in box full of bland sauce Probably the worst takeaway we've ever had..

We ordered lamb makhani, a paneer curry and some other dishes. Totally lacking in flavour and taste and very disappointing. The makhani was certainly not a makhani, much more like korma. Too sweet and a poor experience.

As a regular customer delivery time & food quality is always excellent but today I didn’t enjoy my curry, the king prawns were so chewy and had no taste, the peppers tasted watery and I left all of my meal unfortunately.

really disappointed with this one, ordered many times before and was lovely but this time wasn't right. Tikka masala was packed with loads of coconut and spoiled the taste and texture. hopefully it was a one off

Have ordered from here many times but on this occasion it was not as tasty as before, sauce seemed a bit watery and lacking ingredients. Nan was a bit burnt.

First time from the Bayleaf, excellent foord

Very polite delivery man, arrived on time. Unfortunately on the colder side of warm & naan burnt & missing the some bits due to this. Usually much better than this evenings.

Excellent quality and food tasted fab - highly recc

Excellent food, as always, from The Bayleaf, quick and efficient ordering process through Just Eat.

tiny portions, 5 little bits of chicken swimming in a big box of sauce. very tasty but very mean with the meat.

delicious food. super quick delivery, friendly driver. would definitely order again.

Only 4 pieces of meat per curry and full of very bland sauce.

That was by far the worst meal we have ever had from you. Not sure we’ll ever order again. I’ll check with friends for their opinion.

Fantastic delivery. Very friendly. Food was delicious and hot.

Always nice food and good delivery

The food was good - unfriendly service and asked to move to another room to wait for the taxi despite the restaurant being empty - improve your customer service please.......

The Bayleaf is consistently excellent, always a treat to have their delicious food.

Very friendly delivery driver, the food was perfect. Definitely one of the best Indian takeaways around

It’s going to say I have 3 stars. I didn’t. I gave delivery 3 stars. I give the food 1 star…. I ordered here a few months back and was disappointed then. I gave it another shot thinking it might have been an off night. Nope, still bad. Such a shame as I used to love this place but the quality has gone to pot. My chicken Tikka “sauce” was abysmal… both times has been basically WATER! It’s SO WATERY!!!! Used to be so thick & tasteful. It’s now just water and doesn’t taste of anything!!!!

Best curry ever!! Excellent delivery, excellent food…love it

Excellent as always from the Bayleaf!

Great delivery and friendly chap. Food was awesome! I’ll be back. Thank you :)

Second time we have ordered. Very, very good quality.

Driver was very rude and I could count the amount of chicken pieces I had on one hand. A real shame as usually it’s so lovely.

10/10 as usual! Couldn’t fault anything!

Food not very hot, lukewarm. It was an early order 6.00 p.m. so shouldn't have been sitting around. First time we've been disappointed with Bayleaf.

This restaurant is a really nice restaurant that serves great Indian food. It has a great buffet on a Sunday where you can try out a range of different curries and lots of other different Indian food to try. They also have a set menu for the rest of the week when you can get an Indian meal. The only reason why I am giving 4 stars and not 5 is because one of the staff was not very friendly, which was annoying as we enjoyed the rest of the meal so much. Overall though, this is a really nice Indian restaurant where you can get a range of different Indian food.

First time. Won’t be last. Excellent

Naan was missed off the delivery. Very annoying. Probably won’t get a refund either.

Ordered to the wrong place some glitch in your system nothing to do with the bayleaf

The tikka main was not good, burnt chicken and old reheated lamb. How do I request a refund?

Disappointing. We tried this place since our favourite Habib's kitchen closed and it was very expensive and the quality was poor. The tastes were not authentic and the sauces were watery. Not going to order again.

Food so bland. No flavour at all

most bland food ever tasted in my life. All good well (texture) no flavour at all. waste of money would not recommend

Lovely food as usual! No complaints here.

Very very poor Balti. This is not cooked in the traditional way. Which was confirmed by the restaurant when questioning the taste. It tasted heavily of Garam Masala and the customer service wasn't much better. I wouldn't order from here again. If your a traditional balti lover then I wouldn't recommend.

We have been using the bayleaf for several years now and i have to say the last few times we have had food from there, it has been disappointing. Very bland and tasteless. Especially as it's not cheap.

The delivery driver was so nice and friendly and the food came early and was lovely as usual. Woukd really recommend

The food was delicious , definitely would order from again .

Excellent delivery service with a smile, beautiful food!

Went one evening with family for a sit down meal , got greeted by 3 member of staff at the door , one whom was ready to seat us , one member of staff or glared at us disgustingly. Lived in this village for over 50 years and never got treated and looked down upon... probably not as upper class at they wanted, but they shouldn't be too fussy after only having one table sat down! After asking the guy if he was feeling OK due to his glares,words and manners we left and ate at ready steady spice in the village. Must yummiest food and even though we spent a lot was still cheaper than here, whom staff and mannerisms were delightful! Would never come back here, think management unless they were need to reconsider there customer skills- vile attitude ....

super happy with my order :) food was amazing and early, i was starving so was very happy with this! will definitely be ordering again, thank you! :)

Lovely food. Excellent service. Well worth the money.

Fantastic food! Delivered early, very polite, great service all round. Will definitely be ordering again!

food arrived nice and quick but the food was terrible. the rice was soggy and not cooked properly and the chicken appeared to be slightly pink and not properly cooked.

Really lovely food and prompt delivery - highly recommended!

3 prawns in a king prawn tikka masala for £15 is poor. Also a burnt spicy popadom is not really good enough when you only order 1!

Really yummy food, delivered and hot and punctually.

I turned up in my horse stuff. As I’d just been on the yard. Front of house looked me up and down several times, making me feel uncomfortable 😳

Should’ve been free for how late it was

Wonderful food and prompt delivery. Definitely recommend.

Always use Bayleaf for a delicious takeaway.

Lovely food as always, but we ordered 2 starters and there were no salad bags ☹️ which I'm a sucker for and love much to my husband's disappointed of curry and salad. Everything else is amazing as usual.

Good food and service. Thank you.

Good quality food, fast delivery, friendly staff. Only thing I’m a little disappointed in tonight is they put in 5 tiny pieces of chicken in my chicken tikka meal. Usually they are very generous with the chicken, this time I was shocked. Chicken was gone so so quick. Maybe more chicken next time please. Thank you

High prices, small portions, awful quality. Got to be the blandest Indian cuisine I’ve ever tasted. Severely overpriced.

Really lovely food. The peshwari naan wasn’t as sweet as it usually is but everything else was very tasty

Came cold. Had to warm it up in the microwave

Nice food but not the best. Reasonable delivery time and good service to a rural location. One side missing this time.

Chicken was tough. Keema Nan was small (not for sharing) & hardly any filling. Samosas expensive seeing as it was 2 small ones. Very disappointed.

We did not receive our 2 portions of chicken pakora, we only received 1

Hot, delicious, great quality and not at all greasy

Driver apologised for late delivery but food was still hot and very tasty

Great food! The lame was a little too coooked but great. Thanks!

I’ve been going to the Bayleaf since I was around 8 years old maybe? (I’m almost 29 now!) and it’s my favourite Indian restaurant. I’ve never had a bad meal, I’ve always enjoyed the buffet too. Excellent value for money and lovely staff. We’ve ordered off just eat plenty of times and it’s always fresh and hot, the meat has always been tender and you get generous portions. Highly recommend this place always!!

The food is delicious from here, just gorgeous

A lovely meal, we always enjoy your food.

Excellent food and delivery, early not a problem

Fabulous food, delivery was on time, and delicious.

Second time up all night with stomach ache from this place! Eat somewhere else and avoid the misery.

Lovely food as always, generous portions. Delivery driver polite and called when he couldn't find our address, it's a bit of a maze round us. Will use again and again.

Ordered a delivery in Yarnton for 4 last Tuesday evening. Have used the Bayleaf in the past and it was always excellent…..This time….Absolutely FANTASTIC!….I seriously can’t remember having a more enjoyable curry even in a restaurant. Onion bhajis were crunchy..yes,crunchy…other Indian restaurants say this cannot be achieved with a takeaway. Full marks to all at the Baytree…..you made our evening. 10/10

1 of the best curry’s I’ve ever had ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We have been coming to the Bayleaf for years and I’ve never had a poor meal. In the knowledge that a properly cooked biryani is a labour of love and a work of art usually reserved because of its complexity for celebrations and special occasions I thought I would give it a try. This was a mistake consisting of lumps of lamb and tons of probably separately cooked rice with no complexity or nuance of herb or spice flavours and the vegetable curry that was served with it added nothing to the meal. In short not a biryani ;flavourless and disappointing

Food was beautiful there was loads the only downfall is I wish they did cold drinks but apart from that everything was perfect

I ordered two mango chutney and 1,mint sauce. They sent 1 mango chutney 2 mint sauce. It was delivered not in house.

Delicious food, we really enjoyed our meal and it arrived on time, thank you. Look forward to ordering again.

Great menu with some brill house and chef specials (prawn dish is mega). Also excellent food and on-time delivery

Warm welcome friendly staff professional and attentive despite full restaurant. Food tasty and arrived piping hot. No rush for table makes a nice change . Would recommend a visit.

Delivery was late and food was mediocre, only just warm. Shame as I’ve previously had great curries here.

Late for collection. No explanation or apology given.

Great food, came piping hot, always tasty

As always, a delicious meal from Bayleaf. We have never been disappointed.

Really food delivered on time. Will definitely be using the Bayleaf from now on!

By far the best Indian takeaway food in Oxfordshire, well worth a visit too.

The meat content was excellent. However, the meal itself was very bland and had no taste. Delivery on time.

They delivered the wrong order and had to come back and swap it over.

I chose collection in 20 minutes, but on placing the order this jumped to 50 minutes, meaning the order would take even longer to bring home than the 40 minutes if delivered. I rang the restaurant and the agreed to expedite my order to the original 20 minutes. Thank you for being accommodating, Bayleaf!

tasty and good time to say how far they came along with free delivery :)

Took ages to arrive and wasn’t very warm

Chicken was tough, ordered 2 x mango chutney and only delivered 1, my daughter in law was walking down the drive so the delivery man said is this 86b and just left it on the slabs.

Here for the Sunday buffet, great selection (3 starters, chutneys; 4 mains; rice, naan and fruit salad. Great value, clean room and friendly staff. £11 pp!

Have been back three or four times this year - including the real value Sunday Buffet. Staff friendly and welcoming, service excellent and all Covid protection measures kept to a high standard (at over 80 years old I need to be careful!). The food and its presentation is consistently good as are the portion sizes so excellent value for money as well.

Food good as always. Nice flavour and fresh. I love the side of salad. The best around. Even delivered the food during the storm.
