Bayleaf Restaurant in Barnet

This is our second time coming to Bayleaf. The staff were all very friendly and welcomed us with a warm smile. We had the most tastiest meal with delicious starters and mains. We will be returning AGAIN, thank you so so much.

It’s our second time at Bayleaf and we had such a warm welcome. Amazing customer service, all the waiters were happy to go the extra mile for us. We had starters & mains both were soo delicious. My favourite was the butter chicken! We will definitely go back.

We had lovely servers who made the experience excellent for us - special thank you to Mitra for your hospitality and great services. Yummy food.

The experience I had was magnificent and amazing,the food was exceeded my expectations it definitely was very nice to dine at 5 stars guaranteed

Quality food and service. Would highly recommend. I had the chicken and lamb curry with the momo to start. Will be going back soon!

Awful food. Full of oil. Very poor value for money. Thick stiff rotis. Parathas not flaky. Do not go there. Restaurant should be closed bank holiday Sunday and we were the only diners. Just shows it's us not good or popular.

The fact that I’ve returned, must tell you something. This place (even though it’s a quiet Monday night) is so attentive. The food is chock full of flavour and the fresh ingredients make it a delight to consume. The presentation, despite it being of Instagram standard, is actually very pleasing to the eye and very reminiscent of days gone by when the kitchen took pride in their food rather than worrying about their reputation. Would I recommend here? Absolutely. Will I be back? You betcha. Do I write reviews often? Normally on Google but they’re always honest and constructive where needed. Thank you Bayleaf. I shall return!

Took some family out for dinner, the staff were very friendly so professional & accommadating. The food was amazing & so tasty, one of my cousins said it was the best indian food he has ever tasted I fully agree.

Fantastic meal, best Indian I’ve had I’ve had in years! Really tasty food and a cut above the normal. Lovely restaurant, super friendly and helpful staff.

Never been so impressed with a restaurant in my life! From the presentation to the quality of the food and the staff, I will most definitely be back! Mitra was the perfect host and made the experience even more special.

Fantastic food and first class service, especially from Mitra. Great ambiance. A great place to go for any occasion.Will definitely visit again, would recommend.

Fabulous food. Manager and staff did everything they could to make evening special. Highly recommend.

Fantastic restaurant with an exceptional flair of showmanship. A recommended venue for special occasions.

Tonight we dined at Bayleaf, and we had an exceptional experience. The food was delicious, showcasing authentic Indian flavors. A special mention goes to the manager, a lovely Iranian lady, who truly went above and beyond to ensure we had a wonderful time. Her warm hospitality and attention to detail made our visit memorable. Thank you for a fantastic evening. We will definitely be back!

Great food, great atmosphere. Would highly recommend

Amazing service and delicious food! I will be back there very soon. Mitra was amazing with recommending dishes from the menu - we thoroughly enjoyed the dishes she had recommended. She was professional and friendly making it an enjoyable experience for us. The Kale chaat is an absolute hit!

This is a real cut above your usual Indian cuisine. Amazing flavours.

Fabulous experience to celebrate good friend’s birthday there. The manager is super nice and helpful to explain the menu, and a surprisingly tasty recommendation of deep fried kale. We’re given space but still attention when needed in every detail. My friend truly had a wonderful birthday with Bayleaf.

Wow what an evening! Thank you so much for an incredible dining experience, the food was amazing and the staff friendly and attentive. We will definitely be back!

Very clean and beautiful place, all the food was a perfect size and the chicken tikka curry was incredible 🤍

Mitra was lovely best host ever

The sublime food complimented by the amazing service gifted a truly wholesome night with the colleagues. Highly recommend the lamb shank, its tender and slips delicately off the bone. All in all a graceful and wholesome night topped with classy decor and kind people

What an amazing place to eat. My family loved it and great service.

Beautiful food and excellent service. Lamb shank was amazinggg

Best food with the best service!! Thank you so much for everything !! Mitra was amazing, a true asset to the company

An enjoyable evening with friend. A wide choice of plates. I’ve been before and always consistently good I have to compliment on a very detailed identification of all food types and intolerances within to suit on the menu. Add dram help with liquid Nitrogen!

Bayleaf Restaurant has become a cherished tradition for our annual family birthday dinner. The staff is incredibly friendly, and this year, our waitress Mitra truly impressed us. She took the time to explain the menu in detail, offering insights into the unique spices and flavors used in each dish. Unlike any other Indian restaurant I've been to, Mitra made personalized recommendations that were spot on! We tried the curry and mixed kebab and it was phenomenal - the lamb was melt-in-your-mouth tender and the sauce had a delightful depth of flavor. The whole experience - from Mitra's attentiveness to the delicious food - made my dad's birthday truly special. The restaurant itself has a warm and inviting atmosphere, perfect for a family gathering. If you're looking for an exceptional Indian dining experience in Whetstone, look no further than Bayleaf!"

Excellent place, great service and food full of flavours and nicely presented

Beautiful place and had really professional service the food was great as well.

Excellent food and great service

I enjoy the food here very much.the venue is lovely and the food is delicious. The Service is a tiny bit obsequious but didn't affect our experience too much.

Fabulous, friendly service with wonderul food! Highly recommend and really look forward to going back!!!

went out for dinner, nice drinks, great service and really delicious food. will be back.

Food looks good but is super dry and flavourless.

Fiod this visit was a huge disappointment

Amazing food but most of all amazing service! We where a group booking of around 16 people which isn't always a easy serve but Mitra was brilliant. Would be recommending bayleaf to everyone I know Thank you soo much for everything today!

Wonderful Indian food, with both classic dishes and some modern twists all presented so well. The fish curry and the lamb in particular were standout items. Definitely on the more expensive side but I feel that it was worth it on this occasion, with great service throughout.

Lovely fresh food, friendly staff, calm atmosphere, nicely decorated

A truly great experience everytime we visit . Fantastic flavours , excellent service and lovely ambience. A special mention to our waitress Mitra too as she was very accommodating and patient with a hungry and demanding group of 8 of us !

A very nice restaurant. Clean and very friendly staff. The food was very nice and tasty. Note that most main curry dishes comes with rice, so you do not have to order this separately. Very spacious between tables so you can have nice conversations with your parry and not drowned out by the noise of the other tables. Would highly recommend this restaurant.

10/10 Indian restaurant, about as far removed from your 'local Indian' as it gets. The food was innovative whilst remaining true to its roots, fresh, very well balanced and most importantly, tasted superb. Highly recommend.

Food was truly wonderful, 5 course vegetarian taster menu was of excellent value, well thought out as well. Staff are very friendly, creating a very welcoming atmosphere.

It is always an experience to dine at Bayleaf. We went to celebrate my birthday with my family and they all loved the food, service and warmth of all.

The customer service was fantastic! Very attentive and welcoming. The decor and seating was comfortable. The food was delicious, we ordered many starters and mains, all were great. Booking is easy and restaurant was clean. Prices were reasonable. Staff are paid service charge to by the owner after speaking to staff, which is fair. Definitely a great service all round. Highly recommend.

Excellent food and very friendly staff.

Average Bangladeshi restaurant serving Indian food. We ordered a few plates of food between four of us - chilli paneer, jaipuri okra fry, chicken 65, a spicy lamb curry, mixed vegetable curry, spinach paneer, lemon rice, papadoms, tandoori roti and naan. The good bits first - the ambience of the restaurant was really good - smart and good-looking venue, smartly dressed staff and excellent table layout. Great location on T&W high street. The presentation of the food was very good and we witnessed some theatrical presentation (with dry ice) at a neighbouring table. We were also informed by the waiter that it was a fine dining venue. Now to the not so good part. The food itself - the restaurant got the flavour profile and origin story of all the dishes wrong. The name of the dishes and the flavours in the dish did not match. This is ok for a person who is unaware of the flavours that supposed to be associated with those dishes, but would be disappointing for a person who had ordered and selected an item off the menu expecting certain flavours. The only reason for this, if I were to guess, the kitchen staff and the chef, are not Indian, but Bangladeshi. Hence, the limited understanding of the flavours associated with the dishes. Another odd thing we noticed was they charging (and not informing us) for the sauces they serve with the poppadums. To summarise, it is a great place for someone looking for food with Indian spices with great ambience and presentation to accompany it, but would be disappointing for someone who knows how their Indian dishes should taste like.

Fantastic restaurant. Highly recommend. Flavour of the food is beautiful. Also the service was phenomenal , the young lady called Mitra who served us was very very friendly and made the evening really enjoyable.

Everything was perfect. Absolute lovely food and phenomenal service from Mitra the waitress.

Ordered a take away and it was absolutely delicious!

Was here for my leaving meal and it was one of, if not, the best Indian meals I have ever had (Dumba Bhuna Masala). Our waitress (Mitra) recommended the Crispy Kale Chaat and it was phenomenal just like the whole service! Unfortunately I am moving to New Zealand, but will be thinking of this meal every time I have a curry 🤩

Overpriced and the food is not what you'd expect from a authentic Indian restaurant. The menu is limited too. There are plenty far better Indian restaurants around.

Such a great dining experience at Bayleaf every time we have a meal here, the food is outstanding and the staff are so friendly and helpful truly a credit to the restaurant. Thank you for making my birthday special!

Our visit to Bayleaf last Saturday was fantastic! It's a great spot for families. The kids loved the colourful mocktails, especially the Blue Dragon. The Momo dumplings and South Indian Spiced Lamb starters were not only tasty but also beautifully presented. For the main course, we opted for a variety of dishes to share. Butter Chicken is a must-try and the unforgettable Maharani Dal – truly one of the best I've ever had. We finished off the meal with two delightful desserts. What really stood out was the friendly and attentive staff. They made us feel welcome and had some excellent recommendations. Bayleaf is a top choice for a delicious family dinner. You must visit!

Completely amazing meal here. Staff were amazing and couldn’t do more for you but not overbearing. The food was outstanding with some really unique flavours in some of the dishes. Really couldn’t recommend more highly.

Great good, great atmosphere and a nice and accommodating menu. Would recommend booking as it can get quite busy on a Friday and Saturday evening.

Super tasty food as usual, presentation was immaculate.our family’s favourite Indian cousin.extremely polite staff.

Great food and great waitress. Mitra was fantastic, very helpful and polite. She suggested a dream meal to have.

Had a lovely dinner with the family for my daughters bday- food and service 5 star- would highly recommend 👌🏻

Had the most beautiful evening with my husband here. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming. It seemed quite romantic - the majority of people were dressed to impress as a couple. The cocktails were phenomenal and the food was out of this world and would eat here every day if I could.

The Lady serving us was very good. All the recommendations she gave us was great. The chicken dumplings momo she recommended was absolutely brilliant for the cameras.

Mitra was absolutely wonderful. So thoughtful and caring. Food awesome. Will be back. This is well worth a visit.

Once again, amazing food, service and a lovely atmosphere. Never disappoint.

We have lived in Europe for 4 years and this is the single best meal I have ever had. As someone with celiac disease, finding gluten free options is not difficult in London. But this was exquisite. The food, atmosphere, and care of the staff was above and beyond. We will most certainly be back.

My wife and I visited “London” on vacation and found this restaurant. From now on, anytime we are in London, we will be visiting this establishment. Wonderful wait staff and even better food. It is well worth the train ride if you are staying in London proper. My wife and I are Celiac and the only menu item we ordered that we don’t recommend is the Lamb biryani. It comes with a naan crust on top for being made in the tradition way. But still! Hands down the best meal we’ve ever had in London.

Wonderful restaurant with real authentic Indian food. By far one of the best places that I have been! Great experience, great food and the service and staff was amazing!

Amazing food. Great service. All round great experience. Ordered the Lamb Massala and Butter chicken alongside starters Momo, seafood selection (king prawns and scallops), and the selection of 3 different chicken. Absolutely fantastic. Highly highly recommend.

Food was incredible! Favourite restaurant in North London. My local Indian. Staff are so friendly!!! Can’t wait to come back :)

Lovely experience. Amazing flavours!! Honestly couldn't fault this restaurant. Lovely staff too- really made the meal extra special :)

We hosted a very special occasion at the Bayleaf. We were blown away by the professionalism and warmth shown to us and every one of our guests. The food was complimented and commented on by all...so tasty, flavourful and presented with panach and plenty of it! They (all staff) looked after us like we were family and catered to our every need. Now we go back at every opportunity, enjoy the style and warmth and of course the amazing food, whenever we can. Mr Miah and his Team are our first choice to deliver a first class, memorable and tasty dining experience.

Lovely atmosphere of the restaurant. Mitra was serving us - she was very attentive and friendly. She made our experience so wonderful by catering for our needs, checking in and helping serve the food.

I had genuinely been looking forward to dining at this establishment; however, I must admit that my experience left much to be desired. The ambiance, in particular, felt rather chilly and lacked the warmth I had anticipated. While I don't mind investing in quality cuisine, I couldn't help but feel that the menu was a tad overpriced. Unfortunately, the dishes, despite their impressive presentation, did not meet my expectations. As a result, I'm uncertain whether I'll be returning to dine here anytime soon

Recommended by friends and were very happy with our visit. Great food, great service, thank you : )

Has to be the best indian restaurant i’ve been too. Walked in here as a new customer and they now have a returning regular

Superb food, cosy ambience and excellent service. Can’t fault it !

Lovely, friendly staff and fantastic food Always been a favourite for food Never disappoints and genuinely cosy and inviting

We loved the food . We had starters , main and deserts. The food is of great quality and atmosphere is so friendly and warm. Our hostess Mitra made sure we were very taken care of and we enjoyed our dinner very much

I would highly recommend this restaurant. Excellent food - full of flavours. Great service too. Thank you!

A great place for any occasion. The food was delicious, really fantastic quality and the service excellent. I will definitely be coming back!

Amazing taste ! This was one of the most authentic meals we had I a long time. Service was excellent and the staff was really accommodating! Can’t wait to visit again !

This was such a great experience. Mitra looked after us so well and we've had the best night, thanks to her. The cocktails were out of this world. We're so happy we have found a local place that is outstanding quality and outstanding service plus...

The food was honestly Amazing, Me and my friend had the Momo, Butter Chicken and the Chicken Masala and it was incredible. The Service from Mitra was so welcoming and warm, she gave good recommendations and was very helpful when selecting our dishes.

A lovely Indian restaurant. We had the crispy kale chaat, momo and the chicken masala. Everything was freshly cooked and the service was excellent.

It was such a great experience, the food is really nice, we were happy discovering another culture, 10/10

Beautiful venue! Food was delicious I loved everything about it and every dish was full of wonderful flavour! We had a lovely host who accommodated to us. I would definitely love to come back here again! And experience this amazing Indian cuisine.

Spectacular presentation of food, great cocktails and attentive service. Kale chat was really tasty. Brownie dessert was outstanding. Do not mind paying higher prices for quality but was lacking on detail - potatoes were not soft for saag aloo, dip for bhajias was bland and some dishes were quite average.

I was looking for somewhere a cut above the average mediocre dining experience for a special occasion. The food, service and location was excellent, and exactly what I sought. Professional and efficient but with a personal touch. Tof, the manager, was attentive and accommodating in...

This is an exceptional Indian restaurant. I totally recommend it to all Indian food lovers. Service is super attentive and helpful.

I wish people would stop complaining about the price. Where has everyone been in the last couple of years. All foods have gone up in price, including supermarkets… It’s quite obvious the delicious food is of high quality. I absolutely love the food here. We need more quality restaurants in the area. Huge 10/10

Exceptional Indian restaurant with gorgeous selection of food even for vegetarians. Attentive service, superb overall.

Food is nice and would go again if pricing was reasonable. For what you get as well as location, the cost doesn’t make sense.

The food here is excellent so I expected to pay more than a “normal” Indian. It is still on the high side but just about worth it. We all enjoyed every dish and would definitely recommend. The only reason this review is 4 and not 5 star is because of the charges for the poppadums and sauces. These are sometimes complimentary but even if charged for the poppadums I certainly wouldn’t have expected to pay for the sauces to go with it or at least be explained these would be chargeable. Small gripe but worth noting if you visit. Also £8 for a bottle of cobra probably bought from Costco is a little cheeky. On the whole though very good just no poppadums or beer for me next time ! 🤣🤣

Great Indian food. Great taste and flavours. And recd a complimentary dessert. Great experience

Well what can I say...after what seems like an eternity I finally found my way to bayleaf...defo my new fav Indian spot...knew it was a bit pricier than my normal spots so I was a bit hesitant but after tasting the food theres a very good reason why...can't fault anythin...from the service to the drinks to the food...everythin was spot on...Mitra was very attentive...even gave me a dessert on the house as it was my bday...only thing I'd say is I'm surprised with the food they serving they haven't got a bigger place...place would be packed...as it was today...will defo be back soon...

Lovely ambiance inside and out. We had a the set menu and loved it. It came with a flaming BBQ to begin with. It is very popular and difficult to get in mid week.

Amazing food, outstanding service, what else could you ask for? Thoroughly enjoyed the night at Bayleaf Restaurant with my friend, we were very looked after and I have to say, it is the best Indian food I’ve every had. Thank you so much Bayleaf

Quite possibly one of the best restaurants we have been to. It’s hard to find an Indian restaurant that doesn’t have a book as a menu! Beautiful food and ambiance along with very attentive staff - Mitra in particular took great care of us (what...

As others have already said, this is a gem of a restaurant that we are fortunate to have in Whetstone! Excellent quality and many items way beyond the usual fare. Impeccable and friendly service as well in a very clean and attractive restaurant. How could anyone resist a menu item that insists ‘it’ll blow your mind’? :)

Upon entering Bayleaf we were greeted with exceptional customer service from the staff. The food was delicious and we were sad that we were too full up to indulge in dessert as it looked scrumptious when we saw others order.

Amazing meal! Amazing service! Classy and a real treat. Vegetable Korma is out of this world. Service is incredible - the staff cares so deeply about your experience and takes pride in their restaurant.

Wonderful food. Very tasty, fresh and pleasantly different. Great ambience, service and they brought out a lovely cake with candles to celebrate my sons birthday. Always special coming here for dinner.
