    Another brand new Indian restaurant in Bothell. This one is replacing the Namaste Indian restaurant. They have revamped the space and made it an elegant looking restaurant. The interior are truly remarkable. Great ambiance for any occasions. Best part about this place is the variety on their menu. Soups, Starters, Kebabs, Tiffin & Chaat options, Entrees, House Biriyani & rices, Fusion specialties (tacos, wings, fried rice, noodles etc.), variety of breads, desserts, beverages, mocktails and special kids menu! A whole lot of options to pick from. Being here for the very first time, was a bit skeptical about it when I saw so many options. So we decided to order some tiffins - Uthappam & masala dosas and a Amaravathi special biryani. Also ordered a Classic mojito mocktail as well. Food arrived relatively quickly. Mocktail first, followed by Uthappam and masala dosa. The Tiffins were really good - very soft Uthappam - very delicious with the Sambar & chutneys served alongside. Only good words about the Masala dosa as well. Very fresh and hot served quickly. Biryani took some time to arrive - they warned us that it will be a spicy one due to the ingredients and they won't be able to adjust the spice level. It was spicy - manageable for us - especially the raita & salan served alongside. The flavor was outstanding. The meat was cooked. Interestingly it had the dum version of chicken as well the fried version - adding more to the flavors. Really enjoyed it! Service has been really great from the moment we walked in. They gave us a nice and cozy place. People were always around to help or answer the questions. Great hospitality from the staffs. It's brand new - very neat and clean. Well maintained place. I hope they will continue the excellent service and quality of the food. At the moment, my new favorite Indian place in Bothell area. Highly recommend Aroma!

    Butter chicken, after eating a good portion of it, and the delicious butter naan.

The owners check on diners and are happy to explain dishes. The walls are adorned with beautiful fabric tapestries and the interior has a cozy feel. Most of the dishes they make are inherently gluten-free and they are thoughtful about labeling.

There were a few other people at 11:30am We asked if they do lunch buffet as I didn't see any self serve food. The staff said they offered in the past but not today.. it might come back in 2 weeks? We ordered hummus, garlic naan, fish masala and special kebabs without lamb which was accommodated per our request. The food even the side veggies were really good, we all liked everything. I like this place for good quality fresh ingredients that I don't feel overstuffed. It's probably because the food is easy to digest? This doesn't happen with other Mediterranean and Indian food. I'd like to come back when they start lunch buffet again.

Once we were seated, looked over the drink menu and some nice cocktails and mocktails - and no one ever came back for 10 minutes. By that time our friends joined us and we skipped the drinks and just went straight to food. Sadly, the Food was just ok. The flavors just seemed to be muted. We did medium spice, and it wasn't hardly spiced at all. A bit bland, really.

    Man, I really want to give 4 stars here, but I just can't quite give it the 4th, unfortunately…read more I had just finished a grueling four days* of working in Puget Sound, which involved a lot of being out and about without knowing where I'd be or what I'd be doing the next hour, so you can imagine how exhausted I was when I came in to order a nice takeout meal for dinner. For whatever reason, I was craving Mediterranean food, and when I was searching for Mediterranean food in the Bothell area, where I was going to be spending the next couple of days afterwards, this restaurant showed up third on the list! As I was looking through the menu, I noticed their main cuisine is Indian cuisine, yet they also served Mediterranean food, which I thought was intriguing, yet a little dubious as I believe that a restaurant serving a multitude of cuisines could subject themselves to being spread too thin in their kitchen. I had looked at their menu beforehand and had decided to get the Gyro Platter, Butter Masala with Chicken, and the Goat Biryani, hoping the Goat would also mean "Greatest of All Time." I also got some butter and garlic naan to go with the meal. When I came in, Azmat was there to serve me. He had such a pleasant and calming demeanor that I wish the quality of the food would have matched that of his level of service. After reciting my order to him, he mentioned it would take 15 to 20 minutes for my order to be ready. I was sitting in a seat by the front door while several other customers came in to pick up their online orders. I thought about ordering online, but realized it would have cost a few dollars extra to do so, hence why I decided to go there in person to order. After 10 minutes, a server noticed me sitting there and offered to assist. I knew it was early, so there wasn't much she could do at this point. 15 minutes later, an employee came from the back to hand me my takeout order while apologizing for the long wait. Well, not too bad of an extended wait though. But what was too bad was the two Indian dishes that I ordered. Neither the Goat Biryani nor the Butter Masala really left any impression whatsoever. They definitely didn't taste bad, but I felt the flavors in both were quite muted. I did like the Gyro Platter better, though, but I wouldn't say it was as good as other Mediterranean spots I've been to in SoCal. The Naan breads didn't leave any impression either; I would have guessed it was just plain Naan bread. For a fraction of the cost, I'm sure you could go to one of Safeway, Fred Meyer, or even QFC for a pack of plain Naan bread that would taste almost as good. Bay Leaf Bar & Grill is located at the base of the Junction Apartments next to McMenamins Anderson School. There's plenty of parking closer to the school, but parking adjacent to Bay Leaf is quite scarce. There's a wide bike path that almost looks like a sidewalk, but is wide enough for cars to drive through. There are a few on-street parking spots directly in front, but right before these spots, there's an alleyway that has a few parking spots albeit 15 minutes only. Some of the spots are reserved for McMenamins, but I do remember the first one not having any mention of McMenamins. I wouldn't mind coming back if I wanted a taste of both Mediterranean and Indian in the same meal, especially since the interior looked so fancy and well-maintained! However, if I wanted just one or the other, I'd look elsewhere next time I'm visiting the area. Overall, 7 stars out of 10, but rounded down. * My visit was back in November of 2025; I had gone on a hiatus from posting reviews, hence the rather last post.

They have a surprisingly large selection, whether you're looking for meat, vegetarian, or vegan options. Even the sauces come with several choices, which I appreciated. The service really made the visit memorable. The staff took the time to chat with me and my daughters, and they patiently walked us through the menu instead of rushing us. I ordered the falafel, and they explained that it's made fresh every day, even describing how they prepare it. They also asked if I had any food allergies and went over all of the available toppings and options, which showed they genuinely cared about getting the order right. One thing that really surprised me was the variety of falafel choices. I've eaten at more gyro places than I can count, and this was the first time I'd seen multiple falafel options instead of just one standard version. It was a nice touch and something that made the restaurant stand out. The restaurant itself is clean, comfortable, and has plenty of seating. Since it's in a shopping plaza, parking wasn't an issue either. The atmosphere was relaxed, and the background music was at just the right volume, you could actually enjoy a conversation without having to raise your voice. Overall, this was a great first experience. Between the friendly service, fresh food, and the attention they gave to explaining everything, it's easy to see why people come back. Next time I'm planning to try one of their meat dishes because everything looked excellent. If you're in the Lynnwood/Bothell area and are looking for a good gyro spot, I'd definitely recommend giving Gyro Stop a try.

I love the music playing in the background, and the Mumbai themed décor is so unique and thoughtfully done. It really adds to the whole experience. Coming to the food, I specifically went for the happy hour chaat platter. I reached around 6:56 PM, and the platter is only available from 5 to 7 PM. Initially, I could not find it on the menu, and our assigned server was different. However, Rohan recognized us from our previous visits and came over. When I mentioned I was there just for the chaat platter, he kindly checked and found the menu for us. He let us know it would take about 20 minutes to prepare, which we were completely fine with. The platter arrived in about 20 to 25 minutes, and it was absolutely worth the wait. Everything from the bhel puri, pav bhaji bites, samosa chaat, to the sandwich was delicious, flavorful, and very satisfying. The chai was also really good. Highly recommend this place for both the vibe and the food. We will definitely keep coming back.

And that maybe was a big miss. We tried the butter chicken, naan, the chana masala, and another chicken curry that I can't remember the name of.

After walking…read morearound to stretch our legs from the drive we ducked into Zeitoon Grill House for some Persian cuisine. Based on decor I wondered if it had been a pub or steakhouse once in its life: lots of paneled and coffered wood, chandeliers, and wooden booths with coat hangers. We started with the baba ghanouj and ordered the fesenjan and a beef kobideh for meals. The meals came with a salad to share rather than small individual salads on the plate which was a nice touch. The staff was able to provide some veggies with the baba ghanouj since my partner in crime can't have bread. The baba ghanouj was great - exactly the smoky eggplant flavor I was craving when I saw the sign for Persian cuisine. The kobideh was nice and tender - you could taste the onion. The fesenjan was also extremely good. One question: Who eats this much rice in one dish? The rice was very good - but it is a lot of rice. I haven't had Persian like this since we had Persian neighbors who invited us over.

The center area hosted a huge group with multiple tables pushed together. I have avoided Zeitoon all these years because they are higher cost, not necessarily justifiable since there are lower cost Persian foods or similar Mediterranean restaurants in the area. I finally decided to try them. Our server answered my questions, including his favorites. Two questionable/sketchy things happened: 1. Our server recommended the Mirza Ghasemi, which he said is great with the optional soft-boiled egg. Sounds good. We ordered it. The optional egg is $2, which is not identified on the menu. (See photo) 2. When he recommended the Mirza Ghasemi, we asked him to remove the Mast O Khiar which we initially chose. I said we only want one appetizer. He nodded and said OK. When the Mirza Ghasemi arrived, so did the Mast O Khiar. They put both on the table and immediately left. I flagged the original server to remind him we said to remove it, but a different person showed up instead. He: "You want to cancel this? No problem." and took the yogurt away. I did not order this; it is not me canceling. Minus 0.5 stars from overall rating. The Food: Mirza Ghasemi + egg, $14 +$2 - 2.5 Stars This eggplant dish is the one recommended by our server. We do enjoy eggplant dips, especially warm versions. The optional "soft boiled egg" is not an American version but tiny threads of yellow egg bits mixed within the eggplant mixture. Honestly, we cannot taste the egg. It is borderline a scam. This dish would be 3.5 stars if it was $14 at the menu price, which is already on the high side. A $16 eggplant dish is delusional. Lamb Shishlik Kebab, $36 - 3.5 Stars Menu: Lamb rack marinated and chargrilled (see menu photo) I knew I would not see a rack of lamb on my plate. I got four lamb chops. Meat quality wise, this is excellent. It comes with a ton of basmati rice and a salad with a refreshing light dressing. This is a bit spendy for the quantity of meat, but taste is good. Soltani Shishlik, $42 - 3.5 Stars This is the exact same dish as above except add a skewer of grounded beef kebab. This kebab, and I quote my hubby, is "not that good". Same comment for the rest of the dish. A basket of lavash bread arrived at the table. I believe it came with the Mirza Ghasemi. We have eaten many lavash breads, commonly used as wrap so it is grilled and/or heat-pressed with oil on the surface. These lavash breads are simply warmed. I learned they taste terrible that way. The surface has a sandpaper texture and still taste like sandpaper when eating it. If I paid for this separately, I would be upset.
