    The food here is okay but the muted flavors are disappointing. Started with the Gobi Manchurian appetizer which is one of my favorites, and I liked that the cauliflower was lightly battered, but the sauce needed more spices and everything was buried under onions and bell peppers. Tandoori chicken and lamb curry also were cooked well, but again lacked any flavor. We asked for moderate spiciness on the lamb curry but it was more like brown mushroom gravy with no kick. Garlic naan was similarly baked well but wish we could actually taste garlic. Service was very friendly and the interior is clean and welcoming, though maybe it was a sign how empty it was at dinner time.

    Got takeout from this spot and had a good experience! I did takeout from the Yelp app and liked that it showed me updates about my order directly in the app. The food was ready in about 20 min, which is great timing in my book. I was greeted at the front by one of the staff and they got my order to me right away. I did have to remind them about my mango Lassi, but by the time I reminded them there was already another waiter walking it over to me. I got the paneer tikka masala and it was lovely. Very much a comfort food. The mild was a little mild in flavor, so I might get a mild/med next time to add a bit more oomph to the dish. Generous serving of rice and the mango lassi was lovely! I will definitely come back for takeout and hope they make an appearance on some popular delivery apps soon.

    Ordered the BBQ meat platter and beef Nihari. The BBQ was great but the nihari didn't have enough flavor or any ginger in it. Service was okay too.

    Bay leaf is one of my favorite restaurants in Bothell. Family owned and run, the food is outstanding! My favorite appetizers are the chicken pakora and dolmathes. The chicken is crunchy and comes with a unique, tasty sauce. The dolmathes are classic grape leaves with good herbs. Main dishes that I love are the butter masala and the Chile chicken. You can't go wrong with anything you get here though. The Biryani is spicy. Full bar for those who fancy a drink with dinner. Classic decor, rarely too busy. Wonderful service.

    Garlic Naan

    Went in around 6ish on a Friday evening. The staff were very friendly and courteous. They did keep checking on us (probably she must be the manager or the owner is my wild guess). Ambience was also good. These are the items which we ordered - Paneer Tikka Appetizer - good Chilli Paneer - very good Gyro Platter - very good (loved the meat texture and softness) KARAHI (GOAT) - very good Garlic Naan - good Chai - good, felt great after getting wet in the rain Kulfi - good They do serve alcohol as well. I would definitely recommend this place and would visit once again later. Parking is a pain if you are totally new to this location. It would either be street parking or the parking in the garage behind (all spaces were marked resident parking, so I am not sure which one is reserved for the restaurant). You can probably park in the town hall parking across the restaurant.

    Fun place to stop by! There is lots of seating options and a private party room. I got the pomegranate gin and tonic and it was tasty. It wasn't too sweet and just the right balance.

    Garlic Naan

    We've been here twice for dinner now and both times we were left wondering why this restaurant wasn't packed. It's a family-owned Indian restaurant with delicious food and genuinely kind service! The garlic naan is some of the best we've had--soft, buttery, and packed with flavor. And the coconut chicken curry is absolutely incredible. Rich, creamy, perfectly spiced, and savory chicken --comfort food at its finest. It's been pretty empty during both our visits, which is such a shame because this spot truly deserves more love. If you're in the area, skip the chains and support this local gem. You won't regret it!

    I dine at this restaurant occasionally. It never disappoints. Great family run place. Super friendly people. The menu has a lot of great choices. Appetizers are delicious. I will definitely keep coming back for the amazing Indian food. They knock it out of the park every time.

    We have gotten takeout from here a couple of times and finally had dinner here recently. They have a lot of seating space inside, and the service is friendly and quick. We got Tandoori Chicken, Goat Curry, and Tandoori Roti. We loved the Goat Curry, Tandoori Roti and Tandoori Chicken were good. For dessert we got Kulfi and Rasmalai. Both our desserts were very good, the Kulfi portion was double of what were expecting.

    Nice clean place, server was nice. Didn't know it was an Indian Cuisine till we saw the menu and heard the music, place had a modern decor. Full bar and decent size menu. Food was delicious, fresh and every bite tasted better than the other. Food did take a bit of time but was definitely worth the wait. Highly recommended if you are hungry and ready to overload with carbs.

We made a reservation on Resy (which is really great if you have American Express because they have a special dining compensation program through Resy). Brittany was our server, and fantastic. We started with the martini espresso and a cappuccino heavy on the foam. My friend ordered the tender pulled beef short ribs with pan roasted potatoes that came topped with perfectly fried eggs. I ordered the shrimp and grits with eggs over easy. The grits were so creamy and wonderfully hot, temperature hot not spicy, and the shrimp came flavored in a sauce that is hard to describe but very easy to eat. Conversation was possible because it wasn't too loud and the seating was fantastic, not tight or packed together, and there was in fact a really wonderful covered patio space outside complete with attractive center table and decor of lights. For her birthday there was a lemon ricotta cheesecake that was perfectly doused in cherry sauce with optional Graham powder crust circling the moist and light cheesecake. Came with a sparkler which made for the perfect occasion to take a birthday photo. And even complementary many pours of champagne to toast. I don't know if there's a better place to dine in Bothell.

    I definitely recommend this place, and I'll be back!…read more I ordered the 3 fried chicken tender meal with the mild spice level. The chicken is Hawaiian-style, and the meal comes with daikon pickles. As a pickle lover, I was excited and these were awesome They were a strange highlighter-yellow color, but don't let that scare you. They were delicious! The chicken tenders were HUGE and tasted like nice pieces of breast meat. They were crispy, well seasoned and filling enough that I could only finish 2 out of 3. I also ordered the kimchi mac & cheese and fries. Everything is à la carte, and honestly, the hardest part was picking sides because there were so many choices First, the FRIES. Crispy, clean tasting and seasoned perfectly. I'm emphasizing this because here in Seattle, fries are always a mystery You truly never know what you're going to get. The kimchi mac & cheese surprised me in the best way. I was a little nervous the kimchi sauce would overpower everything, but I barely noticed it. Every bite was cheesy, thick and creamy with a sharper cheese flavor, not that overly gooey, messy mac & cheese. I'd heard before coming here that their spice levels can run hotter than advertised, for example, that the mild cayenne might taste more like hot. Personally, I didn't think the mild was hotter than advertised. If you enjoy seasoned food, you should be fine. If you're sensitive to spice or heavy seasoning, just work your way up. And don't skip the dips! I tried the hibiscus BBQ sauce and really liked it. I'm normally a honey mustard girl too, but I wasn't paying extra for another sauce Luckily, the dip portion was pretty generous and plenty for my meal. Service was fast, informative and decent. The restaurant itself was small, quiet and super laid-back. I went with a friend and only saw maybe two other people come in while we were there. Next time I'm trying that cucumber salad Overall, crispy Hawaiian-style chicken, great sides, GOOD fries, awesome pickles and portions that actually fill you up. I'll definitely be back.

I got the medium spice level and it was about as spicy as I was expecting, I would probably get the hot next time. Fair warning, my spice tolerance is pretty high so what I think of as medium may not be what everyone else expects medium to be, since I saw a lot of the reviews on Google said that it was too spicy. Everything here was a bit on the salty side, but not unbearable. The fries were also pretty good, so I'd probably get more of those!
