I just went in here recently and had to put in a review. The Tikka Kababs are DELICIOUS. Super flavorful and some of the better ones I've had in recent memory. The food was very good and ambiance was very welcoming. Super friendly service and we thoroughly enjoyed our experience. My partner and I will absolutely be returning. read more

3.5 stars. The biryani was flavorful and not too overly oily nor spicy. Good quantity. The matar paneer was ok and too creamy. The roti was fine. Good ambiance. Will definitely come here and try other stuff. Promise to update the review with my favorites. read more

Ordered lamb chops and got lamb saag. Worst way to get the order mixed up. Called up and got the money back the person was not at all apolegetic for messing uo the order. Food has no flavors and all they give for overprice menus is lot of white rice. Not authentic indian/pakistani place at all. Just the names on the menu. read more

Very good food and great service. We had the mix platter, saag paneer, and falafel. They serve beer and wine. The tahini sauce that came with the falafel was amazing, never had anything better. read more

Food was very good and the owner was very nice and attentive. Something about just the rice was amazing, so fluffy and delicious.

Went to this restaurant on a Monday evening. Place looked nice and appeared to be clean. Were seated in a booth with privacy. Menu is Indian and Mediterranean cuisine. I ordered a buttery chicken and fettuccine dish #3 spice, and my partner ordered the Gyros platter. Both dishes were simply amazing and reasonably priced. The only negative comment was the Mac & Jack bwas flat and when we pointed it out to a server they were replaced with a fresh properly poured one. Service was polite and ok. Bathroom was clean and neat. Will definitely go to again. read more

The food was amazing, the service was a little slow. We ordered at of food, everything we ordered was wonderful and full of flavor. I was not a fan of my tamarind dinner drink though, but it was my first time ever drinking a tamarind drink, so perhaps it was just my taste and not the drink. The ambiance was just ok, nothing special. I would recommend for the food for sure! read more

We made an order for pickup this weekend and we were not disappointed. Is it the best ever? No, we've had better but it is was worth the 10 minute drive to have it again! Everything was delicious, even if under spiced, even after cooling down a bit BUT one of my samosas was WAY overdone and tasted like it had been refried which was disappointing. I wish I had taken pictures but we were so hungry we stuffed our faces as soon as we got home. They have at least earned a second shot, I think we'll do dine-in next time and see how the service is in-person. For now, I will chalk up the crispy samosa to the very large party they had leaving as we were picking up our order. read more

This place is hands down my favorite Indian restaurant. Everything we ordered was so delicious. The biriyani, curry and mixed plate were all so perfectly seasoned and the meats were soooo tender. I can't get over how tender and soft the meat was in all 3 dishes we ordered!! The green sauce and yogurt they gave us were are also super tasty. And I can't forget the veggies!!! Perfectly grilled. The man who we called and who gave us our to-go order was also extremely sweet and nice. I've eaten from here twice so far and he's smiled kindly both times and accommodated any needs I had. For the mixed plate, we wanted to replace rice with veggies and he did that! I never write reviews but I had to for this restaurant!! Go check this place out - you want regret it! read more

One of the very few places that serve fresh and good naans. Chicken dishes were pretty good too

*Decent Food, Mediocre Service* We went to Bay Leaf recently. While the food was decent I won't be visiting again due to the mediocre service we got at the restaurant. Right from getting the table until serving the food the server made us feel like they were doing us a favor. Anything we asked we got a flat weird look back While serving the mains Garlic Naan was given to us when most of our food was already over. If you are looking to get good food with great service try somewhere else! read more

After my favorite Indian restaurant closed several years ago I hadn't ventured out much, fearing disappointment and a new wave of grief. Alas, it was time to try again! After some extensive online searching, I finally decided upon Bay Leaf Bar & Grill. I believe I made a reservation, although it wasn't needed on a Thursday evening around 7 for two. The medium sized space contained a handful of fellow diners, but it was pretty quiet overall. For food I split an order of the Plain Naan ($3.50). The bread was both tender and crispy, yumm. Being a plant-based eater when possible, I went with the Aloo Saag for my entree--potatoes cooked with creamed spinach, simmered onions, and a special blend of spices ($16). Now, this dish is not exactly pretty but it sure is flavorful! The dish comes with a side of white rice. I wish the rice had a little more going on, but what can you do. I had plenty of rice to take home since I wanted to enjoy the fresh naan. Unfortunately, I'm sensitive to both onions and garlic, and the Aloo Saag sauce must contain quite a bit because it knocked me out the next day. If that weren't the case I would definitely order the Aloo Saag again! P.S. 3 stars is a good amount of spice. If you want a mild meal go for 1 star. Next time around I might choose 2, although 3 stars was tolerable. Service was okay. Everyone was very nice, however, too many people stopped by (and often) asking the same questions. Better than being completely ignored though! Parking is tricky in "downtown" Bothell, so show up early to hunt down a spot, or simply get take-out, which I would recommend if you live nearby. read more

Excellent food service and ambience ! Highly recommended . Loved the chicken kabob and sesame Naan! read more

It was by chance that we stopped in for a meal. We were on a date night and the place we were going was closed. The atmosphere was great as well as the food. The service was perfect. I would eat here again. read more

Absolutely delicious food, friendly service and beautiful interior! They serve huge buttered naans--we loved the biryani and korma and the raita is creamier than most places, which is really nice. Perfectly spiced...great selection of the menu. Highly recommend!!! read more

Bay Leaf Bar & Grill - My daughter loved it here!!! - Mediterranean Near Me - Bothell, Washington

I am sorry but the business owner's response to my review is a lie. We were not offered any entree and on top of it she accused us they're were fishing for a discount She was very rude and disrespectful. Very bad customer service read more

We weren't knocked out with the Indian dishes we ordered. We had high expectations from previous reviews but found the depth of flavor wasn't there. The sauce was too tomato forward and soupy. The interior is nice so we may give the Mediterranean food a try. read more

Our meal as the kids would say was very "mid." The service was very nice and had no issues with the staff. The food however was just OK. We got the Chili Chicken and Mixed Kebab platter. The chili chicken sauce was very tomato-y almost like a marinara. The Kebab platter seemed a bit small for $35. I would say there were 12 chunks of meat 8 chicken 4 ground lamb). The lamb was good but the chicken was a bit bland. Without the sauce not much was going on with them. Probably won't be back as it's not an area we frequent. If your looking for bold flavors this isn't the place. read more

The decor is amazing and the service was great. The staff were extremely friendly...... but none of that compares to how amazing the food was. Garlic naan- 10/10 Hummus- 10/10 Butter masala-9/10 Chicken tandoori added medium heat by request 10/10 perfectly charred juicy chicken with a great grill taste And lastly I have had some very basmati rice and this was buttery fluffy and delicious, with heaping helpings. read more

Bay Leaf Bar & Grill - Chicken Tandoori Chicken, butter masala, hummus, basmati rice. Sorry we ate the garlic naan in seconds. - Mediterranean Near Me - Bothell, Washington

Friendly service, lots of vegetarian options. Large restaurant quick to seat you. Nice addition to downtown Bothell options.

Ordered take out for a dinner party. Really loved the sag paneer and chicken tikka kababs. Garlic naan is tasty and a good portion. All my guests enjoyed the food! Thank you!! read more

This is our favorite Indian restaurant. We love the tikka masala with prawns and the paneer pakora appetizer. Consistently delicious!

Appetisers were really good. Fish pakoda was amaze. Mojitos were yum too and they just happened to have BIRA. Reminded me of Bangalore. Food quantity was pretty good. One flaw though was that "super spicy" wasn't any spicy. Biriyani was average though...nothing extra special. read more

The best Indian restaurant in Seattle area I visited! Curry is incredible, kabobs and chicken is awesome. read more

Thought I'd give this place a shot, here's what I tried: Chicken Biryani- I liked that it was boneless chicken, good seasoning and tender. The rice could have been seasoned a little better all the way through (most of the seasoning was on the chicken) but I would order this again. Throwing in a lemon wedge would have made it tastier as well. Beef Tikka Kabab- Flavor was awesome but dried out and overcooked. If cooked less, I would definitely order this again. After writing my review and then scanning through others' reviews, I see a trend in dried out kababs. I received chutney which I assume was for the kababs, flavor was great but sweet which I didn't like. Raita- Really heavy/rich. Maybe I'm wrong but it seems like they added mayonnaise. I'm used to raita being lighter and more refreshing with buttermilk and/or yogurt. Not sure how negative this review comes off but I did enjoy and would try them again, especially if they decided to try and of my requested changes. read more

Everything about this place is amazing. We visited Bay Leaf for the first time about an year ago and since then it has been our favorite place and now it is also the favorite of all of our friends and family! Try the goat based dishes, anything with Saag, biryani and okra! read more

This is a call for everybody to go ahead and try out Bay Leaf, as I really need this restaurant to stick around and continue to deliver at a high level. Today I was on the lookout for a local restaurant that had good vegetarian offerings to balance out my meat cravings. This restaurant was the highest rated vegetarian place on Yelp in my area, so I decided to give it a chance and am very glad I did. I ordered a takeout of Saag Paneer, Butter Masala (Chicken), Tandoori Chicken, and plain Naan. Everything was provided as expected. The food was fresh, flavorful, and looked like it was carefully prepared. I made the order directly on the Yelp website, which enabled me to select the right heat (spice) level, and the food was made per my selections. The portions were generous and well packed. I'm very happy to have a great Indian restaurant in my area and will definitely come back in the future. Please give them a try. read more

Second time there. Six of us were there, and we all enjoyed our meals and appetizers. Highly recommend!!

Such fantastic food, great service, and absolutely kind people. We had the saag (which was the best we'd ever had), chicken tikka masala, chicken curry, and butter chicken. Each one was distinct, and each was delicious. We will be back. read more

The food is amazing and so flavorful! I really like how you can customize the spice level to their dishes. Workers are very friendly and attentive. Great for a dinner with friends or a date night! read more

Excellent food and great variety. You will not be disappointed. Yelp on-line order range is not reliable, make sure you visit the restaurant's web side to verify delivery eligibility; or call. read more

Had the best time at Bay Leaf. Amazing food, great service, very very good drinks. And they have AC! The perfect place to stop this summer.

Our old favorite Indian restaurant closed after 30 years. Looking for something new, we found Bay Leaf. The restaurant was clean and spacious, the service was pleasant, and prompt, and the food was very nice. Also enjoyed some traditional and modern music at just the right volume for conversation and ambiance. This will be a good replacement for our old favorite. read more

We came across Bay Leaf while waiting for a restaurant near by with a long wait and gave it a shot. So glad we did! The service is great, people are kind and the food is amazing! We'll be here often! Since Covid started we have had such bad service at most restaurants. It's great to have a good experience again! Highly recommend! read more

I give this spot a solid 10/10 on food quality and taste! I ordered the Tandoor chicken tikka kebab boneless and Saag Paneer. Both were very fresh and delicious. Not your typical oily desi restaurant meal. Customer service was on point as well. So glad to see this latest addition to downtown Bothell! Only negative observation would be that the Paneer was a bit on the harder side. read more

Bay Leaf Bar & Grill - Chicken Tikka Kababs Saag Paneer - Mediterranean Near Me - Bothell, Washington

A friend told me that this is the best restaurant in the PNW... after going today, I'm inclined to agree. The 1st thing I noticed was the friendliness of the entire staff. They were all genuine, thoughtful, attentive and sincerely kind. They obviously care about anyone that walks in to eat there. The restaurant is clean, spacious and very comfortable. Now, let me tell you about the food... when I say the food is amazing, I mean, it is amazing ... the garlic Naam bread, the salad and the entrée all were completely incredible. Miracles on plate... that's what comes out of that kitchen. Everything was made to perfection. The prices are reasonable but I will be a regular because of the food and the service. This place is definitely worth the time. Your taste buds will thank you for it. read more

Delicious! Many a la carte options or family style dining. Our party ordered the Butter Chicken, Saag Paneer, Veggie Kahari, Tandoori Salmon, and samosas for the table. Bay Leaf is a welcome addition to Bothell's downtown. read more
