The pakora was very salty; almost unacceptably so. The mains - chicken tikka masala and chicken afghani - were tasteless.

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.

Realistically I would have given a 3.5 star rating but felt it was closer to 3 than 4. Keep in mind I got takeout. Here is everything I got with its rating: - Butter chicken (3/5) - Sauce was a bit too sweet and didn't have the spicy depth of flavor that I'm accustomed to having at other restaurants - Garlic naan (3.5/5) - Was lacking garlic and I usually like it more pillowy - Samosa (4/5) - Was solid, no complaints but not anything exceptional. Was missing the green sauce that usually comes with and could have been packed to stay a bit crispier (holes in the box). - Chicken wings (4/5) - This ended up being the best thing we got albeit they were just buffalo wings Portion sizes were relatively small compared to the same price I would have paid at other restaurants.

But just be aware this is not on the typical American spiciness scale.

We still ended up ordering it because the rest had Indo-Chinese (not GF). I'd be back to try some other things on their menu.

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.

Service- I had a lady (assuming the owner), she was a bit pushy in having us order more. Other than that nobody bothered us during our meal. I did however notice how most of their attention was towards their regulars (giving them a benefit of doubt) which happened to be anyone that wasn't Indian/brown. We had zero check ins during our meal but there was a couple right next to us and almost every server there, and another family that had all their attention. Place- it can get a bit crowded and feel like the tables are set a little too close together. Overall, come for food.

Food: (3/5) I got the veggie samosas and my partner got the chicken korma. The inside was savory and fluffy but the outside was a little soggy which might be from sitting in a box for a 20 minute car ride. I felt like they were just ok compared to others I've had. My partner's chicken korma was our first time ever trying the dish and we really enjoyed it! It was creamy and definitely warmed up our bodies on such a cold day. The chicken was also really tender. Service (5/5): The two girls at the front counter greeted us when we came in and were very kind when taking our order. The food took about 20 minutes to make, which we used to hop next door and get a drink from He Brew. Loved the overall experience!

They offer weekend buffet - with the options they have provided - one of the best value for money buffet available now. There are enough varieties on the offering. Quality was great - food was flavorful as well. I did order ala carte as well. Tried the biriyanis and the indo-chinese options. And their veg & non-veg combo is a real deal. Served with roti, rice, 2 curries and a dessert. It's just $10. Portion is really good, more than enough for one person. That's one of my favorite options on their menu. It's a very spacious restaurant - well maintained. Cleanliness deserves special mention as well. Quite an ambiance as well. I have liked whatever I have tried from here for that last one year. Hopefully they will maintain the quality for longer!

We liked the Chicken 65 Biryani, the rice was flavorful, the Chicken 65 wasn't the usual but tasted good. The standout item for us was the Raagi Mudda w/ Mutton curry. It wasn't the typical Karnataka style Raagi Mudda, we were told it was Andra style, we loved it. We also got Boondi Laddoo, and mixture to go. We loved the Boondi Laddoo, the mixture was okay.
