We'll be back, for sure, and love the various spicy levels for the patrons. We love spice, and it is available in spades here.

Bawarchi is my go-to Indian restaurant in Hoover. They offer a great selection of traditional…read moreIndian dishes, and on weekends they sometimes feature special, authentic items that aren't always available. My favorite appetizers are the Chicken 65 and the Vegetarian Samosas. The Chicken 65 consists of bite-sized pieces of chicken breast that are fried and then tossed in a spicy sauce. It's served with chopped red onion and a cilantro garnish, making it perfect for sharing at the table. The Vegetarian Samosas are deep-fried pastries filled with green peas, potatoes, and Indian spices, with a noticeable curry flavor. They're served with a brown, tamarind-based dipping sauce that pairs perfectly with the filling. One entrée we love sharing is the dosa. A dosa is a lightly fried crepe, and there are about a dozen variations, each with different fillings and spice combinations. The dosas are served with several sides for dipping or eating with pieces of the crepe. The Tandoori Chicken Tikka Kebab is another favorite. The chicken is marinated, baked in a clay oven, and brought out steaming hot on a sizzling platter. In addition to the dishes mentioned, Bawarchi offers many other classic Indian favorites. One word of warning: if you order spicy, they mean it--the heat level can definitely light you up!

We stopped here on the way to Tennessee, after reading so many great reviews…read more The location is confusing but the inside interior is really nice and cozy. The customer service was very slow. The restaurant was completely empty when we arrived but the person at the front desk completely ignored us for about 5 minutes slowly walking back and forth to the kitchen and then placing mango lassi in the fridge. Finally she came to greet us (she seemed a bit bothered and wasn't the friendliest person), bring waters and take our order. We ordered papadam (we thought it will be brought out first as an appetizer as usually) few dishes to share and drinks. We had to wait long time (at least 15-20 minutes), then I asked if it's possible to get our drinks before the food comes, as it seemed like they forgot about them (it's just a glass of wine!) Finally the food came almost at the same time with drinks, and then we got papadam later. Papadam comes plain - no sauces on the side, as in most other Indian restaurants. Just a note, to take that in mind. Maybe have to order separate. But... Food was very flavourful! We did not like the chicken kebab - it was just looking odd and tasted weird. We were also told it's all white meat but it was definitely a mix. We asked about it, but the employee just shrugged her shoulders and said should be white meat and left. She was very much in "uninterested, I don't care" mood. We thought she went to kitchen to ask and will come back but she didn't. Chana Masala was WAY too salty but flavourful. Butter Chicken was the only dish I really liked. It was very flavourful and I liked the cinnamon touch in it (also Chana Masala had that nice cinnamon touch, if it wasn't for that salt!). So Butter Chicken was amazing, I would highly recommend it. Also, beware there is no air conditioning in this restaurant. It was 93F outside so we definitely wished for some air conditioner.

The taste of all the food was really terrible. Nothing looked freshly cooked. Chicken 65 supposedly their signature dish was dry and over cooked. PLEASE PAY ATTENTION TO WHAT YOU SERVE!!

I've purchased packages from stores and heated them at home and enjoyed my spiced, crispy snack. The Saffron Papads have now ruined my home snack because it can't touch the crispy ones from Saffron. I'm cool with that. I will definitely be a Saffron regular.

The boneless short ribs were tender, flavorful, and delicious. Served with a little shredded lettuce, they disappeared quickly! For our entrees, we decided to order family-style so everyone could sample a variety of dishes. We chose the Chicken Rogan Josh, Aloo Gobhi Matar, Bay Leaf Kebab Sizzler, and two orders of Garlic Naan. Everything was delicious, but the Kebab Sizzler was especially impressive. It features a combination of seasoned meat and seafood served on a sizzling cast-iron pan. The steam, aroma, and presentation were fantastic, and it was as good as it looked. Overall, Bay Leaf was a great choice for dinner. The food was flavorful, portions were generous, and ordering family-style allowed us to enjoy a nice variety of dishes. Definitely worth a visit if you're looking for good Indian food!

The brown sauce was amazingly sweet but spicy - definitely our favorite of the two. We chose chicken tikka masala, chicken tandoori, and vegetable korma as our entrees. This came with a serving of basmati rice. We thought this was a great combo of things - chicken in a sauce - chicken fire grilled and on the bone - and veggies in a sauce. We'd recommend all 3 of these and would get the exact same thing again! We are huge fans of garlic naan, so of course we both had to get an order of that. The "Dinner for Two" for $54.99 included all of this and a bottle of wine! It says that this is their special Tuesday-Thursday. Service was extremely friendly and parking was no issue. It's in a shopping center off Lorna Road. We will definitely be back!
