Excellent authenticated food... chicken and mutton are very nice
The food is excellent but the service needs improvement
Nice casual restaurant very busy with takeaway orders so waiting for a while in restaurant Good Indian cuisine and good variety .my guests from Dubai enjoyed meal
Good indian food place. If you like cricket then they will always have it on tv
Butter chicken with cashews is good
Chicken tikka BOTI masala is great with rogni naan. Make sure u tell them u want boti.
Really good Indian food. My favorite is the chicken tikka. The people are really nice with great, affordable food. Always my go to in fordsberg
Flavoursome food prepared fresh and quick. Sevice is good. The chicken tikka is a must. Also worth trying the lamb Kalia and Chicken Bhoti Masala
We had the most delicious curries, not to mention the mango lassies! Authentic Indian meals in an easy going family restaurant, we will definitively be back.
This came highly recommended over the restaurants in the north of Jhb for good Indian cuisine. Located in Fordsburg on one of the busiest streets, location is definitely not ideal, but it was certainly worth the effort. Ordered a takeaway variety which included the usual suspects bryani and chicken Tikka amongst other dishes. All were flavourful and absolutely delicious. Definitely some of the best Indian food around. P.s. I don't think they have a mild/medium/hot option as all were quite spicy after asking for mild options. Would definitely be back when the curry crave kicks in once again.
Did a takeaway of chicken tikka and butter chicken curry. Wow. Fantastic meal, full of flavour and worth the 40km drive.
Now I know what butter chicken should taste like. Well done Bay Leaf.
Authentic Indian/Pakistani food at a fraction of the price paid in similar establishments. Great service and mouth watering dishes. I recommend the Butter Chicken- you'll eat more even if you are full!
The best chicken tikka in South Africa by far. The prices are next to nothing. Extremely good value for money! I go here every weekend and I crave the tikka throughout the week. I could literally eat it every day and not get bored.
A decent Indian/Pakistani restaurant with very affordable pricing. The biryani is superb, perhaps the best I'e had. Their Jalfrezi is more like a sweet-sour stir-fry. Location and parking facilities are not so great.
Very nice restaurant for some quick and tasty food.
A mixture of grills ,curries and various other items.
Food was good 👍
Service was excellent 👌.
Definitely worth it and will go back again.
Parking was a bit of an issue but it's okay.
Restaurant is halaal too. Pricing was very good as well.
I have been coming here for almost 10 years now. There butter chicken is so good. The staff are friendly and very quick to get orders out without compromising quality.
Definitely recommend 👌
I believe I'm somewhat of a connoisseur when it comes to a good curry and I've frequented Bay Leaf for a number of years. They have never disappointed me or any of my guests and their food is always delicious.
Excellent service and excellent food. You can suggest this place to anyone, they'll never be disappointed. They prepare the most amazing Tikka. The food is always delicious, whatever you order is good.
freindly environment, very good food, very reasonable price. neat and clean place.
This is my go too for perfect Indian food, the briyani and the mixed grill are the best in Joburg in my opinion.
We used to visit the market further down the street until someone recommended Bay Leaf...
It’s hard to spot if you don’t know where it is, so just look for PizzaHut or Wimpy while driving through Mint Road...
The food is awesome...do not, however, order the Hot flavoured items(rather choose mild) if you’re not a fan of spicy foods because IT WILL BURN YOU!
My go-to’s are the Butter Chicken with Cashew Nut, Chicken/Mutton Korma, Chicken/Mutton Bunny Chow, and their Chicken Tikka...
Their Bombay Crush is also pretty good...we were a party of 6 so instead of ordering 6 individual glasses of BC, we opted to get the Jug which filled all 6 glasses...that saved us R90...
Pros:
•The food is delicious
•There is almost always seating(Fridays are busier towards the evening)
•The food is served hot with a few extra sauces on the side (free of charge)
•They’re affordable
•They are opened til late
•Food is prepared fast if you opt for a Take-away instead of Dining-in
Cons:
•Food May take some time to get to your table if you’re dining-in
•There is not enough parking so you’re going to have to park in an adjacent street/alley...this gets worse on Fridays/Saturdays
•There’s only 2 bathrooms (1 Male & 1 Female) so just be weary.
A little side note:
Please be patient with the waiters. English isn’t their first language so they’re not going to get your order correct if you talk fast, keep changing your mind, ask for something that isn’t on the menu(I’ve heard people ask for Deep Fried Ice Cream), etc.
I rated it 4 stars because although the food is great, you somehow always have thoughts regarding whether your car is safe, should you find another place to park it, etc...
Very nice place. Food is tasty and staff friendly. Huge portions of food per serving. Salad is fresh.
Best Chicken Tikka in Johannesburg... I recommend a take away though, sit down experience isn't great...
The best Chicken Tikka I've tasted in Johannesburg, and the Chicken Tikka Masala is to die for, love it!
