    We enjoyed the Indian dishes we selected. The lamb in the lamb biryani was so moist and tender. It was a good amount of lamb. The lamb curry sauce was good, eating it with the fluffy and fragrant basmati rice. The Amritsari fish tikka came out on a sizzling platter. The fish was flaky, soft and delicious! The garlic naan was garlicky delicious! The waitress came to check on us a couple of times. Even the chef came out to greet us and of course we let him know how delicious the dishes were. The restaurant was clean. I liked the lighting with the hanging lights over our table. It felt cozy and relaxing. They had a wall of portraits on one side of the restaurant and a bicycle on another wall. There are free parking stalls in front of the restaurant. They have two restrooms.

    I've previously reviewed them. Been here 3 or 4x. This is the best Indian place in Fresno.

    Came here for the first time for my SIL's bday and it did not disappoint. Everything, and I mean everything we ordered was absolutely delicious. I was shocked at the bill because we ordered 10+ dishes and it wasn't too expensive. One of the best Indian food I've ever had and I will be going back with my family. Give this place a try and you will be coming back. Service was great, and the wait for the food was pretty quick. I just wish they were closer to me, but other than that...so so good!

    They were hair in Hakka noodles

    We went to BAY LEAF after really long time. Let me tell you the service & food was really bad. I ordered HAKKA NOODLES for my son without any spice but it was really spicy & before I serve to my son there were hair in the food. They used to be really good with the service & food but it was really worse to eat there. NEVER EVER GOING BACK

    Tandoori chicken

    This is such a hidden gem! The food was delicious, hot, and fresh. My son had the paneer wrap which was huge, and my husband had the goat kadai, and I had tandoori chicken. The portions were generous and the prices good and the chef even came out herself to make sure the food was tasty. I highly recommend this restaurant.

    Aloo gobi

    Second time we've been here and we wanted to try a few new things. Food this time was as delicious as before. Ambiance is still very cute and eclectic -- we enjoyed the Indian music playing. The service is still friendly and excellent -- food came out extremely fresh and hot and clearly wasn't sitting around. We miss the fun robot a bit -- but we assume that was just due to covid and it's no longer needed. One new item we tried this visit was onion bhaji as an appetizer with a couple of different chutneys. This arrived to the table hot and crispy and perfectly cooked. We haven't tried these before but they reminded us of onion rings, but with Indian seasonings. They weren't in "ring" form though. The onions were perfectly cooked -- not under- or overcooked. And the batter was light and crispy. Those were great. Another new item we tried here was shahi paneer and it compared favorably to shahi paneer we've had at other places -- paneer cubes in a delicious creamy sauce with a bit of a bite to it (we ordered everything "medium" spice). The garlic naan was a highlight -- just the perfect combination of crispy and chewy and slightly charred. The aloo gobi was excellent -- because it is not a "sauced" dish, at some places the aloo gobi can be a little too dry or bland -- but this aloo gobi was cooked with plenty of oil and onions and was really delicious. We'll definitely continue to come back here.

    So there is so many restaurants in Fresno, but this one hits different customer service is on point. I love the chef here chef brought us to the fish it was top notch butter chicken ,goat curry the garlic bread the main point is when the staff is nice take care of you what ever you need 10/10 thank you so for hospitality

    Garlic naan
    Larry D.

    Wow! Stopped in for their lunch buffet on a weekday and I was really impressed. Not a huge variety, but everything was excellent. Pakora was crispy, chicken korma was not dry, tandoori chicken was super flavorful. The people working there were very nice. $14.99 gets you all you can eat entrees, naan (I got garlic) and a drink (I got a mango lassi. I think this is one of the better deals around.

    Naughty Chicken Naan

    First time eating there tonight and I was very impressed! Ordered garlic naan, samosas, butter chicken. Everything was spiced nicely (I chose medium) and chicken was tender. Service was excellent and attentive. Decor was really cute!

    I love bay leaf! Best restaurant in town!!!

    This restaurant is very professional "I'm absolutely blown away by the incredible dining experience at Bay Leaf Indian Kitchen! The moment I walked in, I was greeted with warm hospitality and inviting aromas that set the tone for a fantastic meal. The service was top-notch - attentive, knowledgeable, and friendly staff made sure we felt right at home. But the real star of the show was, of course, the food! Each dish we ordered was expertly prepared, presented, and packed with depth of flavor. From the tender, fall-off-the-bone meats to the rich, velvety sauces and perfectly balanced spices, every bite was a masterclass in Indian cuisine. Portion sizes were generous, and prices were very reasonable considering the exceptional quality and care that clearly goes into every aspect of this restaurant. If you're a fan of Indian food - or just great food in general - do yourself a favor and get to Bay Leaf Indian Kitchen ASAP! Five stars, ten stars, a million stars... it's not enough to capture just how amazing this place is!"

    Beautifully decorated.

    A hidden gem! Very clean and nicely organized, I loved the decor as well. This was my first time here but not my last. The wait wasn't too long at all. Now the food, the food the food the food! I order spicy biryani chicken and tandoori chicken, it was soooo juicy and flavorful. As a Mexican, I love spicy everything! Check them out it's worth it.

    If you're craving authentic Indian flavors, Chatore is an absolute must-visit. We had an amazing…read moretime here--from the warm atmosphere to the incredible food, everything was spot on. The standout for us was definitely the chole bhature--perfectly spiced, rich, and paired with soft, fluffy bhature that just melted in your mouth. The nutri kulcha was another highlight, packed with flavor and cooked just right. To top it off, the masala soda was refreshingly tangy and a great complement to the meal. And don't miss the fish pakore--crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and bursting with flavor. Overall, Chatore delivers a fantastic dining experience with truly delicious food. Can't wait to come back and try more from the menu!

    First time I've ever ran to Yelp to review!…read more First point and most important... WHY is everyone talking about the prices? Not only is this on par for Indian food. It's a lot more affordable than other restaurants. $5 for three Samosas? That's a killer appetizer for cheap! And they're good--some places put way too much seasoning on the outside. The menu: A lot more variety, and compared to other Indian restaurants the menu is easy to navigate and very Anglicized for newcomers to Indian food. The food: I accidentally ordered the wrong sandwich(I had seen the tikka roll on Yelps ig) and I got the tandoori sandwich but I am not complaining that was amazing and I didn't even know it came with fries. Butter chicken was medium and it was perfectly creamy, slightly spicy, soooo much sauce which is perfect because I dipped my sandwich AND samosas in there. I am so stuffed and I have food left for days(which is great bc if I love anything more than Indians food it's cold Indian leftover straight from the fridge) The service was great, young girl at the front was so sweet and helpful when I said it was my first time. Worth spending my money here at a family owned restaurant that serves up awesome food in a clean and open space--a must try!

I also tried the dahl and it was really comforting and well seasoned. open until 10:30pm is such a win. Indian food at 9pm on a weeknight because I didn't feel like cooking? yes absolutely. the late hours alone make this a regular spot for me. the menu is big which I love, lots of vegetarian options too which my friends always appreciate when we're picking a place everyone can eat at. portion sizes are generous and prices are completely fair for what you get. Riverside Dr location is easy to find, parking is fine. owe my coworker an apology for waiting this long.

The folks who run this place seem to really care about the quality of the food and the experience the guests have. Unlike our first visit on Valentine's Day which was very busy, we came back on a weekend evening this fall, and there were only a couple other diners. It seems like "the new normal" is that most business for these mom-and-pop type restaurants appears to be by Doordash, Grubhub, UberEats -- even if they're making plenty of sales, very few people come in and sit down. It's odd. You can no longer judge how good a restaurant will be by how many people are seating having dinner on a Saturday night. But despite not very many people dining in, it's a comfortable, welcoming, clean space. Everything was still fresh, delicious, and very similar to last time, EXCEPT: The main update I wanted to give is that the little "glitches" I noticed when the place was brand new are all gone now. This is just as I expected, but I wanted to let Yelpers know this. So yes, this time the got everything we ordered, we got sauces with the appetizer, and we were given full-size dinner plates. Love those black lentils. Everyone: go eat them!

I could've easily spent an hour shopping in there. But I ended up trying their Samosa Chaat dish as I've favored that at other Indian counters before. I waited for about 10 minutes and it was ready. I took it to go and had drove about 10 minutes. By the time I was able to enjoy it, it was cold sadly. The flavors were there but I think eating it there was a better option.

Just walking in to New India Sweets and Spices is a magical experience! Let your eyes feast on the myriad of colorful sweets to your right, including gulab jamun and other delicacies made with pistachios, cardamom, coconut and other colorful ingredients! Then take your time checking out each aisle. They have a variety of rice imported from India, with several brands of Basmati which is the staple used in Indian Cuisine. Next you'll encounter the pickles and chutneys that normally accompany an Indian meal. My favorite is Mango Chutney. Fresh produce is located to your left and refrigerated & frozen items are in the same area and at the back, including frozen meals such as samosas, curry/rice etc. Then there's Kulfi ice cream, lassi ( yoghurt) drinks, and other dairy essentials. At the very back is the cafe specializing in Chaat, the sweet, spicy Indian Street Food. My go to order is Samosa Chana Chaat; 2 crispy samosas in a bed of chickpeas, smothered in zesty yoghurt sauce, with tomatoes, cilantro topping. Delish!! Aloo Parantha is a kids' favorite; flatbread stuffed with spicy potatoes. Stimulate your palate by browsing the pungent incense sticks while your order is being prepared. Ayurvedic supplements are also available at more reasonable prices than health food stores. They have turmeric, neen and my lifesaver Ashwagandha which reduces stress, and helps painful joints. I am so glad we have this gem of a store here in the heart of the city!
