I tried the Ulavacharu soup--absolutely delicious. It's main ingredient is horse gram, which apparently is in the legume family. It wasn't like any soup I've had before, so description is a bit tough. It was fairly spicy to start with, but less so as I kept eating it. The only things I could identify was ground up horse gram, some sweet onions, and some thinly shaved ginger, but it had a lot of complexity. Highly recommend that and the rose milk (especially if you need some relief from the spiciness when you start out.) I had a little bit of my friend's butter chicken sauce, and that was excellent too. More heavily tomato-based than I'm used to, but a lot of depth of flavor. I'd happily order that in the future. I can't wait to come back and try their buffet when my diet restrictions are over :) Service was great. I asked if a few of the menu items have coconut in them since I'm allergic, and our server double checked with the kitchen for me and was very nice about it. Really pretty dining room as well. The location isn't as central as I'd like, but that does make it easy to find parking in the lot. Definitely recommend!

We ordered a variety of dishes to share, all of which had generous portions: - Aloo tikki chaat - prepared and served fresh, this street food delicacy was a delight to try and a great start to our meal. - Spinach pakoras were crunchy, hot and tasty. Our party of 4 devoured this appetizer. - Hariyali Chicken Kebab - this was not what I expected. It was served with a gravy like a curry, when I'd expected a dry kebab dish from the grill. It was not my favorite. - Malai Kofta - yum! Not oily, just perfect. - Aloo Naan - very good, though I would've preferred paratha and was surprised that parathas weren't on the menu in a Punjabi restaurant. Ambiance is nothing to write home about. If you are craving a good, authentic north Indian meal with warm service, Bayleaf is a must visit.

From fan favorites like Pani Puri and Seb puri and pav bhaji to the signature Bombay Sandwich and Puri Bhaji and Chole and Parathas, this place has the tastiest offerings.

They have carrot halwa which is just incredible desert. Vada Pav is another amazingly done dish. The gentleman taking orders feels like your uncle Ben in how calm and friendly he is.

It's a shame too, especially because the food is decent. Packed with flavor, aromatic, and satisfying. The beverages (when you get them) are okay, and the pitcher of lukewarm water will not be poured for you because nothing says "fine dining" like inattentive waitstaff. If you're expecting a "fine dining" experience in a strip mall, set your expectations to somewhere between a marginally reputable fast food chain and eating a can of whole chicken cracked open with a rock, spear, and sprinkled with a dash of hard luck. Mmmmm.... classy! Oh! Customer service doesn't matter to you? Then you'll loooove this place. No interest in the waitstaff actually taking your order in a timely fashion? This is the spot for you. Overpriced meals served in piecemeal to a 3 top, appetizers served well after one entre is nearly finished while the other two meals are still likely being staged? Is that to your liking? Get yourself to Mama Bros where your time and money will be flushed down the toilet! Oh, but wait... The best part of your experience will be the menu. Wow! How incredibly inefficient and confusing it is! Don't let the QR code fool you into thinking your menu will make sense; just ride that long scroll to the very bottom where you can order takeout meals and then scroll all the way back up to somewhere over the rainbow. What a journey! So, yeah, that's what you're in for. How can this place improve? Maybe try shutting down permanently and trying again elsewhere. That would be a strong start.

The place was clean,…read morewell-maintained, and had a pleasant ambiance--definitely a step up compared to many other Indian restaurants in town. The menu was quite extensive, offering a good variety of traditional and fusion dishes. We appreciated seeing some new and interesting items that aren't typically available elsewhere. The appetizers were a highlight--everything we ordered was flavorful and well-prepared. The soya chaap, in particular, stood out with its texture and seasoning; it was easily one of the best dishes of the night. For the main course, we tried the beet kofta. While it sounded promising and was presented nicely, the taste was just average--not something we'd order again. We also ordered a kids' portion of vegetable Hakka noodles, which surprisingly turned out to be quite spicy despite being from the kids' menu. It might be worth the kitchen considering a milder version for younger palates. That said, the adults at the table actually enjoyed it, so the flavor profile was still solid--just not kid-friendly. When it came to drinks, we were intrigued by the creative cocktail menu. Unfortunately, the server assisting us seemed unfamiliar with the drinks and couldn't explain the ingredients or make recommendations. I did try one of the cocktails, but it turned out to be quite disappointing--lacking both balance and flavor. The dining space is suitable for families and groups, with enough room to feel comfortable. They also have a attached space for parties available to rent . And a bakery / to-go food section to grab desserts or any other quick bites if you wanna grab and go !

The samosas are excellent, crispy and served piping hot alongside both tamarind chutney and cilantro chutney for a sweet, savory, and spicy contrast. My biggest disappointment, however, is that the veggie momo cannot be made vegan. They're stuffed with cheese, which isn't mentioned on the menu. I'm grateful that they're informed and honest about it, but that was my main motivation for visiting. At least, the veggie thupka was tasty, like a meatless version of chicken noodle soup. Comforting, unchallenging, and probably good for kids, too. For the more adventurous, the aloo gobi is not messing around; even the medium spice has a nice bite to it. There only appeared to be one waitress working so service was very slow. Order ahead, or plan to make it a night.

There were barely any people on a Saturday night which made us feel a little apprehensive after stepping in. The restaurant was dimly lit and restrooms were dirty. We were a group of 4 people, two of whom are Maharashtrian and know what the food tastes like. Comments for individual dishes: Vada pav - Not served with Mumbai pav but slider buns which is as unauthentic as can be. Sabudana vada - Crispy, tasted good, served with sweet yogurt. Pithla bhari - The worst I have ever had. Pithla was too runny, bhakri was downright stale/unedible. Pomfret fry - Fish skin was burnt, but taste was better than some of the other dishes. Puran poli - It was super thin, barely any puran filling and seemed to have been served after quick heating rather than fresh, the edges were unedible. Saoji chicken curry - Too much garam masala Triple Schezwan fried rice - This was the best dish among all those we ordered. It was served with manchurian gravy. A humble request to the restaurant management - please serve edible, authentic Maharashtrian dishes or remove them from the menu rather than misleading people.
