Charming

With an ingredient-driven focus, global accents and nuances, the menu is a commitment to simplicity and purity of flavor, a philosophy our new ownership firmly believes in. The menu is an expression of the finest available meats and vegetables, nearly all of which we procure fresh. Drawing inspiration from each corner of the Indian subcontinent, from northern plains to southern coast, we offer a diverse and dynamic experience for our guests.

In addition to traditional Indian favorites such as tikka masalas and biriyanis, Bay Leaf Modern Cuisine & Bar offers modern tantalizing twist on Indian delicacies. Unique additions to the menu such as a perfectly grilled sumptuous desi burger, succulent tangy kababs, completely re-imagined and modernized appetizer selection, complete with signature dishes such as raspberry paneer tikka and tamarind glazed short ribs will leave you craving for more !

Went for lunch and had driven in from Atlanta for a different reason. Made a reservation for noon but forgot about time change, so was pretty quiet. We both decided to have the buffet. Tandoori chicken and shrimp were both tasty, though prepared a little differently than I had seen. One of the chicken dishes was tasty as well. On the negative side, naan was cold (they brought out fresh when I asked) and one of the dishes was very sour. Overall, pretty good value and food was decent. Bathroom must be shared with other tenants, not a pleasant experience.

The food was so good! We went for the curry, and it was delicious! I had the Kadhai and my husband the Korma. The rice was nice and fluffy. We got the spices medium, which is like a slow burn, but tolerable. You have to get the Garlic Naan too as goes well with the dish. As for the beer, the Kingfisher has a light flavor, but it's still good. Now the Woodpecker my husband had, and there's a hint of citrus in it and the flavor is breathtaking. Even if you don't know what to order, the staff is very helpful at guiding you. You will not be disappointed.
