They offer fantastic vegan dishes such as Aloo Gobi (a classic favorite) and my new go-to, Veggie Karahi. The ingredients are of excellent quality and the flavors are simply delicious. The menu includes a section dedicated to vegetarian options for main dishes, as well as vegetarian and vegan appetizers. The staff is friendly and readily available to answer any questions you may have. Online ordering for delivery or takeout is available for convenience. Additionally, they have received an excellent food safety rating. I highly recommend Bay Leaf for a great dining experience.

I came shortly after the high noon lunch rush, luckily having the restaurant to myself. I had light, engaging conversation with theowners, Rani and her husband as my lunch was prepared. They are from Lahore. They were surpised I knew where they're from inPakistan and how famous Lahore is for their biriyanis. I usually order food from them through Grubhub. I decided to go in toexperience the ambience. I was not disappointed. Loved the heavy wood from the tables to the chairs and the bar area. All myfood was freshly made to order. The only constructive feedback I have is my mango lemonade was underwhelming. It tasted of drinkmix. I think some fresh elements could have been introduced like lemons, mangoes or homemade lemonade. I would love toexperience their same passion for food to carry through to their beverage offerings. Overall, I will return and bring friends.

If you are in the area eat here! This is THE BEST Indian food I have ever had. And the owners are amazingly nice! 10/10 will be eating here all the time read more If you are in the area eat here!

I ordered a malai kofta, a dish typically rich with dry fruits and a sauce garnished with cream and coriander. What I received was likely pre-made/frozen balls with unknown ingredients, lacking the desired dry fruits or stuffed paneer. It was unappetizing and not worth eating, let alone photographing. The ambiance is decent for Bothell, but I would not recommend dining there for the food quality.

The Baba Ganoush and Dolmathes were delicious and I especially enjoyed the crunchy and flavorful onion rings. The tea tasted authentic and the ambience of the restaurant was lovely. The only downside was that our main course, which included rice, chicken, and vegetables, was a bit average. However, I appreciated that the food seemed to be prepared from scratch, which may explain the extra time it took to receive our meals. Overall, a good dining experience.
