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.

Vegetable biriyani had white rice with some sauce on it. We left behind everything we ordered.

I have ordered take out from here on several occasions for special events and the owner is always so kind he has given me free naan and dessert each time. I love this family owned local restaurant.

The service is amazing and I highly recommend trying the fresh kulfi and tasty biriyani. The interior is nice, the food is delicious, and they offer cocktails in a clean environment. My favorite dishes are the Chicken Tikka Masala and Chicken Karahi, and the naan is excellent too. The service is fast and polite, and the restaurant has a colorful and inviting atmosphere. Overall, I highly recommend this restaurant for an excellent dining experience.

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.

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.

The wait time for our food was far too long, as we waited 45 minutes after placing our order. The server, who seemed unhappy with our complaint about the slow service, practically threw our food on the table before quickly leaving. Overall, not the best dining experience given the price and location. However, the garlic naan was a standout and very delicious.

They offer great vegan options such as the aloo gobi (a classic favorite) and a new favorite, veggie karahi. The dishes are delicious, flavorful, and made with high-quality ingredients. The menu includes a vegetarian section for main courses and vegetarian as well as vegan appetizers. The staff is friendly and willing to accommodate any dietary restrictions. Takeout and delivery options are available. Additionally, they have excellent food safety practices. I highly recommend Bay Leaf.
