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.

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

I really like their Fish pakoras but most Importantly the lady is extremely rude with a very bad attitude, absolutely not for the business. Honestly and Humbly speaking I was 10 to 15 minutes late last time I visited because of two glasses of wine and I apologized for it.Tonight I was craving for some fish Pakoras and some Indian Beer, but the lady OMG. I will never visit this restaurant ever again in my life. If you’re a local American you can get the best possible service I bet.?Foundation of Food service Industry is Customer Service. If you don’t know the Ethics of Food Service Industry , then you better look for something else.And I realized the BAR AREA is only for Non Muslims. If you’re a Muslim and go for a Drink by mistake then you will Experience something really really Pakistani.Folks Try KABAB HOUSE in Kirkland. Lazeez taste and wonderful professional Customer Service. Very down to earth management and staff I believe it’s Family owned.Best of luck.

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!

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.
