The Bayleaf in Koramangala has recently undergone a makeover so unwittingly I expected that the food would have improved! The interiors are nice except for the still-new paint/varnish smell.
The beverages are average. I ordered a mock tail called Fantasy which was described as guava juice with a hint of ginger and what I got was a spicy, strongly ginger flavored guava juice.
I had to struggle to finish it. The chicken shorba was laced with a lot of cardamom.The mutton and fish malai kabab I ordered was again very cardamomy.
The Kashmiri pulao was just yellow rice tossed with pineapple and dry fruits.
Initially the restaurant was empty and service was good.By the time we wanted to order the main course, we had to tell a dozen waiters a dozen times.The staff doesnt seem to know the menu very well.
Reservations aren’t necessary. The restaurant always seems to have a no. of empty tables.
The mutton curry I had was however the only good thing about the entire visit. All in all a very average experience and an overpriced one at that! Not really worth it!
