Writing this review as I am sitting in the restaurant. The food here is amazing. We specifically asked for Indian spicy level and we got what we asked for. I wished I was staying here so I’d have tried all the dishes on the menu. If you want authentic Indian taste do visit More

I visited Bay Leaf Ulladulla with my family last time, and it was such a lovely experience. From the moment we arrived, the staff welcomed us warmly and spoke very humbly, which made us feel comfortable right away. The food was absolutely delicious full of flavour and beautifully cooked. What really touched me was that even the head chef came to our table to ask if everything was okay or if anything was missing. I smiled and told him honestly that it was one of the best tastes I’ve ever had. Getting such authentic Indian food so far away from Sydney was truly special. At the end, they even surprised us with an extra tasting treat, which was very kind of them. Amazing service, amazing food.we will definitely visit again.

The food was surprisingly good. The flavors are on point and fresh. The atmosphere was basic if you are dining in. Definitely recommend based on the tasty food! I am guessing they changed their chef based on older reviews. More

Takeaway food was exceptional. Absolutely first class quality home style and authentic Indian food. Highly, highly recommended (and we are extremely fussy), we have hardly ever logged on to review anything ever or anywhere, but this place really deserves it!!! Can’t wait to return.

We ordered take away for our whole friends and family. The restaurant is very small but is near the ulladula city center. Food was delicious and not expensive. When we went for take away it was just the restaurant owner / chef and no other staff. More

Flavours are good. Although, every time I order takeaway it is like they use the off cuts of meat for their dishes. On numerous occasions I have ordered from there, every second mouthful of chicken was gristle or cartilage. Sometimes pieces of bone. Dining in may be different but it is off putting. More
