one of the many places in bhopal offering a fine dining experience, bayleafoffers an indoor as well as outdoor sitting for those who want to enjoy the natural breeze.
ambience: 4 (there was live music being played in the outdoor section)

food: 4 (the veg food was outstanding as compared to the non veg dishes)
note that the menu on zomato is not updated and also make sure that you make a reservation to avoid any hassle as this place gets full easily.
what i ordered:
afghani chicken kebabs: there were 5 kebab servings in one portion, kebabs were soft and delectable, served with traditional mint chutney.
paneer tikka: the vegetarian dishes outperformed and so did the panner tikka, it was soft and fresh and melted in mouth.
lamb galouti kebab: the kebabs were extremely soft however since they were deep fried, i could feel excess oil with every bite. i have had galouti kebabs at many other restaurants however it did not taste upto my expectations at bay leaf.
mutton rara: the mutton was well cooked, gravy was made of minced mutton and tomato paste, overall a good dish.
dal makhani: this was the star dish of the night, popular among people who visit very often. the dal had a hint of sweetness however it still managed to make me forget the lamb and chicken and finish my meal with this dish. a highly recommended must have when dining at bay leaf!
breads: we ordered lachha parantha which was a little heavy and pudina parantha which was crisp and fresh.
overall a good experience.
