Bayleaf Whetstone

We liked everything about this restaurant. The decor was very lively, yet the atmosphere was very relaxed and friendly. The food was sublime, not like other similar resturantes. The dishes were unique and of the highest quality.

Absolutely delightful! This being our third visit here, I feel compelled to write utterly favourably of their virtues. Tonight was a quiet night at the restaurant, but even though we were the only ones there for the bulk of our meal, it was not awkward, or uncomfortable. Wait staff were perfect, personable and professional. Friendly advice was given for the dishes and as always it was quite delightful and tasty. This will not be our last visit by any means and when we are in the mood to spoil ourselves with a great night out we would be hard pressed to look any further than the bayleaf. Top marks all round!

I chose this place because it was en-route and the reviews and food options looked good. I was able to change my reservation time on the day, which was handy. The food is nice, not too oily which I liked, and some quirky options too. The Gobi Tree was a complete let down..to pay £9 for a slice of gobi is way too pricey. One item to definitely reconsider..it just looks like a tree but there's nothing much else. On the other hand, the South Indian Spiced Lamb was amazing. I must admit overall there was a lot of green chili in pretty much everything. The veg options in the starters was quite limited. Service was on point and the place is clean. It's right on the high street, so you feel quite exposed. We parked on a side road which was free.
