Laura, Linda and Jenny had a lunch meeting in November 2025 and enjoyed their buffet. Then, they joined us as a Feed BHM partner which means they give all their food overages to care for the people of Birmingham. Support great people who love our city!
Bayleaf was a whole experience! The staff was so friendly, the decor was stunning, and the food was all seriously 10/10. Pro tip- go with friends and split EVERYTHING so you can try it all. And make sure you try the tamarind jalapeño margarita. Seriously unlike anything you’ve ever had.
Buffet food was not warm and I got there right when they opened. It was room temp at best. Service was nice though. Just started working about a couple of blocks away and was hoping to have a good Indian restaurant to eat at on a regular basis.
