After eating here for years changing my review to 2 stars due to declining service and food quality.
Even if you order ahead of time with a pickup time in place you will wait 20+ minutes for the order to be ready. And then you will get home and find that they missed something.
Avoid at all costs.

This review is based on Take out experience only and is weighted positively due to the delicious food.
Since moving to Eagan a few years ago we have gotten take out from Bay leaf many times.
The vegetarian food is consistently delicious and flavorful. I ordered a fish dish once and will probably stick to the veggie options not because it was bad but because the vegetarian options are better.
Malai Kofta and Tandoori paneer with Samosas and garlic naan are our favorites. We usually try to get one of those entrees and try something else as our second entree to mix it up. I do wish for a few more Malai Kofta balls in that dish since there’s so much sauce it would be nice to have a few more to go with all of that delicious sauce.
A few things about the online ordering through the Bay Leaf website: 1. it would be great to have full menu descriptions like in the website menu in the ordering software to make it easier to know what is in each dish - I have some must avoid foods and some nice to avoid foods so that would make ordering more efficient. 2. The last time we ordered the site gave us the next available scheduled time and when I arrived to pick it up at that time a gentleman informed me that the food was sitting there done for 20 minutes because they don’t get the scheduled pick up time for the order with the order- he highly recommended calling after ordering online to find out when it will be done. I highly recommend they figure that out and change the system as it’s really not ideal to require online ordering shoppers to call and set a pick up time too! If I schedule a pick up time I expect it will be available and fresh at the scheduled time. If a ASAP option can be added that would be great for folks who aren’t trying to schedule a specific time and then they should be able to message you the pick up time instead of requiring a second point of contact from the customer.

I rarely drop reviews but i had to do it because the food is super bad.& Not fresh-I wouldn’t mind spending money on my buffet but not one of the items were good. If you are considering this place to give a try. I would ask you to stay away from it. Taste -0 Freshness of food - 0

I tried the buffet and food was not fresh, there was no salad and they used too much red coloring on the tandoori chicken and fried fish. Dessert was okay.

Some of the items are really good like chole bature and daal, but veg biryani and paneer masala only has color and chilli in it. It's a hit or a miss when you order. We get emails with offers for buy one get one on selected items and dosa night, but when we reached there, they said they don't have the offer anymore. We received emails few days before going and we received email again the next day after we went with same offers. I suggest don't give the offer if you can't afford it and update your emails weekly and stick to it for at least for a week.

I got the butter chicken and garlic naan today and it’s unbelievably good! Will be back!
Beautiful restaurant. Cozy atmosphere. Kind and attentive staff. Food is amazing. Went here with my brother and niece a couple weeks ago everything was so perfect. Had a lot of leftovers, but when the ran out I was already missing it. So I took my friend here for a late birthday present tonight and we both loved it. It's so good. I can't recommend it enough.

We went with our team 15 mins before closing. They were kind enough to take the order and served without hesitation. The one who took our order hasn't shown any reaction to our last minute arrival. We really appreciate the response and the tasty food.
Great food and service! Must visit. Kulvir greeted and presented food well. Must visit!

We came shortly before the lunch closed and didn’t realize the restaurant was we closing soon. The staff were super accommodating and let us finish our meal without rushing us. The service was superb. The portions were generous and they actually listened to me when I said I wanted my entree to be really spicy. Overall, it was a great experience and we will come back.
