Reviews Bay Leaves

Excellent food, delivered hot and fresh as always - thank you!

Well, I had a Lamb Pathia and let me tell you it was the bestest spices in a curry I have tasted for a while! I'm in food comma heaven 😇 Thankyou very much for all it. XX

I came to. Gosport from Liverpool for 7 days and i go there very very amazing taste i really appreciate it must try

My favourite Curry House in Gosport, always quick delivery and food always hot and delicious.

Looking at the reviews on here being mixed, we went and ordered set menu B. We have had a regular indian takaway in Fareham. We were greeted in this takaway by a great attitude and smile. Food was being cooked and came out in a lovely thankyou bag. When we got home the quantity was perfect and the taste was out of this world. I have never tasted an indian Takeaway so full of authentic flavours. Price was good as well. See you again

Another Indian takeaway. This is the first time I've tried Bay Leaves, and having my favourites in Gosport I was ready to be completely biased towards them... especially since it's in the same road. Delivery was pretty quick, I ordered my usual lamb madras and keema rice - it makes it nice and easy to compare. Delivery was quick, and the driver was retreating to the car already before I'd opened the door, probably because he didn't use the doorbell so it took a minute for me to gather he was tapping the door while I was crapping my pants in the dark watching The Unholy - which is actually pretty good. We paused it. We dished up. I have an issue with some restaurants and lamb and my last review for a chinese lamb was... vulgar... but true. The lamb was lush. Lush lamb and cooked perfectly. Cant fault it - fablamb. The madras tasted of madras, and very nice too, Bay Leaves doesn't go too heavy on the spices so it was quite mild, which I dont mind, for a change. It was delicious, and if you want that bit of an extra kick I'd add the extra heat in for an extra 50p when you're ordering which is great idea. Curry isn't about heat, it's about flavour and I have to say I'd definitely have it again. The keema rice was probably the nicest flavoured keema rice I've had, it was really good with perfectly cooked rice, great seasoning and lovely lamb mince. Summary: Torn between 3 and 4 stars. As I've read in other reviews the curry was VERY oily, when I dished up I scooped lamb and sauce from the oil and left a sizeable puddle in the tray. Not attractive at all and unnecessary, if they made a bit of an effort when decanting it would make the whole experience so much better. The popadoms weren't great either but edible, and most deliveries from any restaurant will be hit and miss depending on when they were made. In the end, 4 stars, because other than working around the oil slicks the food was really good. I'll be ordering from them again at some point.
