BAYLEAF Indian Restaurant – Authentic, Fresh, and Flavorful Indian Cuisine in Muncie, IN

This place is amazing. I ordered the chicken special with medium chicken tikka masala, garlic naan, and veggie pakoras. There is another Indian restaurant I swear by and have for years, this was my first time at Bayleaf and it has become my new favorite Indian food spot. Food is fresh, hot, and so so good. Service was amazing, the younger man was very friendly and helpful/informative. Atmosphere is clean and comfortable. 10/10!!!

I have been keeping an eye on this restaurant for many months now, waiting for it to open. They finally did and I tried it today. Delicious chana masala and garlic naan. Water may just be from the tap, but I believe it is filtered, as it was tasty. Yug's service was excellent. I look forward to returning soon to try one of the chefs special dishes.

My girlfriend and I came here for her birthday, the waiter was so incredibly friendly and suggested we try the mango lassi which were absolutely incredible. I had the goat madras and my girlfriend had the lamb tikka masala both of which were so so so delicious. We shared an order of the garlic naan and the tandoori roti which were terrific. All of the food here was outstanding and extremely well priced for the high level of quality of the food. We will absolutely be back again soon to try more I cannot recommend this place enough.

Where to start? The food here is amazing! I got the paneer tikka and my wife got the chicken do-pyaza. Cooked to perfection. The basmati rice was deliciously fragrant. The garlic naan was a perfect balance of fluffy yet crisp, and the flavor was out of this world. But for me, the SAMOSAS WAS A SHOWSTOPPER! 12 out of 10! The tamarind chutney was absoluty devine. The customer service is TOP NOTCH! You can tell that they care very much for pleasing their customers. The atmosphere was great! Very cozy yet modern. The price is great for the amount of food you get. If we are ever back in town, we will undoubtedly return. Bottom line... YOU MUST STOP AT BAYLEAF!!

Apologies for the long review in advance! My partner and I decided to try Bayleaf for a dinner date on November 19th. The restaurant was open while others we checked out were closed, so we decided to eat there. I’m a vegetarian, and she eats kosher, so we often find that Indian restaurants (and restaurants with South Asian food in general) have plenty of options for the both of us. The host and server were very friendly! Our water was never empty, the lighting was not too harsh, and the establishment itself seemed very clean. My only complaint is that we waited quite a while for our meal. I understand that quality food takes time, and when our food came to the table with fresh naan and a healthy serving of rice, I decided this wait was worth it. The spices were incredible, the food was texturally pleasant, and everything went together perfectly. I almost wish I had ordered my palak paneer with a higher spice level — I tend to order medium at Indian restaurants, but the spice was more of a complement to the food than an accessory. The waiter, who I believe also helped in preparing the food, seemed genuinely excited that we enjoyed our meal! He also made sure that everything tasted great and that we had plenty of rice to take home with our leftovers. We will definitely be dining here again!

Stopped by for dinner and had a wonderful meal! I got the chicken biryani and the chicken was tender and flavorful. The rice was perfectly fluffy and the sauce that came with it was delicious. The garlic naan was melt in your mouth goodness. The overall atmosphere was very cozy and the service was excellent. Will absolutely be back to try more from the menu.

Amazing experience start to finish.. our waiter was so nice explaining some of their most popular items, food came out fast and was super tasty my favorite was the samosas chaat. Definitely will be back my new go to for Indian cuisine in Muncie!!!

Beautiful restaurant with wonderful, quick, and friendly service! The food was delicious. I recommend the spicy chicken tikka masala with garlic naan. I can’t wait to go back.
