Its a bengali's paradise in Chennai!! Special Mention : The Bhetki Paturi!!
My favourite place in Chennai. Best Bengali food. I have been there so many times and loved it more every time. We went in a huge group during Durga Puja and they were having theme menu. Perfect. Enjoyed a lot!
I ordered Kausha murgh which was extremely delicious and also my first order from this restaurant. Since i liked the food so much, I ordered again, which was special Lucknow biryani. But to my amazement, food wasn’t upto the mark, it was ok, and quantity was not as per the price. And yes , it wasn’t a Lucknow biryani at all.
Totally loved the food here. One of the best places to try out authentic Bengali food. Loved the mutton curry, fish fry, chicken roll, bhaja plate and dim er dalna. It was wonderful having a koraishutir kochuri with aludum after such a long time. The Daab Chingri could have been better though, found it a little sweet. The Malpua with Rabri was brilliant! The prices on the menu are also quite correct matching the quality. Loved it!
Bayleaf is a Bengali restaurant in Gopalapuram Chennai which is on the high end side unlike petuk. The way they prepare and serve the food however makes the high cost worth it. Their menu includes an array of alleviated as well as simple dishes daab chingri, dhakai chingri or simply fulkopir dalna. Inframe: Baati chochori and rui machher kalia served with steaming bowls of long fragrant rice. If you like pancakes, then this sweet dish will be hard to miss for you! Malpua is a popular dessert recipe of North Indian cuisine and is something that you can prepare easily at home. It is a famous delight during festivals and can be prepared in several ways depending on the region. In frame: Malpua from bayleaf. Absolutely indulging. So I had the pleasure of visiting bayleaf on Ashthami this Durga Puja and try the Sharodiya menu. Here's a shot of golden moong dal with peas accompanied by the iconic chingri machher malai curry.
The place is small but cozy and clean. If you are looking for authentic Bengali food in Chennai this can come nearest to it.
The afternoon started with an average experience as mild spinach soup had no flavor at all, though gosht rassa soup was yummy. And lemon mojito wasn't cold enough. But after that everything was amazing. Bekti Fish Fry (deep crumb fried fish cutlets) and Bekti Paturi (fish steamed in mustard covered in leaves) were well cooked. Though I would have preferred larger portion size for the latter. In mains Luchi and Chholar Dal was good. And Murghir Jhol (Bengali style chicken curry) with Steamed Rice was an excellent combination. And we topped it off with a really yum Mishti Doi in desserts.
Apart from this they served complimentary paan shots at the end, which were good too.
The best Bengali food in Chennai. The food is authentic with almost all bengali food in the menu. Only place were you get the authentic Bengali Katti roll. Ingredients are fresh. I got a sneek peek to the kitchen and must say one of the cleanest kitchen that i have seen by far. Sure is a place for comfort food.
Decent ambience, liked the taste of fish kobiraji. Mutton kosha was good but not authentic, Misti doi - apart from serving in an earthen pot, long way to match the real taste.
Very friendly service and Food was good. Wanted to try their other ala carte dishes.crispy fried lotus stem was awesome liked it alot.ordered Cheese fondue malai paneer tikka but only tikka was presented cheese fondue was missing.. little disappointment there but otherwise food and service was good
I loved the place The food was delicious,i went there for so many times and waiters are humble enough
A good place off the busy Cathedral Road. The food, staff and ambience are much better than in the hotels around. We went after 10pm, the quieter the better when dining. Price-wise it's pocket-friendly as long as you don't order the pebble-sized gulab jamuns - ₹200 for four tiny jamuns and a tablespoon of rabri is more than too much. So, I'll take away one star, for now.
A good place for enjoying a nice bengali cuisine. The dry banana cutlet (mochar chop), aloo poshto (not in menu but they will serve it), pea stuffed puri (koraishuti'r kachori or lucci) and kosha mutton were especially great. The other items are also good, but these above mentioned items are of worth trying. Altough the ambience is mediocre, and service is also average, their quality and taste of food were extremely good and satisfying. It also can't accomodate more than 30 people and they can't sit together too. If ambience and service would have been better it could easily get a 5 star, but food taste is still noticeable.
Kind of the only fine dining Bengali restaurant in town. The prices are a little steep compared to what you get as food. They are kind of playing on their monopoly I would assume.
Certain items are good like their dhokar dalna and mochar chop. I personally don't prefer their chicken dishes, maybe because my mom makes way too good food compared to this. That aside it's a nice cozy place with good interiors. Check out their antic ceiling fan , it runs too !!
Location is quite convenient but parking is less.
If you are in town and badly craving bangali food I would definitely recommend.
One of the best places to eat if you're a bengali. The food, atmosphere and the service is very good.
Had mocha r chop, bhetki r paturi, mutton kosha and chicken biriyani, all of them were very nice and tasty.
The staff is very nice.
If you come here then you should definitely try bhetki r paturi and mocha r chop.
Bayleaf is an authentic Bengali resturant in midst of namma Singara Chennai! Bengalis Are sweet toothed from birth. So let me start with desserts - Gulab Jamun = Yumm, Mishti Doi = Yumm Yumm!
Food is very good. They cook in mustard oil. Non Bengalis please note.
Very good options available in veg and non veg. They also have couple Jain food options. They Have introduced some north indian dishes in the menu. I wish they haven't but it is ok. They also have specials during Durga Puja and Kali Puja.
Service is good. The wait staff are dedicated and have remained the same since the restaurant opened. Do go with their suggestion if you are a first timer. They will suggest you the best combo based on your preference of choice of Veg, meat n spice levels.
I would say it's definitely one of the good restaurants that serves Bengali food and to my surprise I could barely taste the mustard oil! I think that's because they have fine-tuned the food for the people of Chennai. The food tasted good and service was okay. I definitely had a good time :)
Excellent food. Quality and quantity very good. 😍 Service is also very good.
This is best place I have visited, this is my 5th Visit in this place and the taste will always gives me the feeling of my home. And the staffs are always kinds and great we are always happy to visit here ❤️ In one worth of money❤️
Authentic bengali good in chennai with good ambience. Must visit with families . Space is small and difficult to get seats , so book in advance . Parking is difficult due to narrow road, but sometimes they do have valley parking to help with. Go for it and savour your taste buds.

I as a bengali went to this restaurant to eat their bengali food.
Service was good and ambience was excellent.
However, out of what we ordered the chicken was too spicy.
The murgh malai Tikka was hot and tasty, so would recommend
The ice cream Sandesh was excellent and it is a must try.
Overall, it was an excellent Bayleaf of food and would recommend whenever you are in Chennai.
If you crave authentic Bengali foods in Chennai, this place is a must try.
