This is my second visit to this Restaurant with t business people food was Amazing service is very good Young boy is very nice and good

My only favourite Indian restaurant ever!! I am a professional chef and have my own restaurant/cafe and I can tell you that this the only place you have to go for a good Indian meal! The staff are friendly, the food is exceptional and Authentic!!!...My favourite is Mother’s special with Nan bread!!! Some of my friend live far away but they still order from the bridge and bayleaf and are prepared to warm the meal if it gets cold due to delivery distance!! I wish them all the best and I will continue supporting such an amazing business!More

We used to visit quite regularly or go and collect takeaway. Having visited last year on my husbands birthday and sitting near a very drunk woman who was clanging cutlery on plates and vaping unchallenged by the staff we decided not to visit again. I...go out and pay good money to enjoy myself and not to breathe in vape fumes and come out with a headache from other inconsiderate diners. We’ve still collected takeaway which is always delicious but frequently we have to sit and wait for it to be ready respite giving 30 mins or so before arriving to collect. We always manage to get it home and it’s still hot. Today is my husbands birthday again and we decided to try our first takeaway ‘delivery’ order. I rang after 1 hour and 10 minutes to be told it had left and was on the way. 30 minutes later and it finally arrived. Cold. Having just read the reviews on here about deliveries I now realise I’m one of many. You should keep to what you’re good at as your reputation is suffering due to poor service. After contacting Food Hub I was told the manager would contact me directly to sort the issue. It’s 23:10 and I’m still waiting….More

Wow, food was amazing. We had starters, mains, coffee and drinks. All were beautiful. Mrs Khan was fantastic.... "mother is always right" and she was ❤️

Visited here as staying nearby and had read all the great reviews. Excellent food and service. Very authentic family run business. Couldn’t do enough for us. Dishes very flavoursome and generous portions. Good choice of drinks at reasonable prices. Will definitely be back. Would highly...recommend.More

This is one of the most amazing and tasty meal I have ever had. Pakistani Kashmiri food cooked to perfection. The was rice very flavorfuI sprinkled with saffron and not too greasy. There were little extras added like pappadoms and little pickled dishes to start...with on the house. I had Desi lamb and that was excellent. I have been in India for many months and have never had such delectable food, It could do with a revamp on the house side as I thought it was closed. The sign in particular for take away.More

We booked the Bridge & Bayleaf for our 25th wedding anniversary meal as we had our wedding reception back there 25 years ago when it was called the ‘Toll House’. We thought it would be a nice way to remember our wedding day. A few...weeks before the date, met with the owner and his mother who were very accommodating as we wanted to specifically choose our table and decorate it for the special occasion. On the afternoon of our anniversary, we arrived early with balloons etc and they helped us dress the area. We later returned with our party of 8 and our enormous cake. We were all greeted by Mrs Khan, who was very attentive and asked if we wished the cake be kept chilled until later, she also set aside a small table nearby for us to display it later. We ordered drinks which arrived promptly, then placed our food order which again, given there was 8 of us, arrived within a short time (although we were not rushed). The food was excellent, amazing flavours and plenty of it. We would definitely recommend the Bridge & Bayleaf and would definitely return….well we did a few days later with flowers to thank Mrs Khan for her hospitality as we felt she most certainly deserved a proper thank you.More

Having read one review I felt I had to comment we booked a table and when we arrived we were greeted by the owner and she showed us our table within minutes we ordered and received our drinks we were left to choose our meal...which was our choice and after choosing the food was presented, it was fantastic the portions was generous and hot, having driven from London and staying local I have to say there are so many Indian restaurants to choose in London this was one of the best I have had some reviews are people who like to moan and complain just for the sake of it but trust me this family run restaurant is up there with the best my wife and myself eat out twice a week and if we lived locally we would be regular to eating here please do not be put off by people who moan for the sake of moaning try this restaurant you will not be disappointed trust meMore

I came here with my family for a birthday, was an amazing experience. All the staff where lovely and polite. As soon as i walked in i was greeted and sat straight to my table. The food was 10/10, i had some special requirements and...all were catered to. Food came on time and was very well presented and most importantly…delicious!!!! Overall it was a great place and id definately be coming back. Highly recommend!!!!More

Very good experience. Amazing food .Great service. Great location. 4th or 5th visit here . Highly recommended. Would recommend fish platter to start . Keema rice is fantastic with your main course.

We’ve been to the restaurant several times and have always had a great experience. The place is always spotless and the food is always lovely. The staff are always very attentive and very polite. It’s not often I leave reviews on trip advisor unless something...is very bad or outstanding. I decided to leave this review because the lovely lady who runs the place was distraught about the previous review. She was absolutely in pieces about it. Now we’ve probably eaten there a dozen times and never once had anything but great food and great service. I’m not sure where the couple went to or what they were eating but I may suggest there is more to their review than meets the eye. Anyway the Bridge and Bayleaf is a lovely restaurant serving great food with great staff.More

Very limited car parking but not far to walk if you want to park near the pub in Gunthorpe. Pleasant riverside setting but walk from car park to entrance quite grim. Our first visit because we had seen the good reviews, sadly our visit was...the complete opposite. We got a nice table overlooking the outside seating area and river. First thing we noticed was a dead fly on the side plate on the laid out table. I just got rid of it and got a new plate, these things can happen. Cutlery not very clean, no tablecloth and sticky table which was unpleasant. The windows and sills were quite dirty with spiders spinning webs and flys trying to avoid them. Greeted by the mother who was very pleasant and we ordered two beers. She bought the beers, they both had huge heads and were well below the pint mark. Glasses very wet with beer spill, placed on table and beer puddled around the glasses. Asked for some napkins to mop up the spill. Maybe this is why the tables are sticky. We said nothing about the short measures but a little while later the mother returned with a small glass of beer and topped us up at the table. A nice gesture but it should be served right first time. We ordered. Asked for Aloo tikki (spiced potato) from the menu but told they don’t do that. (Why was it on the menu?). We then chose the Chili Paneer starter and the mother recommended Chilli fish to start as well so we ordered that on recommendation. We waited and waited and waited and eventually the starters turned up after a very long time. Both looked quite nice on the plate if a little dried out. I took my knife and placed it on the paneer waiting for it to gently pierce the cheese and cut into it. No way. I put more pressure on. Nothing. I started to saw with similar pressure I would use to cut a tree down and it eventually gave. I placed a small piece in my mouth and tried to chew. It beat me, it was not going to allow me to chew it. I discretely removed it from my mouth, wondering how it was even possible to ruin paneer like this. Meanwhile, my wife (we were sharing starters) was still trying to cut into hers. I advised her not to. We went onto the fish. I put my knife into it and although it was supremely tough I managed to cut a piece. I put it into my mouth and chewed into the worst piece of cooked cod I’ve ever experienced. Bone dry to the point of it immediately drying my mouth out. My wife was equally appalled and we could not eat it. We agreed that with our experience so far that we did not want to continue experiencing the ‘delights’ and decided to leave. The manager approached us and asked us the problem. We told him and he said he knew it had been below their usual high standards and he was surprised as he had been in the kitchen when it went out. We took from that that either he know the dishes were compromised at point of serving or he had done a post mortem on them since. He was really nice and apologetic and implored us to stay so he could prove to us that the mains were wonderful. However the phone rang three times whilst he was talking to us and he decided to answer it each time so he could not devote proper time to us. I would have thought that in such a situation the ringing phone should have been left for someone else to answer as surely the priority should be a disgusted customer about to leave? We were in the process of being charged for the beer (fair enough as we had drank the beer) but he managed to tell the person to waive the cost for that in between phone calls. On reflection, I think that was the right decision as we had come out primarily for a meal, not a drink. Despite his assurances that the mains would be lovely we were not prepared to risk it. The starters were honestly that bad, even if he’d said the mains would be at no cost to us (which he didn’t) we would not have stayed. The ONLY Indian restaurant I have ever walked out of in 43 years! Afterwards, we drove to a nearby Indian restaurant (separate review to be done) which was excellent.More
