Bay Leaf Indian Cuisine

A kitchen on Bluebonnet Boulevard turns out biryanis, curries, and tandoor work executed at a level that surprises anyone expecting standard mid-sized Southern city fare. Bay Leaf's reputation extends well beyond Baton Rouge—quietly, it's one of the best Indian restaurants in the Gulf South. The lunch buffet draws a devoted weekday crowd and offers the best value. The dinner menu rewards those who stay later, when the kitchen has room to show what it can do. Open daily for lunch and dinner.
