Chef was a great guy, food was delicious. Served our group freshly made curry done from scratch, not oily and heavy. Try it out next time you're on a trip to Isle of wight.

We're vegetarians and we had delicious dinner at Bayleaf. Ask to speak to Sam, and he'll make sure you're fully satisfied. Great care taken to meet your specific food requirements.

Great place! Great stuff! Delightful food! Prepare freshly as you ordered. Asked for level of spiciness and wasn't disappointed. This is fantastic place! Chef come to the table to check if you are happy with food and we were delighted. The taste of food on the other level. And at the end of the meal we received hot towel what was super amazing and happened first time in my live to me If you are visiting Sundown Bayleaf is necessary on your list

Top Takeaway curry while on holiday on the island - Delivered in no time despite road closures and met by a helpful and friendly delivery driver who walked the food in the dark all the way to our lodge . Food was clean and fresh tasting and will be ordering again when on the island in the future . Thankyou
