Bay Leaf

The Bay Leaf Indian restaurant and takeaway sits on Crossway Road in Hindhead, a short distance from the Devil's Punchbowl — the vast National Trust natural amphitheatre carved into the Surrey Hills beside the A3. TripAdvisor's Hindhead page lists it as a top local venue, and Restaurant Guru carries 229 reviews at a 4.5 rating. Reviewers describe a "limited but absolutely delicious menu," lovely decor, attentive and polite staff, and food that more than one customer called the best Indian they had encountered locally. The restaurant also runs a cocktail bar alongside the dining room, and caters for vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free diners. One of the more carefully conceived Indian restaurants in this part of the Surrey Hills, in a village otherwise short on high-quality food options.
