Bay Leaf Indian and Himalayan Cuisine

Momos

Steamed or fried Himalayan dumplings with a thin, slightly chewy wrapper — the defining dish that separates this place from a standard Indian restaurant

Butter Chicken

A rich, tomato-cream sauce with tender chicken that leans sweeter and milder — crowd-pleasing rather than complex

Lamb Curry

Slow-cooked lamb in a deeply spiced gravy — the long braise shows when the meat falls off the bone cleanly

Dal

Lentil curry simmered with aromatics — a reliable vegetarian anchor that pairs well with naan or rice

Garlic Naan

Soft, slightly blistered flatbread with a generous garlic finish — better than average for a neighborhood restaurant

Biryani

Fragrant basmati rice layered with spiced meat or vegetables — a substantial one-dish meal

Mango Lassi

Thick, sweet yogurt drink — a reliable cooling counterpoint to the spiced dishes
