Bayleaf Pub And Indian - Rowley Regis

When we arrived, a rude doorman told us not to enter, so we went through the pub entrance to find our table. However, we soon discovered that the venue was fully booked for a party, and all the tables were occupied. As a result, we were unable to get any food.

When our meals did arrive, they were just as delicious as we had hoped. We enjoyed every course and each of us ordered something completely different, so I won't go into detail about the dishes. It was a rather unusual experience to be dining alone in a restaurant, but it turned out to be a pleasant evening nonetheless. We suspected the restaurant had been bustling the night before, so we were a bit disappointed to have booked so close to Christmas on a Sunday. Nonetheless, we enjoyed our time there and will definitely return!

Since it was the evening before Christmas Eve (Sunday), I decided to make a reservation through this site in case the restaurant was packed with happy diners. However, when we arrived, the place was completely empty. We went in anyway and were greeted warmly and shown to our seats. After ordering our drinks and meals, we settled in to wait for the food to arrive. When our meals did come, they were just as delicious as we had hoped. We each chose completely different dishes, so I won't highlight any specific one. It felt a bit unusual to be dining alone in a restaurant, but it was still an enjoyable evening. We were told that the restaurant had been full the night before, so I guess we were just unlucky to book on a Sunday so close to Christmas. Nevertheless, we had a great time, and we will definitely return!
