A 24/7 Hr Restro! What you want now.....Its situated on ground floor of Holiday Inn but to reach location you have take wrong turn on highway but as per me it's worth it...every penny you pay. Being restro getting set for morning operations still they make sure you get perfect service. Service was great didn't get much time talk to server but he was very polite and gentle. But why 4* as everything was perfect except food taste we were hungry n we get service so we ignored it but by taste it's not worth it at all quality, quantity is good but....

This place has a nice breakfast and dinner buffet and various options are available .We were hosted and served by Shubham ,Preeti,Jhumur,Rakesh and
Manager mster suman they all were throughout available and made sure to serve us better and on the table all freshly cooked or direct from the kitchen.Thank you for the wonderful service.

Dinner buffet- for dinner they had Various options From starters to salad, various desserts, 2-3 types of papad, live pasta available, various breads like tandoori roti and naan, vegetable paneer and dal. What i really loved was their chicken and fish starter - indian, continental and Chinese style. I loved their all types of papad plus I am papad lover. Dessert items were many but only few of them were good, mainly they were too sweet. It could have been better.

Breakfast buffet- They had chicken salami, sausage, brown and white bread,fruits and fruit juices, croissant of various flavour they were fresh and good. Also had dough nut of many flavors, live pan cake with white cream which was just yummy . Bhaji puri, sprouts,juice, idli dosa and medu vada. I loved all their english breakfast items and live pan cake.

Recommended for once with family and friends!!

Great food,
Good Service,
Tacky Ambience.

Menu is quite appealing, availability of dishes are good and dish preparation timing is negotiable.

Only problem notice and didn't like was that Spaghetti carbonara has only few ingredients as per original recipe but here they use very quantity of ingredients like only 1 bacon strips which is not enough or feel in compares the Spaghetti and not able to feel cheese.

Also Just need to improve Veg Lasagna Quality.

Overall great Service even at the time of closing.

Recently I have been to the restaurant, the Maharashtrian food prepared by the chef Amol was amazing. The service was quick and prompt, staff was amazing. To name a few were Preeti, Shubham, Vivek. The overall ambience is nice, one thing I would definately like to highlight is that they have seperate buffet for veg and non veg. Since our group had few vegetarian, they really appreciated the entire set up. I am definately going to visit again with my family and friends

I liked the food. It was tasty and similar to home preparation. The spices were just perfect.
I had a sumptuous food. First time i enjoyed the daal outside. It was moong daal with a taste of my mother recipe.Everyone in my family enjoyed the meal.  Thanks to Nearby vouchers it was less heavy on my wallet.

So where should I start? For a price of just RS 1000, you get a massive spread. Ever dish looks impeccable and tastes awesome. You also get pani Puri and chat St the live counter, and if you are staying in this hotel you get 15% discount on the bill. The staff is courteous and helpful. There is literally no limit to the spread. I would say go opt for the buffet option over here. A total value for money.

Cafe Bay Leaf located on the ground floor of Holiday Inn has a wide buffet everyday at a reasonable price. A huge free flow dining house with veg and non veg seperate counters, dessert counters, paratha counters and a sweet looking bar. They also have an outdoor area along with a swimming pool. The best time to visit is during winters and evenings.

You can also opt for the ala-carte option. Some of the highlight items of their buffet menu are,

The Thai curries
Eggs Basillico
Chicken Chilly
Prawns fry
Battered Fish
The Indian fare

The staff is polite and on their feet. Well trained and we'll mannered. Bayleaf also have corporate discounts and reservations are done too. The chef and his team curates a great menu and the food is very tasty.

Fatboy Foodie we had gone for our team lunch at the Cafe Bay Leaf Holiday Inn. There was so much variety of food for vegetarians and non vegetarians. The teriyaki chicken had a nice tangy taste to it and it was nice and tender.

The paprika fried fish had a crunchy coating and the fish was soft and tender from inside, had no bones inside.

The chicken pahadi was nice and tender from the inside and it came right of the bone. The only problem was that it had to many bones with teriyaki chicken and pahadi chicken.

After a long time I had Ham salad, this salad was so amazing and the ham was tender to, had a nice garlic taste to it.

All the assorted breads were nice and soft also when you put in mouth, they melted.

All the desserts were amazing specially the marble cake with chocolate sauce and custard. The mango barfi and the chocolate tart were to die for I was in desert heaven.

Once a lunch buffet, they provide a variety of mouth-watering vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes, with fresh salad and desserts. The staff working over there is quite friendly. The preparation is cool, taste is delicious and the ambience is classy. Had some mocktails, which were really awesome. Spent a great time over there. Must visit this place once you are near Hinjawadi, Pune. Must go for the buffet.

Visited Cafe bayleaf yesterday with family by taking deal for Sunday brunch (took deal from another merchant)...

Positive---

1) Food was good, taste wise almost everything was good.

2) In deal fish was not mentioned but we got it in starter.

3) Liked mutton buryani, chicken masala and nan.

4) Desserts were good, liked shewaya and fruit faluda.

5) on request they arranged baby sit for my daughter and it helped a lot to enjoy our food and she also enjoyed

Negative---

1) As I had taken deal for Brunch, i believe manager didn't like it. The general manners which we observe in other big hotels were missing.

2) Food spread was missing, like only one chicken main course was available.

3) Ambience was not what I expected after looking at photos, might be due to rainy season.

4) Mock tails was unlimed in my deal but quality was not up to mark.

5) Had to remind them that fruit rubady, pastries are over and bring the new one (point is no body was there to manage these things)

But overall experience was good. Would like to revisit.

We were here at their KBC fest dinner buffet and we did NOT find it disappointing at all. For 600/- per plate it was a steal deal. Starters and main course had limited spread but Fulfilling in all aspects. Mutton shorba was awesome and chicken tikka was cooked to perfection. The veg and non veg biryanis were mildly spiced keeping in mind the foreigner guests. The salad bar had good varieties and tasted really good. The desserts section had pretty good spread. Their seviyan kheer turned out to be the best dessert item. Last but not the least, the great service and interaction by their head chef Mr. Ganpat made sure that we had a great time and he left no stone unturned. Looking forward to another steal deal food fest from their side.

last visited the place with family, the selection of food in the buffet is excellent, the service staff is courteous enough to serve us the starter on our table while dining their. Best part they have happy hours where they have huge range of selection of beverages to select.

Location is nice, our kids enjoyed as they have a lot of space outside the cafe towards the pool side where kids played.

Buffet has value for money, & worth spending time with family.

Great place to stop on the way back from Mahabaleshwar. It's on the highway and not hard to get to. We ordered a coffee, chicken tikka and a chicken and mayo sandwich (large portion). All were great. The mint chutney with the chicken tikka was particularly good. The chicken tikka was well cooked. Our waiter Papua was very sweet and efficient.

A good place to eat if someone is on the Mumbai - Pune highway and wants to fine dine. The hotel is bang on highway and easily accessible. Lot of space for parking. Ambiance is very good. Food quality is good and one can enjoy lot of non-veg dishes. I specifically tried Fish and fries (fries seemed faded maybe my luck)  and tried some kun pao chiken. Both Fish and chicken were nicely cooked. The hotel has alcohol also available. can't review on that since i don't drink.

We had breakfast over here. It starts from morning 6:30 to 10:30. The buffet contains a variety of items from different Indian cuisines. 
We had nicely bottled refreshing drinks of different flavours ranging from lassi to carrot juice to watermelon juice.
I had puris, Gobi paratha with rajma and some other daal. Tasted the noodles, crispy chicken rolls, and a chicken preparation that tasted lot like chicken manchurian. There was also chicken preparation in indian style curry. and lots more.
I have tried one sandwich which was nicely baked by the staffs with some cheese and salami.
The live counter served cheesy chicken omelette.
The best part of the IHG breakfasts is their bakery. They were really very tasty and mouthwatering.

Had been there for the buffet dinner. Being a star property the ambiance was great. The staff was courteous right from the gate. Now, the food... this is where the cracks begin to show, i expected more choices in starters, soup tasted great. Salad bar had lots of choices alas some looked they were prepared earlier. No complains about main course except that there should have more choices of rice or atleast different variations.
Will i revisit again? Probably but for the price we pay we expect more.

Sunday morning and breakfast time after an entire week of work you just feel like treating yourself with a king size breakfast. Was in a mood for a drive so being an early riser I decided to check out holiday inn which is again quite far. But hey, nothing comes easy right? At least good food! So driving early morning with good music and empty roads the perfect setting for breakfast. I started feeling the hunger pangs :-) as i took the long route through katraj on the way I saw some people running that's when I found out there was a marathon happening that side just my luck! it took me a while to get around the traffic and enter this place, a decent ambience and well trained staff. Always smiling. Quickly glancing through the options I took a glass of water melon juice and vanilla milk shake first. Before I knew it a lot of people who came for the marathon ended up here for breakfast I knew then that this place is going to get crowded :-) next up I filled my plate with the yummiest burnt garlic noodles and poached fish both were yummy and made you go back for the second helping. Ordered dosa from the live counter it was average but the sambar was tasty. They had small dumplings of vegetables like a momo called "money bags" cute but not that tasty but the fruit salad the bakeries the pan cake with whipped cream and French toast were cooked to perfection. They also had the regular affair of poha peas paratha sabudana wada and idli which were good but the continental stuff like sausages and vegetable and chicken panini were too good to miss. Had a round of each though ;-) another helping of burnt garlic noodles and mushroom fried rice and jam Danish followed by a perfect cup of cappuccino with fresh waffles and I was in wonderland :-) I did find small shortcomings though but nothing worth mentioning all in all worth the drive good place to start your day.
