Babaji Sunderland in Sunderland

We went to celebrate my colleagues 30th Birthday. Great food and atmosphere. There were 16 of us and they accommodated us well.

Very warm & welcoming place to eat. Food was outstanding, the staff were very friendly. Salman is a credit to the team. Highly recommend

Came here for the first time on Sunday with my wife and daughter and was really impressed, the food was delicious and the staff were both friendly and professional especially Salmun looked after us for most of the evening, will definitely be returning soon.

Beautiful meal, 1st class service lovely friendly and caring waiters. Excellent value for money. Definitely the best indian meal I have had in sunderland for a long time. King prawn garlic and chilli, one word WOW. My husband had the lamb it was amazing, Certainly recommend it to any one. I will definitely be back

Excellent food. Fantastic, friendly service. It was a great place to eat and will be definitely visiting again soon.. .

Great food to a great standard. Amazing service with very friendly and welcoming staff. Will definitely be going back highly recommend.

The food is absolutely fantastic and good value for money but the service is first class and very personable. Every member who works there give 100%. Salman always gives a very personal service and always makes time to chat and make you feel welcome

First time visiting for wife's birthday from the minute we entered the Restaurant you could tell the service was going to be above and beyond expectations. We were welcomed by Salaman shown to our table and handed menus had a lovely chat and Salaman talked us through the menu and made recommendations according to our tastes when the food arrived the taste and quality matched the service. We will 100% be visiting again for more great food and friendly chat. There where also solo diners in the Restaurant but with Salamans interaction with all of the diners it felt more like group dining experience without being too intrusive very enjoyable evening.

What an excellent restaurant. Food is delicious. Service is warm and friendly. Atmosphere is great. Would highly recommend

Excellent place if you enjoy ‘Indian’ food. Have also been to their sister restaurant in South Shields which is equally excellent

Our 1st time to Babaji's tonight. What a great place. Food was sensational. Service great (especially Salman). Ambience and decor also lovely! Great cocktail selection. We will definitely be back!

Fantastic restaurant. We booked a table and shown to it soon as we walked in. The restaurant is lovely and the service is top class. The food was great and a good price too. Highly recommend.

Babaji is a very welcoming and friendly restaurant. Consistently fantastic - food and service, by far the best Indian restaurant in Sunderland. We have been dining at Babaji since it opened, we’ve tried most dishes on the menu which are always fresh and flavoursome, portions are a good size and excellent quality.

Went here for the first time this month, food was absolutely fantastic and both food and drink was reasonably priced. It was very busy when we went in, so we advise booking in advance to make sure you get a table. Service was at times a little slow, but it was very busy. But once food was ordered it turned up at the table pretty quickly. Special shout out to Salman, nothing was too much of a trouble for him, he was very friendly and came to chat to us while we were there, and always made sure we were enjoying the food. We will definitely be back in the near future.

Took such a long time for drinks and had to ask several times to chase up orders. Food arrived. One main course wrong and we had to wait for our to be made so one member of party ate alone. Amazing food. Very poor service today. Disappointed 😞

Absolutely superb!! First time here and will be back soon Food was absolutely fab the service and staff were brilliant so polite. Thanks Salman😃

First time at this restaurant tonight for my birthday with our closest friends. The food was amazing and the staff are so friendly, especially Salman who was very welcoming. Will definitely come again and very highly recommended.

Oh wow - what a wonderful place !! Got to be one of the best Indian restaurants in Sunderland , and my wife said it was the best dhansak she’d ever had - and we certainly agreed. It was busy so atmosphere was great, everyone...

Wow. I mean, woooowww. What a wonderful experience. Brilliant food, excellent service, just a real treat. If you live in, or near, Sunderland you are doing yourself an injustice if you don't eat here.

This was the best food and we had the best waiter (Salmuh). Everything was faultless from the starters to the main — was the best food! Will definitely be back

Very good food. Fresh and brought out in a timely manner. The server Salman was both friendly and helpful. All of us would return

Great food, at a reasonable price. Excellent service from our waiter Salman. Highly recommend one of the best curry’s in Sunderland.

Beautiful food and amazing service especially from salaman we have a lovely meal will definitely be returning food prices were really good too.

Very friendly staff, made to feel welcome by Solomon. Food was very well executed - Lamb Chops as starter were tender and beautifully flavoured, Chicken Tikka Masala was great and my wife had a lamb dish with garlic and chilli which was stunning. They were...

My husband said he'd never known me eat so much of my meal . That's because it was so tasty. Love a good pathia and this was a good pathia. No complaints from any of our party either.

Excellent food!! Such a lovely atmosphere and the staff were incredible! Salman was particularly very helpful and accommodating. Would recommend to anyone!

Thoroughly enjoyed my evening here. Food was absolutely brilliant and the service brilliant too! We were made to feel very welcome and Salman was very helpful with recommendations and overall a lovely member of staff! Would 100% recomend to anyone. Will definitely be returning.

First visit and I can’t fault the whole experience. The staff are just brilliant and the food was beautiful. We will most definitely be going again.

This has to be one of the best experiences I have had from an Indian restaurant, the staff were very attentive and catered for all your needs, the food was fresh and tasteful, full of flavour and generous portions. A member of staff (Salman) made...

A stranger in town. Read reviews for somewhere to eat. Babaji looked good. Salman and the team were most welcoming. The lamb melted in your mouth. Great food matching those good reviews.

We had a lovley family meal here the choice on the menu was great for us. Salman was great with the children our 10 years old loved his knowledge of the local area and the football teams. Food was out of this world

Just tried Babaji for the first time and it was absolutely delicious, especially their king prawn curry dish. Warm and welcoming atmosphere and Salman made it all the more enjoyable. Definitely returning!

Food was amazing. The staff were so welcoming and friendly especially Salman. Lovely atmosphere. Will definitely be back soon.

Have to say from the outset that Indian food has never been top of my list for a meal out. Eating here has actually changed my perspective on it - everything tasted so fresh and I loved every single dish. Husband couldn't believe I actually...

Absolutely exceptional. Food was out of this world and the service was incredible. We ordered off the specials menu which is offered on a weekend and the portion sizes were no different. Cannot fault.

A midweek treat indeed! We visited Babaji after a recommendation from a colleague at work. So glad I took their advice, extensive options available on the a la carte menu but the pre theatre special caught our eye, a special price for 2 courses incl...

Echo everything that has been said in previous reviews. Excellent king prawn dish spiced to my taste by chef. My wife’s lamb korma was also done to perfection

Second time at Babaji and second time we've had a great meal and experience. Food and drinks are spot on, decor is great, staff are brilliant. In particular, Salman was a great help in recommending dishes. Another great Indian restaurant added to Sunderlands growing curry...

Most indian food lovers go for a happy hour menu and are satisfied. Often judging the experience by the size of the nan or number of popadums. If you want to go to another level of indian cuisine then do try this restuarant. Quality ingredients...

We thought that we would try Babaji's because of it's simple, tasty sounding menu, specialising in traditional seventies style curries. Most people going there were probably not around in the seventies and have no inkling of what curries were like then. I did my training...
