Babuji in Camden

Tuvimos que esperar una hora para recibir nuestros entrantes y uno era un plato frío. Vimos a todos los demás comensales que llegaron media hora después de nosotros recibir sus entrantes. Una pareja estaba a punto de irse cuando llegaron sus entrantes y se avergonzaron de que los suyos llegaran antes que nosotros. En ningún momento el gerente intentó compensarnos o disculparse por el retraso. No he experimentado un servicio como este en mucho tiempo, realmente decepcionado.

Buena comida y buen servicio. Me encanta la comida asiática y cocinar mucho yo mismo, así que el listón está bastante alto para mí. Vinimos aquí de la parte posterior de las críticas sobre TA y vamos a un concierto en el O 2. Absolutamente vale la pena las críticas y volveremos.

Vine aquí por un velorio. Éramos unos 20 de nosotros y nos dieron una cálida bienvenida. La comida era absolutamente increíble. El restaurante en sí es acogedor y tiene un gran ambiente. Teníamos un menú fijo y cuando le dije al gerente Mo que soy vegetariano inmediatamente dijo que esto no era ningún problema y me sacó el plato de garbanzos más delicioso. Los sabores eran fuera de este mundo y diferentes a su restaurante indio promedio. No es que haya nada malo en eso, pero fue una muy buena sorpresa probar las especias que perduraron en la boca después de la manera más agradable. Definitivamente estoy planeando venir aquí de nuevo con amigos lo antes posible. No pases esta por aquí. Si usted está en la zona, pruébelo. Vale la pena viajar desde South London a Kentish Town. Gracias por hacer de un día triste una celebración brillante de la vida de una persona muy extrañada.

Babuji se ve modesto desde el exterior, pero es una joya oculta que debe ser concurrida con los clientes. Escondida a plena vista justo enfrente de la estación de metro de Kentish Town (que será súper - conveniente cuando la estación reabra a finales de este año) , se abre en un espacio agradablemente retro que es acogedor y relajante - - inmediatamente se siente como en casa. Teníamos el curry de langostino bengalí, al que ahora soy oficialmente adicto, y la masala dosa, que era espesa y esponjosa y estaba generosamente rellena. El vaso sin fondo de chai estaba caliente, con ingredientes frescos que no guardaban relación con la versión que la mayoría de los lugares sirven. Lo mejor que he tenido en mucho, mucho tiempo... quizás nunca. El servicio fue excelente, el propietario amable y atento sin imponer en la comida o hacernos sentir en absoluto apresurado. Todo estaba escrupulosamente limpio. Babuji se ha convertido en un favorito instantáneo y volveremos a estar allí pronto, con amigos y familiares.

Nos encanta la comida india, pero esta es la auténtica comida de Delhi de próximo nivel. Todo lo que pedimos sabía increíble. El menú no es su promedio en el Reino Unido - basado en la India - pero es aún mejor y perfecto para compartir platos. No puedo esperar a estar en la zona de nuevo para visitar de nuevo para probar todos los demás platos!

Sitio agradable y muy bien atendido. El camarero nos aconsejó estupendamente y la comida era de excelente calidad . Recomendable al 100%.

Right opposite Kentish Town Station and is such a cute little gem. Supeeerr delicious food with great service. We had the shingara chaat and onion pakora to start and they were unreal!! 10/10. For mains we had the dhal makhni and butter paneer masala - both were really nice. Good sized portions for a good price :)

My partner and I were looking for somewhere to eat before a gig at the O2 and stumbled upon this gem right opposite Kentish town station. The food was exceptional, full of flavour and the service was also excellent.

Been meaning to go to this restaurant for a long time and we weren't disappointed as there's a wide choice of excellent food served enthusiastically. We shall return!

I predict many more visits to this completely brilliant place. The interior is bright, breezy and welcoming with witty artworks on the walls; the service was utterly charming. One of our party had a dietary requirement and our server gave really helpful, knowledgable advice that was much appreciated. But the food was even better than all that. Pani Puri were crunchy little taste bombs that we all fought over; onion pakora was the best I've ever had. The masala dosa was heavenly - the pancake was feather-light, crisp and melted in the mouth and the filling was bursting with spicy tastiness. Biryani, rotis, dhal - all gorgeous. The only thing I wasn't crazy about was the the masala chips, but my friends loved them. Prices are so reasonable, too. I can't wait to go back and try all the other things we didn't have!

Came across this restaurant when in Kentish Town and I have to say, some of the best food I have ever eaten. The flavours and textures were inredible. Service was excellent, the host was the nicest guy. Price points are good and worth every penny. Definitely coming back!

Wow, !!!!! Best curry I've had for years top notch service Great vegetarian selection and desserts Impeccable bathrooms, altogether a great experience , Thanks,!!!!!

A hidden gem with excellent service, delicious fresh food and very generous portions! Relaxed atmosphere and very reasonably priced too.

Hadn't visited here for some time but really enjoyed a return visit. Service is friendly and thoughtful and the food is very suited to sharing. We enjoyed a PANEER BUTTER MASSALA along with a dahl dish, chole masala and sag aloo. Really nice food and a bit different from the standard Indian menu. With Kentish Town tube station closed for a year, restaurants on this stretch may suffer. Best wishes to all at Babuji during this rather difficult time.

My son took me for lunch, he lives locally, while I visited him recently. The food was amazing, as was the service. I only wish I had an excuse to visit again soon! A really wonderful lunch.

We are renting a flat a little down the road for the week and we keep coming back to Babuji! The food is excellent and the pricing very reasonable. We have had: Butter chicken, Rice, Dahl Makhni, Naan (several types) Bhel Puri and Massala chips. It was all very tasty. The staff are all very friendly and we may have to go one last time before we leave in a few days.

diner with the family, very good food, wonderful vibe, kind service, would like to come again at least for chai

Delicious, authentic food and fantastic service. Returned from India last month and missed the food and chai. So happy to have found this place, our first visit and an absolute gem. The food is tasty, clean (not processed) and exciting. Great menu and a really friendly team. Best chai I have had since returning from India too, delicious. I would recommend and am looking forward to my next visit. An absolute delight!

Excellent food. Super friendly restaurant. Loved the street food chaat! Omg delicious. Mains are better than standard restaurants by a long shot. Will be back

Excellent meal! We visited Babuji for my daughter’s birthday lunch as a group of 7. The food was delicious! We had a variety of dishes, all of which were cooked to perfection. I am gluten free and vegetarian and there was a good variety of dishes to suit my needs. My daughter and son said the naan breads were amazing! Service was great. The whole restaurant, including the rest rooms, was spotless, bright and welcoming. Would highly recommend!!

We shared starters of Bhel Puri and Onion Pakoras - very large portions, plenty for two, and both absolutely delicious, full of flavour and texture, although the Bhel Puri was almost too spicy. We then shared Aloo Gobi Mattar and Dhal which came with roti. The flavours were fresh and vivid and the bread light and homemade. Altogether a fantastic meal. Service was exemplary - friendly and efficient. We would highly recommend Babuji.

I had my birthday lunch at Babuji - even though we were quite a big group and the restaurant was full, the service was great, and the team are so friendly and attentive. Food and drinks are delicious, cannot recommend enough. Thanks so much! 😊

We come back here time and time again. The food is absolutely amazing, with such a varied menu. The staff are always so friendly and make sure to explain everything on the menu, and food comes quickly. It's often a bit quiet in there but only a matter of time before everyone learns the secret of Babuji!

My friend and I popped in for lunch as her daughter had recommended it. We shared a massala dosa and dhal to share. The dosa came with coconut sambar, tamarind sauce and mint sauce and the dhal came with chapatti. The food was delicious and...

A chance encounter with friends introduced us to this thoughtfully run South Asian restaurant in Kentish Town, North West London. As we came out of the Kentish Town Tube station, there it was across the road. Babuji is a haven of creative ideas in both...

I had a wonderful experience at this restaurant last night. The food was some of the best I've ever tasted, and that's not a statement I make lightly. The flavours made my taste buds sing! The service was exceptional, the owner/manager so warm, friendly and...

Lovely, fun evening. Great service and delicious food...we were all enjoyed everything and discovered some new dishes and flavours.

We were heading to the Forum and Babuji is just across from the tube. It's not posh with plush seating but my goodness the food is good. We had a couple of chaats as starters and I had the Bengali prawn curry. I tried some...

Delicious dishes all round! Could taste how long especially the lamb had been cooking for and the atmosphere was casual yet classy, perfect for a date!

Booked Babuji for a party of 20+ and Mo & his team were incredibly helpful and responsive throughout. Food was excellent on the evening and portions super generous going by London standards ! The Paneer tikka & the Dabba Ghosht are worth highlighting. Service was...

We had an amazing meal here - dishes a little bit different from the usual Indian fare. Super tasty, great value and lovely service. Would definitely come again.

Some of the tastiest food I've had in a long time, and for such affordable pricing. The balance of flavours in my dishes were a delight. The owner was passionate, humble and friendly; he made us feel so welcome like it was his own home....

We shared a selection of street food dishes and main courses and were blown away by the delicious flavours. Service was friendly and the price very reasonable. We will definitely return if we are back in the area.

Delicious food and lovely staff- best naan I’ve ever had! Definitely recommend! Nice atmosphere and affordable

Delicious food, great atmosphere and service, reasonably priced. The menu has lots of choice and is great for veggies - my friend and I shared five dishes (three off the smaller section of the menu, two larger) including a dhal makhni and matter paneer. The...

Brilliant food, great service, very reasonable prices, lovely setting. Can’t recommend highly enough. Lots of splendid vegan options - there’s so much on the menu that we’re very pleased we ordered dishes for the table to share, choosing is impossible. Don’t go without the masala...

I've been here at least 10-15 times, never been disappointed. I've tasted everything on the menu and my faves are Behl puri as a starter, the loaded naans and pistachio kulfi for dessert - but everything on the menu is delicious! Such friendly and attentive...

Fantastic food, absolutely perfect Decor a little sparse - don't let that put you off. Go here and you won't be disappointed

Lovely people and really delicious food for very reasonable price, the chilli paneer was fab and would definitely go back when next in Kentish Town to try more of the menu.

This was our first visit to Babuji, on a rainy, miserable, October evening. The warm welcome and excellent cuisine made it all worthwhile. Authentically spiced street food starters (the vada pao and bhel puri were brilliant), and the delicious mains and breads (we particularly enjoyed...

This is a fantastic restaurant! The food was delicious and the service excellent, all for a very reasonable price. Would particularly recommend the Farfar to start.

Had an absolutely delightful meal here. The food was fantastic, and the owner was exceptionally kind. Can't wait to come back!

Very nice food and lovely service. We came close to closing time after a gig at the O2 Forum but the restaurant kept open for us, which was very kind indeed. We ordered the Bhel Puri, Padri Chaat, garlic butter naan, Dahl makhni, chilli paneer...

The food is fantastic and the service is exemplary! This is a lovely local restaurant with a super friendly vibe and a real favourite of ours!

A delightful dinner. The service was very friendly. Great taste at reasonable prices. Nice & clean. The bottomless Masala chai was a real bonus.

Delicious food - have been here multiple times now and very highly recommend. Particular favourites are Bangla Bhuna and Chole Masala

Food was really good, and reasonably priced. Similar vibe to Dishoom but with the queue. Would have given a 5/5 if was abit more cosy and more of an ambience. Would definitely return if I’m in the area.

Went tonight for dinner with my child. They didn’t have half the menu. I was within sight of the kitchen and all the ppl there had their masks pulled down to their chin and only one was wearing gloves. They were chatting a lot as...

Our first family meal out after restaurants re-opened and we are glad we chose Babuji, as the place is cool (in both senses) and has a brief but ample menu, with more veg choices than meat. The street foods are fresh and zingy and we...

My boyfriend and I shared the Dabba Gosht between us which was full of flavour. We both agreed it was one of the best, if not the best, Indian food we had. The butter naan was incredible - you have to try it!!

Went on a Saturday night, it is very small but has a great atmosphere. Staff were absolutely lovely- food was great, there was a great range of South Asian dishes and they were all very fresh and well prepared. It is casual, which works great...

I went here with my friend and sister based on some reviews and the locality of the restaurant. Unfortunately we all felt that the majority of food was very lack lustre and poorly seasoned. In particular the lamb chops were the least tastiest ive ever...

Amazing food! Street Indian, contemporary w a kick and great service and ambience... Butter naan out of this world 😊😊

Ended up here for dinner one night last week and wishing I discovered this restaurant earlier. We ordered the chai, padpri chat, methi chicken and lamb chops and each dish was absolutely divine. Service was friendly and prices reasonable as well. Definitely recommend.

We tried Babuji on the recommendation of my brother, it did not disappoint. The team were so friendly and even though there wasn't a table available when we arrived (we hadn't booked) we were put on the waiting list and went for a quick cocktail...

Finally managed to visit for the first time last week, although living locally I had occasionally frequented the previous Asian incarnation on this site. However, Babuji is refreshingly different, with an emphasis on street food, meaning that this place is ideal for a lighter snack...

Went in for a quick lunch and had some great new food that I had never eaten before. I'd especially recommend the vada pau, which was delicious. Definitely recommend a visit to this place if you are in the area.

We got out of the train last week looking for a dinner location nearby, and this was the first place right opposite the Kentish Station we saw, so decided to give it a go. And never looked back - original for London, authentic asian eatery...

Ordered a few different things between us as we were unsure of what everything was. We were not disappointed. Would do this again as we could not choose what was our favourite

It was just totally great and I can’t wait me to go back. Had a selection of the foods and they were all totally great.

Babuji gets a lot right - an interesting menu that avoids the standard Indian fare, and has a nice mix of meat and vegetarian/vegan dishes to please all dietary requirements. The food is excellent and really affordable. The staff were incredibly nice and the place...

This is one of the nicest restaurants I’ve ever been too. The food is so authentic and delicious. Definitely worth trying.

Amazing variety of dishes which were the perfect size, and amazing flavours. You can pick a few different dishes so you can try a variety. The actual restaurant is gorgeous, and has a great atmosphere. You can eat with your hands the authentic way if...

Great and much needed addition to KT. A local and up for it team, varied and authentic but not too long menu, great flavours. Throw in reasonable prices and nice decor and that makes for a perfect local restaurant keep it up!

This is a great place for authentic Indian flavours and deco. The atmosphere is great as it’s quite busy. The location is ideal right opposite Kentish Town station. I would recommend the butter chicken and lamb biryani for sure! Make sure you give this a...

What a lovely restaurant - friendly service , nice ambiance and great Indian food with a difference. Beautiful flavours and some interesting items on the menu. Definitely not your average curry house and all the better for it. Oh and the prices are very reasonable...

I am vegan and visited last month for the first time. I was happy as the menu very clearly marked the dishes which were vegan. I ordered my starter and asked if it was vegan to which the waiter said yes. I then ordered the...

A really bright different kind of Indian restaurant. The staff are friendly and the food much lighter than you normally find. It’s busy and light - not a place for a cosy, long dinner - but a fun place to pop in - I’d definitely...

Cheap food , but tasteless. The biriani was just rice with a tiny amount of tasteless meat .. beer was overpriced. Three quid for a coke ? I don’t care if it an organic trendy brand ! Service mediocre. Avoid.

Fantastic food, feels authentic and genuine. Tastes incredible!! After my spinach lamb curry and my partner’s biryani I wanted to try the whole menu! Will definitely come back.

Visited tonight having found it on line. The food is really fresh and tasty. The staff very welcoming and great service. We liked the decor and it feels very fresh as a venue for great food. I had the chilli paneer and makhni dhal served...

Absolutely delicious.. Great great food.. Modern Indian.. And local.. No need to go down to Drummond Street now! Paneer.. Poori.. And more.. Definitely coming back again..

A great experience for my partner's birthday. From the funny waiter to the modern interior and quirky, but authentic menu we enjoyed all. Will be going back

I could focus on the helpful and knowledgeable staff or the inviting decor or the relaxed atmosphere but I won't I will simply say that the food is made with care and attention and the flavours and textures are vibrant and complex.

This restaurant is absolutely superb. From the decor, to the ambiance this really is a fantastic new addition to the Kentish Town scene. We've been three times so far and every dish we've had has been delicious. The food is authentic Indian street food, so...

Great service and selection on menu. Slightly different, as their website mentions, but makes it more interesting. We wished we ordered more. The lentils were great as was the chicken. we also ordered the lamb but this was a slight surprise. It does not come...

Delicious food and wine. Very helpful and friendly staff. Nice touches and details throughout the place. Looks super clean and taken care of. Perfect place to relax and enjoy after a long day at Hampstead heath. Definitely going back.
