Delicious meal and the also the most delicious paratha in the bread basket! Will return for sure. Babur deserves all the Michelin stars they can get.

Stunningly good restaurant. Superb service, separate menus for fabulous cocktails with an Indian twist, an extensive wine list and a wonderful selection of food. We could not have enjoyed ourselves more. Very highly recommended.

Babur is the most amazing restaurant, the food is absolutely superb, the service is attentive and really expertly done and the cocktails are absolutely blinding. I first went to this restaurant in the late 1980s, it was brilliant then and it's brilliant now. If I could give it six stars, I would.

Our very own Gymkhana located in the heart of South East ! I went here for my birthday with five friends and had a fantastic time. Very good service, creative takes on classic dishes and great wines. Offered wine pairings with each dish, too, but we didn't take this up as it was a Tuesday night. Next time!

We had a lovely evening and enjoyed much of the experience, but a few aspects left us feeling slightly disappointed. The poppadoms were offered to us without any mention of an additional charge, so we assumed they were part of the set meal. Since we were already paying a premium and missed some of the performances, this unexpected surcharge made the night feel a bit overpriced. Clearer communication about what’s included would greatly enhance the experience and ensure guests can fully relax and enjoy. Thank you for an otherwise enjoyable evening.

Came here for my sons birthday. It's the best Indian restaurant I have ever eaten in and I've eaten in a lot over my lifetime. Even one in Mayfair. I had the tasting menu which was delicious. The portions may seem small at first but by the time the fifth course came, I was full up. Every single dish was lovely. Nice decor, lovely toilets with soap and hand lotion. Ooh and individually wrapped towels per customer. My sons ate a la carte. Mutton. I think it's mentioned in the Michelin guide too. 🤔 Good service and a special birthday surprise at the end. Thoroughly enjoyed and recommended.

This is no ordinary curry house, this place is exceptional. From the very friendly waiter showing us to our table, to the food menu, to the atmosphere, way beyond what you would normally expect. The waiter walked us through the menu with ease, suggesting side dishes if he thought we needed it. The poppadom starter was different to what I was used to . The menu and food is just out of this world. We will be back. Update. This place is so special the locals don't want you to know about it. The flavours are so elevated it makes a great night out.

Babur catered for our wedding (just over 100 guests) and we were absolutely delighted with the food, the service and the price! So many people keep mentioning to us how delicious it was and how it was the best wedding food they’ve ever had. The price was much better than catering companies were quoting us for less food at lower quality. Babur we’re incredibly accommodating to all of our requests. We opted for a vegetarian menu to reduce our carbon footprint and it was so delicious—all the meat eaters were very happy. We were so pleased with the entire service they provided beginning to end, including helping to wash up and pack up leftovers. We’ve also eaten in the restaurant a couple of times and will definitely be going back. Better than Dishoom!

My favourite Indian restaurant in London celebrates 39 years! . This was my third time at Babur. Hidden gem in Brockley rise serving exceptional Indian food that not only looks fantastic but also offers exciting and creative flavour combinations. For their 39th birthday they offer a 5-course tasting menu with or without wine pairing. Everything we had was executed to perfection. Just the right amount of food not to leave hungry or overstuffed. Selected wine greatly complimented each dish. . 1st course Tandoori tiger prawn, Masala flat rice, garlic butter samphire Swordfish tikka, onion, radish pickle . 2nd course Spiced Jersey potato vada, royal cumin brioche, mint sauce & pickle onion Villagers favourite chicken tikka, Thecha dahi . Rest course Dried Mangosteen and roasted cumin ice lolly . 3rd course Coriander and spinach gram flour cake, Maharashtrian kadhi sauce or Traditional Maharashtrian Halibut curry with mango and fresh coconut . 4th course Western coastal region chicken stew with sautéed onion and kokum, brown rice or Kayastha prabhu style lamb knuckles curry, millet paratha . 5th course Hapus mango kulfi, chia seed & gond katria . 📍Location: Brockley Rise 🚇 Closest station: Honor Oak Park 💰Price: Five course £54.95 with matching wine £85.95

We have just been at Bubur in Brockley rise and it was a very disappointing experience. The food was amazing but the service and attitude of the waiter were unacceptable. The waiter didn’t want to serve us unless we bought a main course and drinks, as we only wanted water and small tapas. We ordered just a few starters because we have never been there before, but also people should be allowed to get what they want from restaurants, especially if the staff haven’t mentioned to customers of any rules regarding orders. He then came to apologising saying the restaurant has been open for 39 years as an excuse for entitlement. So be mindful before going.

We’ve been coming to Babur for 20 years now, and for good reason. The whole package is exceptional; the ambience, the food, the cocktails (I could happily down one Currytini after another!)… And the staff all hit that perfect balance between being attentive and unobtrusive. Babur gets a lot of plaudits and they’re utterly deserved. Thank you, and here’s to another 20 years of wonderful dining.

Avoid at all cost. The food is not even good for a dog. Rice comes in a microwave packet and dosa is soft not crispy & comes with no chutneys or sambar. If you look at all the reviews on Deliveroo, none of them has names.I would say they are fake. I do not recommend this restaurant.

We recently celebrated our wedding at Babur, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. The food was beautifully presented and delicious, making our day feel incredibly special. Each dish showcased the chefs' creativity and attention to detail. The staff were exceptionally accommodating and helpful, ensuring all our requests were met with ease. They went above and beyond to cater to different dietary needs and allergies, which was greatly appreciated by our guests. The ambiance of Babur was perfect for our intimate gathering of 25 people, providing a warm and inviting atmosphere. The elegant setting added to the charm of our special day. Overall, hosting our wedding at Babur was an excellent decision. The combination of superb food, outstanding service, and a beautiful venue made for a magical experience. We highly recommend Babur for any special occasion. Thank you for making our wedding day so memorable!

Not a great experience tbh. So firstly if you’re Vegan then just avoid. There was no curry option only the Tali or the Dosa which seems pretty poor. I had the Tali and it was bang average however it was £22!!! (Check out Govindas for a great Tali). Yeh so the food was average - the Dahl was really bland actually. The table next to us had 2 young children which was very cute but the waiter was really rude to them saying they needed to buy at least one main per person and there was a “minimum spend”. It was really bad and made us uncomfortable. Why on earth would you turn away custom like that and thre place wasn’t even busy.

Great restaurant, think this is another South London gem. Went here for an occasion meal, and treated myself to the tasting menu with wine pairings. Getting a cocktail to start with the currytini is my new favourite cocktail, my friends also were raving about theirs. The food was great, really really enjoyed, after each course we'd be asking what's that spice, flavour the food was super tasty. For me what really makes a difference is good service, it was warm, welcoming, relaxed and professional, each cocktail, dish explained, the notes added to the booking were communicated to the staff. All this combined great food n drink made for a great way to spend my birthday. I can't wait to go back and check out the rest of the menu.

I must confess… It’s been YEARS since I last visited Babur and for our first time back in years, it seemed like a brand new restaurant. A really contemporary yet cosy interior space rather than the clichéd interiors that you usually find in Indian restaurants (and that I remember!). Very nice! As a group of 4, we were a table of four picky eaters so there was a bit of dissent about a few dishes (the black daal for one wasn’t a hit for all of us) with one person of Indian descent and another a professional chef. However, we were all mostly satisfied. Mine was excellent - lamb starter was divine, I could have had two… And the monkfish main was delish. Cocktails were fairly good too although we didn’t like one at all as we didn’t think the balance of flavours with overpowering cumin and hardly a trace of fruit was right at all but hey ho, they fixed it with a bit more syrup to make it a bit more palatable although they could see one of us forcing it down like medicine! A pity we weren’t offered to swap it on the house. However, that was a small blot and I think for the quality of the dining experience, the final bill was fairly priced, just south of West End pricing. Considering Babur is on our doorstep, all of us will book again and we won’t leave it years from now on.

Went for the Sunday buffet which was good but the lamb and egg curry was extremely weird. It seemed like a lamb scotch egg which disintegrated into mush in the sauce. I’m very confused by this dish. The mocktails on the other hand were seriously incredible. I ordered the mint cooler and told my friends to take a sip and they all immediately ordered their own since it was so delicious.

We had the tasting menu and all the the dishes were surprisingly bland. Not a lot of textural difference in the food (all quite soft without contrast) and the meat was poorly cooked/tough/overcooked across the board. Given how good the reviews are we were pretty surprised but it was our least favorite Indian meal while in london.
