Babu Ji

This place was outstanding! You could easily walk right past it and never know. It’s small, but BIG on flavour. It’s the BEST Indian food I’ve had outside of Brick Lane in London.
Highly recommend the fish curry and butter chicken, wash it down with a serve yourself beer from their bar (!!!) and some kick ass Naan that will blow your socks off (garlic).
For those of you looking to save some coin, they have all you can eat curry and rice night for $ 25! A steal.
I can’t wait to go back, would today be too soon???

I ordered takeaway but would have rather eaten in — great atmosphere and the service is attentive. I love the beer policy of grabbing your own because they have a really cool selection of different beers from all over the world including craft local; and you don’t have to wait for that drink!
As for the food, it is delish! Try the ‘nacho’version for a starter with some of the freshest tasting samosa ever. The northern india curry is fantastic as is everything on their menu. They now have 2 restaurants so you can split your time.

Seriously, Babu Ji deserves 5 stars, except there are a few things I just can’t get my head around.
You want a beer? Get up and go get it from the fridge yourself. Want to pay by credit card? There’s a surcharge. American Express? Double-​double surcharge. Set menu? Not if there’s less than 4 of you. Wine list? Kind of short.
But the food… oh, the food.
We’ve been getting take-​away from there since the week they opened, and have had a meal dining-​in as well.
The House Daal is insanely good, as is the Roasted Goat Curry. The Butter Chicken is dangerous… only because you will struggle to stop eating it. I’ve had pretty much everything on the menu, and I don’t think there is anything I wouldn’t suggest trying at least once.
I recommend the take-​away, just because I personally can’t get past those little pet-​peeves I mentioned above… ESPECIALLY the credit card and Amex things. Owners: if you’re reading this, seriously rethink your decisions above… your food is worth it!
For anyone else: order this food. Tonight. You won’t regret it.

Have been super keen to try this place since it opened up! Everytime I pass it on the way home from the tram at night, it’s packed and the food from window looks delicious. Unfortunately due to the fact that our kids would make a mess of the place, I had to try it as take away from the comforts of my own home, but THANKFULLY they have take away as well as the fact that they deliver!!!
I ordered online and then headed down there to pick it up within 10 minutes of ordering, my food was all set. The place wasn’t super packed yet being only 5.30pm but the guys were quite inviting and friendly.
Once returning home with my food and opening the containers, my mouth started to water. I honestly can say if you could eat on the smells alone, I would have been stuffed once I opened the plastic! The butter chicken was amazing, rice perfect, dahl was delicious and even my 3 year old wanted more, the lamb was delicious and the naan was yummy. I have to admit I liked the garlic and chive naan better than the plain one, but I think that’s just a preference. I am looking forward to heading down there again soon to have a seat and enjoy a meal, even try one of their specials! Definitely by far, the best Indian food around at the moment!
