Babur Restaurant

Wow! I have lived in the area for 18 months and keep driving past this restaurant. We visited it last week and I have to say not only is the food of excellent quality but the service is fantastic.

Try the duck breast, it was absolutely beautiful! The staff were friendly and knowledgeable, I could not fault the place Admittedly the price is above what I would usually pay, but the voucher system of purchasing either a starter or desert for full price thereby giving you a main dish with 50% off. Perfect!

The waiter recommended an Indian Shiraz, we enjoyed it so much we ordered some online when we got home!

I hadn't been to the restaurant for some time. I went with a party of five and arrived early. The courtesy and politeness of the staff on arrival and throughout the evening was brilliant.

The food.... what can I say, exceeded some of the Michelin star restaurants I have been to and by far better value. I will certainly be returning in the not too distant future.

Congratulations Babur, you and your Chef deserve many stars.

I simply cannot recommend this restaurant highly enough. Last night we went in for the first time and enjoyed some of the most beautiful and delicious south Asian cuisine I have ever tasted. The red sandalwood ostrich was particularly amazing. The staff were lovely and the place has a very calm ambiance. One of the best places to eat in South London, if not the best.

I went to the Babur last night with three others...we turned up earlier than we had booked were quickly given a table with no problem. I had not been there since their refit and was amazed to see how modern it was, yet it felt very warm and welcoming. we had some p'doms with the most amazing chutneys..the whole garlic clove was the the best. We ordered from what was not the usual type of indian menu. The I felt menu was much more considered and select rather than pages and pages of every type of curry you can think of. I opted for Beggars Parcel to start which were vegetable filled pastry sacks..they were great...enjoyed their starters...I then had Black Cod on what was the most amazing sauce and mustard potatoes , not what you might normally expect..but it was distinctly indian and tasted wonderful. The others had a selection..Lamb on the bone, a large pancake filled with vegetables and then a special plate made especially by the chef for someone in our party who did not like chili. We were too full to have deserts. If you fancy a real treat in very pleasant surroundings then this is the place. In the end it worked out to be about 25 pounds a head. If I have any sort of a negative it's only to say that a few more vegetarian main courses would be good to see. Go try for yourself.

Brilliant every time, have taken several guests all of whom have nothing but positive comments to make. Always busy and friendly staff – good atmosphere too. Can be pricey but worth it!

Two words. P.R.I.C.E.Y and S.A.L.T.Y One dish of lamb shank here is enough to bring on premature hypertension. Quail breast starter was pretty decent though. Amazing decor. I would like to say I'd give them another chance, but for the price you pay you really would expect better quality overall. Came here because of the 50% off deal: you get 50% off main meals only and you also HAVE to buy another course full price (either starter or dessert). This wasn't very clear. Staff weren't the friendliest. Rather high prices for not a lot in return. Not for me thanks. Bye bye!
