    Very tasty, along with the attractive cost of just 1.7mil for a table of 7. We were all satisfied albeit this was our 1st time. Staff are very helpful, there was even an Indian guy who spoke fluent Viet.

    I love ordering from Baba’s Kitchen, they give huge portions and they have a massive menu to choose from. I love their South Indian paratha, so flakey and so shiney from the ghee. Delicious! This Daal Makhini has a great kick of spice and is so filling. You can eat 2 nights from these portions. They also give you a bunch of extra sauces!

    The wait time seemed quite long for our empty stomach but the food was definitely worth it. We had mango fish curry and bbq chicken together with naan, and that was about the right amount for 2 persons. I also enjoyed the relaxing and friendly atmosphere here. Highly recommend!

    The food here is absolutely delicious. We ordered onion pakoras to start followed by chicken briyani, palak paneer and goa fish curry. All the dishes were presented nicely and the taste was great. The service staff were all attentive and friendly. When we finished our meals they brought over a rice pudding for dessert. This was my first time here, but definitely won't be my last.

    Ambiance: 7/10 - There’s an open area but it doesn’t feel great, feels very busy Food Quality: 8.5/10 - All curry tasted great. Just as expected. Service: 7/10 - Very busy at night time. Waiters are very busy so you should call them for help instead of waiting for them to cover over. Value - 7.5/10 - Good value and filling. Cleanliness: 8.5/10 - For an Indian restaurant, they are very clean. Overall Score: 38.5/50 Location - 8.5/10 - Good spot. Some parking space. Within walking distance from Xuan Thuy Menu Variety: 9/10 - There’s even Thai food. Bathroom: 8/10 - Clean. Functional. Noise: 6.5/10 - Echo because it’s open space in a villa. Very hard to have private conversation. Baba’s Kitchen is great to have fun with more people for sure. Space: 7/10 - I would like to have more space between tables but they are working with what they have. Final score: 77.5/100 We tried Fish Mango, Butter Chicken and Shrimp Masala. They are all tasted great. Definitely avoid heavy traffic time especially at weekends. Overall, solid experience. Rank: “I would bring friends here”

    brilliant food. excellent size portion. not left wanting! I had the chicken korma with sides of garlic Naan and vanilla rice (no egg in the rice, which is exactly how I like it). before the order, I was given 2 papadam and sauces for free. I'll be back!

    I've been ordering deliveries from Babas for over ten years, firstly from their branch in D1 and more recently from Thao Dien. They are hands-down the best Indian in Ho Chi Minh city. Delicious food, large portions and great service. Highly recommended.

    Great food, attentive staff and cool garden atmosphere. Good Indian food overall 💯

  • 5/5 Isaac W. 6 months ago on Google
    My recent visit to this Indian restaurant in Thao Dien, Ho Chi Minh City, was like stepping into an exotic oasis of flavors. As soon as I entered, I was greeted by the enchanting aroma of traditional Indian spices and ingredients. The food showcased the essence of authentic Indian cuisine, each dish meticulously prepared by professional chefs. The restaurant was filled with foreigners of various nationalities, and notably, it was frequented by many Indians, affirming its recognition for genuine taste. This attests to the authenticity and quality of the food served. The variety of dishes, including curries, tandoori, and biryani, delighted my palate and uplifted my spirits. The ambiance, blending traditional and contemporary Indian elements, offered comfort along with an exotic experience to the visitors. For those wanting to immerse themselves in true Indian food and culture, this restaurant is a must-visit destination in Ho Chi Minh City.

    Authentic Indian Restaurant in Ho Chi Minh City. They are variety of Indian, Sri Lanka, and Thai dishes. The food was very tasty. Especially South Indian Foods here. Highly recommend. The owner and all staffs are friendly and did a great services. Have to say, wasn't disappointed at all.

    Baba’s kitchen is our go-to whenever we have a craving for Indian food. The food is quite consistently good, barring some misses occasionally. We also love that the staff at Baba’s take pride in customer service. They were always checking in on us and in the event when they had made a mistake, they were often quick to rectify it. The atmosphere is also nice with the fairy lights outside. It is a good place for both family and business.

    I come here often with friends. They have a cool garden and very comfortable atmosphere for night time. Their food, specially, chicken tandoori and shirm curry were really yummy. Only one thing what I feel unhappy: they dont have mango sauce to eat with papadom or tandoori same as Ganesh restaurant in D7.

    Excellent food. The best in HCMC. Super nice staff. Highly recommended for Indian foods in town. I have put this restaurant in my frequent-going list.

  • 5/5 Elsie Mae L. 11 months ago on Google
    Most delightful and scrumptious Indian restaurant in Saigon! They serve both southern and northern indian menu so you'll have wide choices to pick. the garlic and cheese Nan are for the win! You will never go wrong with buttered chicken and mutton ragounjush.

    We've always ordered from Baba's Kitchen since the days when it started in Pham Ngu Lao. The Thao Dien location is amazing. Instagram worthy and fantastic food. All the Mutton dishes are superb. Oven churns out lots of fresh Naan, rotiprayta. The service is very friendly and gives advice for those new to Indian/Sri Lankan food. They also have Thai on the menu but we have never tried it...next time. It may surprise us.

  • 5/5 Nopaka 1 year ago on Google
    Space is super spacious, you won’t feel cramped at all Staff is extra friendly. They always ask if we want to top up our drinks when we ran out, and are especially accommodating The food is amazing. Recommend to try the Goa Fish Mango Curry with Lemon Rice, and Butter Chicken with anything else. Paneer is especially good starter dish. 10/10 would come here for my dose of Indian food

  • 3/5 Trung Huynh (. 1 year ago on Google
    Food is good, affordable prices. However i had a negative experience with the service here. They forgot my order or something, i have to wait over 45min-1 hour to get my food, while other tables comes later and they already finish their food ? Had to get up to the kitchen area, talk to 3-4 staffs no one said sorry. Ask them again and they said "they wait for all dishes to finish to put out" "its okay". Eventually i got a dish deducted from bill as it was not my order. be sure to sit somewhere near the kitchen / or in house so staff can see you / dont forget your order.

    Okayish flavour from an Indian palate. The food felt a little bitter I.e. both the chicken tandoori and butter chicken. They had also burnt up the chicken 65 and when we informed to the manager he did not take any action. The food wasn't bad but as an Indian I felt it lacked something. Price was a bit above average. Kerala paratha and Mango Lassi were nice. The food is halal here as confirmed by the manager.

    Great atmosphere for outside dinning! Date night friendly, and the staff were extremely professional and friendly. Our drinks were filled to the top at all times, attention to customers were almost always immediate! The waiters and waitresses are extremely knowledgeable of their foods and made sure we knew exactly was being served at all times. What made this experience even more worthy, is that our foods were brought out in correct order! Our appetizers came out first then our main dishes, which leaves enough time in between for comments and conversations without worrying that our foods would go cold! Vegetable samosas are perfect to the crunch, made our mouth’s water for more! We wished that the spices were a little bit more present in our chicken korma, but other than this the palak paneer was perfect. In future we will learn to pair better with one non spicy curry with a spicy furry which could change our experience with our taste preferences! But for now this is the first of many more date nights at Baba’s kitchen, see you again soon!
