Tina HilllJune 21, 2017What's not to love at Babu Ji? Great cocktails, delicious food and fun atmosphere. And of course must celebrate a birthday there!
NDecember 7, 2018Staff are so friendly. I don’t know what these floral circles are but they’re so good it’s vegetarian and you must it all at once to get all the sauces inside! The shrimp coconut was good too 👌🏼
Caroline SchulweisOctober 14, 2017Loved the food! The cauliflower was great and spicy. Also loved the butter chicken with rice. Good beer selection too (it’s serve yourself from their beer fridge).
Ivona HrnciarovaApril 30, 2018Definitely order Gol Gappa as a starter. You have to try these tamarind, dates & yogurt “one-bite-bombs” before you start enjoying the dinner!
HeidiFebruary 12, 2018If anyone wants the $62 Tasting Menu, the whole table must order it. It’s good for people new to Indian food but I felt hungry and unsatisfied. Homemade kulfi and bourbon cocktail were excellent.
Aja BrandmanApril 1, 2018Delicious food and presentation. Can’t go wrong with anything on the menu, but the highlight was the short rib korma. Many options for vegetarians / gluten free as well.
hania albraikanMarch 13, 2018Cucumber salad and chicken butter, lamb kebab,basmati rice,gol gappa were our orders everything was so good, cozy restaurant with small menu. I will come again 👌🏼
Shyamal RuparelMarch 26, 2018Happy hour is a killer value. Service and food are great. You can't go wrong with the butter chicken.
Divya VasudevanOctober 14, 2017Tasty food, but tiny portions, highly overpriced. EVERY dish was decorated with a flower (could improve creativity of presentation). Given an abundance of good Indian places in NYC, unlikely to return
IrmaZandl ZandlSlantOctober 22, 2017Get the tasting menu - delish. My faves include goi gappa, colonel Taos cauliflower, tandoori chicken and the unauthentic butter chicken
Tom Crypto UKAugust 30, 2017First time I ever had Indian food was at this place and I was not disappointed. Along with great food, this food has exceptional service as well. Overall great spot and I definitely will be returning.
Lauren SmithMarch 17, 2019Love Babu Ji - awesome vibes and food 🙏🏻 Order: Colonel Tso’s Cauliflower, Yogurt Kebab, Unauthentic Butter Chicken & Silver Ferns Lamb Chops.
Deepa MirchandaniSeptember 26, 2019Great cocktails, the cauliflower starter, kabab and butter chicken are all excellent. It was my first time trying cauliflower rice and it was great too!
Brandi JacobiSeptember 24, 2018Food was great Bentley is a great server. Explained the menu. Very attentive to our needs. Will definitely return. Get the cauliflower and the brussel sprouts. Delish.
Chelsea BalkanJuly 22, 2017#DubiDO #FabuLIST love the new location! Try Gol Gappa, cauliflower, coconut shrimp curry and lamb chops. If you still have room -- get chicken entree. Be prepared to wait but restaurant will text!
- Jack OsborneOctober 1, 2018Go with friends and get the tasting menu. The Gol Gappa, as the starter blew my mind, I think about it at least once a week.
Danny NathanApril 7, 2019Delicious! The colonel Tao's cauliflower is awesome (but spicy) and the palak paneer is some of the best I've had.
Crypto ConsumerJuly 13, 2017Fantastic sot if your looking for some real authentic Indian food! Highly recommend this place.
Nidhi KayDecember 23, 2019General Tso Cauliflower and coconut lime chicken was good, also recommend don’t tell auntie drink, cool ambience
Everything is good. The tandoori chicken is fantastic, as is the butter chicken and cauliflower.- Lauren SmithMarch 17, 2019Must drink the ‘Sardarni Ji’ —> hendrick's gin, elderflower, black pepper, cucumber, lime, celery bitters 🥃🥃🥃🥃
Kathryn DMarch 29, 2019Very sceney. Food is good and fun for groups but not the best Indian in town.
TrinityJanuary 4, 2019food was good (coconut shrimp curry 👌🏼, rainbow carrots were tasteless) & great service but the ambiance is a lil phony- Chad HornerFebruary 25, 2018lacks the charm of the original Alphabet City location but the food is still great!
H & NJuly 11, 2019Loved the yogurt chicken very very delicious. Nice presentation of the food. Lamp chops are to die for. In general everything tastes yummy
Justin BretonJune 5, 2017Babu Ji is the best Indian Food I have ever had! Without a doubt, the Chef's Tasting menu is the way to go! You literally get to taste almost the entire menu, including the cauliflower.
Samantha 💃 LopezJune 27, 2017Mediocre and overpriced Indian food (as an Indian). Garlic Naan, General Tso Cauliflower were very tasty.
