The bloke on the left. Well he’s our father, our Babuji. His journey started back in 1959. Before arriving in the UK Babuji decided to travel through Bangladesh, India then Pakistan, teaching, learning and eating lots on the way. In particular the street stalls of Calcutta, Mumbai, and Lahore were his favourites. Our food is a homage to the street vendors and Cafés of South Asia. Combining dishes that Babuji encountered in his journey. From Bengali bites, to street stall favourites of Mumbai, and traditional homely Pakistani dishes. By the way, we eat with our hands, cos that’s the Babuji way.

    I've already taken three sets of friends/colleagues here! I love it! It's like fusion Indian food, but more affordable than most places, and delicious. The manager is great and attentive. I'll be back soon.

    We were heading to the Forum and Babuji is just across from the tube. It's not posh with plush seating but my goodness the food is good. We had a couple of chaats as starters and I had the Bengali prawn curry. I tried some of daughter's lamb curry too. Excellent. The service was really friendly and the food came along quickly enough that we were not worried about being late for the show, We had a great time and next Forum concert we'll be back.

    I turned up with my opentable booking but they said they didn’t have a table free. Potentially an open table issue but it wasn’t clear and was pretty annoying.
