Only bad thing about this place is that my local curry house in the uk now seems terrible compared to this place! The food is amazing, the service is bang on, the staff are so polite and friendly, really nice atmosphere, not surprised by how many good reviews it has had, if I ever venture back to Ho Chi Minh...

Great price for great food and service. Thoroughly enjoyed in a restaurant which charges backpacker prices but provides excellent service. Free perks such as wet towels, rice pudding and mineral water, in addition to 5% off bill and then rounding the total charge down means I would certainly recommend this to other travellers. In a good location in the backpacker... More

Visited here tonight and can only say it was absolutely amazing! Food is so fresh, waiters are attentive and serve free water all night and after receiving a comments card we received 5% off our bill.....Smiles all round! We had chicken jalfrezi, chicken tikka masala, jeera rice & garlic naan and it was enough to feed 3 people at least... More

Although I love Vietnamese food, my boyfriend needed a "palate" cleanser after a few days in Vietnam. We reviewed tripadvisor and found this place. I ordered the lamb makhini and my boyfriend had the butter chicken. Wow! They both were well spiced and had incredible flavor! We got some naan to soak up the juices/sauce because it was so appetizing.... More

The previous reviews are right on the money. I've never once reviewed a restaurant for TA, but I'm doing it now, as I sit here following a fabulous meal. This is authentic Indian cuisine done to perfection and at a reasonable price. We had prawn masala (great, he says - I don't eat shellfish), garlic tikka fish (also delicious and,... More

We were a group of four all varied in our taste for spice. I had the Beef Bhoona which was of a medium spice which was to the heat of that just under a jafraizi, which I thoroughly enjoyed. My partner had the Korma and gave it a top rating too. However, the others in our group found theirs to... More

To be honest, when I saw the restaurant, I was bit hesitant to go in. It located on busy street, the restaurant is rather small, but once I was in, the menu is written in English, free WiFi, and the water was served immediately which is unusual in Vietnam as we usually have to buy the water. We ordered butter... More

My bf and I usually come here/order in once a week. Butter chicken is one of our favorites. They have lunch specials during the week and lunch buffet on saturdays. Baba's Kitchen is definately the best restaurant for Indian food in Saigon. Amazing food and great service!!
