Babur is a small, smart, relaxed neighbourhood Indian restaurant.
Regular customers describe it as West End dining at neighborhood prices. Harden’s restaurant guide says: “ ‘You just don’t expect restaurants of this quality deep in SE London suburbia’ – this ‘classy’ modern Indian in Honor Oak Park, offers ‘wonderfully original’ cuisine and ‘exceptional’ service.”

This was not an ideal visit - we were late for the theatre down the road and only had 40 minutes to spare. They were great and dealt with us very well. Such a pity though to have to race through the meal. A few comments. The cocktails are wonderful and the mocktails great. Really fresh. And small details are good too - the jug of tapwater was icy fresh. We have mains each plus popadoms and a nan and it came to £55 which isn't cheap. Highlights were the green beans which were buttery and fragrant and the peshwari nan, Would think twice about the king prawn dish - slightly bland and very expensive £19 I think. More...

My first visit last week with a friend who has been dining here for years. The food was exquisite. Really nicely spiced and unusual combinations and dishes. There was a relaxed vibe and we had a really good evening. We didn’t do the tasting menu but I’m going back to try it after Christmas. More...

Awesome as ever. Takeaway the restaurant food, better than the takeaway nearby which whilst good is not as good or efficient.

Wow!! Amazing food! By no means the cheapest Indian restaurant but they are clearly not catering for your run of the mill type of customers i. e A curry after 10 pints in the boozer! Very impressive service, decor, stripped back menu focusing on quality dishes rather than quantity and also good wine list. Best Indian food i have eaten in a restaurant. The restaurant was constantly full with customers eagerly waiting. Will visit again 100%. Wouldn't be out of place in Knightsbridge or Kensington. Go and experience it immediately. More...

As always the food here is amazing in this hidden south London gem. I really think this would be pushing 1 Michelin star in central London. Very thoughtful and good wine list also. More...

Came for the Sunday lunch buffet. There were about a variety of 8 different dishes, a salad bar, and naan with rice. The curries were all good, but not exceptional (it's a buffet after all), but I'm taking off a star because there wasn't a single dish that was actually spicy. The drinks are delicious though, and I would highly recommend! More...
