Indian cuisine lovers, there’s a restaurant in Athens you should visit! I was introduced to Babaji about six months ago on a lunch break with two colleagues. I’d already tried out another Indian restaurant a few blocks down and I was eager to explore this one too. I loved all of the dishes we tried out and especially the Chicken Kashmir (with litchi fruit, pictured above) and the Sweet Pulao (basmati rice with saffron, pictured below left). So I returned once more with my husband to try out more!
Of course we ordered Chicken Kashmir once more as well as Lamb Korma(pictured below). We topped off our order with Paratha bread (delicious) and a Green Salad. Everything was very yummy and I should add that every main dish is accompanied with a rice bowl, so you don’t have to order extra! What I also love in Babaji is that the food isn’t over the top spicy and I enjoy it without the urgent need of water!
Essential Information: Babaji is conveniently located in 11 Nikis street, a block down from Syntagma square, so it’s very central! It’s mostly ideal for lunch breaks during the week, but I like to visit it on weekends as well. The do not take reservations, but do offer delivery service! More information can be found on their Facebook page.
I love Baba Ji! The location is convenient and the food is great! I love how they also offer take out and “to go” wraps, so if you’re in Athens for shopping and hungry, you can simply grab a wrap and go 😉
I haven’t tried the wraps but all the dishes I’ve tried are delicious!!
Mmmm, sounds delicious! My husband and I love Indian food. The dishes you mention sound different than the ones that are typically prepared in here. It would be great to have the opportunity to try them.
well I know that some sauces are common: Tikka Masala and Korma for example. The other thing I’ve heard is that India has various cuisines so there will be difference from restaurant to restaurant.
