Great quality and great tasting authentic curries.
Reasonably priced.
Not that spicy so ask if you want that - great ingredients, flavours and cooking all the same.
Actually had a delivery but will visit now - best I’ve had in along time.
Yum :)

Baba's is a great local curry house! We have eaten there multiple times and have never been disappointed.  The staff are super friendly and always help us choose the best curry.
Chef always has specials which my husband is always keen to try. Me I also go for the stock standard butter chicken which never disappoints!
Its also BYOW which is great and there aren't too many places around now which you can.
Very reasonably priced menu and quaint atmosphere! If you go you won't be disappointed!

We've been meaning to go to Baba's for quite a while based on a friend's recommendation and we are so glad we did!  The food was delicious - both the entrees and mains and the peshwari naan was the best I've tried for many years. The service was great too.  We will definitely be back as this is now our number one place for an Indian Curry in Auckland.

We have been going to Baba's for the last couple of years; it is a bit out of the way but well worth the effort.  The food there is far and away the best Indian I have tasted.   A lovely family-run restaurant with a great deal of charm, you are always given the warmest of welcomes. 
The menu has recently been revamped slightly but the classics are all still there.   The butter chicken is top notch, the beef madras wonderful, and the chef's special Chicken Badami is a wonderful treat.
One thing we really appreciate is that they don't use colouring in their food like many Indian places.  The tandoori chicken gets its characteristic hue from natural ingredients, not some number from a bottle!

I almost forgot to mention the naan!  The garlic naan is the best anywhere!

My favourite curry! I keep trying to find Malai Kofta that compares but I just can't. Same deal with the Peshwari Naan. This is my go to curry restaurant with the boyfriend and it's our flat's go to takeaway dinner when all the flatmates are home and nobody wants to cook. We still have a shade of curry stain on our carpet from making the mistake of drinking while eating curry with friends in the lounge.
Baba's is one of my favourite places to dine in as the staff are great.
Love it and am holding back the urge to go there right now.

I love this place. The food is fantastic and always served with a smile. I love that they have specials as it's great to try something different. The staff are incredible and I have used their delivery service in the past. Always on time and piping hot.

We agree with all the rave comments about this little gem...indeed the best Indian restaurant we have eaten at in Auckland and to those who remember the excellent Aroma in Castor Bay would not be surprised to see the chef from there behind the kitchen counter! Whereas so many similar curry houses have their food all tasting of the same spices, this chef creates different, individual flavours. I highly recommend the subtle tastes in the prawn curry while the chicken tawa is unique.
Apart from the food, the service is superb with the lovely owner (Meghn?) ever present, warm and inviting. We dine here frequently and have taken  many friends who are all returning regularly too..
We cannot speak highly enough of Babas and are surprised to see a negative comment. Go try it!

Ordered a curry from here at the weekend. Delivered bang on time and can only say it was well worth the short wait! This was the best curry we have had since coming to NZ 9 years ago and believe me we have tried a lot. Only hope the standard continues for all the times we intend on going back.

Babas Indian restaurant has awesome food and staff. The atmosphere when dining in is fantastic along with the staff! Myself a chef for over 40yrs would say its as good as anywhere. Take- out is great..along with their delivery service. Its a 5 star venue all day! Go and enjoy!

My husband and I dined in at this cute little restaurant a couple of weeks ago, and we were very happy with the service, the people were very friendly, and the atmosphere was great. There were a number of people dineing in which made it Lively and actually more comfortable cause it wasn't to quiet. The food was lovely, I especially liked the Garlic naan bread which must have been cooked fresh, as it came to the table piping hot. The two person shared platter that we got was also a great starter, in fact, that with a naan bread was just about filling enough for me. Would be a great place to take friends, it wasn't too expensive and even the alcoholic beverages were well priced. I'm very interested in trying the next thing on the menu.

Delighted to find an authentic Indian restaurant tucked away in this little corner of West Auckland. The palak paneer was delicious and the tandoori chicken would've been perfect had it not been a little dry. Will be returning to try out the other items on the menu.

Babas main point of difference is the quality of the dishes. They are better than the main stream Indian offer. Taste delights every time. Service is top notch and they home deliver to the local area.

Great indian. Despite living in the area for years and trying many indian places this is my number 1. Very good prices too, and their selection of curries and naans is probably the best I've seen at an indian restaurant. Also very authentic too
