The Baba Indian Restaurant review
review by: Jamie
02nd 2008f January 2008
I recently visited BaBas restaurant on New Year’s Eve for a meal for two with my girlfriend. I arrived at the restaurant for 9pm when my booking had been made for 2 weeks previous. However when I went to confirm my booking BaBas had failed to write it down and therefore I had no table booked for the restaurant. Luckily for us a couple who were already there and had not sat down to eat yet offered us our table but we declined and asked for a table where all four of us could sit. BaBas did have a table for 4 so luckily we managed to sit down. However before we sat down I noticed the manager was very friendly towards customers he knew and even appeared to offer them a table before other paying customers who had been waiting longer.
Anyway we were happy to get a seat and thought the worst part of the evening was over. We were wrong. We sat down at approximately 9.20pm but our main course did not arrive till 11.25pm. I believe we ordered our main course about 9.30pm with no starter and expected it to arrive within the hour. This is poor service and not good enough no matter how busy the restaurant is. Even when we got our food it was barely warm and had no taste to it. Once we had finished the waiter appeared to be hurrying us out of the restaurant even though there were several tables free for any customer who wanted to come in.
This is the worst experience I have ever had eating out and will from now on be avoiding BaBas restaurant.
I strongly advice anyone thinking of eating at BaBas to avoid it as all aspects of the restaaurant were generally poor and shoddy.

The Baba Indian Restaurant Penzance

The quickest way to summarise the Baba is to say you pay for what you get - i.e. it's more expensive than all the other Indian restaurants but the food is far superior, as is the super friendly service.
I had a prawn madras, which was as good as any I've had. However, it wasn't my meal that impressed me as most places can knock out a decent hot prawn curry. It was what other people were eating particularly the 'thali' (I think that's what it was called) which was a variety of main courses all of which tasted great and came in a more than generous serving.
At the end of the day this is a proper restaurant so don't be suprised to pay the same prices you would in any of the other upmarket restaurants in the area. That said you get a level of presentation and service that you'll find hard to beat.
