Maybe not

Casual and relaxed. I recommend it.

First date fare!

Fit for a night with Aishwarya Rai and Zeenat Aman

Babur doesn't have that typical decor and feel usually associated with Indian Restaurants. When you enter, there's no clay pots or sitar soundtrack on the stereo. What you get is a 'Toronto cafe' ambiance, down to the checkered table covers, and view of Queen Street. If you enjoy mild indian food, with an atmosphere which is less in (dian) your face, then you'll be comfortable here. The Goan Fish Curry is the highlight of the menu, along with a wide variety of tandoor dishes. Much to my disappointment, there were no notable desserts except for the gulab jamun. The wait staff was pleasant, but a little slow.

I recommend these mouth watering morsels:

Meat: Goan Fish Curry or Mango Chicken
Vegetarian: Shashlik Paneer from the tandoor
Desert: Gulab Jamun

Dinner for two:
