Baba's Kitchen Indian Restaurant - Thao Dien - Indian restaurant in Ho Chi Minh City

Not typically a big fan of Indian food but this place is an exception. Absolutely delicious food. Service is really good and nice atmosphere especially outside. Place is clean and good. Will be coming back.

Absolutely excellent South Indian food. The dosa was perfectly crisp and golden, generously filled, and served with a fantastic selection of chutneys and sambar – each one fresh, distinct, and full of flavour. Portions were generous, presentation was clean and inviting, and everything tasted authentic and thoughtfully prepared. Simple, honest food done really well. Highly recommend if you’re craving a proper dosa in a relaxed setting.

Authentic Indian cuisine, in a very nice environment. The outside terrace is a huge plus. We ordered the butter chicken and it was enough for two people. They give free crispy bread upon arrival, and also some small free type of naan. The dessert was also free ! Highly recommended !

Baba’s Indian hits that perfect craving spot—no fuss, just solid, authentic Indian food that does exactly what you want it to. The butter chicken comes out rich and heavy in the best way, with that deep, slow-cooked flavour that sticks with you. Garlic naan is soft, slightly crisp on the edges, and honestly worth ordering extra just to mop everything up. It’s not trying to be flashy or reinvent anything—it just delivers. Portions are generous, prices feel fair, and the whole vibe is easy. One of those places you end up going back to without overthinking it.

After not visiting Baba's Kitchen Thao Dien for quite some time, I recently decided to give it another try—and I’m genuinely glad I did. It feels like the place has taken a noticeable step forward compared to how I remember it before. First off, the food itself was very tasty. That’s the simplest way to put it, but it’s also the most important. The flavors felt more balanced and refined than before—rich without being overwhelming, and clearly made with more attention to detail. Whether it was the curries, the spices, or the overall execution, everything came together well. You can tell there’s been an improvement either in the kitchen or consistency, or both. One thing that stood out was how satisfying the meal felt overall. Sometimes Indian food can be hit or miss depending on the restaurant, but here it felt like they’ve dialed things in better. The dishes tasted fresher, cleaner, and more intentional than what I remember from previous visits. It’s also worth mentioning that when a place improves over time, it says something. Many restaurants plateau or decline—but this felt like the opposite. Coming back after a long gap and noticing improvement is a strong positive signal. Overall, this try of then changed my perception of Baba’s Kitchen in Thao Dien. It’s no longer just “another option” in the area—it’s now somewhere I’d actually consider returning to regularly when I’m in the mood for Indian food. Simple takeaway: much better than before, and very tasty. That’s a solid combination.
