Authentic taste, reassuring menu, and the heart of India brought right here into Southampton. Before stepping foot into Baboo ji, I had imagined it to be a gloomy, lonely place. I mean, who would want to have vegetarian Indian food -- isn't that an oxymoron? But after having one meal here, I am not surprised by the amount of crowd I witnessed there, and it was not just Indians, I could see a lot of non-Indians enjoying food equally. I'd give full credit to the taste, the ambience, and the hardworking staff. They are everything a traditional Indian restaurant should be. Kudos! And I will keep visiting them until I've tasted the whole of their menu. :-)
Great restaurant and pleased we visited. Food was great but would liked to of seen more variety and some Indian drinks like a lassi or chaas. Also be so much better if the music choice reflected the culture of the restaurant.
Great food. Very delicious. The best daal makhni and naan i had in UK. But you may find the staff too busy to attend or serve you. Though they were very polite and humble. It took long to serve us but definitely worth the wait.
We went as a group just 40 min before it was about to close, the staff was very helpful and let us dine even after knowing it would take long to serve all of us. Both food and staff didn’t let us down, also the restaurant is very colourful. Thank you guys
Brilliant place, been several times the food is outstanding. Fresh different & perfectly cooked. Service is great friendly & knowledgeable, last visit the serving staff were run off there feet could have done with another. Felt for them, still did a fabulous job!

Friendly restaurant, great selection of starters and mains. The Bengaluru Wings, paneer makhani and the biryani were particularly good.
Visited here after my son's graduation and loved it. The shared plates were an amazing range of tastes and textures. The service was relaxed and friendly and the complementary glass of prosecco was a really nice touch. Would recommend highly.
This place is amazing! As a vegetarian having a restaurant where I can eat anything on the menu is already great, but the food here is delicious! Unlike any other food like it it’s not overpowering with spice, but instead you can taste all of the herbs and flavours within the dish! It’s also great value for money. You leave not feeling super overfull, but like you’ve had a good meal, and hungry to come back again. I came here for my birthday and definitely will be coming back ASAP! :) <3
An absolute gem! Great service, amazing food, particularly the tandoori mushrooms. Come here even if you’re not a vegetarian. You won’t regret it!
Baboo Ji is by far and away my favourite place to go for a really nice vegetarian/plant-based Indian food. Their Sharer plates is a great idea for 2 people because you get a nice variety of options included, along with THE World's Best Tadka Dal (seriously, there's nothing else like it!), and it's all in really unique surroundings as well.
