We were walking along Queen Street looking for a place to eat, when we came along Babur. There is so much to choose from on Queen St. when it comes to restaurants, but having customers inside is always a good indication of a decent restaurant. And there was a constant flow of satisfied looking diners the whole time we were at Babur (including us).

The restaurant is clean and simple (although I’d get rid of the plaid tablecloths) and the service was very fast and attentive.

The samosas were amazing and the perfect appetizers. Our dinner was good (not the absolute best we've had, but definitely a close second I think). We weren't sure if we had ordered enough, but we were stuffed and didn't even have room for dessert! I'm glad we've found another great Indian restaurant to frequent!
