A family member wanted some samosas. I told him not to go to Baba Sweets but he insisted so he went and this is what he brought home. It was so greasy, burnt and bad that he had to throw it away. Too unhealthy to eat. He'd also gotten the meat ones so it was just a complete waste of money. Very disappointing. Sometimes the service is hit and miss as well. The store is small and there is room to eat but not a place to go for atmosphere. Better to take out if you go here. read more

I ordered 3 plates of Chole Bature and saag Paneer from this restaurant during my stay in Vancouver. The food was good and fresh. The quality was good and portion size generous. It's a decent restaurant for a quick meal. read more

Came to pick up, girls hiding in the kitchen pretended no one was here. Poor attitude gives/gets a bad review for sure.

This is a pretty popular place. I dropped by here on Saturday late afternoon to buy some samosas. The 4 tables were taken, having a late lunch or early dinner at about 4pm. There was a 10 minutes wait for the samosas and during that period, more people came in to order take out. People also came here to order huge quantity of food for their parties. From what I overheard, you could just call them 2-3 days in advance to place the order. I ordered 2 beef samosas, 2 chicken samosas, 2 veggie samosas and gulab jamun. The price of the veggie samosa has increased to $0.99 each. That is quite pricey now? The samosas were freshly fried and came with the tangy-sweet dip. They remained crispy and warm even after an hour despite the cold weather. Of them, I like the veggie samosa best (mostly potato in it), followed by the beef. Both were minced but the beef had a stronger flavor than the chicken. The gulab jamun was delicious. It did not come with syrup but it was not needed. It was sweet enough. If you ever need a jolt of sugar, eat this. It will wake you up. Besides plain, it also came sprinkled with desiccated coconut. I will like to go back again to try the thali meal and other dishes. read more

Check your bill total!!! They lady charged me 9.50 for 6 veg samosas (0.99 each). Because she didn't actually tell me how much I was paying and just turned the interact machine on the counter to me I just tapped and left. I realized within four minutes that she overcharged me and called back. I was transferred to three different Indian ladies all of whom didn't know who did it. Finally the last lady asked me to come back with the receipt (because she's on her lunch break and can't help me right now) and she would look into it. Wtf?! Well seeing as how they didn't give me an actual receipt just a visa receipt I can't prove anything and I'm not driving through traffic for her to "look into it". I have a feeling they probably do this often. I'm actually pretty pissed off that I tipped her on top of it!!! They should call themselves Baba Shady The icing on the cake was that for six samosas I was giving one small container of chutney. Cheap and a rip off! read more

Baba Sweets & Restaurant - Seriously?! - Indian Near Me - Burnaby, British Columbia

Great sweets! Good value! Nice people! I highly recommend the Pakora! Beautiful Samosas too. One of the best in the area! Go try it. read more

This place is a complete rip off. Overpriced and small portions. This place continues to break health code violations as well. See latest Fraser Health Violation Report: Current Hazard Rating: High - April 22, 2021 Don't support this overpriced business. read more

Baba Sweets gave the best samosas and Tikki Masala ever! Also the garlic naan and garlic roti are so delicious! Family owned and run!

I was threading my eyebrows next door for $5 (Money's) and so I decided to check this place out. Samosas are $0.8 for veggie/$1.99 for chicken or beef for take out. I ordered 2 beef and 2 chicken samosas to try. I ordered at 11:41am. The order is ready at 11:54am. The samosas do not come with sauce, FYI. They do accept Visa and MC though. The inside is quite small, but there are 3 quad tables for dine-in patrons. We see a rotation of younger groups of East Indians coming in for take out - signs of approval (as I am not East Indian). They do have another location in Surrey, which I haven't tried. The taste, size, price: $2/samosa is pretty high...but then it has meat filling. There is very minimal spice and flavour. It is about the same size as other samosas I have had. Overall: Not coming back for samosas. read more

What a comedy show here at Baba. The cashier/order taker rolls her eyes if asked a question. I was given dry jaman, asked for syrup, eye roll, but I did get the syrup. The tikka chicken pieces were seriously tiny, as small as a Cornish Hen. The veg samosa has shrunk in size and increased in price. The fries were outstanding, with lots of crunch and spice. It has been a few years since I have been to Baba. This used to be a good little shop (it too, seems smaller) with fair pricing. The prices have increased dramatically - another long time customer and I compared our take out orders - he left disappointed. Two of us won't be returning. The eye roll is entertaining, though. read more

This was the first place I ordered food from in BC. Coming from the bay area, I had decent expectations. The food was so bad, that I was incredibly happy once the food was over. I am pissed at myself that I ordered 3 dishes (to skip ordering for 2-3 days). The price point is high and the food is bad. The hosts's behavior was good. But the place is not worth it, with so many other options available. read more

This is my go to place for veg samosas. Currently 80 cents each. I'm from North Van, so don't get there often enough. read more

Tasty and affordable. It is really a great choice. Their creamy sauce curry is my favorite. But I also enjoy their cauliflower amd potato. Nan bread is very good too read more

Baba Sweets & Restaurant is located really close to the border of Burnaby and New Westminster. It's not a place for a sit down meal, but this is where I go to pick up samosas when I'm having a pot luck. I'm not sure if they're the best deal in town at $2.00 per meat samosa and $0.80 per veggie samosa, but they're delicious. Credit cards accepted as well. read more

3.5. We ordered biryani, butter chicken, and garlic naan to go. Even though we had to wait a bit, the food was still hot and tasted really fresh. Prices are very good, especially compared to some of the other choices in the area. We would repeat and recommend. read more

Baba Sweets & Restaurant - Chana Bhature and veggie samosas $6.40!!!! So filling - Indian Near Me - Burnaby, British Columbia

Have been getting veggie samosas from here for years and they're always fantastic. Recently got the Aloo Tikki and was awesome. Their Chana Masala and veggie pakoras are also delicious. Haven't been disappointed yet. read more

I'm making a Yelp account specifically for this review. I think you'll understand why. My girlfriend and I often order delivery through JustEat and DoorDash. Yesterday we decided to give Baba Sweets a shot, given that it had pretty favourable Yelp reviews and was more affordable than some of the other Indian places in our area. This, despite the fact that the photos online showed a pretty sketchy-looking hole in the wall and some less-than-favourable anecdotes about the service. But I'm not one to judge a book by its cover. We ordered dal makhani, mutter paneer, naan/roti, the vegetable samosa appetizer, and some additional meat samosas to eat with the leftovers. The food was all above average; definitely great for the price. I was confident that we'd found our new go-to Indian place. ... That is, until I had the leftovers today. As I cut into one of the meat samosas, something hard rolled onto my plate. I shit you not, it was a ****ing metal screw, and it came from inside the meat samosa. I'm not a fussy eater. I'll pluck a hair off my meal at a restaurant and keep eating without too much thought. But this is some next-level shit. How does a rusty metal screw get inside of a samosa? What if I was eating it with my hands, not a fork and knife? It's a shame, because without this incident, I very likely would have ordered from Baba's again. Let my experience serve as a lesson to future patrons: sometimes the cover says all you need to know about the book. read more

This slightly dodgy-looking little place in a nowhere neighbourhood serves up some of the best Indian takeout around. Case in point: I took their samosas and pakoras to a party, and everyone who ate one asked me where I had ordered from. Plus, they were super cheap. They serve a full menu of Indian specialties, and while they do have tables for eating in, ambiance is not the major selling point of this joint. I suggest phoning in an order and taking your cheap, deelishus food to go. read more

They have good veg samosas. The lady who was ringing my order up was very rude and was rolling her eyes when i asked questions about my order. An even bigger eye roll when i asked for my receipt, and when she did print it out, all that was on it was the price I don't think i will be going back for awhile. read more

Yummy yummy yummy!!! And on the cheap!!! Everything I've tasted there was cooked to perfection. The veggie samosas are to die for. Every time I went there I would buy half-a-dozen to take home. Even the mango lassies here are better than most places. Based just on food taste and quality, price, and value this place would get more than 5 out of 5 stars from me. The place it self is not very nice to look at or well kept and the women that work there always seem to be angry and are oftentimes too busy talking amongst themselves to serve patrons promptly. Don't go there if you are in a rush. But if you have some time and don't mind the rude service, the food is worth it. AND... if you need to get your eyebrows threaded the place next door is fast, cheap, and good and you can have them done while your food is prepared. :) read more

Although many Indian restaurants have opened up in the area, Baba Sweets is still my favourite for take out. I especially like their Chilli Chicken and Butter Chicken . They are also known for their great Samosa's. I have been coming here for years and the service has always been great! read more

The butter chicken and samosas are good, however last time I went and ordered lots of food ($30 worth) for take out, I got home and noticed they had not included any chutney with my samosas. They have every other time... Was it because I only ordered 4? If so it would have been nice to have been told because I would have purchased some. Really disappointing to get home and not be included the sauce or informed why. Just because I am a pale white girl does not mean I do not like some chutney!! Also - I had to remind them to give my change back. read more

Don't get fool by the look. This restaurant look simple and plain from outside. Their food is 5 STARS!! I'm an International Indian food lover. I had been to Indian restaurants of many countries including Japan, Taiwan, Canada and YES! All the way to INDIA. I was hungry and looking for a quick snack and getting Samosa there. But my purchase was only $3 so couldn't use my card and I didn't have enough cash with me. So I order their combo set - Thali. Little do I know, this is by far one of the best taste food that I ever try. No corner and short cuts. The ingredients in the food are so good, everything was hot and fresh. I would totally recommend my friends and family to come to this place for best taste Indian food! read more

I saw this in passing on the way to another eatery and decided to book mark it on March 8th for future reference. This is a modest and simple place. I got a box of desserts for a special celebration. Prices were very reasonable. Very awesome customer service. read more

Mm, butter chicken love. It's a tiny bit spicier than usual, but so tasty. It is a ghetto take-out place, so don't go in expecting to sit down. read more

This was the go to Indian take out for a few years. Food is good but it feels like they don't want your business as they scowl at you from behind the counter. The last three times I was there they short changed me, as much as 10 dollars one of the times. When I brought it to their attention there was no apologies, they just open the till and hand over the money with a dirty look. I guess they get irritated when people count their change to make sure its correct. Needless to say after the third time I realized this is not a simple mistake and obviously deliberate. Too bad because the food is good. Indian Bombay bistro across the street is the new go to. It's cleaner, cheaper, tasty and they greet you with smiles rather than dirty looks! read more

Please do not support this business! They are very unclean just look at the health inspection records and the food is terrible. I have ordered dishes which were literally inedible and smelled rancid. This place has been shut down in the past for being dirty, and they continue to have health code violations. The owners do not care if about the health of their customers. DO NOT SUPPORT THIS BUSINESS!!! read more

I am not blaming the restaurant but the lady who is the cashier is very rude, it looked like she dosen't likes people coming in and she never greets, very unwelcoming environment, worst customer service ever! read more

Absolutely love their samosas and sweets! Pretty cheap for samosas but only for a walk in, as you can get one veggie samosa for 80 cents. And their desserts, especially their gulab jamun is divine. I always have to get some whenever I drop by. One of my favourite Indian places. Also people seem to be too concerned with the deco for any restaurant/cafe/food places/etc these days. As long as it's clean what does it matter? Trendy hip restaurants are nice and all but sometimes a good mom and pop shop is nice as well. No fancy decor needed to have nice food. read more

This review is solely for the one beef samosa I tried. It was very greasy (more so than your average samosa) and the beef feeling was rather tasteless. read more

Amazing, authentic Indian food! Their vegetarian options are all phenomenal! Take out is definitely your best option as their storefront isn't terribly large. read more

Food here is great for the the price you are paying. Lunch specials are a good choice for a quick lunch. The place does not look very nice, but the ladies at the kitchen prepare homemade Indian food, and you can pick how spicy you want it. Not very friendly service, but efficient. It's not the best Indian food ever tried. But, again, good for the price. It deserves an opportunity if you pass by there. I prefer this place more than the Indian Bistro across the street. That other one looks nicer, and not bad neither. But not that cheap and not better. Haven't tried the sweets. Samosas are very very popular and cheap. read more

I used to roll my eyes reading these bad attitude comments until now. That aloo paratha was good but when i wished the dude happy diwali looking at the sweets table, he ignored me the first time and the second time upon repeating he said , "its actually tomorrow but thanks for your .." and walked away. Cool it with the attitude guys! read more

My friend watched the cook drop a bunch of samosas on the floor, then pick them up and put them back in the pot. She told the cook and other staff they couldn't serve food that had been on the floor. She was told not to worry, hers were already cooked. Mmm, extra crunchy :P read more

The food is aw., when picking up for take out., just make Sure you have All your dishes you ordered., other than that it's all good.

A lot of selection for vegetarian food. I ordered shahi paneer, malai kofta, chili paneer, raita, and naan. All the food tasted fresh and was full of flavor. Service was fast and friendly. I definetely suggest everyone to try chili paneer, though everything else was good too. There was a lot more on the menu that I want to try if I'm in the area in the future. read more

Usually the impression is that they are not pleased with your business. The food determines our return and for that reason we keep coming back. Today, however, the attitude was excellent and the service was great. Don't know if the other people were spoken to; but this new response to the customer is what is expected. Their variety and quality of food is the best around. Generous with their portions and extremely reasonably priced. So if you are looking for a top notch Indian restaurant...I would strongly recommend BABA. Unfortunately their seating is not good and cramped but for take out it is superb. read more

For disabled access, it's so so; a steep concrete ramp but one can do it. Butter chicken was a bit too sweet and not enough flavours. Good desserts though. Good counter service from a young man who was rushed but willing to answer my questions about their dishes. Prices very reasonable. Got a butter chicken lunch to go, came with a decent amount of rice, fresh hot pita bread. Also got 2 desserts (barfi, and another round donut) and 2 $1 containers of chutney for $17. The chutneys were a bit bland as well. read more

Horrible food and dirty. Very rude a service. I don't imagine that they will be in business much longer.
