    Baba Sweets, I'm sweet on you! This authentic Punjabi - north India & Bangladesh + Pakistan cuisine sweets, treats and more spots are full of flavor and wander. If you're a fan of Indian, you'll definitely enjoy Baba. Celebrating 15 years recently this Canoga Park hidden gem is a fully vegetarian dessertery and restaurant. We stopped in to try their complimentary buffet including so many yummy eats. The Naan, Aloo Paratha (potato bread), Baingan Bharta (eggplant) Chana Masala (chickpeas), Aloo Gobhi (Cauliflower Potato Curry) and Basmati Rice among other things were incredible - vegan by default favs. There was some Saag Paneer, but I know this is a fully vegetarian dish with plenty of cheese/dairy. It was very much enjoyed by my boyfriend as were tons of buttery, creamy delights here. We did a plate and a half each. The spice ranges from mild to medium/moderate, but I don't mind even more heat, actually a lot of heat. I know if you're not familiar with Indian cuisine and culture you might not know that the range of spices is vast, but it isn't only to add immense flavors. It also aids in loads of health benefits which is the sweetest thing about this San Fernando Valley staple. Neighborhood energy, service and care making it a true hidden must be part of LA's melting pot. Located in a semi industrial part of Canoga just east of the Orange Line Busway path in a stand alone lot off Saticoy Street/Deering Avenue - there is both tons of street parking and lot parking. Restroom for customers - gender neutral - left of the main restaurant itself. Seating outside as well as in, though they moved everything full outdoors when we visited to ensure a smooth flow for the buffet. Also offering bottles of water, napkins, utensils and even masala chai. Hoping to try more next time, especially their samosas in-person as I've heard good things and had the pleasure of trying via a friend long ago. Support Baba Sweets :)

    This is an amazing place to have really authentic Indian food. I like all the sweets and snacks they made. If you are visiting LA this place is must, however it is little ahead of LA but worth visiting. I like their chole bhature, same taste water crave here. Their Indian snacks are so fresh and good and write now they have plenty of varieties for Diwali including Diwali diyas. It is always busy, but their service is generally faster and they give complementary Indian tea too. Must visit !!!!

    Baba Sweets used to be our go to place for having authentic Punjabi food, Indian sweets and savories. They serve simple food that's so well prepared and just feels like comfort food. All the dishes served here are vegetarian! My favorites were Dal Makhni, Paneer Curry, Aloo Gobi, Punjabi Chole, Gulab Jamoon, Carrot Halwa, Malai sandwich sweet, Namak para, Gur para & Samosa. Neat and decent ambience A must visit place if you're a vegetarian or love to try Indian cuisine.

    Drove all the way out here coz my husband really wanted to check them out. We had some chaat, chana bhatura, and tried some sweets. The food was delicious but the sweets were meh. I'm not sure it's worth the trip coming from South Bay..

    I had wanted to sample the food here for quite some time. I finally stopped by and bought a 3 item combo. I enjoyed my food. Service was helpful. Dining room was busy but clean. Parking was not difficult. If you like seasonings and flavorful vegan and vegetarian food, Baba Sweets is a great choice. And the carrot dessert that came with my combo was deliciously memorable.

    If you are fond of freshly cooked vegetables or at that matter, can take a break to have vegetarian food for a few days, why not try Baba Sweets. It is one of a few vegetarian Indian eateries that have a daily fresh hot case with enticing and tasty options to either dine in or take home. Baba Sweets has mouthwatering Punjabi favorites that make you coming back for more. The food is prepared fresh daily, with a rotating menu that always delivers on consistency, high quality, taste and intoxicating flavors.

    They have the best Sweets in the Valley. This is a nice vegetarian family run business! They always are so friendly

    Craving Indian, this is a must-try! No frills, just a "quick" pick and go type restaurant. I put quick in quotes due to depending on line. There is a line to get into, wait your turn, get help from the person calling you to come up to the counter. Two item combo? Three item? Only a few bucks difference and lots of food extra. I always opt for the larger combo, so worth it. Saag is only available on Sundays, I know cause it's my favorite and I've asked a handful of times, lol. Their samosa is delicious, and always hits the spot. When you get your Naan (bread - comes with a combo), eat it fresh, eat it soon, the longer it sits and gets steamed in the heat bag, it changes it. The people working there are nice and friendly, and very helpful if you need some help or explaining. The carrot dessert is awesome as it is quite balanced. Sweet, but not super sweet. The Gulab Jamun is good too. Thick, but not dense, however, it is super sweet, good thing you only get one. Definitely try this place, it's one of my go-to places all the time.

    This place is a gem. Their food is delightful and reasonable price. They also have Indian desserts. Definitely will return to explore more of their menu.

    Burfi (pistachio was my fave)
    Mmmeat E.

    This review is for the mitai. We made a quick stop while in the area for a family dinner. Picked up a box of assorted burfi and some jalebi. It's was definitely fresh! The prices are also good at about $10lbs. I would've like to try their hot foods if I wasn't already on the way to a dinner party. Although I definitely smelled like their hot food for the rest of the night from 5 mins of being in the store.

    Daal, garlic naan, butter paneer,

    This is my favorite Indian food restaurant in the valley and maybe of all time. My dad has been taking me and my sisters here since we were kids and they've maintained their great quality of food and service since then. Even when I'm not in the country I miss it dearly. Their food is authentic, delicious and very filling!! It's so important to be respectful towards the staff since they work very hard! They also offer free chai on occasion which is also delicious and their sweets are absolutely incredible though I mainly come for their lunch buffet

    chole bhature
    Anchal B.

    This place is the biggest hidden gem! My family has been coming here for years, and it is seriously the best place for purely authentic Punjabi food! The line goes by fairly quickly, and once you get to the counter, you place your order all at once. They let you sit down and eat first and then you go back to the counter to pay. They give out free chai as well, which is a very great bonus. The food is high quality, I highly recommend the chole bhature as well, the chole is flavorful and packed with spices and the bhature are so soft, and fluffy. Also make sure to grab some samosas, they are the best! Seating isn't a problem. There's plenty of tables. Their parking lot is small, but people are just coming and going so there's always space available.

    We visited Oakobing for dessert after dining at Hangari Kalguksu nearby just before for lunch…read more Although it was just down the street, we had to pay again for parking since we weren't allowed to leave the respective lots without paying extra. $5 parking just to grab dessert was a bit of a sting but for LA it's to be expected. The place was somewhat small but wasn't really busy for a Saturday afternoon, and we noticed they had some spacious auxiliary seating areas specifically for Oakobing across the hall. At first glance, the prices seemed sort of high for shaved ice, so we opted for sharing 2 of the smallest personal sizes ($8.5 each). It turns out that this size was plenty. I'm not sure how big the regular bowls are, but I think especially after a meal the personal size is plenty for a satisfying dessert for 2 people. I'm assuming part of the large price difference in sizes comes down to the large amount of fresh fruit that comes on their regular bowls. Still, we very much enjoyed our bowls. The ice is shaved almost impossibly thin, and rather than melting into a pool of water almost turns into a sorbet/ice cream like texture, which is very satisfying to eat. I enjoyed how their condensed milk topping was diluted to form a lighter cream that was more sauce-like than think and drizzle-like. It all lended to making the dessert enjoyably light. I would definitely drop by again, especially if we could avoid the parking costs.

    Kanomwaan seriously has some of the best Thai-inspired gelato and desserts I've had…read more You can really taste the quality and authenticity in everything. The flavors feel nostalgic and comforting while still being such a fun modern take on traditional Thai desserts. They have unique flavors like pandan milk, Thai tea, jasmine, coconut butterfly pea, black sticky rice, and even candle smoke salted egg yolk. I also love that they offer more than just gelato, from shaved ice and Thai custard toast to fun drinks and their loaded gelato buns with toppings like sticky rice, grass jelly, palm seeds, sweet corn, and coconut jelly. You can tell there's so much thought put into every item. Definitely one of those places I always crave after trying it once. My only complaint is that I wish they would open more locations because more people seriously need to experience this gem

    I waited a whole year for it to be mango season again, and it was worth the wait! Kanomwaan…read morespecializes in Thai flavored gelatos, drinks, custard toasts, and shaved ice. I've had their gelatos before, and they have very unique flavors (unfortunately the candle smoked and salty egg yolk is not my favorite because it only tastes smoky to me, but some people really love it so I think you should try it if you have the chance). We went on a hot Saturday mid-day, and lots of other people had the same idea, so we had to wait a little bit for a table. They give you a beeper so you can come back once a table is ready. This time, we ordered the mango sticky rice shaved ice, and it was so good my husband and I were mind-blown. It's fun to eat because you get multiple components on one tray, and you can continually go between eating the mango sticky rice and the shaved ice with mango gelato, mango chunks, and coconut cream. Every part of it was so yummy and refreshing, it didn't feel too difficult to share and finish between two people. They hide mango chunks inside the middle of the shaved ice too, so it's not solely a bowl of ice when you get to the bottom. I will go back again just for the mango sticky rice shaved ice because it is so unique and delicious, but when mango season is over, they stop selling it.
