This is some of the most amazing, flavorful, delicious, mouth watering , tummy filling food I've ever had. I had to eat all three of the vegan options and I wasn't about to leave my tray full. This place won me over on flavor alone. The styrofoam trays and buffet style only added to the charm of the comfortable eating atmosphere. Definitely going back whenever I visit Canoga Park again. read more

Baba Sweets - Desserts Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Today I bought jelabi from them and it had a very bad smell, which we usually get with frying snacks with very old oil, reused multiple times . This was totally shocking! I used to think Jelabi is their popular product and it is very disappointing that they let this happen. Now I wonder about the quality of their other food items like Samosa, Natural and if they use such oil for all their food!?!. It's sad because I love the taste of their lunch items but now am not confident to buy anything from them. read more

Nice Food and good customer service. The food is tasty and fresh. Also the staff is co-operative and friendly Thanks read more

Great food. They can get more organized and allow the lines to clear faster. They never answer their phone. No taking preorder over the phone. You have to go and stand online. If you want good food, you pay the price standing in line. The prices are very reasonable. Lot of variety. read more

Love the prices here, they should never change them. Very fair, good people and the sweets and food taste great. Definitely an authentic gem in the SF Valley! read more

I was out in West Hills and getting hungry so I browsed for restaurants on Google Map's "Explore nearby" function. One of the first eateries to appear on the list was "Baba Sweets". Although the name made me skeptical at first as to whether the joint would serve solid food, I opened up the "reviews" section and chanced upon comments that raved about $4.99 savory entrees and $6.99 "combo meals", featuring Naan and Dessert. The prices sounded like a kill and I hadn't eaten Indian food in an awfully long time. So after I finished up my shopping, I drove on over. I entered the restaurant and made my way toward the counter. Posted on the wall above an aromatic display of entrees, a spartan menu listed three "Combination" options. The menu priced "one dish" at $4.99. "Two dishes" at $5.99 and "three dishes and dessert" at $6.99, noting that each Combination came with naan and rice. Awestruck, I asked the employee working behind the counter whether it was true, that you could get three entree items, rice, naan, and dessert, for just about the price of an In-n-Out Double-Double meal. He answered with a resounding "Yes." With my menu choice now confirmed (by none other than my rumbling stomach), I let the employee guide me in selecting my three entrees. He recommended the Kadi Pakora (a yogurt-based, yellowish curry with onion patties), the Aloo Bengan (potato and eggplant) and the Mattar Paneer (Paneer cheese cooked with peas in a tomato sauce). I first tried the Kadi Pakora. I should have been suspicious about the palatability of incorporating sour-ish yogurt into a spicy curry. Indeed, the pungent spiciness of the curry melded with the yogurt's lactic flavor to create an unpleasantly sharp and briney flavor. I cannot fault the restaurant for this though, as the sourness is supposedly a desired characteristic for the curry. By mixing raita (provided as an accompaniment) into the curry, I was able to temper the flavor somewhat. As for the Aloo Bengan, the curried and roasted potato wedges were just as delicious as they are in an Aloo Gobi. The Eggplant was nicely seasoned, even though a little tough at times. The spice could frizzle my sensitive western palate at times, but this could be solved by adding a dallop of raita. Finally, the Matar Paneer transformed my expectations. On previous visits to Indian restaurants, my dislike of cheese caused me to avoid Paneer dishes. Upon biting into Baba Sweets' version, I found the Paneer to be less like cheese than soy meat in consistency with a flavor that was rich and creamy but not excessively dairy-tasting. In Baba Sweets' Matar Paneer, the Paneer's rich and creamy flavor complemented the zesty and piquant notes of the spiced tomato sauce quite well to make for an outstanding dish. As for the sides, the rice was fluffy and the naan served warm (so that I could easily pull off pieces), obviously fresh from the oven. Though not listed on the menu, a side salad of cucumbers, lettuce and onions and a bowl of raita also accompanied the entrees. For dessert, I received a resplendent Galub Jamun in syrup: the fried pastry was slightly crisp on the outside, soft on the inside and brimming throughout with the (heavenly) flavors of saffron and rosewater. Did I forget to mention that the restaurant offers all patrons complementary (self-serve) Masala Chai and marzipan-like candies to round out the feast? Baba Sweets' generosity alone earns them five stars. The overall degree of satisfaction I received (Kadi Pakora notwithstanding) is beyond measurement. *Check out this and other food reviews at my blog: http://chpfoodie.blogspot.com read more

From past two years I have been visiting this place. Always fresh food,undoubtedly delicious sweets,best reasonable dine-in and over the top PANEER PARATHA. Not just in woodland hills but no where in LA you can get this good PARATHA . Keep consistent, keep simple and keep smiling as always. read more

Literally my favorite place to eat in the valley! It's not easy finding GOOD vegetarian options that isn't expensive. This place is great, inexpensive and authentic vegetarian food. The staff is also very nice. Highly recommended! read more

This place was sooooooo yummy! If you get the three choice plate, you end up getting their dessert of the day. Affordable and generous amounts of food. Will definitely come back for more! read more

I went there for the first time and could not believe how rude the staff was to the customers and how they treat them. The man behind the counter that helped me, talked right thru me to whatever was behind me (the street!) or he kept looking at the customer to the left of me. Then he was annoyed that I was not answering him as he barked out his incoherent blabber. I should havlistened to my instincts and walked but my niece was with me and she wanted Indian sweets so I stayed to endure this treatment. That was the first and last time there! Later I found out thru my mum that this place has a reputation for rudeness and treating customers badly. The sweets were below par! I'd recommend to go elsewhere simply because there is no love in what they cook or prepare, just anger and animosity! This is an update to this establishment. My mum and her ladies club chose Baba sweets for their monthly luncheon and I hoped they had better things to say but unfortunately they had worse horror stories! One of the ladies in the group has a medical issue and requires a few minutes longer than the rest to place her order and the server was not just rude but spoke unkindly about the lady to a fellow cohort and my mum heard him making fun of her and complaining-about how long she took! My mum confronted this server and told him the lady has a medical issue and it's not kind or nice to make fun of people. No one should have to be subjected to this sort of treatment from a place that depends on customers for their success and livelihood! These people think they are doing the customers a favour by keeping the doors open! Lest they forget! Shameful place! Does not deserve any patronage. read more

The food is awesome, people are great, great location, perfect environment. I just love their food. The taste is like nothing i've ever tasted before. I am from nor-cal but i go to LA to visit my family, and every-time i go to LA this is my first stop before visiting my family. The customer service rocks, and the place is spot on clean. I've tasted many Indian restaurants in Fremont area but Baba Sweets takes the win on everything. I would HIGHLY reccommend this place to all of my friends and anyone who is reading this review. I was just in LA last week to drop off my cousin and stopped at this place. I found out that they had expanded, created a new store front and expanded food varieties. Again.. I highly recommend this place to anyone who is hungry in LA. read more

This is some of the best north Indian food I have had in the USA. It is home cooking at best. Folks who run this place have great heart and they are all about feeding hungry customer with some lip smacking food. The chhole bhatura is amazing, garlic nan is amazing, dal makhani is out of this world. Sweets are very good too. This is a hole in a wall kind of place and do not expect any ambiance. Parking is ample. Food is AMAZING!!!! I have eaten 3 times already on at this place on this weekend. read more

Best place for authentic Indian sweets. Jalebi to die for :) Awesome chole bhature (available only on weekends) read more

We came all the way from Phoenix, AZ, and we haven't seen such hospitality anywhere. The atmosphere radiated positive energy, especially with the Gurbani being played at the background. Everyone was super friendly and welcoming. The food was hands down some of the best we had here in U.S. and reminded us of our favourite places back in India. It was a wonderful experience, we will definitely be back! read more

I belong to punjabi community and it's a disgrace that i have to share this. One of the server made personal comments about my appearance and other traits about me I wouldn't even bother sharing as I ordered my food. He is short and chubby. I still remember that insult with me to this day. You guys need to stop acting like gangsters. I hope you experience the same thing in your life someday you'll feel my pain. read more

I havent tried many Indian restaurant around here, but I really hope the Valley has better places than this one. Atleast the prices are very low ($6.99 for a 3 item combo). Food was just okay, place looked clean, and service was whatever. read more

If i could give it less than 1 star I would. This food is terrible. If you tell me that the food and ambiance is like home I am going to kick you because the food is nothing like home or you ate crappy food growing up. Location: Ghetto!!!! I lived in Downtown Detroit for 8 years and this place is ghetto. I was nervous parking my car. They do have a parking lot. Service: Very very confused people behind the counter. Waited 10 minutes in line with no-one around me and my wife. Finally we walk up to look at the food and someone yells, "you can only look at the food when you are called up". Okay so we went back behind the line and waited our turn. We finally ordered and the first order came out. My wife picked it up and went to find a table. While I waited for the gentleman behind the counter to complete the second order. He looks up with complete confusion as to where the first order went even after I told him twice that my wife had picked it up to go find a table and that I was going to pay for both. Food: Not good at all. Ordered the chana bhaturas. The bhatura part was fine, the chana was terrible. Not very flavorful and I dont care how many chopped pieces of ginger you sprinkle on top, it won't help the dish. The paneer was fine and the mushroom, matar, cashew dish was just simply bad. Indian Sweets: We got an assortment of barfi and milk cake. The milk cake was solid as a rock. If someone wacked me with it I would pass out. The rest of the sweets were well below average. Cost: The cost is the only reason it gets the 1 star. It is very cheap which I guess is a good thing if you are going to eat terrible food. read more

The taste was good. Very reasonable priced. Drawback is the time attend you. It took me almost 20 min to order but the food was fast after I aplaced the order. Good North Indian veg food. I wish they hire few staff to take order during their peak hours read more

Friendly staff. Delicious food and sweets. Taste as close to Authentic Indian as you can get. Our preferred place to shop.

Authentic vegetarian Indian food. Customer service is ok May be attributed to the lunch time rush. The overall energy is friendly and the food is delicious. Looks like a small market it's super cute, give it a try it's worth it. read more

Well ... If you really want nice vegetarian food... this is place to go. I come with my family at least once in a week. The choices are limited but good enough to cater to everyone's taste. The place is clean and food is great. Paranthas on Tuesdays and Thursdays are very nice. Try chole bhature ..very tasty. I would say they are consistent in their food quality. Sweets can hit and miss sometimes but compare to other joints this place rocks in terms of customer service and food quality. read more

We went looking around at different Mithai shops in LA for some Diwali mithai and this was the hands down winner. Everything looks super fresh and tastes so good. They also serve vegetarian meals that looked amazing. They have a system for ordering and you have to follow or it gets really confusing, we got tempted by the food and didn't read the signs so we got left behind in a very long line that formed instantaneously. read more
