Babooji — Restaurant in Jakarta

Babooji is an Indian Kitchen & Bar located at Gunawarman with a modern-vintage feel: warm wooden interiors, some fun quirky touches and cozy atmosphere

We ordered the chicken tikka and it’s well-marinated, with good balance of spices. The char from the tandoor adds a nice smoky depth. Doesn’t feel dry at all.

Their lamb rogan josh is So good. The lamb is tender, the gravy rich without being overwhelming. Garlic, onions and spices shine through. A dish that shows Babooji isn’t just about flashy – they can really do traditional well.

The garlic naan, soft and fluffy, garlic flavour is present but not overpowering. Perfect for sopping up the sauces and gravies. Maybe could be more garlicky.

Portions are generally okay, but for the price, some expect bigger serving sizes. The ambience, service, and presentation elevate the meal. It’s not cheap, but for many dishes you’ll feel it’s...

I had a lunch there. At that time the guest on the regular room just me and my bf while on private room they have an event. Food was average, the dessert I had is very sweet (not sure if it’s the right amount) But one thing I felt regret is their cctv is broken. Chronology, I lost my channel blush (brand new) just bought it that day on plaza Indonesia and rushed to have lunch at Babooji. 2 hours after left the resto I realized I lost my channel then I called the resto through wa provided on the IG they said, there is nothing on my table or chair left. Then I told them I need to check cctv to make sure 100%, however all cctv inside and outside of restaurant is not working How come a fine dining restaurant at Senopati area who has DJ table but no. Cctv. It should be a basic requirement for public resto...

This place serves the good kind of indian meal. Not too spicy, not too oily, just the right amount of spices and masala. So food wise, perfect 10/10. Waiters are also very attentive.

Now as the name and restaurant logo suggests, I was hoping for a quirkier, cuter, version of an indian restaurant. Hoping it would be somewhat decorated with indian crafts surrounding the theme 'babooji'. But nothing of that sort. Its still a gorgeous, classy place though.

Food is on the pricier side, as expected from indian restaurants in jakarta (or anywhere in the world outside india). So do prepare to pay a hefty sum for a delicious treat! Will definitely be back.
