This place is epic, tastes just like food in India, the best Indian food in LA in my opinion. Was the only non-brown person when I went which is a great sign. If you want authentic Indian food in LA, this place is it. Ambiance is definitely authentic, too, not scenester at all. Parking can be crazy cuz it's so popular but you can find street parking! Closes kind of early so check before heading over there read more

I came here purely for sweets, but their savory items looked decent as well. The only sweets item I have consistently from Indian cuisine is the Galab Jamun. It was nice to see they have Kala Jamun as well. In total, I bought 2 lbs of sweets with 1 lb purely for half Galab Jamun and half Kala Jamun. For the other box, I bought pista burfi (pistachio), chocolate burfi, mango burfi, gajar (carrots) burfi, kalakand, and milkcake. In this other box, I've never had these other items so it was an adventurous attempt, because I figured how bad could they be. Service-wise, they are pretty nice despite being a different ethnic group. Perhaps it was also because I was buying two boxes versus others that may just buy one box. How their system work: You order by the pound and it doesn't seem like you can buy the sweets individually. What I mean by that is that they sell their sweets in box increments of pounds. You say if you need a 1 lb box or a 2 lb box (or etc). They will fit the sweets accordingly until it is around 1 lb and they'll stop. At the very least, they didn't seem to offer buying individually versus just one piece. If you order everything in the same price per pound, you get charged for that price. If one is a dollar more, you get charged that one instead for the whole box even if you only ordered one piece of the pricier item. A bit of a nuance pricing, but some may care. For example, I requested half a pound of Galab Jamun and half Kala Jamun in one box and there are 5 Galab and 4 Kala Jamun in them. When weighed, it was approximately 1 lb in there as well. Not sure if it's true, but Indian sweets are hefty by weight. Considering they sell it by the pound, a person who knows how to make the sweets may consider it pricey. But for a novice like me, I didn't think it was that large of an expenditure to buy a pound of sweets to try a variety. The cashiers laughed and said we must very love sweets to try this much - thumbs up, yes we am. The burfi are interesting in that their texture are smooth, but it contains a velvety texture that is not crumbly. My least favorite was the chocolate and the mango burfi purely because of flavor. I rather eat the mango fruit and chocolate itself than having it in burfi form I think. For the pista and gajar, it was interesting. As quoted by my girlfriend, she said the gajar is like Gerber's carrot baby food. I don't know, but I guess? I liked those more so because I've never had them before and it was pleasing to taste them. The pista was not overly sweet and was more mellow in taste. The gajar was sweeter and you can taste the carrot vividly. The Kalakand and milk cakes were in-between. Strong milk taste to it with different textures. Kalakand is more cake-like, while the milkcake had a very grainy texture to it. Nice milk taste to it and interesting texture to accompany them. Lastly, the two Jamun are decent. Not as great as fresh, but the amount of sweetness wasn't overbearing. The Galab one is sweeter than the Kala one. The spongy texture isn't bad and fully immersed with the rose water syrup. I wished they were bigger of course. These were sized kind of like frozen meatballs. All in all, I still enjoyed the sweets and if I have a desire for more, I wouldn't mind buying some more from here if I'm in the area. read more

My little sister is a lover of Indian food and had been bugging me to take her to Baba Sweets for months, per the recommendation of one of her Indian friends. We finally got around to coming here last Sunday, and I'm so glad I finally gave in! For $5.99 we each got 2 entrees, rice, yogurt, and naan (50cents more for garlic naan). We got a variety of entrees, and were able to try a total of 6, since our dad joined us. Everything was absolutely delicious and fresh, and because we don't eat Indian food often, unique and exciting! Halfway through our meals we realized how much food we had actually ordered, it's surprisingly filling, and I say this because the food is all vegetarian and we are definitely carnivores.. My favorite part of this experience was being immersed in a completely different culture for a moment. We were the only non-Indian folks dining on that day and time, and we had customers coming up to ask asking if we liked the food and if we thought it was spicy! We're Mexican, so the answer is no, it's not spicy! Haha The young gentleman who served our food was extremely kind and recommended his favorite sweets on the house so that we could try them. In case you needed more of a reason to check out Baba Sweets, they serve complimentary chai tea (which is so delicious paired with the food), the establishment is kept spic and span, and parking is no problem. Highly recommend! read more

Baba Sweets - Forgot to take pics but I saved this one from my sister's Snapchat! - Desserts Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Terrible customer service . Food is good but the staff and the front management staff is rude and discourteous .

I absolutely love the culinary experience at Baba Sweets. The samosa are slightly crunchy on the outside yet soft and flavorful on the inside. Everything from the naan to the desserts will excite your taste buds. Give it a try. read more

Plentiful parking + fantastic friendly service + great value + flavorful food. Just a fun place to enjoy a new adventure of food. I'm not very familiar with Indian cuisine beyond tiki masala, paneer, etc and definitely unfamiliar with desserts. I tried a mix of various items and was very happy. read more

It was our first time eating here. Everyone was very nice and patient since we had some questions and weren't sure how to order. They walked us through it and even gave us a sample of what to get to see if we would like it before adding it to our combo. The food tasted great and we were surprised by the amount. Definitely recommend. read more

Baba Sweets - a variety of indian food items - Desserts Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Great food with a caveat. Food is wholesome and tasty. Self service with a good combo selection. Naan was very nice. No parathas on weekdaty I wish the paneer dishes did NOT have cashews. Both my boys have allergies. Note to owners : disclose to customers please. read more

Food was fresh with generous portions and more desserts than I have ever seen in one place that also serves hot meals. I dined with friends from India who agree it's the best in the Valley, outside of when their moms come from India to stay read more

Great food and Indian sweets. They are better priced than most people. Clean restaurant. It can get busy but that is because it is that good. If you like pani puri, there's is the best I have in California. They have good savory snacks and delicious Indian sweets! If you live in the area, you should definitely try this place. I live in west la and I think it is worth the trip!! read more

I've been coming here forever. Staple in the Punjabi community out in the 818. Delicious food and free tea. Thanks Baba Sweets.

SO GOOD wish I could give Baba Sweets more than 5 stars!! The food is so tasty and reasonably priced! The chole bhature was delicious and not greasy. The dal and paneer were amazing too - a medium sized container of curry a la carte is 5/6 dollars depending on what you get which is honestly a steal. Wish there were places like this in west LA - would definitely be a part of my weekly rotation if I lived closer. read more

Nice service and delicious food. We came to check it out after driving by and we were surprised by how big it was inside, lots of seating! You go towards the back to join the ordering line and pick your choices when you get to the front, savory is straight back and sweets are on the right. Order, pay, then they will call you to get your food. The staff was helpful in advising what everything was and we shared a two combo plate - yum! We especially liked the saag. The food was consistently refilled and fresh and the line moved relatively quick. read more

One of my favorite Vegetarian places!!! The portions are amazing and the price is unbeatable! This $8 plate last for two meals and has a sweet dessert. They also give away free tea and snacks while you wait! If you like authentic Indian food and want to eat healthy this is the place. read more

My go-to spot for all things delicious.. Once in a while I'll eat chana batura or aloo paratha but I'm a fan of their snacks (namak paray, namkeen mix, papdi chāt) and their sweets (kalakand, gajjar halwa, hot gulab jamun, rasmalai, ladoo(s), seasonal petha etc). No matter what, it's always fresh and always on point! The GOOD people ALWAYS supply their customers with complimentary food and beverages-- where else in the SFV are you handed a palm-sized pipin' hot jalebi by a smiling Mr. BABA, himself? Simply put, these cats are the best in the SFV (even LA), cut the hardworking people slack, wait your turn in line and get out the way after you order! read more

I absolutely love the food at Baba Sweets, both sweet and savory! They use the freshest Ingredients and their space is very clean and organized! Whenever I'm having a party, I always carry out their samosas!!!! Everyone always asks me where I got these delicious samosas from! Baba sweets is a hidden gem! read more

Best sweets in the LA area, period!!! No need to think twice...for all your mithai needs, Baba Sweets!

Extremely poor service. Had to wait for 1.15hrs to order food. Not worth wasting time.

just went back and got their 3 item combo and half a pound of vegetable pakora. their vegetable pakora was so crispy and good. i also got a dessert box for $9.99 and had the worker pick out his favorites for me to try. also he was super nice the whole time and helped me chose what to get. read more

Best north India food and sweets. Everything is top quality. I have been coming here from last six years and never been disappointed.

We've been meaning to try Baba Sweets for a while! So happy we went today! They have parking in the front and some outdoor seating. All of the sweets we got were amazing and the food was delicious. We will definitely be coming back. They also have great prices and the staff is amazing! Thank you! read more

Yet again amazing food, clean restaurant and as always very friendly staff. This is always my go to for non-veg and sweets.

This is the best place and best people who welcome with whole hearted smile. this is the only place where I don't see price to buy any item. After two visits I realize I don't need to check for the price of an item because there will be some reason for that price and it will be the cheapest which you don't find any where else Please encourage business men like this in to this earth read more

Nestled in a small parking lot my dad took me here one day to buy some indian sweets. And it looks like it should not even be there. The location is so random. I looked at my dad like why are we here, where are you taking me? And I enter this small indian store and see sweets and fresh Chana, pakoras and samosas. It looked so good but I was too full to eat anything. But I did have the chai because it is free! Yes free! And I normally don't like indian sweets but these were good. The gulab jamun was amazing and melted in my mouth. The sweets taste homemade. And this is probably because it is family owned and they know what's up! If anyone in the valley or near want Indian sweets for their next party or in general this is the place! The owners are really nice too! The food tastes so authentic! And I know for a fact that it is! Do yourself a favor and eat amazing Punjabi food here! read more

Baba Sweets - Half eaten gulab jamun! It's that good I could not wait! - Desserts Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Food has a great taste but it could be less spicy. I understand Indian food is supposed to be spicy but not everybody is Indian in USA. American people are less tolerable to spicy. I do believe if Baba Sweet had some no-spicy options there will be way more customers. I know I will be there more often if they had at least 2 no spicy options. Hopefully owner gets to read this message! Thank you all and happy new year :) !!! read more

Food and service was excellent. Even though it was the food is all vegetarian and I eat meat, I was still satisfied. Not sure about the sweets didn't try any but while I was there they had a many take outs for the sweets. read more

Hands down best authentic Indian food which is also closest to what a home made Indian food would taste like. Everything here is done really really well. Be prepared to wait in line, but it is worth it in the end! read more

Wow! This place is the spot! For $6.99 you get 3 entrees that comes with rice + dessert + naan. Add $0.50 and you can add garlic naan to that. I was really surprised at this gem. I originally went to an Indian Sweets and Spices (ISS) in Northridge (the worst ISS) and posted a negative review and implored Yelpers to help me find a good Indian restaurant. About a month ago a Yelper by the name of James H. recommended this place to me. I was in the area with my Indian friend so I sought to try this place out. When we first arrived, the parking lot was a bit packed but we were still able to find parking. When you walk in, the place is like a cafeteria style seating. You get in one single line for service. The great part about this place is the people here (or at least the person who served me) speaks perfect English! It's not really a big deal but it just made ordering a lot easier. I got one of the 3 entree combo with eggplant, some kuri with fried onion and lentil, and a paneer and peas dish. They were really good! The garlic naan could've used a bit more butter or salt, but it was perfect with the curry. I loved it! It was absolutely delicious! Complimentary tea next to the utensils. read more

One of the best Dal Makhni's I have ever had and even the rest of the food was just so delicious! Rarely we get such good Indian taste in US and by far this was the best here. Even the snacks are mind blowing.. The quantity they give for the price per dish is sooo convenient with the amazing taste and quality feels like we are in India!! Thank you so much for giving us this experience "Des ki feeling in pardes" Only sad thing is they do not deliver it to our area but we can always drive so We wish you grow many many folds and open a chain nearby read more

Delicious food!! It was my First time here and I asked for chicken lol oops.. they only have vegetarian dishes. The staff was very nice and patient. The gentleman that helped me suggested the most delicious desserts. ... I will definitely come back. The line was long but it moved quickly read more

This is One of the most affordable and closest to home cooked north Indian food store in the valley. All their paratha(stuffed bread) varieties are very good,aloo paratha being my favorite. They serve paratha with pickle and curd which is a very good combination. Make sure to check the menu before coming as they don't sell all the varieties of paratha on all the days of the week. They have specific days for each one of them. Their channa Batura(garbanzo beans curry with fried bread) is just out of the world. They usually have two types of channa curry both of which you can try. Also they have free tea which is very good as well. Owners are friendly too. Definitely recommend ppl to visit this place. read more
