    This time was different. I know I always give this place a five star review but this time I would've given them a 50 star review. Make that 100 star review the food was extra spicy tonight and heartwarming to say the least. If you're hungry and you're able to handle some spice, this place is not to be missed. The service is always kind sweet polite, and the smiles. Keep you coming back again and again and again. You can sit there and dine or get it to go. Some special tips would be to ask to have Dhal on your rice. The onion badges are spectacular. I get the.Chana bhatura every time. Of course they have a dessert section and the sweets are good enough to rot your teeth and give your dentist business. Ambience's very cozy casual and I feel bad even sharing this because I don't want anyone else to know about this place. Yes this is my eighth review that I've remembered to give, but if I could come here every day, I wouldn't get sick of it.

    Mango Lassi, Ras Malai, Cha (chai) and chole bhature

    Authentic NORTH INDIAN PUNJABI cuisine, just the way I like it. One of the best chole bhature and dal makhni I've ever had. Same can be said for the ras malai and kheer, Mango lassi and other sweets were good too (besan barfi and kaju kathli). Cha (chai) could be a little better. Customer service could be improved - we were told we cannot sit down to eat and it was still 25 min to closing time. We ended up eating in the car. The crowds were insane on a Friday night to where they sold out of mango lassi, you guys need to have enough prepared to account for the crowds on the weekends. There's no To-go cups with lids and we were given piping hot tea with not even a second cup to protect from how hot it was. We struggled to carry this to our car with no lids. If this were improved, I'd give them a full 5 stars but the food is 5 stars 100% and we will keep coming back for it.

    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 !!!!

    Dal Makhni Curry

    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..

    Daal Makhni & Kadi Pakora Vegan Curries
    Johan M.

    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.

    Good

    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.

Parking is pretty difficult, and valet is $5. I can easily see the parking lot getting gridlocked on a busy day. I sampled a few of their gelato flavors, including the jasmine lychee and soy sauce. Both were okay, but I just wasn't in the mood for either of them today. I ended up getting the Pandan Toast to try. The pandan flavor was really good--not too grassy and didn't taste too artificial. The ice cream also had a buttery taste to it. It might have been from the toast, but I'm not too sure. The bread itself wasn't oily, which was nice, but it was kind of dry. The pandan sauce definitely helped make it easier to eat. I probably wouldn't eat the bread by itself though because it was super hard and didn't really have much flavor. I wasn't sure what to expect from the toast, but it wasn't quite what I expected. I originally wanted to try the mango sticky rice flavored shaved ice because it looked really good in the photos, but unfortunately they didn't have it today. I'd come back to try their shaved ice when mango is in season again!

I've seen people here working on their laptop and groups of people around one table so the vibe is chill and friendly. It also depends on what time of day you come. Weekends usually get packed.

Only thing I knocked down a star is because Not all the workers know the answers to your questions of what is in what food item or if you can substitute the milks.
