Babu Lal 印度餐厅 - 吉达 - بابولال 宣称

I tried their butter chicken and biryani rice. Very disappointed as the food tastes nothing like what u except. The butter chicken sauce was really sweet (almost they poured honey into it) and it felt more like a warm dessert. The rice has no flavor whatsoever. The only positive is that the food was delivered warm.

Unfortunately I was very disappointed! I’ve visited their branch in Riyadh and the experience was amazing( you can check my review in Riyadh) , but here in Jeddah everything is below average!! The host is sitting and busy with his phone , the interior is very bad and nothing special about it , I didn’t like the ambiance at all. Food was below average compared to their branch in Riyadh, I almost ordered the same but the taste were way different ! If you want to compete you’ve to maintain the same quality in all branches! I’ll never come again or even recommend it to any of my friends. I wish they read the comments and try to improve it!

Please please don't visit their restaurant if you want authentic Indian food. As an Indian and a desi cuisine aficionado, I can assure you this restaurant doesn't serve anything close to Indian food. Their rates are unreasonably high because the quality and taste of their dishes don't even deserve half the amount they're charging. The quantity of their dishes is absolutely miniscule as well. The chicken 65 WAS SWEET. The breading around the chicken was way too thick and the chicken wasn't even tender. Just because its red doesn't mean its chicken 65! The chicken biryani was an absolute joke. The kids in our family can make better biryani than this. I was perturbed by them choosing to go with boneless chicken breast instead of bone-in chicken pieces but despite that, the biryani was all wrong. Barely any proper masalas and dry rice. It tasted more like "khichdi" mixed with some chicken curry. They don't even serve raita with it and expect you to purchase it separately. The chicken mix grill was the only thing worth having as the chicken breast pieces were juicy and quite delicious. The mango lassi was absolutely delectable as well. The rogan josh was also a disaster as it didn't taste anywhere near the real authentic recipe. Tasted just like some cliché mutton curry. We couldn't even finish our food as we lost all appetite and had to pack what we couldn't manage to eat. Please don't get deceived by this place just because it has great ambience and plays bollywood music.

It's not in any way close to Indian Taste. It's more like altered versions of Indian food for Saudi people. Secondly the serving size is not even enough for a person. The waiter warned me that the serving portion is small and I thought how small it can be. Turns out it's really SMALL!! If you are a desi then this place is not for you with regards to taste and quantity. The prices are on a higher side if you compare it with the quantity.
