Finally, for those of you that miss Robin when he ran Mumtaz, his wonderful halal Indian food is back. Last night he had his grand opening of Baba’s Kitchen, Robin’s own halal Indian restaurant. His restaurant was packed last night, mostly people who used to visit Mumtaz down the street. Mumtaz quality and service went down the drain since Robin left. At Baba’s Kitchen, the high quality Indian cuisine we all are used to is back.
Today I had a Thali lunch tray at Baba’s since I was unable to stay for a meal last night. It was great. Robin gave the meal for free, something he does for many loyal customers. I highly recommend you all make a visit to Baba’s Kitchen for lunch and dinner. Be sure to have Robin give his best recommendation. My favorite is the chicken korma with white rice and kheema somosa. It is nice to have a good halal Indian restaurant worth going to again.

Good luck to Robin, his food was always the best Indian food in Saigon for my money. Even though I’ve moved to Mumbai and can get all the Indian cuisine I could possibly want I still hanker after a taste of “home” from time to time.
I teach in international schools with my husband, four years in Vietnam was fantastic but it was time to take on a new challenge. It was quite difficult to find a country that got us as excited about moving to as Vietnam did but India hit all the buttons. So far, so fantastic but I miss the coffee a lot.
Haha, it’s look amazing! One more place on the list to visit in Saigon. Thanks for recommendation!
Spiced chai has the potential to become very addictive but I don’t drink much milk so I doubt it will reach the intake levels I built up for cafe da, but check back on that in a year, I’m nothing if not addaptable where drinks are concerned.
It’s business as usual with the blogging, I post mainly pictures and there was a brief hiatus as I got used to the grey skies that come with monsoon but I’ve stopped being so precious and got the camera back in action.
Thanks for the link to Preya’s blog, it makes interesting reading to see the parallel settling in process.
