Happy Holidays
Whether it’s pre-Christmas celebrations, lunch on the big day, or gifts for the hard-to-buy-for on your list, we’re here to help.
For those pre-Christmas celebrations, we’re offering a tasting menu, available from 2 – 24 December. On the big day itself there’s our Indian Christmas Day lunch.
And for those hard-to-buy for people on your shopping list, we have a one-size-fits-all Regard Card which can be pre-loaded with whatever amount you want and given as a gift to be used for dining at Babur.

Christmas Tasting Menu
We all deserve a treat at this time of year and all treats are better when we share them. So we’d like to share some warm, cheering Christmas tastes with you and your nearest and dearest. Our spiced Christmas Tasting Menu has many familiar winter spices (and some less familiar) but used in an Indian fashion.
We hope you will enjoy it.
