Babaji's Kerala Kitchen, Belgrave. Restaurant & South Indian Food Truck. 1644 Burwood Highway, Belgrave, Victoria 3160

Welcome to Babaji's Kerala Kitchen, located in the heart of Belgrave, Australia. As an establishment that focuses on providing delicious South Indian cuisine, we are proud to be a point of interest for both locals and visitors alike. Our restaurant and South Indian food truck offer a unique dining experience that will leave your taste buds craving for more.

At Babaji's, we invite you to immerse yourself in the vibrant culture of Kerala by indulging in our authentic vegetarian dishes. Our Onam Sadya, a traditional Kerala feast, features a mouthwatering selection of 20 dishes served on real banana leaf plates. From the aromatic Sambar and Perripu to the refreshing Pineapple Pachadi and Beetroot Pachadi, each dish is a celebration of flavors and textures. Optional sides such as Kerala Fish Fry, Beef Fry, and Chicken Fry are also available for those craving non-vegetarian options.

We take pride in our cooking methods, using traditional techniques and handcrafted brass urili to infuse our dishes with the rich flavors of fresh ginger, coconut, and Kerala spices. Our slow-cooked goat (mutton) and marinated fish dishes are standout favorites, while our biryani, inspired by the grandeur of Muslim weddings in Varkala, Kerala, is a true culinary masterpiece.

Not only do we strive to provide exceptional food, but we also aim to support and celebrate our local community. Through generous donations from our patrons, we have cooked over 2000 meals for those facing financial struggles. Additionally, on the 3rd Tuesday of every month, we donate 10% of our total sales to a local group in need. We are always open to supporting new community initiatives, so please reach out to us if you are looking for assistance.

As a fully licensed establishment, we offer a wide range of Indian and local craft beers, Yarra Valley wines, and Indian and craft spirits. You are also welcome to bring your own wine to complement your dining experience.

Whether you choose to dine at our restaurant or catch us at our food truck, Babaji's Kerala Kitchen promises to deliver an unforgettable culinary journey. Join us in the scenic Dandenong Ranges or by the banks of the Birrarung river in Warburton (Opening Sep 2023) to savor the flavors of Kerala.
