Babajis Kerala Kitchen Belgrave

Babaji's Kerala Kitchen is an unusual foodie find in the lush forests of the Dandenong Ranges. Specialising in the lesser-known cuisine of 'Kerala', a little Southern state of India, expect tropical flavours laden with spice, from banana leaf sadya, to tamarind fish curries, dosa, South Indian coffee and fermented coconut toddy.

Visit Babajis with no expectations. With their Kerala specialities, picturesque location and friendly Aussie service, they are far from typical.

Babajis Belgrave is a 40 minute drive from Melbourne Central Business District at the end of the Belgrave Metro train line. They are a five-minute walk from Puffing Billy Steam Railway and the Dandenong Ranges National Park. They have a second venue on the banks of the Yarra River, with open fires and surrounding mountain views.

They can cater for Halal, Vegan and Gluten Free dietaries.

Small groups of 50 can be accommodated. Catering off site for small and large groups, across Victoria, can also be organised.

They are dog friendly with outside tables available.

They are open for lunch and dinner. Bookings are recommended, especially at weekends and public holidays. Check Google for updated hours and unplanned closures.
