££££Price: Expensive

• Indian • Crofton Park

Open since 1985, this delightful, unpretentious restaurant in Forest Hill, London, is renowned for its stunning and innovative modern Indian cuisine. Babur's stylish, earthy interior features exposed brick walls, natural wooden furniture and beautiful handmade Bengali artworks. The intimate atmosphere and sensational staff have made Babur a favourite dining destination with Forest Hill locals, and the food is worth making a trip across town for. We highly recommend the spicy sardine fish cake stuffed with caramelised figs; sandalwood ostrich infused with fenugreek; and black cod in spices and mustard oil with mustard mash. The wine list, designed by Peter McCombie, is also superb and features 16 wines by the glass, and 34 bottles for under £20.

I would like to start by saying the food was insanely delicious—one of the best meals I have eaten in a while—but the service was TERRIBLE. After they took our food order, our waiter forgot about us and never returned to check on us. They were really busy, so I think they could have used one more wait staff member. It was painful trying to get a drink or even a refill of water. When we finally managed to grab on to a food runner, my wine was forgotten, so I had to walk up to the bar to ask for it. It happened again when we ordered our second drink; we had to go up to the waiter counter to ask for an order. If it's busy, order a bottle of wine and be done with it to save yourself the hassle. It's a shame because the food was excellent and came out fast, but the service and fighting to get a drink kind of just ruined the experience. I would happily return to eat there again and hopefully this issue is solved.

We have been to Franklins a few times and it never disappoints. The food was wonderful, they always have something new in their daily menu and flavours are always full of depth and just delicious. The set menu is a steal, the desserts are always a highlight. We always make sure we save space for them. The service was great and is nice and quiet during lunch time at week days. We wish we lived closer so we could come more often.
