A new Indian spot has debuted in the neighborhood. Located at 3701 S. Jefferson Ave. in Gravois Park, the fresh arrival is called Babaxavi.
The pop-up bistro serves traditional Southasian meals like chicken tikka masala, palak paneer and chana masala, alongside avant-garde meals like the curry lamb burger and Indian-spiced fish and chips. For those looking for a smaller bite, a variety of snacks fill the menu, including curried potato fries, rice pudding and cucumber sandwiches.
Babaxavi has gotten an enthusiastic response thus far, with a 4.5-star rating out of seven reviews on Yelp.
Courtney D., who was among the first Yelpers to review the new spot on April 1, wrote, "Each dish is perfectly composed with massive amounts love and flair. Wonderful textures and flavor make up every dish. This feels authentically perfect, a chef-driven Indian restaurant — finally."
And Maddi S. wrote, "The space was warm and cozy, but the real stand out was the food — Spiced perfectly with fresh ingredients, we loved every dish we ordered and we ordered almost every dish on the menu. The lamb dishes were excellent, and the palak paneer and tandoori wings are the best I have had in town."
