About Babaji

Babaji is an Indian restaurant and takeaway on Mary Street, on the southern edge of the city centre and a short walk from Park Lane. It describes itself as a Sunderland-based Indian restaurant and takeaway, and it offers online ordering for takeaway through its own website.

In October 2026 Babaji was named Street Food Restaurant of the Year at the Asian Restaurant and Takeaway Awards, held at the London Hilton on Park Lane. Winners were chosen from more than 1,250 nominated businesses using customer nominations, review scores, food hygiene ratings and a judging panel, and Sunderland BID reported the win as a boost for the city's food scene.
