Navigating a Menu 60 Years in the Making

When you sit down and look at the Baba Chicken menu, you aren’t just looking at a list of food—you are looking at over six decades of culinary evolution. Originating in Ludhiana in 1964, our menu is designed to showcase the deep, robust, and authentic flavors of Punjab.

To help you order like a pro, whether you are dining in at Abbotsford, visiting Surrey, or ordering takeout, we have broken down the highlights of the Baba Chicken menu.

The Legendary Appetizers (Starters)

Our starters are famous for their smoky tandoor char and complex marinades.

  • Chicken Kali Mirch (Semi-Gravy): This is consistently one of our most-liked items. A black pepper-infused masterpiece that is spicy, creamy, and coats the chicken perfectly.
  • Tandoori Chicken: Available in regular and large, this is the classic. Marinated in yogurt and our secret spice blend, it is a staple of the Baba Chicken brand.
  • Afghani Chicken Tikka & Malai Tikka: For those who prefer milder, creamier flavors, these tikkas melt in your mouth with rich notes of cream and subtle spices.
  • Fish Pakora & Baba Special Fish N Chips: Crispy, spiced, and incredibly fresh—our seafood appetizers are a massive hit.
