Baba chef

This is a very popular, busy, Malaysian restaurant in Doncaster with a wide selection of hawker style dishes and others to have with rice. The food is very tasty. Service is very quick, efficient and friendly. We tried the Assam fish, Fish balls with vermicelli and Pork belly with Yam amongst other dishes. All were delicious. Would recommend booking during busy times.

Baba Chef is a very good Malaysian / Chinese restaurant. It’s a small restaurant but thankfully it’s open till 10 pm. So you can go at the off peak periods. We had the fish curry which was an Indian style curry. The fish was well fried and the curry was thick and luscious. I loved it. We also had the Cereal Prawns which was beautifully crunchy. The cereal was so well fried, I just had to have it on my rice. Their Sambal Kangkong is actually the fermented bean version with fried shrimps. Very tasty. The dishes are huge! Incidentally, I thought it was “Peranakan” cuisine, but it turns out not to be, despite the word “Baba”. Those who know about Peranakan cuisine will know what I’m talking about. The word is actually more like “Papa”, which is fine as it is a Chinese restaurant. This definitely rates a “Must Come Back” from me. Next time, I’ll try their other signature dish - the handmade fish balls and fish cake. The only thing is parking is not great during Peak Period, and you have to watch your step outside the restaurant because of a small step just outside the door.

Stumble on this restaurant when craving for Malaysian in the area.
Wonderful tasting beef curry with roti. Meat was soft, curry was seasoned well. Chow kuei teow was also very nice.
Prices was very reasonable.
Will definitely come back.
Just would like the menu to have a drinks list.

Drop by Sunday evening for takeaway and the place was fully booked for the evening. People where coming and unfortunately for them, not getting a table. Speaking with the restaurant manager, he said need to make a booking a week in advance.

The watan horfun had heaps of wokhey.. highly recommended.

We have made a booking for next week and looking forward to trying claypot curry fish head and eggplant mince meat.

Pretty authentic Malaysian food. Prices are reasonable , portions nice and flavours are good

Assam Fish quite fresh but sauce a bit too sour I reckon .. the fish balls were nice and bouncy

Better call to book a table as place quite tight

Well, definitely a place worth visiting. Book in advance as this place is busy. Excellent customer service even though the restaurant is so busy.
We had
- Chicken chop salted eggs
- Stinky beans with minced meat
- Pork with salted fish claypot
- Cereal prawns
- Fish ball with vermicelli.
Everything was very good, in terms of flavor and portion, very reasonably priced too.
Fish ball soup was a bit too salty but the fish balls were amazing! The kids loved it.

Plenty of dishes on the menu, will be back to try others.

Everything was yummilicious! My favourites were assam steamed barramundi and salted egg chicken chop. We also tried sambal kangkung, fried garlic beef fillet, handmade fish ball seaweed egg soup, sweet and sour pork, baba free range chicken, garlic stir fry prawn veggies, fish cakes and tofu.

Very decent price! Check them out. I can assure you that you will not be disappointed!
