Our Story: from Ludhiana in 1962 to Calgary

In 1962, S. Himmat Singh, lovingly known as Baba Ji, started a small dhaba with recipes that carried the true essence of Punjab. His son Mr. Kanwaljit Singh and his wife introduced delicacies like Fish Fry and Spinach Corn Roll.

By 1991 the first Baba's Restaurant opened in Model Town, Ludhiana. With homemade secret masalas and the iconic Butter Chicken, Baba's became a household name.

Today the legacy continues with Mr. Avneet Singh and Mr. Harsh Mohan Singh, who bring it to Calgary at Jackson Gates Plaza.
