Half-dessert shop, half-restaurant in Canoga Park, Baba Sweets is well known among the SFV Indian community and the most serious of Indian food enthusiasts. The casual, steam-table spot has served some of the best Punjabi food in the San Fernando Valley for over two decades, and should be a mandatory stop whenever you’re in the area. Swing by for their slow-stewed saag, bowls of spicy chloe bhature, and hot from the tandoor garlic naan served on a paper plate. Finish your meal off with a soft, sweet gulab jamun and a complimentary cup of their house chai, in all its cinnamon-y, vanilla-y glory.
