A celebration will be held on Monday 21st June for the launch of
Babur's 25th Anniversary celebration with a preview of two
commissioned works of art, our 25th anniversary tasting menu with
matching wines and our Mojito Summer cocktails.
We can't quite believe it ourselves but Babur is about to enter its
25th year, a long time in the restaurant business, but we've been
fortunate to have had a very appreciative audience.
To mark this sterling occasion, the restaurant has commissioned two
new art works from South London women artists. From Kate Pritchard
we've commissioned a ceramic-based piece representing all the
ingredients used in our cooking. And from Durga Devi Talukdar we've
commissioned a very large scroll painting illustrating scenes from
the life of Babur, the first Mughal Emperor of India and our eponym.
The dishes composing Babur's 25th anniversary tasting menu features
at least 25 sterling flavours, drawn from some of the restaurant's
most popular dishes.
While the Met Office may have given up on long-range weather
forecasts, we can confidently predict a Mojito Summer at Babur with a
quartet of original variations: Champagne, Mango and Chilli, Coconut
and Basil and White Chocolate and Mint.
Babur will be celebrating its Sterling Anniversary from 1 July to 31
August. Customers on the restaurant's mailing list will receive a
Sterling voucher worth £25. BOOK YOUR PLACE NOW.
