Bababoi Kitchen & Bar

Wonderful little quirky spot behind bollards and ongoing apartment building. The fried chicken curry laksa was outstanding: lovely and lite coconut soup broth, perfect heat, silky noodles and smooth eggplant, topped with crispy chicken. Chunks of broccoli. Addition of the fried crispy thin breads delicious. Planning to come here again! I'll probably get the same!

Great selection of Nyonya food and the beef rendang was authentic and flavoursome! Love that they have lemongrass stir-fried option too and you can select your choice of protein too! 🤤

The receptionist was very cool and welcomed us cordially. The food was very tasty. If you want halal restaurant in this area you may try this one.

Delicious food for a great price and it’s halal! Had the chicken curry, good sized hearty meal. I’m so glad I found this little gem, will definitely be back for seconds.

Babi Assam is the best there. Ayam Buah kelak is just the paste not actual buah kelak in a stew. Fried rice and nasi Lemak were good too. Esp the sambal. Roti with the chickpea curry also decent and not too spicy.

* Revisited this plc again in May 2023 and love the food. It's spicy legit Malaysian curry rempah used. Nasi lemak and chicken curry kapitan were delicious.

One of the best Nasi Lemaks I’ve had. Delicious, fresh fried chicken, very tasty sambal and plenty of anchovies. Perfect serving size and reasonable price. Great service too.

Authentic peranakan food here! The fantastic taste really hits home, especially the buah keluak and roti canai! The portions were huge, and reasonably priced as well
The service was super great and friendly :) will definitely come again whenever we need our peranakan food fix!

Very good Curry 🍛 🤤 Chicken.

My co worker had the Laksa and both good serving and fresh.

Friendly and switched on Staffs.

Six of us visited this peranakan restaurant. It is unpretentious and the food delicious. Is it authentic? It is in the context of Docklands, Melbourne. We love the roti channai, beef rendang and buah kerak.

Had an absolutely amazing dinner here !
The food was flawless - and ive had my fair share of good Malaysian food. I am not kidding, the servings sizes the night we came were ginormous - easily double what you would be expecting at the price point. The service was also really good, and I am already planning my next visit here :)

Stopped in for a quiet lunch. The roti was melt-in-the-mouth delicious and the nasi lemak was amazing.

Great food open air dining near the exhibition center. Tucked around the corner so don't necessarily notice it but very good food and great portions. I especially liked the mee goreng; they have a vegetarian option for it that's not on their menu (and for nasi goreng).

Great service and very patient waiter making orders with specifications. Clean environment with an unique interior design providing good ambiance and moody atmosphere. Sufficient seats and tables but a bit tight. Wheelchair friendly entrance. Good selection of variety of dishes. Vegetarian dishes available.

Went here on a sunday afternoon, to take shelter from the winter rain. There were only other two customers, so the atmosphere was cozy. Ordered chicken curry laksa and was served by a friendly waiter. Had to wait for a bit under 10 mins, but I didn't mind as I was taking advantage of the free wifi. Lol. When the food came, it was worth it coz it was soo yum! I am not particularly fond of curry based dishes but I wanted to try something different, and was so glad it paid off on this one (I always tend to get unlucky whenever I try to be adventurous with food). The chicken was crispy even if it's soaked in soup, and the noodles had the right firmness too. It's a dish worth going all the way to that side of Docklands for! Will definitely visit again when I come back to Melbourne.

Simply amazing. Had the Nasi Lemak Tofu. Sambal was spot on. So was the laska.

The guy serving was super sweet n very helpful.

I had Nasi goreng and nasi lemak takeaway, and my order was ready as soon as I arrived. The food was delicious and very authentic, speaking from a Malay person. Great location, only 7min walk from the Melbourne convention centre

This restaurant is super convenient, close to the expensive ones by the river, but with one big difference, the meal is very good value. I ordered Assam pedals and it was super aromatic with delicious citrus flavours. My partner had the Nasi goreng and it was amazing and soft. So, it you are at the DFO, just cross the bridge and you will find it super easy. Highly recommended.

Wow! Excellent food and service!
If you're looking for delicious authentic Malaysian food this is the place to go. With a great view of Melbourne CBD and the yarra river.
I will most definitely be coming back again! Highly recommended.
Thank you for an excellent meal.

Nice place for an authentic Malaysian meal. Food is nice and staff are friendly.

The best Malaysian meal in Melbourne is eaten six times a week.
