Babur’s Halibut rassa is a traditional Maharashtrian fish curry brimming with coastal flavours. The fish is gently poached in a spiced, tomato-and-coconut broth and served with raw mango veggie lentil rice.
Paired with our Wild Verdant cocktail - a quenching combination of Cachaça, fresh lime, coconut, basil & mint - you might just think you’ve been transported to somewhere along the Konkan coast!
Book your table at Babur, no passport required 😉
