Bibi Ji OLD LOCATION

Restaurant · Downtown

"In July 2024, Bibi Ji reopened near the Granada Theatre in Santa Barbara’s Arts District. The wonderfully pink dining room now seats double what it used to (70) and serves owner Alejandro Medina’s modern Indian menu, plus a new four-seat chef’s counter for Bibi Ji’s rotating tasting menu. Bibi Ji’s standouts remain on the menu including the dal makhani lentils, barra lamb chop, and tandoori chicken." - Mona Holmes
