Indian Bites serves freshly cooked North Indian curries inside Bakken, the world’s oldest operating amusement park, at Dyrehavsbakken 207 in Klampenborg. Instead of grabbing something on the move, you can sit down to a proper plate of Butter Chicken, fragrant basmati rice and naan straight from the tandoor. With a 4.8-star Google rating and more than 200,000 customers served across our two locations, we have become the park’s go-to choice for a real meal between the rides.

Why Real Indian Food Beats Fast Food for Bakken Park Dining

A day in Dyrehaven is long, and fairground snacks rarely keep you going. What most visitors actually want by mid-afternoon is something hot, fresh and filling. That is the gap Indian Bites was built to fill. Every curry is cooked in-house using spices imported directly from India, traditional North Indian techniques and halal-certified meat. There is no microwave plating and no reheated tray of yesterday’s food, just curries simmered through the day and bread baked when you order it.

Cooked Fresh, in Small Batches

In our kitchen we simmer each curry in small batches rather than holding one giant pot. When you order Butter Chicken, the sauce is built from whole tomatoes, butter and cream, then finished with a custom blend of cardamom, cumin and garam masala and a pinch of dried fenugreek leaves for that signature aroma. We warm the sauce and fold the chicken through to order so it reaches you bright and fresh, not stewed. Lentil and vegetable dishes get the same attention: our Dal Tadka is tempered with a tadka of cumin and garlic bloomed in ghee, poured over the lentils at the last moment.

A Sit-Down Meal in the Middle of the Park

Good Bakken park dining is also about the experience. You can eat in, take a plate to the picnic tables nearby, or carry it to a bench in Dyrehaven under the trees. When guests order takeaway for the forest, we pack the curry and the naan separately so the bread stays soft and the sauce stays hot, a small thing our regulars have come to expect.

What to Order: Our Most Popular Dishes

We keep the menu focused so every dish is one we are proud to send out. These are the plates guests reorder most often, with current prices.

Mains, Served With Basmati Rice

• Butter Chicken, 149 DKK: tender chicken in a creamy, gently sweet tomato and butter sauce, the most loved curry in India and our number one seller at Bakken.
• Chicken Tikka Masala, 149 DKK: marinated grilled chicken in a spiced tomato gravy with a deeper, smokier profile than Butter Chicken.
• Lamb Curry, 159 DKK: lamb slow-cooked in a rich onion and tomato base seasoned with whole spices until it falls apart.
• Dal Tadka, 125 DKK: golden yellow lentils tempered with cumin, garlic and ghee, our most popular vegetarian main.
• Palak Paneer, 135 DKK: soft Indian cheese in a silky spinach sauce with garlic, ginger and warming spices.

To Start, To Share, and To Drink

• Samosa (2 pc), 49 DKK: crisp pastry parcels filled with spiced potato and peas.
• Vegetable Pakora, 49 DKK: chickpea-battered vegetable fritters, light and golden.
• Naan 25 DKK, Garlic Naan 30 DKK, Cheese Naan 35 DKK, baked fresh in the tandoor.
• Mango Lassi, 39 DKK: a cooling yoghurt drink that balances the spice; soft drinks 25 DKK.

Bakken Park Dining With the Family

Bakken draws Danish families and visitors from across the region, and our kitchen is set up for them. The milder curries, Butter Chicken above all, pair naturally with rice and naan and rarely meet a child who refuses them. We can dial the spice up or down on request, so cautious eaters and chilli fans can share the same table. A tested order for two adults and a child: one Butter Chicken, one Dal Tadka, a Garlic Naan and a Mango Lassi to share, which lands around 350 to 380 DKK for a freshly cooked meal inside a major attraction.
