If you want a proper Indian lunch in Copenhagen on a weekday, the answer is close to Stroget: Indian Bites at Pustervig 4, in the heart of Indre By. We open at 11:00 every day, so you can sit down for a hot plate of butter chicken and basmati rice long before the dinner crowd arrives, or grab it to take back to the office. Everything is cooked fresh in our kitchen with spices we import directly from India, and we have served more than 200,000 guests across our locations while earning a 4.7-star Google rating from 533 reviews. This guide covers where to find us, what to order, what it costs, and how to get an Indian lunch to your desk when you are short on time.

Where to Find a Good Indian Lunch in Copenhagen

Lunch options in the city centre are plenty, but a warm, freshly cooked curry is a different kind of midday meal. Indian Bites sits at Pustervig 4, 1126 Kobenhavn K, a two minute walk from Stroget and close to Norreport Station, which makes it easy to reach whether you work nearby or you are out shopping.

Open Every Day from 11:00 to 20:30

We are open every day of the week, Monday to Sunday, from 11:00 to 20:30. The same full menu runs all day, so an early 11:00 lunch and a late afternoon plate are cooked with equal care. There is no separate, reduced lunch menu and no fixed sitting, which suits both a quick solo bite and a longer catch-up with colleagues.

A Sit-Down Lunch or a Meal to Go

You can dine in at Pustervig 4, order takeaway to collect, or have lunch delivered. Weekday lunches tend to move quickly with us, so if you have a tight window, ordering ahead on our website means your food is ready when you arrive.

What to Order for an Indian Lunch in Copenhagen

A good Indian lunch balances something rich, something fresh, and good bread to bring it together. All our mains come with fragrant basmati rice, so a single dish is a full meal.

Butter Chicken and Chicken Tikka Masala

Butter Chicken is our most reordered lunch dish for good reason: tender chicken in a smooth tomato and cream sauce, finished with a warm hit of garam masala and a whisper of fenugreek that gives it that gentle, almost buttery depth. Chicken Tikka Masala is a little more savoury and tangy, with grilled, marinated chicken in a spiced tomato gravy. Both are mild enough for a midday meal that will not slow down your afternoon. Mains are 125 to 149 DKK.

Vegetarian Favourites: Palak Paneer and Dal Tadka

For a vegetarian lunch, Palak Paneer pairs soft cubes of fresh paneer with a smooth, spiced spinach sauce that tastes green and fresh rather than heavy. Dal Tadka is yellow lentils simmered until creamy and finished with a tempering, or tadka, of cumin, garlic, and chilli bloomed in hot ghee just before serving. Both are naturally satisfying and sit well through a working afternoon.

Bread, Rice, and a Mango Lassi

Add a Garlic Naan, baked to order in our tandoor so it comes out soft with a little char, to soak up the sauce. Naan is 25 to 35 DKK. A Mango Lassi, thick and cooling, rounds off the plate at 25 to 39 DKK and takes the edge off any spice. Start with a Samosa or Vegetable Pakora, 49 to 69 DKK, if you want a little more.

Weekday Lunch: Dine In, Takeaway, or Delivery

How you eat your Indian lunch in Copenhagen depends on your day. Here is how each option works with us.

Takeaway Built for a Desk Lunch

When you order takeaway, we pack the curry, rice, and naan in separate containers on purpose, so the bread does not steam soft and the rice stays fluffy by the time you sit down at your desk. It is a small thing our regulars have taught us to get right. Order on indianbites.dk and collect when it is ready.

Wolt Delivery Across Central Copenhagen

Prefer to stay put? We deliver via Wolt across central Copenhagen, so a hot lunch can reach your office or hotel without you leaving your chair.

Spice Level, Your Way

We finish every curry to order, which means we can dial the heat up for a big appetite or down for a milder plate, including gentle versions for children. Just tell us when you order, and we adjust it in the pan rather than serving a one-size sauce.

Why Our Kitchen Is Worth the Walk

An authentic Indian lunch comes down to how the food is cooked, not just what is on the menu. Our curry bases of onion, ginger, garlic, and tomato are slow-simmered until deep and rich, and we layer whole spices such as cumin, cardamom, and cloves at different stages so no single note takes over. The spices are imported directly from India, and every dish is prepared fresh daily. All our meat is halal-certified, and there are vegetarian and vegan choices on the menu every day.

Hungry for lunch? Book a table or order takeaway at indianbites.dk, or plan a bigger midday meal for the whole office through our Indian catering service.
