Why Indian Bites is the Best Indian Restaurant in Copenhagen
With hundreds of restaurants competing for your attention in Copenhagen, what makes Indian Bites stand out? We’ve been serving authentic North Indian cuisine in the heart of the city since we opened, building a loyal customer base of Copenhageners, expats and tourists who return again and again. Here’s why:
Chefs from Northern India
Our head chef grew up in Punjab, the heartland of North Indian cuisine. He brings decades of family recipes and traditional cooking techniques straight to our kitchen at Pustervig 4. You’ll taste the difference immediately – our masala bases simmer for hours, our yoghurt marinades are left overnight, and our naan is stretched by hand and baked in a genuine tandoor clay oven.
Real Spices, Imported From India
We import our core spices directly from India: whole Kashmiri red chillies, black cardamom from the Himalayas, long pepper, dried fenugreek (methi), and pure saffron from Kashmir. These are ground fresh in our kitchen – not bought pre-mixed from a bag. This is what creates the depth of flavour our guests describe as “the best they’ve had outside India”.
Unbeatable Value in the City Centre
Copenhagen is one of the world’s most expensive cities to eat out. Indian Bites is a rare exception: most main dishes are priced under 100 DKK (approximately €13), making us an outstanding value option for a quality sit-down meal in the city centre. Our portion sizes are generous, and we never sacrifice quality for price.
Must-Try Dishes on Your First Visit
Not sure what to order? Here are our top recommendations for first-time visitors:
🍗 Butter Chicken (Murgh Makhani)
Our most popular dish by far. Tender, marinated chicken simmered in a rich, velvety sauce of tomatoes, cream, butter and aromatic spices. Mild enough for everyone, complex enough to be fascinating. Best enjoyed with Garlic Naan to mop up the sauce.
🥩 Lamb Biryani
Slow-cooked tender lamb layered with fragrant basmati rice, whole spices and caramelised onions. Baked in a sealed pot (dum style) to lock in all the aromas. A complete meal in one dish – and one of the most celebrated dishes in North Indian cuisine.
🧀 Dal Makhani
The vegetarian masterpiece: whole black lentils slow-cooked overnight with tomatoes, butter and cream. It’s a dish you’ll remember long after you leave Copenhagen. Rich, smoky and deeply satisfying.
🔥 Chicken Tikka Masala
Grilled chicken tikka pieces in a vibrant orange masala sauce – aromatic, slightly spiced and wonderfully complex. Our version is made the traditional way with charcoal-kissed chicken, giving it a subtle smokiness you don’t find in most restaurant versions.
