What to Order at Indian Bites
The menu at Indian Bites focuses on the most beloved North Indian classics, each executed with authenticity and care. Here are the must-try dishes:

Tandoor-grilled chicken simmered in a velvety sauce of tomato, cream, cashews, and fenugreek leaves — rich, slightly sweet, and deeply satisfying. Read more about butter chicken in Copenhagen.
Biryani (155 DKK) is a showstopper — aromatic basmati rice layered with slow-cooked chicken or lamb and whole spices, sealed and steamed using the traditional dum method. One of the most impressive dishes on the menu and perfect for those who want something a little more special.
Dal Tadka (125 DKK) is the vegetarian standout: yellow lentils slowly cooked until silky, finished with a sizzled tarka of cumin, garlic, dried chilli, and ghee. Simple but revelatory. Palak Paneer (135 DKK) — spinach and fresh Indian cheese — is another excellent vegetarian option. Start with a Samosa (35 DKK) and accompany everything with a Garlic Naan (30 DKK).
