What to Eat at Bakken: A Food Guide for Visitors

If you are wondering what the best things to eat at Bakken are, the short answer is: skip the standard amusement park snacks and get a real meal at Indian Bites Bakken. We sit at Dyrehavsbakken 207, just inside Denmark’s oldest amusement park, and serve freshly cooked North Indian curries, halal-certified meat, and vegetarian dishes that hold up to a long day in the park. With a 4.8-star Google rating and more than 200,000 customers served across our locations, we have spent years figuring out exactly what travels well between rides and what makes a satisfying break in the middle of Dyrehaven.

Why Real Food Beats Park Snacks

Bakken is a full-day destination. Most visitors arrive in the late morning, ride for two or three hours, and quickly hit the wall around lunchtime. Cotton candy and waffles are part of the park’s charm, but they will not carry you through an afternoon of roller coasters and walking. Indian food is built for exactly this kind of day. Slow-cooked sauces, basmati rice, and protein-rich lentils and chickpeas keep energy steady, and the spice levels at Indian Bites are dialled in for Danish palates without losing the depth that makes North Indian cuisine special.

We import our spices directly from India, prepare our curries in small batches every day, and use halal-certified meat across the menu. That is the standard at our Pustervig restaurant in Copenhagen city centre, and we hold the Bakken kitchen to the same bar.

The Best Things to Eat at Bakken: Top Dishes at Indian Bites

Butter Chicken (149 DKK)

The dish that most first-time visitors order, and the one most regulars come back for. Tender chicken simmered in a creamy tomato sauce with butter, cream, and a mild blend of garam masala and fenugreek. It is rich without being heavy, and the natural sweetness makes it the easiest curry to share with kids or anyone trying Indian food for the first time. Served with basmati rice.

Chicken Tikka Masala (149 DKK)

Often confused with Butter Chicken, but the two are not the same. Tikka Masala uses chicken that is marinated in yoghurt and spices, then grilled before going into a tangier, slightly more spiced tomato-onion sauce. If you prefer a deeper, more savoury curry over a creamy one, this is your dish.

Lamb Curry (159 DKK)

Slow-cooked lamb in a thicker gravy built around onion, ginger, garlic, and a heavier hand on the spices. This is the choice for visitors who want something more robust after a morning of roller coasters. It pairs particularly well with Garlic Naan.

Dal Tadka (125 DKK)

The most underrated dish on the menu. Yellow lentils cooked low and slow, then finished with a tempering of cumin, garlic, and chilli in hot oil that gets poured over the top right before serving. Comforting, vegan when ordered without naan, and the best value plate at Bakken at 125 DKK.

Palak Paneer (135 DKK)

Fresh spinach blended into a smooth sauce with onion, garlic, and warming spices, then finished with cubes of Indian cheese. Vegetarian, protein-rich, and one of the most popular plant-based dishes in North Indian cooking.

Starters and Sides Worth Ordering

If you have time to sit down, a starter takes the meal from good to excellent. Two of our most ordered starters at Bakken are:

• Samosa (49 DKK): two crispy pastries filled with spiced potato and peas, served with chutneys. Great for sharing, easy to eat with your hands, and travel-friendly if you want to walk and snack.
• Vegetable Pakora (49 DKK): vegetables dipped in a chickpea-flour batter and deep-fried until golden. The closest Indian equivalent to a Danish “snack between rides”, and a kid favourite.

For bread, Naan is 25 DKK, Garlic Naan is 30 DKK, and Cheese Naan is 35 DKK. We recommend ordering one bread per two people to share, especially with the saucier curries.

What to Drink

Mango Lassi (39 DKK) is the classic Indian drink and the right call on a warm summer day at Bakken. It is a thick, sweet yoghurt drink with mango, and it works as both a thirst-quencher and a natural cool-down if you have ordered something with a bit more chilli. Soft drinks are 25 DKK.
