The food at this place its superb and unique. There is a very personalized service from the staff. I was only in Reykjavik for 4 nights and I ate at this place twice. I'd recommend any of the lamb dishes which are the best I've ever tasted. Oh and make sure you wash it all down with Cobra beer!

Coming off a tour we wanted to grab a nice dinner close by and we noticed this Indian (but really Nepalese) restaurant. It was empty which scares some people but the menu looked great. A friendly staff member held our hand through all the options and every dish was amazing. We were licking our plates at the end. I rarely... More

Kitchen Eldhus is a gem of a place in Reykjavik. The service and meal were outstanding. My wife and I are both vegans and I also don't eat oil. The owner was very understanding and prepared an awesome meal for us. Our non-vegan meat eating friend raved about his lamb dish. A very friendly and warm place to enjoy a... More

We've been to Kitchen Eldhús a couple of times and have never been disappointed. The food is unique and the seasoning of the dishes changes over the year. The chef seems to really love what he is doing. He often even comes out to talk to his customers in person which only adds to the feeling that he really cares... More

We visited this restaurant after reading reviews on here, The service at this restaurant was very good even the chef came out of the kitchen to speak to us. The popaddums were homemade and so lovely. Mains were great and just the right spice i would have a curry. Highly recommend visiting here.

Fantastic food - less oily and far sweeter than a UK counterpart. Not too expensive by Reykjavic's standards either! One slight letdown was the naan - I'd not bother if I were to return.

I have tried a lot of indian type restaurants but was very surprised with this one. Even naan tasted amazingly! Food is very fresh and feels light. I enojoyed this place the most in Iceland. Service was pleasant. I wish I had a chance to come there again during my trip.

After trying Icelandic food (for the experience!), we were looking for something with TASTE. We stumbled upon a great Indian/Nepalese restaurant in downtown Reykjavik. The Nepalese owner and his Tibetan wife run this lovely little place. The night we came in the owner was chef and serving tables (staff had not shown up that day). It was late and we... More

The four of us ended up here by accident, as the restaurant we were searching for had closed down, and it was getting a little late. What a nice surprise, the food was excellent, especially the buttered nan. We ate upstairs as the lower floor was a little crowded. The owner and chef (who seemed to be trying to fill... More

Kitchen - Eldhús is our favorite restaurant in Reykjavík! The food is very very good and the service is excellent. Have a chat with the owner about the family recipes from Nepal and listen to traditional Nepalese music while dining and you are in for a great and interesting evening.
