Indian which apparently has been around for quite while. The design a bit more modern than the average Indian, but the food all the more delicious. If you're looking for non icelandic cooking for a change, I'd recommend this place!

A staffer at the 101 Hotel recomemnded this restaurant. She indicated it would be very good. However, I had no idea it would be as good as it was!! A short walk from our hotel and what an amazing meal. The wait staff was excellent, very attentive but not overdone! Fast and very courteous service. Amazingly fresh food. It's not... More

This Indian restaurant is the best in the world and I have tried Indian food all over the world. It is better than most of the places I tried in India. The Naan bread is so good, soft and delicious. Mmmmm....

The waiters were friendly and always attentive. The superb quality of the ingredients is what make the food so delicious. The... More

Well this is not Indian as we know it in England but according to my partner more Indian than the restaurants in England. We were pleasantly surprised by the superb tasting food and the quiet unobstrusive service we received in this restaurant and is well worth a visit when you finally want a different taste than most restaurants offer.

This indian gets amazing reviews, but if you're from the UK its not an indian like you know it. Speak to the waiters and describe the curries you like to eat and take their suggestions on what to order. Staff helpful and knowledgable Food less than brilliant but remember you are in Iceland, most veg is tinned or canned as... More

Saw this place was recommended in several guidebooks and it was close to our hotel so we gave it a try. Had a lamb dish with cilantro and peppercorns that was excellent. The garlic naan was tasty and nicely charred. Service was attentive without being obtrusive. Would probably make reservations if you are eating on a weekend- we got there... More

If you are looking for a good Indian meal in Iceland, look no further! As somebody who has traveled couple of times to India and having tried a few Indian restaurants in Reykjavik - this is the only one that comes ever so close to being authentic. I was actually surprised how spot on they were in many of their... More

In a small town, for just a few days, it can be hard to narrow down which restaurant you want to try... there are a lot within the area, and so to choose an Indian in Iceland, was not the expectation I had gone with.. BUT.. a good choice it was! Approximately 2 minutes away from the Welcome Apartments that... More
