Food was 4 stars, hospitality made it 5. Took us in late and was super friendly. Very good butter chicken and naan. Thank you!!

The good: Service was excellent. Most of the food was well prepared and tasty. The bad: Granted it was a weeknight, but only two tables were filled in a very large restaurant. It felt strange. We were seated up against the window to the street as if to show us off to passers by. Overall, a clean and nice place. Higher than expected prices, smaller portions than expected, great waiter, and a seemingly struggling to survive restaurant. read more

Warm and welcoming followed by amazing flavors. Started with beef kebabs, perfectly seasoned and great sides too. Lamb for main with garlic naan was a pleasure to the palate. Mango and cheese for dessert was the perfect finish. A few pints along the way. Highly recommend! read more

Good Indian/Pakistanian place with midian size a la carte menu. They also have some set menus, if you do not know how to combine the different dishes. The polite and humours waiters can also help you. The food is spicy but not hot. They have worked a lot to get the right favours. You are asked how spicy you want you food. You can get more servings, if you are not quite full. read more

Al-Diwan - Pakistani Near Me - Copenhagen, 84

Perfectly made indian and pakistanian food, with great atmosphere and superb service. A must try for any spice-lover. We had a table for two in the corner by the window. At once we noticed the somewhat formal but very pleasant feel of the place. It was exactly was we were looking for. The server was very accommodating and recommended one of the six fixed menues they offered. We payed 295,- for each. We had the same menu, so they would make it for two. The rest of the menu looked to be full of other goodies, and they offered a wide array of wines. We got the first dish at an impressive speed, and from the start we knew we had choosen well. It was from there on a culinary experience of the few. The butter chicken was definetly our favourite, and the naanbread we were served was propably the best we've ever tasted. My date got full in a heartbeat and asked if she could bring some of it home, so they happily gave her a box with it in a bag. The menu ended with great Nespresso coffe and a tasty warm desert. Altogether this was one of the best dining experienced we've had. There was nothing I could point to that should have been better. If your in Copenhagen, please visit this great place. read more

Al-Diwan - Pakistani Near Me - Copenhagen, 84

It's not every day I feel like carb-loading and sweating while I eat, but when I have one of those days, they will, from here on out, be spent at Al-Diwan. Extra points awarded because I'm sick, can't breathe through my nose, can't smell anything, generally feel like death, and still managed to taste the flavor in my dinner. What a pleasant delight that was after mouth-breathing all the day long. Pro-tip: if you happen to be a fan of a particular Indian dish that you don't see on the menu, ask them to make it for you. They are pretty open minded. I got my saag paneer without any problem, and was able to switch out rice for naan at no extra charge. Their mango lassi is also brilliant. read more

if you want good indian/Pakistani food, definitely stop by here. The seekh kebabs and chaat are a must try. Khaled, the restaurant owner chatted with us and told us all about the whereabouts of Copenhagen. we had a lovely conversation. the restaurant is clean and beautiful and the food was delicious. read more

After eating only Danish food for almost the entire week while visiting my friend's family, we both wanted something DIFFERENT. Since we're both major fans of Indian food we checked yelp (obviously) and found that this place was literally around the corner from our hotel and I am SO GLAD we did. This was absolutely delicious. We started with Fish pakora (crispy little fish bites with some tasty salad to go with it and a great sauce for dipping), and the papadoms (which are crispy things that come with a sweet sauce and a spicier sauce to put over the top). NONE of the appetizers were left because they were delicious and we were hungry. For our entrees we both requested that he make them hot and after checking with us that we were sure, he went off into the kitchen. Both of us drank a King fisher beer while we waited (tasty) and were so excited when the lamb tikka masala and the lamb biryani showed up. At first both of us were sighing that they hadn't made the food spicy but SHEESH does it sneak up on you! By the end of the meal both of us were reaching for our beer and laughing at how the heat built up. If you like it hot, just ASK when you order and then wait to enjoy it. The lamb was extremely tender, and these were fantastic portions. Neither of us finished ours, but when the waiter insisted we try the dessert special of the night (for free, mind you!) we had to cave because it was gulab jamun and I love it. We said just to bring a bite or two and he came out with 10 little gulab jamun donut balls drizzled in sweetness. We each took a couple and then realized we were going to have to waddle back to the hotel in a stupor. The food was GREAT, the service was GREAT, and I really wish I knew a place this tasty where I live in Texas. Highly recommend it! read more

Very delcious meals. Good service. Good place to taste Indian kitchen. You can get mild spicy food. The price suits tourist budget and the location is central (close to Vesterport station". read more

Al-Diwan - Pakistani Near Me - Copenhagen, 84

See all

Passed by and was intrigued by the "Traditional Moghul Cuisine" sign in the window, white table cloth settings, and candlelight. Not knowing what Moghul referred to, had to try it. Staff was very friendly and along with Google, helped explain the history and geography of the former Moghul Empire, which evidently now includes Agra, the Taj Mahal, Kashmir, etc. The menu is familiar to anyone who likes Indian food - I had the papadum, spicy chicken specialty of the house, and rice with peas. Each item is ala carte, which is the only drawback, as in the US, both are typically included in the meal. The food did not disappoint and as usual I left with a full tummy and a smile on my face. Elegant setting and friendly staff made this a great random choice. read more

Decent Indian food at reasonable pricing. But an Indian restaurant with beef on the menu? After a day of travel to get to Copenhagen, we were hungry and tired, so a cursory Yelp search found Al-Diwan and its otherworldly 5-star rating. Coming in, of course everyone speaks English. Solid menu with many of the core basic Indian dishes we know and love. One super-weird, possibly local market concession is that they had beef dishes on the menu. If you know anything about India, umm. . .yeah. Putting that aside, the food was pretty good. My lamb dish tasted a bit different from the standard Indian dishes I know from New York City, but was still decent. She liked her buttered chicken, but again it was not what she was used to, but was still fine. "Didn't taste bad, but tasted off. Not authentic buttered chicken" - her words exactly. The naan was definitely different from normal naan, felt more like a giant seasoned pita pocket, definitely different and untraditional. And the rice was, umm, rice. One order of naan and one order of rice was enough for our meals too, saving a bit of money there. Service was solid, food was okay, atmosphere was nice, so that make a 3-star for me. read more

Eh, just average really. Cold papadoms, really, really soggy king prawns (some of them basically just dissolved in my mouth). Service was good but I wouldn't return, nor recommend as it was just distinctly average..at best. read more

Went back a week later. Got the Sheek Kabob and Prawns Masala. Both were awesome. The kabob was much spicier than I expected, and came with some delicious grilled vegetables. read more

Awesome authentic Indian food, nearly homemade. The owners serve themselves, and with a pleasant smile.

The best Indian food in Copenhagen . Chicken tikka is delicious You must try Shahi Chicken. And don't forget Chicken Biryani. When you in Copenhagen and you love Indian food YOu Must come here. Great service with great smile. read more

Great Indian food in a relaxed atmospgere. Great service and even better. Tikka..butter chicken the tops

Great food, Great service. We had the Lamb Tikka Masala and Chicken Shahi. I asked for it hot...it was perfect. Need to stop in for great Indian food if your in Copenhagen. read more

Had a very nice experience tonight. We asked for the food to be spicy and they delivered for sure. We had Lamb Saag, Shahi Chicken, Chat, and Veggie Pakora. All were delicious. the chat does not have any crisps in it, which we thought strange, but possibly because we are from the US and it is served differently here. We were served a pitcher of tap water without any hassle and the service was super friendly and welcoming. read more

This restaurant was fabulous! There were three of us and we shared the butter chicken, the spinach and lamb and the mixed vegetables. I love butter chicken in general and this was the best I've ever had. Really good flavor and the meat was super tender. The mango lassi was also superb. The rest of the food was also great but the butter chicken made the biggest impression. Friendly service and a nice atmosphere. read more

For all people saying that's weird that an Indian restaurant serves beef... well, it's a Pakistani restaurant serving some Indian dishes, but still a Pakistani restaurant. So expect a few differences with respect to the Indian food you're used to. The staff speaks perfect English and was super attentive without being intrusive. Food was simply amazing. I recommend any dish with 'cottage cheese' (but don't expect anything like the English cottage cheese) and the chief's dessert, a mix of home made mango ice-cream, nuts and dates, and some round deep-fried dough balls soaked in honey. Libidinous. read more

Very good Indian food in the heart of Copenhagen. And for Copenhagen, reasonably priced.

We had a lovely meal here. Curry puffs are pretty good as was the garlic naan and chicken tikka marsala. Service was prompt and polite and they spoke good English too. Top place! Food wasn't spicy but had good flavours. read more

Walked in at 9:40 and was rushed to order because "the kitchen closes at 10." The chaat was gross. The other food was okay in its own way but definitely didn't taste like any Indian home-cooked meals or Indian restaurants I like. Then people started smoking inside the dining room at the end of my meal. I was appalled and glad to be leaving. read more

Amazing (or appalling) that this restaurant currently has 4.5 stars. I am a visitor in Copenhagen, so can't know how it compares to other Indian restaurants in the city. But if you have ever had Indian food in London or New York (leave alone India itself), you will be deeply disappointed. Appetizers seem to have gone from freezer to fryer to plate. Raita was literally just plain yogurt with chopped cucumbers and the mildest peppers -- no seasoning at all. Main courses were bland, bland, and gloppy. The roti was thick and rubbery. The pullau rice was the best part of the dinner, even as it was substandard. Copenhagen has some great restaurants. This is not one of them. read more

We had an excellent meal!! Abid and his team accommodated our 55 (!!!) guests with an outstanding buffet!! Great service, food, people!!

Great Service. Cozy restaurant with very good food. And finally found an Indian Restaurant where I got my moneys worth. They are not selfish with portions. Service 4.5 food 4.5. But since I had to choose 4 stars or 5 stars I chose 5 read more

The front door said they're open every day until 11 pm. We got there on Sunday at 10 and they told us they were closed. Super annoying.
