There were other closer restaurants in this Theater District part of Oslo, but she was fairly dismissive of some of what we asked about. Yet, we got good directions down Karl Johan Gate and after a short walk and ascent to the 2nd Floor, we arrived a Jaipur. We were seated and waited on promptly. Looking around the room, we were probably in the minority as far as tourists go. That was great as the locals/ethnic buzz in the room added well to our experience. Our food was very tasty and with generous portions. Dining out in Oslo is expensive, with food, drinks, and tip easily reaching $100 per couple. And we did get our money's worth, although maybe we should have been more adventurous with our Tikka/Curry menu choices (with Naan and Indian beer or course). Service was attentive and payment was up front. As a good meal in a new city goes, Jaipur was a solid authentic Indian choice. But, if you want more local Norwegian cuisine experience, try the nearby Elias Mat & Sant.

Palmyra Cafe is a friendly neighborhood restaurant in Gronland serving authentic Tamil food with a…read moretropical flavor profile that's all its own! The Masala Dosai was a crepe made from a fermented rice and uridhal (lentil) batter, served with a filling of spiced potatoes and served with dhal (lentil soup), coconut chutney, and sambar (vegetable/lentil soup) on the side. The crepe was perfectly thin and crispy, and each of the accompaniments was perfectly spiced (especially with lots of mustard seeds). I also tried the Kottu Rotti Chicken, a dish made of chopped roti flatbreads stir-fried with shredded chicken, egg, onion, and chilli. The rotis retained a chewy texture, and the meaty chicken and spices turned the boring leftovers into an exciting new dish. Even more memorable than the food, however, was our server, a new immigrant from Nepal, who made us feel right at home and made special accommodations to serve us even close to closing time. This is a great, local, small business worth supporting!

Located in the international neighborhood of Gronland, Punjab Tandoori is one of the few eateries…read morein Oslo that provides a great value for money. Every entree here came with rice, naan, and salad, making for an amazing value meal. The Non-Veg Thali was served on a sectioned metal platter and came with a chicken curry, lamb curry, potato/pea curry, and chickpea curry, along with salad dressed with yogurt, basmati rice, and freshly-baked naan. The spices in each curry were bold and flavorful, but my favorites were the chicken and lamb curries, which went especially well with the chewy, crispy naan bread for dipping. I also tried the Chicken Tandoori, a whole chicken leg that was marinaded and grilled to juicy perfection in a tandoor oven, served with a tomato-based curry sauce on the side. All the food here was delicious, and the fast, friendly service and unbelievable prices were memorable highlights too!

You step down into the basement of an typical Oslo building and the good smell of the tandoori oven invites you already. I guess it is a also a very cozy place to for dinner (middag) Ordering is simple and can be done in Norwegian or English - for sure also in more Indian languages which I don't speak. The food tastes like in good restaurants in India and the "spiciness" is somewhere between the more moderate style in Germany and the hotter one found in the United Kingdom. On request all other "levels" would have been possible. The mango lassie was as expected and the food delicious and to the point. In case of even colder weather than the day I visited the place additional electric heaters are held ready for your convenience. Me being very picky about the excess usage of air-condition and exaggerated ventilation was helped by kindly shutting down these devices for a while - mange takk!. The lady who serves had a smile and was obviously aware that it is worthwhile working there. The toilets are clean and spacy. Go there! - is was the best Indian place I could find in Oslo so far (March 2011). smoke-free environment

After perusing the menu for a bit, I went with the special of the day, the chicken curry and an order of naan. The chicken curry was actually very tasty and was a rather large portion for the price.

Overall, this place serves up some great food, the air conditioning could have been better, as could have the Wifi, but otherwise is a decent spot to grab a no frills bite.

Real tandoori oven with them taking out delicious meats and bread. The nan was a bit disappointing seeing it Come out the oven, but it was probably the thin style.
