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!

Likewise, my mom ordered the string hopper(idiyappam) with fish curry, she said the fish curry reminded her of my Achi's (grandmother) fish curry. Very authentic, delicious Tamil food!

Would definitely recommend this place for a cheap quick bite with some friends if you're after some casual street food.

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!

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.
