Beautiful restaurant and wonderful service. The Lamb with Spinach and Buttered Chicken was the best we've had this far. This is a must visit if you are in the area.

For our last night in Copenhagen we decided to go to a Pakistani restaurant for dinner which is kind of our thing as we have had an extremely good experience with Pakistani restaurants in Europe. We got extremely lucky when we were in Florence and Barcelona and Prague and obviously very disappointed that we got microwaved and frozen food in Rome and Budapest. But that didn't deter us from trying this one in Copenhagen. The night didn't start well as it was raining and we had to wait for 30 minutes to catch a bus which was very unusual as public transport is extremely prompt in all of Europe. But once we got to the restaurant it was all worth the effort. The Sahil restaurant is located a few minutes from the Nyhaven area of Copenhagen. From my research I knew that this was the oldest Pakistani restaurant in Copenhagen. The decor was pretty unique as we entered the restaurant and even though they were pretty busy for a Wednesday night and we didn't have a reservation they had one empty four top that we were seated at. The server came immediately to take the order. We inquired where the cook was from and were told that he was from Punjab which was good to hear as they are usually the best cooks from that region. The server also informed us that all the meat was boneless which is my usual preference to begin with. We ordered the samosa and seekh kebab appetizer to start and got the chicken karahi with two naans for dinner. The food was delicious and extremely well cooked. The server thought we had double the appetite and they actually brought out 2 orders of the chicken karahi, one of which we had to send back as it was too much food. But the food was awesome and I have to put this Pakistani restaurant as most probably the best Pakistani food I have had in Europe. Amazingly the service was excellent too which is usually the only negative thing that you experience in a Pakistani restaurant. 5 stars all the way. Hope to get back to Sahil and Copenhagen in the future.

Great service with good food. I'll try other options rather try other restaurant options before coming back here again.

Had an excellent time here. The food is authentic and they are aware of allergies. The gluten free and vegan dishes were made properly :)

My knowledge of Indian food is sadly lacking so I was happy to be introduced to this place by a…read morenative. She said she'd just eaten here a week before but was happy to go again; that says something! To start the evening, I got an Indian Summer Bourbon (75 dkk) which was nicely heavy on the bourbon but wasn't that great even though there was supposed to be Limoncello in it. Two of my favourite alcohols, how could it have gone so wrong? Also it had some dry herbs sprinkled on top which got all over my lips and teeth so I had to ask for a straw. Odd drink! Luckily the Chettinad Special Fish (137 dkk) fared much better with perfectly cooked salmon/trout in a delicious thick sauce. I was surprised that it came with pink fish as I assumed most fish used in Indian cuisine has white flesh. I guess the restaurant is just working with what they can get here. It came with rice and I ate the whole thing. I also got a bite of Maria G.'s Lamb Sukka Varuval Fry (139 dkk) which had great texture and taste. Normally I don't get dessert but I love Gulab Jamun (55 dkk) so I had to give theirs a try. It was so delicious but also very hot, so be careful! Maria kindly let me have some of her pistachio Kulfi (49 dkk) to cool my mouth and I almost regretted not getting that instead. I love pistachio ice cream and this was no exception! It was a little hard to hear my tablemates in there but I could definitely hear the party behind me. And although the waiter was nice, he forgot about us a couple times as the place was filling up. We asked him for some more fried chilies (which were incredibly salty on their own but seasoned our dishes well) and had to wave him down again once our food was half-eaten. But this is nothing that would keep me from coming back again for great food at a very decent price.

I love Indian food, but don't have quite the knowledge to figure out what's what and what's…read moreauthentic. So I let myself to be dragged to this place, for what's supposed to authentic South Indian food. The place is on the busy Vesterbrogade, slightly tucked in on the first floor with room full of natural light (it can get quite dark after sundown). All white and tidy, although I'm not sure if it's the smartest choice when you're serving curry and the likes. I had masala dosa for starter, which is very good if you're into spicy stuff, as it's spicy. It was quite large and filling for a starter (I don't know want to know how big is the paper dosa is - that is claimed to be as big as newspaper, hope it doesn't taste like one either). For main course I had the Karaikudi Nandu Masala, crab cooked in curry. Now here the challenge starts. It's two huge crab claws and half the crab (could've had more in it) cooked in reddish curry that is spicy and very good. I got all the tools I need but it would have been better if the crab claws were cracked first so it would make it easier for me to scoop out the meat. Do I need to say that my part of table becomes very messy right away since I had to hold the crab claws and crack them? I do not regret a single thing tho' - that crab curry was very good and I'd do it all over again and that I'm used to eating crab, messy as hell, but at least the kitchen could've helped when the restaurant is decorated nicely, not a street food when you're allowed to break open the crab with a hammer :) For dessert our friend shared the Idly (the pancake-looking made from fermented rice (the menu described these as the form of UFOs :P ) and gulab jamun that were also very good, but then again I'm not into sweet stuff, so I'd have no problem to skip those. The bill comes up at 265 DKK for Masala Dosa, Nandu Masala and a bottle of Kingfisher. Quite fair considering I had the crab menu that is usually pricey anyway. I'd eat dinner here again, but maybe if I chose the crab dish again, I'd come better prepared Dexter style with plastic raincoat and gloves :P
