Once you enter this restaurant, you'll immediately feel like being in another country (not India or…read moreany other country in Asia for that matter). The jazz playing in the background is fantastic. It was on a pay day right before Easter. I was greeted by a seemingly stressed non-Indian waiter. My table was set within 5 seconds with water, table cloth and the rest... but also a small glass filled with crayolas (???) . at first I thought my table was a children's table. I soon realised that all tables had their bunch of crayolas in glasses. While waiting, I was offered a fantastic tiny portion of ginger tomato soup with creamy coconut. I was delighted! While I was waiting for my main course, an extra spicy hizz frizz (#14 on the menu),a young woman asked "what is Ocra?" to the staff. The waiter invited her to try the soup while explaining. What a great tactic to lure in hungry customers! Having that soup to begin with, might either be a manipulation or a fair announcement of what is coming next. Anyways... I was anxiously waiting for my meal. It finally arrived 50 minutes later. It wasn't bad but nothing special either. And most of all, it didn't taste like Indian food normally does. So was it worth the waiting while slurping a spoon of soup and playing with crayolas? ABSOLUTELY NOT! The reason why this place doesn't deserve a 5 star is mainly because : - it isn't very clear about being exclusively vegetarian and vegan. As a meat lover I was fairly disappointed when realizing that no meat was on the menu. I regretted on why I ended up there. - the time I had to wait for having my meal.... Half hour is okay but a whole hour? Come on. - the size of the portion. It's quite small. A main course isn't enough to quench your hunger. You need several starters to go with it. - the non-Indian waiter's arrogance. I was treated like air, which I didn't appreciate. - the price! It's way too expensive.

A friend suggested meeting at Masala Kitchen when we were in town visiting, which is how I found…read moremyself eating there last week. The menu for lunch is relatively simple, something that I am told is common in Gothenburg. Essentially, there are two lunch specials for each day, along with a vegetarian option that rotates. We all went with the meat-free selection, which was a veggie dal, some kind of okra dish with lentils and sauces, and we got naan on the side. For what the food was, it was pretty tasty, and it was also filling. For 90 SEK (or about €10), the price was also extremely good. I do wish that there was more of a vegetarian option other than whatever the chef decides to make that day, but even so, it was good. The service was fine. The restaurant itself is small, but there is a pretty quick turnover at lunchtime. I wouldn't necessarily go out of my way to eat here, but if you're in the area, it's maybe worth checking out.

I ended up here and figured Indian food would be great on a day like this. It wasn't as authentic as I'd hoped. The Butter Chicken Korma was more sweet than spicy. Some of the chicken pieces were questionable - either chewy, unseasoned, or weird texture. It definitely kept me full until dinner but it wasn't as satisfying as I hoped.

Edit: came back a few days later a little earlier in the day and was disappointed to find that the menu selection is extremely small for lunch. I enjoyed my food a lot less, but I'm picky about Indian food and the small selection didn't have what I wanted. Still definitely recommend, but if you're picky like me, come for dinner, not lunch.

Came here on a Saturday afternoon with my boyfriend. While the prices seemed a little high…read more(betweeen 160-200 kr per meal), we decided to stay and share one plate between the two of us. After scoping out Yelp and TripAdvisor, we decided to order spicy Lamb Biryani. It isn't on the menu, but they make it to order. Boy was I so glad I ordered it. As I understand, they make biryani with whatever sort of protein you want (ie chicken, lamb, fish etc).. I just wish I had gotten a picture. They brought out a long plate of what looked like seasoned yellow rice, but as I scooped it onto my plate, I realized the lamb had been cooked inside the rice (it was kind of like a Twinkie, the lamb being the filling). They also brought out sauce for the biryani on the side. Thank god for that by the way, because it was really spicy and I would not have been able to eat all of my biryani like that. In addition to the biryani, we ordered a side of garlic naan. It took some time for them to bring it out, but I realized after that it was because it was freshly made as well. Between the two of us, I think it was a good meal. I was quite full, but my boyfriend said he could've eaten the whole thing if he had been hungry. The takeaway? If your boyfriend is an athlete, and super hungry, have him order his own entree, otherwise sharing is enough for two. For that meal we paid 197 kr. While it's still a little pricey, I would definitely come back again. I haven't had such good (and authentic) Indian food since I've been in Europe. And also I wanted to make a note about the service. There have been many reviews about bad service or something like that. Those waiters must have been replaced because the service we had was quite good. The waiter greeted us in Swedish, and when we asked him if he spoke English, he immediately began speaking English. He got us our water and our food in a timely fashion, and was nearby if we had needed anything else. It may be that we were in there at a less busy time, but I think the service was definitely not bad at all.

Come during the lunch rush, however, and it will likely be packed. Diners can choose from various entries or eat from the buffet, which (as I've been told) is relatively the same from day-to-day. What the actual foods are is a bit unclear if you don't speak Swedish, but nothing I had was bad. And everything in the restaurant is clearly labeled as to whether or not it's vegan, which is a huge plus. The pricing is acceptable (79 SEK, or $12, for the buffet) for Swedish standards. It's not a place I'd frequent on a regular basis, but it's worth going back to more than once. My meal was unique, tasty, and filling.

We were a group of 8 people, and despite ordering so much, everything came out in a timely fashion. I will say most of the dishes were on the mild and somewhat sweet side. Everything tasted fine but there were no major standouts; it wasn't as authentic as some Indian restaurants I've had outside of Sweden. It definitely kept me full and it was a decent try overall.

Nothing strongly spiced so someone will have to return to the office with heartburn. I had the tofu coconut red curry. Coffee or tea and cheap crispy cookies come with the meal too. Very standard fare for Swedish lunch places. A set menu of 3 choices for each day of the week. The food looks and tastes like any other Indian lunch restaurant, so much so that I think they all buy their sauces, chutney, etc from the same grossist and brand in a bottle. Lunch was ok, but dinner was better. The guy said it was because it takes longer to make the other dishes. We had variations of the small plate combos, 3, 4 and 5 in meat, combo, or vegetarian. 3 is plenty for 1, 4 is plenty for 2 and 5 should not be ordered by one person, it is too much food.

Creamed spinach, eggplant, chicken, shrimp, beef, squash, in curries, samosas, spreads, etc. It was all good but did take a long time. 40min for 1st dish to show up.
