Best Indian food in Gothenburg
Growing up in Birmingham, home of the Balti, I love Indian cuisine. And with a growing number of Indians moving to Gothenburg, there is an increasing demand in the city for an authentic taste of India. Here are some hot tips for getting your curry-fix in the best Indian restaurants in Gothenburg.
Okay, so the first thing to note is: the average Swede has slightly sensitive taste buds when it comes to their definition of “spicy”. What is considered hot here would be considered pretty mild by taste buds more accustomed to Indian cuisine. So while the curries served to use quality, fresh ingredients they often go easy on the spice. That’s not a criticism, but bear it in mind when ordering.
Tre Indier
This place is well-known for serving some of the most authentic Indian food in Gothenburg. Located on Skanstorget, the restaurant also has a popular lunch menu as well as take-away service.
Dawaat
Found on Första Långgatan, with some of Gothenburg’s best beer served nearby, Dawaat has great character in terms of its interior decor and food. Also lots of options for vegetarians.
Bombay Street
With a contemporary interior design, Bombay Street has a decor as vibrant as its food. A wide menu ticks all the boxes, including a good number of vegetarian and vegan options. Flavoursome and excellent attention to detail. If you’re walking down Södra Vägen (77), don't let this one pass you by! One of our favourites.
Bollywood Masala
Given the fiery reputation of Indian food, this restaurant is appropriately located at Bangatan 8. Located near Stigbergstorget in hipster Majorna, Bollywood Masala serves tasty curries in a welcoming atmosphere. You’ll also find outside seating if you’re after an alfresco curry.
Bombay
Like the aforementioned Dawaat, Bombay is conveniently located on Andra Långgatan, a street filled with good pubs and bars. Very reasonably priced, it is always worth asking the waiter what they would recommend.
Spice Room
Indian fine dining where traditional flavours are served in an innovative, creative and modern packaging. The spices are fresh, the flavours delicious and each dish feels carefully thought out.
Indish Streetfood also has you covered if you want to throw an Indian-style dinner party at home. Their selection of 4 classic Indian street food dishes comes with a sophisticated touch, a perfect option to share with friends in the comfort of your own place.
