Austur Indíafélagið

Laugavegur & Skólavörðustígur


The aromas wafting from the northernmost Indian restaurant in the world draw you inside to find a refined, upmarket experience, with a choice of sublime dishes (a favourite: tandoori salmon). It's all achieved without any pretension – the atmosphere is relaxed and the service warm.
