Austur-Indíafjelagið

Winner of “Best Goddamn Restaurant” and “Best Indian” 2026. Riveting homage to Icelandic produce translated through Indian regional cuisine, creative, grounded in technique while highlighting not one but the best of two countries, a mean feat. Try the tandoor-grilled hariyali salmon cooked to a medium rare and you’ll see just what we mean. Grab a curry-leaf martini with the Kodava pepper fry, thank us later. Icelandic lamb and fish are right at home at this landmark restaurant. Austur-Indíafjelagið strikes a balance between clichéd Indian menu staples like Murgh Makhani redolent with kasoori methi and creamy tomato gravy, and showcasing regional specialities like the Cod Pollichathu, a banana leaf pan-steamed dish from Kerala bursting with slow-cooked onions and garlic. Don’t miss out on the special menus that honour hyper-local cuisines.
