Indian Food Box: a taste of India in Iceland
A warm curry, a crisp samosa and the familiar aroma of spices can make a new place feel a little more like home. Indian Food Box brings that comfort to Iceland’s capital area.
Indian roots, an Icelandic home
Food is part of how we keep in touch with home and how we welcome people into our culture. For Indian travellers, a familiar meal can be a welcome pause between sightseeing days. For neighbours in Iceland, it can be a chance to discover a different combination of spices, textures and flavours.
That is the connection behind Indian Food Box. The restaurant is part of Abhishek’s life in Iceland alongside hospitality, cricket and the local Indian community. You can read more about that journey in the story behind this travel guide.
From samosa chaat to a comforting curry
Samosa chaat brings together contrasting textures: crisp pastry, soft fillings, sauces and a crunchy topping. The photograph above shows Indian Food Box’s own dish, rather than a stock image of a different restaurant’s food.
For a fuller meal, explore the restaurant’s current curry and vegetarian choices. Butter chicken, dal and paratha offer different ways to build a meal around warming Indian flavours. A mango lassi adds a cool, fruity finish. Availability and menus can vary between locations, so choose your branch before ordering.
If you have an allergy or a dietary requirement, ask the team about the exact dish and its preparation before ordering. A vegetarian dish is not automatically vegan, and sauces or toppings can change what a meal contains.

Make food part of the plan
It helps to think about meals before a long sightseeing day, particularly when travelling with children or people with specific food requirements. Leave time for dinner, and avoid assuming that a familiar restaurant will be close to every attraction outside the capital area.
