New Anarkali

The Spis take

A long-running, family-run Indian that many Oslo diners hold up as the city's best — a proper mom-and-pop room with carved screens, warm service and generous cooking. The butter chicken, lamb dishes and garlic naan are the crowd favourites; prices sit a touch above the neighbourhood's fast-food norm but the food and hospitality earn it. If you want dependable, comforting Indian with genuine heart, this is a safe bet.
