Local tips
- Come slightly before the usual lunch or dinner rush to find the widest buffet selection and an easier time choosing a table in the busy mall setting.
- If you prefer lighter food, head first to the salad and fruit sections and build your plate there before adding just a spoon or two of the richer hot dishes.
- Use the pay‑by‑weight concept to your advantage: start with smaller portions of unfamiliar Thai curries so you can taste several without overfilling your plate.
- Families with children can combine fries, nuggets and simple salads on one plate, making it easy to satisfy picky eaters without needing a separate kids’ menu.
- For takeaway, pack sturdier items like rice, noodles and curries at the bottom of the box and top them with salads and crunchy toppings so they travel better.

A green buffet oasis in Jutland’s biggest mall
Step out of the mall’s bustle into D’let – Det Grønne Køkken, tucked along the bright indoor “streets” of Kolding Storcenter. Here the focus is less on formal dining and more on abundant choice: long buffet islands topped with steaming Thai curries, golden fried snacks and bowls of fresh, crisp vegetables. The setting is casual and unfussy, with practical tables and chairs arranged so families, solo shoppers and groups can settle in for an easy meal between stores. The restaurant’s concept is straightforward: you build your own plate or takeaway box, then pay by weight. This makes it as suitable for a light salad as for a hearty, piled‑high dinner, and it is particularly handy when appetites differ or time is short. Surrounded by more than a hundred other shops and eateries in Jutland’s largest shopping center, D’let stands out as a place where fast food and a focus on greens meet halfway.Buffet style: from Thai spices to comfort food classics
D’let’s signature is its broad buffet, typically advertised as seven large counters with around sixty different items at peak selection. One section showcases Thai‑inspired dishes: panang, red, yellow and massaman curries, stir‑fries with basil or chili, and meats in oyster or fish sauce. Nearby, trays of noodles, fried rice and jasmine rice create a base for mixing your own combination of sauces and toppings. Another stretch of the buffet leans into familiar European comfort food: roast meats, goulash, potato gratin, oven‑baked potatoes, rösti and garlic bread, alongside kid‑pleasing chicken nuggets, hot wings and skewers. This mix of Asian flavors and home‑style dishes makes it easy for cautious eaters and adventurous palates to share a table without compromise.Salad bar color and lighter options
Beyond the hot dishes, D’let lives up to its “green kitchen” name with an extensive salad bar. You can put together everything from a simple bowl of lettuce and tomatoes to a substantial meal of beans, grains and cheeses. Typical options include iceberg and mixed salads, broccoli and cauliflower mixes, spinach, tomatoes with pesto, red cabbage slaws, artichokes, edamame and green beans. To add texture and protein, there are toppings such as salad cheese cubes, mozzarella, chickpeas, cottage cheese mixes, nuts, seeds and dried fruit. A line of homemade dressings ranges from classic creamy garlic and dill‑spiked crème fraîche to curry dressings and spicy chili sauces. This side of the buffet suits guests looking for a fresher, lighter plate, or those wanting to balance a rich curry with something crunchy and raw.Snacks, sweet notes and flexible dining
The buffet is rounded out with small extras that make lingering over a meal easy: bowls of peanuts, sunflower seeds, chili nuts, croutons, cranberries, raisins and banana chips invite you to tweak flavor and crunch. Freshly cut fruit offers a simple, refreshing finish without needing a dedicated dessert menu. Drinks such as soft drinks, water and hot beverages are sold at fixed prices, complementing the pay‑by‑weight approach to food. D’let caters both to dine‑in guests and those wanting food on the go. Takeaway boxes can be filled directly from the same buffet, sealed and carried out into the mall or back home. The self‑service layout means you control both pace and portion size: a quick solo lunch can take minutes, while larger groups often use it as a relaxed base during a longer shopping outing.Practical details inside Kolding Storcenter
Located within Kolding Storcenter on Skovvangen 42, D’let benefits from the mall’s long opening window, generally serving lunch through to the evening every day. The shopping center environment brings practical advantages: plentiful shared restrooms, extensive parking around the complex and a wide choice of other activities, from fashion stores to a cinema, before or after you eat. Seating at D’let is informal and family‑oriented, with space to maneuver strollers and high chairs typically available. The flat, indoor setting and simple queuing system at the buffet make it accessible for most visitors. With its combination of Thai flavors, comforting hot dishes and generous salads, the restaurant works as a dependable, mid‑range food stop whether you are spending the entire day in Denmark’s Triangle Region hub or just passing through Kolding for a few hours.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
