Local tips
- Plan your visit for the evening; the restaurant opens from late afternoon and is best suited to dinner rather than lunch.
- If you prefer milder food, ask staff to reduce the chilli level, as some curries can be notably spicy for Scandinavian tastes.
- Consider ordering a mix of curries, naan and rice to share, as portions are generous and well suited to family-style eating.
- Use takeaway if seating looks busy; the menu is well adapted for eating back at your accommodation.
- Bring a payment card or MobilePay, which are widely accepted and make settling the bill quick and easy.

Spice-Scented Evenings on Låsbygade
Step in from the cobbled stretch of Låsbygade and you are met by a wave of warm spice, the aroma of ginger, garlic and slow-simmered curry drifting from the open kitchen. Desi Indian Taste sits at street level in a traditional Kolding building, bringing a slice of the Indian subcontinent to this compact Danish city. The space is informal and unfussy, designed more for comfort than ceremony, with simple tables and the soft hum of takeaway orders being packed at the counter. The restaurant keeps evening-focused hours, opening from late afternoon into the night, so it naturally becomes a go-to choice when the day’s exploring is done and hunger sets in. The setting suits small groups, couples and solo diners who want a straightforward, flavourful meal without formality.Flavours Rooted in India and Pakistan
The menu draws from both Indian and Pakistani cooking, with a long list of curries, tandoori dishes and vegetarian options. You will find familiar favourites such as butter chicken, tikka masala and rich lamb curries simmered in tomato, cream and spices, alongside lentil dal, chickpea-based chana masala and mixed vegetable dishes that make it easy to eat meat-free. Starters often lean towards street-food style snacks: crisp vegetable samosas, pappadams with chutneys and onion salads that wake up the palate. Biryani rice dishes, subtly perfumed with cardamom and cloves, offer a one-plate option that still feels generous. Portions tend to be substantial, designed to satisfy on a chilly Danish evening when comfort food is what you are after.Halal Kitchen and Local Comforts
Desi Indian Taste identifies as both an Indian and Pakistani restaurant and works as a halal dining option in Kolding, which makes it a convenient choice for travellers with specific dietary requirements. Many dishes are prepared without pork and with attention to halal sourcing, while dairy-rich sauces and creamy lassis appeal to those who enjoy indulgent North Indian flavours. Despite its South Asian roots, the restaurant feels very much part of the local neighbourhood. Payment is straightforward with common Danish methods, and the team is used to explaining spice levels and recommending milder or hotter preparations. It functions as a local standby for a comforting, sauce-laden curry with plenty of naan on the side.Takeaway Culture and Easy Dining
The layout, with a visible counter and steady flow of delivery bags, reflects how important takeaway is to the restaurant’s identity. Many guests call ahead or order online for collection, picking up family-sized spreads of curries, rice and bread to share back at their hotel or apartment. This makes the place particularly handy if you prefer to dine informally or are travelling with a group. If you choose to eat in, expect a relaxed rhythm rather than lingering fine dining. Food usually arrives promptly, still sizzling from the pan or tandoor, and the atmosphere is unpretentious – more weeknight dinner than special-occasion outing, though a table by the window can feel pleasantly cosy on darker winter evenings.A Useful Stop in Central Kolding
Located close to Kolding’s centre, Desi Indian Taste works well as part of a broader evening in town. It is easy to pair a visit with a stroll past the old streets or a walk from nearby cultural sights before settling in for a curry. With daily evening opening hours, it fills a practical niche: spicy, familiar comfort food served in a straightforward setting, right when you are most likely to be looking for dinner. Whether you are craving something fiery after a day in the Danish weather or simply want a reliable halal-friendly option, this small restaurant offers a convenient, flavour-forward pause in the middle of Kolding.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
