Bindia Nørrebro

Welcome to Bindia in Nørrebro

Tucked between the district’s main artery Nørrebrogade on one side and Skt. Hans Torv on the other, you will find the small, cosy, and in its own way busy shopping street Elmegade. Close to the intersection of Elmegade, Stengade, and Nørrebrogade you will find our Nørrebro shop; a small and welcoming place that we opened in 2010, and which has served Indian takeaway ever since to locals and visitors who come to inner Nørrebro to enjoy our familiar takeaway together with the life and culture of the neighbourhood.

So if you are in the evening sun on Dronning Louises Bro or Skt. Hans Torv and looking for something healthy and nourishing to take away, you are only a short walk from Bindia in Elmegade, where you get organic Indian food made with fresh ingredients and inspired by the Punjab region and Ayurvedic principles.

Elmegade

In a former organic bakery called Det Gode Brød, we opened another Bindia in 2010. The shop in Elmegade is small but cosy, with a view of Nørrebro’s diverse street life. As in all our other shops, Elmegade offers dine-in, which means you can enjoy your Butter Chicken, Dal, or one of our vegetarian and vegan dishes in the shop. The window seat is especially good for enjoying our Indian food while watching life in the cosy and ever-changing Elmegade pass by. Take a tour of Bindia in Elmegade here.

In 2018, the street underwent a major renovation of the roadway, cycle lane, and pavement. Among other things, the pavement became wider, creating more life between the street’s bars, takeaway places, and small shops. That is why, during the summer, we place chairs and tables outside for you to use. Like all our other shops, Bindia in Elmegade is open all year from 16:00 to 21:00, except on 24 December and 31 December.

A quiet place to eat?

Because the shop is one of our smaller locations, it has primarily been used as a takeaway spot since it opened in 2010; and from our shop in Nørrebro there are many places nearby where you can enjoy our delicious Indian takeaway.

For example, you can walk up to Skt. Hans Torv, where Copenhagen café life still dominates in its own relaxed way. You can enjoy our takeaway on a bench in the small park between the square and Sankt Johannes Church on the corner of Blegdamsvej and Nørre Allé. If you want to get farther away from the traffic, you are only a short walk from the always calm De Gamles By, a quiet oasis between Tagensvej, Guldbergsgade, and Møllegade.

The area’s most popular breathing space, where Nørrebro locals like to enjoy each other’s company and their takeaway, is probably the beautiful Assistens Cemetery, built in 1760. Here you can explore and look for a cosy clearing in the 20-hectare green space, which also became the final resting place for some of Denmark’s great cultural figures, including writers H.C. Andersen and Martin Andersen Nexø, theologian Søren Kierkegaard, physicists Niels Bohr and H.C. Ørsted, and more recent musical names such as Natasja Saad, Ben Webster, Etta Cameron, Thomas Koppel, and Morten Lindberg, better known as Master Fatman.

City life

If you want more life with your Indian takeaway, you can sit on Dronning Louises Bro, which connects Nørrebro with the inner city and in the summer months becomes a meeting point for a wide range of Copenhageners who come to enjoy the sun and a beer with their takeaway, or simply to talk, dance, and celebrate into the bright morning. From Dronning Louises Bro, it is also not far to the area’s many cosy bars and nightlife in streets such as Ravnsborggade and Blågårdsgade.

There is a reason the British culture magazine Time Out named Nørrebro the world’s coolest neighbourhood in 2021; there are many places to discover here, and Bindia is right in the heart of it all.

Nothing wasted

Whatever brings you to Nørrebro, we are ready in Elmegade to serve you the best dishes from the Indian kitchen, made the Bindia way.

We serve generous, healthy portions that are also well suited to being refrigerated and reheated. Read our recommendation for how best to reheat our takeaway here.

The traditional methods of the Indian kitchen, which we proudly carry forward at Bindia, give the food a natural and sustainable shelf life and help you reduce food waste together with us.

A real Indian curry takes time to make, because it needs to simmer throughout the day. The very last part of the cooking is done only after we receive your order, and we never use more than what you get.

At Bindia, we actually have so little food waste that the food-waste movement Too Good To Go found it unnecessary to include us on their app and platform, despite a signed cooperation agreement.

More sustainable takeaway

Since 2015, we have held the Organic Cuisine Label, because we were the first Indian kitchen in Scandinavia to focus on organic ingredients and sustainability. We also cook without preservatives, additives, colourings, or deep frying.

We are committed to becoming even greener, and in 2020 we decided to make our packaging more environmentally friendly. Our carrier bags, menus, and takeaway bowls are now made from 100% recycled, unbleached paper. Bags and menus can be sorted as paper, though we recommend reusing the bag as much as possible first. To make the bowls able to handle hot liquid food, a thin plastic coating on the inside is necessary. Bowls and their lids should therefore be sorted as ordinary household waste.

That means you can enjoy some of the country’s best Indian takeaway with a clear conscience.
