Bindia Frederiksberg

Healthy and delicious Indian takeaway in the heart of Frederiksberg

Bindia on Gammel Kongevej is our second-oldest Indian takeaway in Copenhagen, surpassed only by our restaurant at Trianglen from 2003.

The location was purchased in 2007, but due to the success we experienced at our large restaurant at Trianglen and our then takeaway spot on HC Ørstedvej, we didn't have the time or opportunity to properly open the location until 2009. For the following years, the premises in Frederiksberg also served as our central kitchen, until our wholesale kitchen in Hvidovre was taken into use in 2017.

Bindia on Gammel Kongevej is mostly used by local Frederiksberg residents as a takeaway spot, but with around 10 seats, there is also room for you to sit down and enjoy our popular Butter Chicken or one of our Indian vegetarian and vegan dishes, while observing the bustling life on one of the city's most iconic streets.

Our location on Gammel Kongevej had a prominent supporting role in 2021 in the final episode of season 8 of the comedy series Klovn, starring Frank Hvam and Casper Christensen. Most of the series has always taken place in and around this historic and well-known shopping street in Frederiksberg, and in season 8 it was Bindia's turn to be part of the story as Frank's favorite spot for Indian takeaway and catering in Frederiksberg. Take a virtual tour of our Bindia on Gammel Kongevej here.

The history of Gammel Kongevej in Frederiksberg

Gammel Kongevej, presumably the oldest road in Frederiksberg, today stretches from Frederiksberg Town Hall, about 500 metres from Bindia's Indian takeaway and dine-in, down past the southernmost part of the Lakes at Sankt Jørgens Sø and the Planetarium.

The street's current length is, however, only a fraction of what it was in its early years. Back then, it continued out along the stretches we know today as Smallegade and Peter Bangs Vej, past Damhussøen and on towards Roskilde. This is the reason you may come across the name Roskildegaden from the beginning of the 1600s.

Only later that same century did the road become known as Kongevejen (the King's Road) or Ny Kongevej (New King's Road), as it was reserved as the royal route out of the city. At that time, the title Gammel Kongevej (Old King's Road) actually referred to the stretch from Peblinge Sø and Sankt Jørgens Sø to the then-village of Islev, which today we know as Rosenørns Alle, Rolighedsvej and Godthåbsvej.

It is on this historic street, in the midst of all the life and commerce in Frederiksberg, that you today find Bindia's Indian takeaway and dine-in.

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

Frederiksberg's iconic shopping street and Bindia's place in history

It wasn't until 1705, when King Frederik IV laid out what we today know as Frederiksberg Allé as his private road to his royal garden – today known as Frederiksberg Have – that Gammel Kongevej got its current name and was at the same time opened for civilian traffic.

However, it was still far from the shopping street we know today. The road was mostly deserted and difficult to travel, in part because until 1852 it was illegal to build larger houses in the area, as the authorities wanted to be better able to defend the Copenhagen that lay within the lakes and ramparts. It wasn't until the military protection zones were lifted in 1852 that Gammel Kongevej began to take shape.

First, large villas were built – often with room for several families – but soon proper apartment buildings began to rise along Gammel Kongevej, which due to the building boom also gained many small side streets. It wasn't until the end of the 19th century, however, that the road began to take the form we know today, as many villas were demolished to make way for more apartment buildings.

As shop premises were established in almost every ground floor at the same time, one of Copenhagen's busiest and most iconic shopping streets was born – and we are proud that Bindia Indian takeaway and dine-in has been part of the street's commercial life and history since 2009.

At Bindia in Frederiksberg, we continue the tradition of quality on Gammel Kongevej – with authentic Indian food made the Bindia way.
