From royal road to shopping street
Lyngby Hovedgade, which in 1888 became the first street in Denmark with electric lighting, is a street full of both life and Danish history.
Originally, the street was part of the large historic Kongevej from 1584, which ran from Copenhagen to Frederiksborg Castle. You can still see that history today in the way Lyngby Hovedgade changes name to Kongevejen by Sorgenfri Palace.
Curious visitors can find several historic and listed buildings on and around Lyngby Hovedgade, including the two old watermills Nordre Mølle and Søndre Mølle, which together made up Lyngby Mølle and are most likely even older than Kongevejen.
Today the street is used in a completely different way, and you especially see many shopping pedestrians around the many small shops in the street. This is because a local plan from 1982 aimed to protect the part of Lyngby Hovedgade where Bindia is located for small retailers, and therefore prohibited larger industry, banks, and offices, among other things. The street’s cosy and distinctive look came from the extensive cobbling carried out between 1996 and 1998.
Today, much of North Zealand meets here to shop for big and small things in one of the street’s many small specialist shops, or in Magasin and Lyngby Storcenter just around the corner on Klampenborgvej.
Bindia’s takeaway and dine-in fits perfectly on Lyngby Hovedgade, a historic and distinctive shopping street that invites you to slow down and enjoy our good food.
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. Bowls and their lids should be sorted as ordinary household waste.
That means you can enjoy some of the country’s best Indian takeaway with a clear conscience.
