Bindia Søborg

The newest member of the Bindia family

In September 2020, we opened the doors to a brand-new Bindia with room for both large and small groups, and with dedicated space where takeaway customers can comfortably wait for their order with a view of both our new open kitchen and Søborg Hovedgade.

At the other end of the restaurant, you will find the large, bright room reserved for our dine-in guests, also with a view of Søborg Hovedgade. Here you can sit in peace, away from the steam, noise, and movement that can happen in a busy restaurant kitchen handling both guest orders and many takeaway orders from the local area.

From Bindia in Søborg, we deliver to the following nearby areas:

Takeaway and dine-in

We are undoubtedly proud of the newest member of the Bindia chain, the beautiful takeaway and dine-in location in Søborg. It is the result of what happened exactly 17 years earlier, when we opened the very first Bindia in September 2003 at the end of Blegdamsvej, directly opposite Trianglen and the main entrance to Fælledparken.

We quickly welcomed many happy customers, who increasingly asked to take our Indian dishes home as takeaway. That success meant the Bindia shops we opened over the next 15 years focused on takeaway. As the Bindia chain expanded, we eventually had to move production and administration to suitable premises in Hvidovre in 2017.

To spread the Bindia concept further, we closed the first dedicated takeaway location with the aim of opening our two latest takeaway and dine-in locations: Amager in 2019 and then Søborg Hovedgade the following year. Shortly after the Søborg restaurant was completed, we streamlined our concept so all our locations now, in addition to making takeaway, offer guests the option of dine-in, meaning you can always stay and eat your food.

Because of its smart layout, the new Søborg location works perfectly for both takeaway and dine-in guests. Whether you are sitting in the small waiting area by the large open kitchen waiting for your takeaway, or you are seated with a larger group as a guest, you are always in large, bright rooms with a view of life on Søborg Hovedgade.

New additions

Today, the street is without doubt the main artery and number one shopping street in Gladsaxe Municipality, which, besides Søborg, includes inner Gladsaxe, Buddinge, and Mørkhøj. But it has not always been that way. Like Bindia on Søborg Hovedgade, Søborg is a relatively late addition to Copenhagen.

It is easy to imagine that Søborg existed as a village like its neighbours Mørkhøj, Buddinge, and Bagsværd. But until Søborg began to take shape at the beginning of the 20th century, people in the area were considered to live in Buddinge. The place was nothing more than fields and a few farms until it became part of larger urban development in the early 1900s.

Not long after the first villas were built, the first grocer appeared in 1906 on what we now know as Søborg Hovedgade. When Søborg Torv got a tram connection to Copenhagen in 1921, development really began to gather pace.

But it was not until five years later, in 1926, that Søborg Hovedgade got its current name. Until then, it had officially been part of Frederiksborgvej, which Christian IV originally built as the route to Frederiksborg Castle in Hillerød, but which in the early 20th century became Søborg, Buddinge, and Bagsværd Hovedgade.

Today, the town has grown so much that Søborg blends almost unnoticed into the rest of Copenhagen, while Søborg Hovedgade has become the commercial centre for the surrounding area. Despite the busy nature of the street, there are still places nearby where you can enjoy your takeaway from Bindia on Søborg Hovedgade when the weather allows.

Just a 10-minute walk away, where Frederiksborgvej meets Gladsaxevej and becomes Søborg Hovedgade, you will find the park area that turns into the nature area Utterslev Mose the farther south you move toward Utterslev and Brønshøj. This large wetland has rich birdlife and was protected in 2000 for the sake of the area’s biological life and the bog’s value as a recreational area.

Nothing wasted

Whether you want to take your takeaway into nature or stay and eat in our beautiful new rooms, we are ready every day from 16:00 to 21:00 at Søborg Hovedgade 57 with 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.
