This place is packed daily in winter for their famous lutefisk.
Curry and Ketchup Indian Restaurant is filled with in-the-know locals
enjoying tasty and hearty meals for about 100 kr. This happening place re-
quires no reservations and feels like an Indian market. If you want a reason-
able Indian meal in Oslo, this is hard to beat (daily 14:00-23:00, cash only, a
5-minute walk from gate of Vigeland statue garden, tram #12, in Majorstuen
at Kirkeveien 51, tel. [phone]).
Trendy Dining at the Bottom of Grünerløkka
(See “Grünerløkka/Grønland Area” map, here .)
Südøst Asian Crossover Restaurant, once a big bank, now fills its vault
with wine (which makes sense, given Norwegian alcohol prices). Today it's
popular with young Norwegian professionals as a place to see and be seen.

and a big riverside terrace outdoors with a more casual menu. Diners enjoy
its chic setting, smart service, and Asian fusion cuisine (Mon-Fri 16:00-1:00
in the morning, Sat 13:00-3:00 in the morning, Sun 13:00-22:00, also serves
lunch in summer, at bottom of Grünerløkka, tram #17 to Trondheimsveien 5,

Eating Cheap and Spicy in Grønland
(See “Grünerløkka/Grønland Area” map, here .)
The street called Grønland leads through this colorful immigrant neighbor-
hood (a short walk behind the train station or T-bane: Grønland). After the
cleanliness and orderliness of the rest of the city, the rough edges and di-
versity of people here can feel like a breath of fresh air. Whether you eat here
or not, the street is fun to explore. In Grønland, backpackers and immigrants
munch street food for dinner. Cheap and tasty börek (feta, spinach, mush-
room) is sold hot and greasy to go for 25 kr.
Punjab Tandoori is friendly and serves hearty meals (lamb and chicken
curry, tandoori specials) for 70 kr. They're open late when other places aren't.
