This is Indian comfort food, the kind you crave again and again. Welcome to Dhaba at Nørrebro Street Food, serving crowd favorites straight from the Indian kitchen. We were invited.
The place
Dhaba is one of the stalls at Nørrebro Street Food on Lygten, and it leans fully into warmth, spice and the familiar favorites people come back for. In a food hall full of options, it is the comforting one, the stall you return to.
How it comes together
It starts with the naan: fresh dough slapped onto the wall of a blazing-hot tandoor oven, baked until fluffy inside and crisp at the edges, then brushed generously with garlic butter. Then warm basmati and gently simmered butter chicken, finished with toasted almond slivers, fresh coriander and a spoon of cooling coriander chutney. Golden vegetable samosas and soft-inside vegetable momos, served with coriander chutney and sweet, tangy tamarind. And chicken tikka masala, slowly simmered, bold, comforting and built for rice.
What we ate
Butter chicken rich, warm and comforting. Soft naan torn by hand for a messy bite soaked in sauce. Rice spooned with curry. Juicy momos dipped in tamarind. Crispy samosas, one more dip. Tikka masala, rice and curry, one last bite. All finished with a cool, refreshing mango lassi.
Who it is for
Being in a food hall makes it easy for a group: grab Indian comfort here while everyone else roams the other stalls, then meet at the table. Tear the naan and soak it in the sauce, that is the whole point.
