I ate twice from this restaurant and their curries were so yummy. The curries are a little different from ykr Indian food I am used too. They are a little sweeter and creamier. I heard from an Indian friend that this restaurant serves authentic punjabi food.

You can get three courses for kr 300, which I thought for Norway was very reasonable. Nan and drinks are not included, but still. I got the samosas as a starter. They were a little spicy and SUPER delicious. For the main course, I got the garlic chicken. The chicken was moist and yummy. The rice was perfect. For dessert, I got the apple pie, which was also very good and tasted homemade, unlike most desserts in Oslo. The garlic nan was garlicky, and buttery and I could have easily just eat that for dinner and been happy. For the three courses, a large piece of naan, and a coke, I paid 386, so I was impressed with the price. The service was also very good, prompt and friendly. I am looking forward to the next time I find someone that will go here with me.

I mean afterall it's in the most touristy street in Oslo, but when my friend and I were looking for a dinner place near the Opera, we decided to come here. I was pleasantly surprised; the restaurant is big, the service friendly, and my palak paneer delicious (albeit of course at typical Norwegian prices). I miss the days when I used to pay 10 dollars for a full on Indian lunch buffet.

There were other closer restaurants in this Theater District part of Oslo, but she was fairly dismissive of some of what we asked about. Yet, we got good directions down Karl Johan Gate and after a short walk and ascent to the 2nd Floor, we arrived a Jaipur. We were seated and waited on promptly. Looking around the room, we were probably in the minority as far as tourists go. That was great as the locals/ethnic buzz in the room added well to our experience. Our food was very tasty and with generous portions. Dining out in Oslo is expensive, with food, drinks, and tip easily reaching $100 per couple. And we did get our money's worth, although maybe we should have been more adventurous with our Tikka/Curry menu choices (with Naan and Indian beer or course). Service was attentive and payment was up front. As a good meal in a new city goes, Jaipur was a solid authentic Indian choice. But, if you want more local Norwegian cuisine experience, try the nearby Elias Mat Sant.
