Austur Indía Fjélagið
This is certainly Iceland's top Indian restaurant and the best non-European eatery in the land. The chefs combine the world-famous Icelandic lamb and wonderful local seafood with imported but fresh Indian herbs and spices. The atmosphere is pleasant and richly fragrant from the scents escaping the Tandoori oven. The salmon and the pepper lamb come highly recommended.
