The Indian Shehnai — Restaurant in Frederiksberg Municipality

The staff is friendly, but thats about it.

The food is not authentic and did not taste as it should. Let me explain!

We ordered chicken karahi, lamb karhai, pakora, samosa, naan, mango lassi.

Both karhai dishes were not what they should be. If you know your indian/pakistani food then you will know. It was just some random sauce mixed with meat. See photos.

Naan bread was more like a greek flat bread. They should buy naan from another vendor if they dont have a proper setup to make naan.

Rice were fine.

Pakoras were flash fried and had a burnt taste. Samosa were cold from inside.

Mango lassi was fine. I dont want to critise it but it could be a little bit more thick.

All in all, avoid!

Maybe there butter chicken is better because that's what most people eat. We wanted to try something different and left...

My advice is to check your bill before leaving. The food was nice and came with a friendly service, but unfortunately ruined by what appears to be charged double the amount that I should have been paying. I know that I should have checked it before paying, but they confirmed what I had had and I agreed in terms of the number of items and just tapped my phone for payment. However upon receiving a notification on my phone of the cost, that is when I realised that I'd been overcharged. The bill should have come to no more than 160 DKK, but I was charged 313 DKK for one butter chicken, rice...

This isn't a particularly atmospheric restaurant (prices don't line up with décor) so I recommend doing a takeaway or delivery. Our food took about an hour to be ready, when we were told 40 minutes - they gave us a free drink and naan to compensate. The good news is... The food is absolutely delicious!! Extremely buttery, yummy naan and butter paneer / saag paneer. Portion sizes big enough to have leftovers for tomorrow night. If you want to eat from here, I recommend you order delivery...
