The Curry Heaven — Restaurant in Stavanger

I got their mango chicken and my friend got the chicken biryani. The mango chicken was very similar to butter chicken, but the sauce was more sweet. It was tasty and everything was well cooked.

I also tried my friends biryani, and I can say with confidence that it was not an authentic chicken biryani, not in taste or in appearance. It seemed to be cooked like a pilao. The rice had the same uniform color, so it was likely not cooked in layers with the chicken. They had also made the chicken biryani on the spicier side as well and did not seem to have a less spicy biryani. On the positive side it did seen the biryani was cooked to order and not reheated.

I also did find their butter salmon and salmon Tikka on menu interesting, would go back their to try...

We saw the reviews and thought this was a great place to get some delicious Indian food. The food was kind of tasteless, it looked great but while eating I just thought something is missing. What I missed most was the tender chicken in the Butter Chicken which usually simmers in the sauce for a long time. Here it was just chicken from the skewer that was put in the sauce shortly before serving the meal. What was delicious though was the Mango Lassi.

And the atmosphere was just kind of missing at all, it was just quiet, some plastic plants and thats it. It did not let us feel welcome and warm. The whole restaurant did seem very clean though, from kitchen to table and floor, that was what left...

Very good food for an affordable price. A solid lunch for 149kr is hard to beat. There could have been a bit more fresh vegetables as a complimentary side to balance out the meal (I got some lettuce and such with my pakora, not sure if I would have gotten them if I'd just gone for a main meal?) The atmosphere is informal and laid-back, so maybe not where I would celebrate a 10 year anniversary, but definitely a pleasant vibe. The place serves alcohol for those who want that, but I believe the food is halal (saw a halal sticker in the door at least..). It was a bit strange that the music was just the radio, I did not expect to hear an ad for McDonalds in the middle...
