Exploring Oslo? Add a Taste of India to Your Trip at Curry and Ketchup
Fjords, architecture, and a harbor skyline are reason enough to visit Oslo. But some of the best travel memories happen at a table. Here’s why a stop at Curry and Ketchup on Majorstuen belongs on your Oslo itinerary.
Oslo rewards visitors who wander. The waterfront at Bjørvika, the modern skyline rising behind the fjord, the neighborhoods that shift character block by block — it’s a city built for exploring on foot. But a trip is rarely just about what you see. It’s also about what you eat, and where you sit down after a long day of walking.
That’s where Curry and Ketchup comes in.
A Taste of India, Woven Into Your Oslo Journey
Curry and Ketchup has been part of Oslo’s food scene since 1994, serving Indian, Indo-Chinese, and Indo-Asian cuisine from Kirkeveien 51 on Majorstuen. For visitors exploring the city, it’s an easy and worthwhile detour — a five-minute walk from Majorstuen T-bane station, right in the middle of one of Oslo’s most walkable neighborhoods near Bogstadveien.
The idea is simple: whatever brought you to Oslo — the museums, the fjord cruises, the hiking trails just outside the city — a great meal becomes part of that memory too. This isn’t a tourist-trap version of Indian food. It’s the same kitchen, the same recipes, and the same standards the restaurant has held for three decades of serving locals.
Why Visitors Choose Curry and Ketchup
Everything made from scratch. No shortcuts, no pre-mixed spice blends, no frozen dough. Curries simmer for hours and naan is hand-baked in a tandoor oven — the kind of detail that separates a memorable meal from an average one.
A menu built for exploring, just like the city. The kitchen spans North Indian tandoori, Indo-Chinese street food, and Indo-Asian curries, so a table can order widely and taste across several culinary traditions in one sitting — a useful approach for visitors who may not get another chance to try Indian food during their trip.
Walking distance from the city’s west side. Located on Majorstuen, close to Bogstadveien and a short T-bane ride from central Oslo, it’s an easy stop to build into a day of sightseeing rather than a detour that eats up your itinerary.
A welcome that matches the food. Family-run since 1994, the restaurant treats every table — local or visiting — the same way: with care, and food made like it matters.
