Indigo, Indian restaurant in Budapest, Hungary
Indigo is an Indian restaurant in Budapest, serving dishes from several regions of the subcontinent under one roof. The dining room is decorated in vanilla and aubergine tones, with paintings and statues on an Indian theme, and background music that matches the setting.
The restaurant opened in 2005 near Nyugati Train Station, at a time when Indian food was still a novelty in Budapest. A second location followed in Buda about a decade later, on the other side of the Danube.
The menu draws from several parts of India, with dishes like Goan fish preparations and Punjabi-style chicken cooked in traditional ways. Vegetarian options are also available throughout the menu, reflecting how central plant-based cooking is to everyday Indian food culture.
The restaurant is centrally located in Pest, close to Nyugati Train Station, and easy to reach on foot or by public transport. A delivery service covers the whole city if you prefer to eat at home or at your accommodation.
One of the dishes that stands out on the menu is the Tricolor Platter, which features chicken kebabs in three versions colored red, green, and white, served on a sizzling plate with caramelized onions. The three colors mirror the Indian national flag, giving the dish a meaning that goes beyond the food itself.
