Three Indian friends with a hospitality background missed classic homestyle Indian food in Iceland —
the kind we grew up with. The best way to fix that was to cook it ourselves. In October 2020 we formed
Indian Food Factory; our restaurant is called Indian Food Box.
We bought a small place at Langirimi 21, Reykjavík, took brave bank loans, spent our
savings on equipment, and started cooking from our 100-year-old grandma’s recipes,
adding a light Icelandic touch (and a little spice).
We keep a small menu and obsess over details. Every dish is cooked
with family spices imported from India. We also offer pickup, catering, and takeaway.
Our mission with Indian Food Box is to help people
experience the taste of Indian home food — and that will always be our goal.
