There is not always time to sit down. Sometimes the food should simply come to you, to your home, to the office or onto the sofa for the evening. We are there for you then too. At India4U you can order Indian cuisine in Bern conveniently as takeaway to collect or as a delivery, with the same freshness and care as here in the restaurant. In this article we show you how ordering works, what travels particularly well and how you can get the very best out of your order.

How to Order at India4U

Ordering should be uncomplicated. You choose your dishes from our menu and decide whether you would like to collect the food yourself or have it delivered. Both are possible, entirely to suit your day. If you would like to look through the dishes in peace beforehand, you will find everything on our menu.

Every order is freshly prepared, exactly like a dish in the restaurant. Nothing stands ready for long, everything comes fresh from the kitchen. That way you have the same experience at home or in the office as you would at our table, just wherever you happen to be.

Takeaway or Delivery: What Suits When

Both routes have their appeal. The choice depends on your day. Takeaway is ideal when you are nearby anyway or pass by on your way home. You collect your food fresh and enjoy it shortly afterwards, wherever you like. Because we are centrally located at Belpstrasse 11, just a few minutes’ walk from the station, the detour is quickly made.

Delivery brings Indian cuisine straight to your home or office. That works well when you want to save the journey, when several of you are sitting together or when you are simply planning a cosy evening. That way the restaurant comes to you, entirely without effort.

What Travels Particularly Well

Not every dish tastes the same on the way, yet Indian cuisine is made for it. Curries with their sauce stay lovely and juicy and are best enjoyed at home with rice or naan. A biryani is a whole meal in itself and reaches you full of aroma. Fresh naan, a cooling raita and crunchy sides go perfectly alongside.

This selection has proven itself for an order:

• A creamy curry such as Butter Chicken, mild and popular, ideal for the whole group.
• A fragrant biryani that keeps its full aroma even on the way.
• Fresh naan and rice, to soak up the sauces.
• A vegetarian side such as a dal made from lentils.
• A raita that pleasantly balances out the warm spices.

If you are still looking for ideas, you will find an overview among the most popular Indian curries and with biryani from Bern.

The Lunch Box for a Quick Break

At midday things often need to be quick. That is what our lunch box is for, the same Indian variety, just to take away. The Vegi Box with vegetables, lentils, basmati rice, naan bread, Vegi Pakoda, papadam and salad is available for CHF 13.90. If you would like meat, choose the meat box with chicken, lamb or fish for CHF 15.90. For pupils the takeaway box is CHF 2.90 cheaper for students.

That way you get through your lunch break quickly, affordably and freshly, whether in the office, on the go or at school. You can read more about our lunchtime offer in our article on the Indian lunch buffet in Bern.

Fresh and Halal, Even to Take Away

Nothing changes about our kitchen, whether you eat with us or order. Our entire range is halal-certified, and there is also a large vegetarian and vegan selection. That way every order finds the right dish, without any lengthy sorting out. Fresh ingredients and careful preparation are always part of it with us.

And if you would like to experience the food in full one day, when the naan comes fresh from the oven and several dishes stand sociably in the middle of the table, then you are warmly welcome with us in the restaurant. Some aromas unfold a touch more beautifully on the spot.

How to Enjoy Your Food at Home at Its Best

So that your food tastes just as good at home as it does with us, a few small tricks are worth it. Curries release their aroma best when you warm them gently and not too hot. A dash of water keeps the sauce nicely smooth in the process. Rice becomes fluffy again when you warm it briefly covered, so that it does not dry out.

Naan tastes best fresh, and a brief moment in the pan or in the oven brings the warmth back. Arrange the dishes in the middle of the table and share, and the food at home becomes a sociable moment too. A cooling raita and a lassi alongside, and you bring the restaurant feeling into your own four walls.

Ordering for an Evening with Guests

An order works wonderfully when guests are coming. Instead of standing in the kitchen for hours yourself, you put together a large, colourful selection and let everyone taste along. Indian cuisine lives on exactly that, sharing several dishes, from mild curries through tandoori to biryani.

For larger groups it is worth mixing different heat levels and a few vegetarian dishes, so that there is something for every taste. That way the evening at home turns into a small feast, entirely without effort. Simply tell us for how many you are planning, and we will gladly help you put it together.

Ordering Vegetarian and Vegan

Anyone who eats vegetarian or vegan has plenty of choice with an order. A large part of Indian cuisine is naturally plant-based, from lentil dishes through paneer to aromatic vegetable curries. These dishes travel superbly and taste just as fine at home as they do with us.

If you eat vegan, it is best to ask us briefly, and we will show you the suitable dishes. That way every order finds the right thing, without compromise. You will find further ideas among our vegetarian Indian classics.

What Makes a Good Takeaway

A takeaway is only as good as what arrives with you. What matters is freshness. With us every order is freshly prepared and not kept warm for long, so that you experience the same aroma at home as in the restaurant. Just as important is careful packaging, so that sauce, rice and bread stay separate and everything reaches you well.

The selection also makes the difference. From mild to robust curries, from meat to purely plant-based, from rice to fresh naan, you will find everything to put together your meal entirely as you wish. Where the cooking is done with good ingredients and experience, you taste it on the plate, whether at the table or at home. That is exactly what we value, with every order.

Ordering for the Office and the Lunch Break

At midday there is often little time. And yet the food should be fine. An order to the office solves that elegantly. You choose in advance, collect the lunch box or have it delivered. Then you enjoy in peace, without queuing for long. The lunch break becomes a small moment for yourself, right in the middle of the working day.

An order also suits the whole team. Everyone chooses what they like, from mild to robust dishes, from meat to purely plant-based. Because a lot of it is easy to share, everyone comes through the afternoon full and content. Simply tell us for how many you are planning, and we will prepare everything fresh.

Your Order, Entirely to Suit Your Day

Whether a quick lunch, a cosy evening or a spontaneous hunger in between, an order adapts to your day. You decide when and where you would like to enjoy it, and we take care of the rest. Freshly prepared, carefully packed and ready for the way to you.

That way we bring the variety of Indian cuisine exactly to where you need it right now. To your home, to the office or on the go, with the same quality as at our table.
