A good business lunch has to get three things right. It should be quick, it should taste good and it should give you a setting where you can talk in peace. That is exactly what you will find at India4U on Belpstrasse in Bern, just a few minutes’ walk from the station. Whether it is a client meeting, a team lunch or a well-earned break in your working day, our Indian business lunch in Bern brings variety and pace together. In this article we show you why India4U is a good fit for lunch with colleagues and business partners, what we offer and how best to plan your lunch.

Business Lunch in Bern, Right by the Station

When you head out for a business lunch, time is usually short. That makes the location all the more important. India4U is at Belpstrasse 11, central and just a few minutes’ walk from Bern station. Your guests can get here easily by train, by tram or on foot from the office, with no long journey. That leaves more time for what really matters: the conversation and the food.

Our central location makes us a handy address for anyone who works in town. Instead of eating at your desk, treat yourself and your guests to a short change of scene that clears the head. You can read more about getting here and the surrounding area in our article on Indian food near Bern station.

Quick, but Never Rushed

A business lunch depends on the right pace. You want to eat well during your lunch break without eating into the afternoon. We are prepared for that. Just let us know when you arrive that you are short on time, and we will make sure your food is on the table promptly. Many of our dishes are prepared so that they can be served fresh and still quickly.

Quick never means careless with us. Every portion comes fresh from the kitchen, with the same spices and the same care as in the evening. That way you combine the calm of a proper restaurant visit with the efficiency a working day demands. Your guests will feel that you have thought of everything, and you will be back at the office relaxed and on time.

Our Lunchtime Offer for Your Business Lunch

For lunch we have offers that suit a business setting perfectly. On weekdays our Indian lunch buffet offers a wide selection at a set price, ideal when several people with different tastes sit down together. Everyone helps themselves as they please and works their way through the variety, without having to study the menu for long. You will find the details in our article on the Indian lunch buffet in Bern.

If you prefer something more compact, choose our lunch box. It comes as a Vegi Box with vegetables, lentils, basmati rice, naan bread and sides, or as a meat box with chicken, lamb or fish. It is a good fit when things need to be quick or when you would like to take your food back to the office. This selection has proven itself for a business lunch:

• The lunch buffet for groups where everyone fancies something different.
• The lunch box for a quick, compact lunch at the table or on the go.
• A curry with rice or naan as a classic, filling lunch.
• A vegetarian or vegan option for mixed teams.

That way you will find the right format for every situation, from a quick solo lunch to a meal with the whole department.

The Right Setting for Client Meetings

A client lunch needs more than good food. It needs an atmosphere where you can hear each other and talk in peace. At India4U you sit in a well-kept setting that leaves room for conversation, without having to compete with the noise. That creates the right mood for negotiations, for getting to know someone for the first time or for thanking a long-standing partner.

Indian cuisine even helps. Because many dishes are made for sharing, an open, sociable mood quickly settles over your table. Tasting together loosens up the conversation and breaks the ice. A plain business meal becomes a moment your guests will be glad to remember.

A Business Lunch for the Whole Team

It is not always about two people. Often you want to eat with the whole team, celebrate a project or host a guest from another city. We are there for larger groups too. Let us know in advance how many people you are planning for, and we will keep a suitable table ready and prepare everything so that lunch runs smoothly.

With mixed teams in particular, Indian cuisine plays to its strengths. Some eat vegetarian or vegan, others like meat, and others again look for halal. With us everyone finds something that suits them, without compromise. Our entire range is halal-certified, and there is also a large plant-based selection. That way nobody is left with a bland fallback dish, and the lunch break becomes a good moment for everyone.

Invoice, Receipt and a Smooth Process

A business meal often comes with a little paperwork. You need a receipt for your expenses or an invoice made out to your company. That is no problem with us. Just let us know, and you will receive your receipt exactly the way you need it. Paying is straightforward too, whether by card, TWINT or cash.

That way everything runs without friction. You book, you enjoy your meal and you head back to work with the right receipt. These little things make all the difference when a lunch needs to fit seamlessly into a busy working day.

Delivered to Your Office Instead

Sometimes the break simply cannot leave the building, because one meeting follows the next. Even then you do not have to go without good food. Order your business lunch as takeaway or have it delivered to your office. That way the variety of Indian cuisine comes to you, and the team eats together without changing location.

You can read how ordering works and what travels particularly well in our article on ordering Indian food in Bern. When planning for a team, it is worth mixing a few mild and a few more robust dishes, so there is something for every taste.

Light into the Afternoon

Lunch should keep you going without weighing you down. If you want to work with focus afterwards, Indian cuisine is a good choice. Many of our dishes are built on vegetables, pulses and aromatic spices that fill you up without making you tired. A dal with rice or a vegetable curry gives you energy for the afternoon instead of sending you into a slump.

Spices play a bigger role here than you might think. Turmeric, ginger and cumin have long been considered easy on the stomach and give food a comforting warmth. You decide how strong it should be, because we are happy to adjust the heat to your taste. That way you leave the table refreshed rather than heavy, ready for the rest of the working day.

Guests who regularly have lunch with us appreciate exactly this balance. The food is hearty enough to last until the evening, yet light enough to keep you alert. That turns a business lunch into a break that does the whole day good.
