Mother India 1.)…read moreIntroduction It's been awhile since I've done a format of a Yelp review, but since I'm in Norway and I would like my friends from the states as well as prospective patrons to Mother India, Kristiansand, Vest-Adger, Norway to get a feel for this place. 2.) Just to warm you up: I was eyeing this place before ad had to try it. Norwegians tell me that there are better Indian places in the capital (Oslo) but I figured I'd try my luck. I came here as a solo date, I had me, myself and I to wine and dine for the night and I was quite content. 2.) What your eyes may see: The decor here is beautiful. Tapestries of Indian colors. Indian paintings. The walls were covered with all types of colors and art. The dishes were made of tin. Silverware was decorative. The restaurant is owned by a husband and wife, so you'dsee them seating, taking orders and serving alongside their staff. 3.) Food and drink: I ordered a specialized American order, which was Lamb with Saag Paneer, and ordered it spicy. Along with that I ordered Garlic Naan and Mango Lassi. The lassi tasted a little bit carbonated, a little bubbly, but I forced myself to enjoy it. The lamb Saag paneer? Hmmmm, well, lets break down the components. The lamb was kind of dry, the only thing that was good about the Saag Paneer was that it was at the spice level I requested. Other than that, the flavors were somewhat bland, not the intricacies that I normally taste in authentic india cuisine. The rice was was clumpy. 3.) Service: I thought of the service to be fine. The owner was attentive, and the food came out appropriately. 4.) Impressions: Two stars for the food. If I were to say A-OK that means I'd be content coming here again. Perhaps I'll give their other dishes a try when I return. But what I've experience back in the states exceeds this level of Indian food making.

Checking the bill when paying we were surprised to see that the "refill" was charged as a new cup of coffee. At no time did our server advice that there would be a charge.

They had many dessert options from brownies to cookies to meringues to macaroons and more! Their coffee list was appropriate and their chai was nicely spiced and not too heavy. The decor is dry sweet and charming, a good traditional Norwegian coffee shop. There are outlets located throughout the cafe and a restroom in the basement (not sure if it is accessible any other way). I would recommend stopping in!

Their wooden interior is especially eye-catching, especially their old-fashioned toilet, which is also made from wood! There's enough seating here for groups of four or above, so if you want to bring your whole family for a round of warm drinks, it won't be a problem at all! Not time to write, need to finish my cappuccino first! :)

The staff are very well trained and are great at giving recommendations and my water glass always gets refilled here.

Menu was small but plenty of good choices of apps, small and full meals and burgers. Just 3 or 4 burger options and I chose blue cheese. Cooked perfectly, medium and topped a large grilled mushroom, it oozed the melted cheese. Quite a nice burger it was served with baked or sautéed potato wedges...ok but crispy French fries' texture would be a better compliment to the juicy burger. Large and good beer selection. Service prompt and friendly. Re price...this is Norway so not pleased but not shocked by a $27 burger and a $12 beer.
