Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Food is always good and consistent, so that counts a lot! I ordered 2 dishes today, which included 1 papadam each, and I ordered 4 extra papadams for the whole family. Disappointed to see that they charged me for 4 extra papadams, and I got 2,5!!! I was supposed to get 6! Super annoying. Don’t get it, and didn’t discover it until well on my way home. Now I am extra annoyed that they asked me to pay cash, because they were too busy to let me tap my card. 🧐Also gotten yoghurt on a vegan dish once. But I truly love this food, so I might get over the missing papadams and getting charged extra for actually nothing eventually.

We came across this restaurant in an on line search of popular, moderately priced restaurants in Oslo and were not disappointed. We ordered lamb and chicken curry and were really impressed with the freshness and flavor of our dishes. Servings were ample and came on large plates that held a sample of smaller side dishes that were also delicious. The atmosphere inside was very friendly and the service was great. If you are a fan of Indian and Sri Lankan food and on the prowl for a great meal at a very reasonable price in Oslo (not always easy to find here), this place is definitely worth seeking out.

On a long weekend visit to Oslo, we were recommended a walk up the Akerselva River that runs through the town and to check out the Palmyra Restaurant and Cafe at Norbygata 15A, 0187 Oslo, which is in the heart of a multicultural area, just to the North and East of the city centre. We (two) shared the Vadai starter, which came with a delicious coconut chutney. I ordered the Lamb Curry, which was hot and spicy, and in traditional South Indian style, was served on a large metal plate with a rich array of chutneys and small side dishes. My partner had the Masala Dosa, which did not disappoint. We shared a Parotta and had a bottle of Cobra beer each, which was served cold on the premises. We had a lovely chat to the staff, who spoke really great English. The atmosphere in the restaurant and streets was vibrant, warm and friendly. Highly recommended. And the value, given Oslo prices (!) was excellent.

Real authentic Tamil food in downtown Oslo, rumor has it they import some of the veggies, since they otherwise wouldn’t be possible to serve in this remote country. Friendly and simple, awesome vegan options and always delicious. On top of that it is (by Norwegian standards) ridiculously inexpensive. Always a favorite!

An absolute gem in the middle of Oslo! The food is amazing tasty and varied, and well-priced! We had a wonderful meal and the waiter was extremely attentive and chatty, and made sure we had everything we needed. (Sláinte from Ireland if you’re reading this!)

Bad service. I went with my mother to taste Tamil food for the first time. We wanted to order “masala dosai” and “idly”. But we are told that idly can not be made, because it takes a long time(?) Then I wonder why they're selling this.
Then we decide to order 1 dish which is masala dosai. But also we are told to order 2 different dishes because we are 2 people. If we are to order 1 dish then we have to take away. We can't sit inside and eat. The chef of the restaurant was there, and it was he who asked the waitress to tell us these things.
The restaurant was not full and there was no queue either. In addition to this, the waitress begins to make choices for us and almost forces us to take what he says. Again very poor service.

Love the food they serve at Palmyra cafe. Eat there often, like vegetarian tali and masala dosai. Fits strong, feels very healthy and tastes delicious. Nice and funny waiter :-) At weekends they serve Briyani - a lot of food for the money!

Never seen a South Indian restaurant charge separate for chutney with vada ! See photo, quality average despite exorbitant prices. Poor ambience, more a working class eat out rather than family outing for a nice meal ! Wouldn’t go again.

This food is just incredible! I know it is not so typically Norwegian but they are really delicious and authentic flavours after the more subtle cuisine we had been experiencing. The staff were really friendly and helpful too. Great meal and great price! Strongly suggest you explore and discover a more casual and vibrant district of Oslo (ten minute walk from Central Railway Station).

A hidden gem in a non tourist area of Oslo. Lovely Sri Lankan food served traditionally with great vegetarian and meat choices
