Food Scene
Shawarma Grill-House with the subtitle "Est. 1981" is easily the best shawarma in town. The meat is prepared with a special marinade, with a rich taste of youghurt and spice. Their chili sauce is exceptionally good, tasty and sweet with just the right amount of bite. Extremely fast food, once you get to the counter, but expect some queue at peak hours.

Michelin star thai food. Too good to be true, and really worth the high price - if you like asian food. Don't go there if you're not into Thai cuisine, but if you are (like most people I know) it'll be the meal of your life. Or one of them, anyway.

Best thai in Nørrebro, Aroii is a bit upmarket compared to your ordinary currypusher. But the food is way better than average, maybe because it is run from Kiin-Kiin next door, the only Thai Michelin star restaurant in Copenhagen.
