Indian flavors, lightning-fast service: Indigo Express expands in Buda with two new locations

Indigo Express opened its first unit in Budapest’s Nyugati Square in the summer of 2024, and just a year later it will expand with two new locations: in the spring of 2025, the first Hungarian Indian street food restaurant chain will open its doors on the Buda Coast and in Etele Plaza. The goal is not only to reach new, dynamically developing points of the city, but also to optimize home delivery in Buda.

Street food in the best sense of the word

Indigo restaurants have long been the standard-bearers of Indian gastronomy in the capital, but Indigo Express represents a new generation concept: fast, yet carefully prepared dishes, traditional flavors in a modern presentation. The restaurant chain has become a favorite since its launch, with the aroma of thali platters and spicy one-dish dishes regularly filling the place at lunchtime, and a full house welcoming guests in the evenings.

A unit with twice the floor space is now available on the Buda coast, where the public can get acquainted with new flavors and regional Indian specialties in addition to butter chicken. The owners aim to have something familiar and something new on their plate with every visit – all at affordable prices.

Cooks slowly, arrives quickly

The philosophy of Indigo Express is simple and bold: the richness of Indian cuisine is not accelerated, but rather made accessible to the urban pace with precise preparation and professional logistics. In addition to authentic recipes, the seasoning is consciously tuned to European tastes – for example, by fine-tuning the spiciness levels over the course of six months.

The arrival of the new chef has given even more impetus to the continuous updating of the menu. Part of the concept is that Indigo Express brings dishes from different regions of India to the streets of Budapest: in addition to classic thali menus and samosas, there are also dosas, kheema pav, fusion naan wraps, and mango lassi, in jugs, for sharing.
