Restaurants in Downtown Reykjavík ($-$$$)
Food scene
The BEST Asian food in Iceland without a doubt. Their website is very outdated and the menu isn't on it, but don't be fooled, the food is absolutely amazing. Ban Thai is truly a hidden gem when searching online for food experiences in Reykjavik and we couldn't recommend it more.
But be warned, they mark the spiciness of the dishes on the menu with one jalapeno being the least spicy and five being the most. A three spice dish and anything above that is truly, truly spicy. If you like spicy foods we recommend trying a three spice dish to begin with (the Green Curry dish is excellent) and to work from there.

If you want to try out the Icelandic meat soup this is a good place to go! They also have a variation of local cuisine along with good burgers and excellent beer. The price is fair compared to many other places downtown and the quality is excellent.

Mandi is a family owned restaurant and a local favorite with nice staff and quality shawarma, falafel & other Middle Eastern food.
They have tables but it's not a fine dining experience, rather more like a fast food establishment with great food to have quick bite before experiencing more of the city.
