In
general, you can find almost all Indian/Asian food items, Masalas, Spices and Packed
food items in Grønland (an area in Oslo) Turkish and Pakistani shops. So Namkeen, Khakraaa, Gulab Jamoon, Dosa Mix,
Garam Masala, Chole Masala, Rooh Afza, etc. are easily available.
The biggest and perhaps one of the most diverse shop (owned by Turkish) is located just outside Grønland T-Bane stop (take exit saying Busterimanlen Grønland) and ask anyone for vegetable shop. You will usually find the freshest and cheapest vegetables and exotic fruits, which are not generally available elsewhere. Interestingly this shop opens almost 365 days a year, and usually doesn't close until 9pm :)
Another interesting and year long open shop (also by Turkish) is located at Brugata bus stop, next to Mycall (formerly Lebara) showroom. This shop also has a large assortment of Indian, Turskish, Japensese, Thai, Chinese, Vietnamese and other groccery products in addition to household (daily needs) items.
If you are looking for some special Asian ingredients, your best would be to visit one of the many Asian shops in and around Brugata. Your best bet to buy an Indian item would be to visit Siddique (take bus 60 and get down Norbbygata) or Sunny Mart (between Grønland T-bane and Service Centre for foregin worker's office. Beware of Sunny Mart though, apart from rude owners, quite a few times, they sell expired goods, even few months after expiry. I once found a Maggi packet that expired over 9months ago and yet on sale. Personally, I would recommend Siddique, with its courteous & helpful staff and reasonable prices. Tip: You ask in Hindi, for exact name of the product ;)

If you want to eat out, there
a few inexpensive (Read one meal below 150 NOK) Pakistani restaurants that
serves mainly Punjabi food. Exclusive fine dining Indian restaurants will set
you off by at lease 500 NOK/per person for a three course meal. In case, you are a fan than here are numerous Sushi joint in every nook and corner of Oslo.
