This is, in my opinion, the best Indian restaurant in Bochum. The service, food, and atmosphere are all 10/10. The food is truly authentic – as an Indian, I can vouch for the taste. I highly recommend it!

I was a bit worried before coming due to some of the bad reviews here. But everything turned great and I highly recommend the Thali which is like a mini tasting menu. The portion was very big for me so I packed almost half of the food away. The lady who served us was very friendly.

Amazing food, great vegan options, including dosas and garlic dosas. Space has been renovated and looks really nice and modern. Service is a lot faster than at Hari’s restaurant which was in this location before. Highly recommended! I could eat here every day

Really Nice food. Have tried various Indian dishes from here, Nandys haven't disappointed us even once. The service provided by the Staffs is also worth mentioning.

The service is amazing, fast and always with big smile . Also they speak English, so you can really get information about the food and everything before ordering. I personally got my best Indian Sri lanky food from the best place: Gambari Biriyani and the Samosa I thank the waitress there, she really helped me

Nandy's is hands down the best Indian restaurant in Bochum and the surrounding area. I absolutely love their masala dosa and chicken biriyani. Masala dosa was perfectly crispy with a wonderfully spiced potato filling, and the chicken biryani was aromatic and flavorful—exactly how it should be. The service was warm and attentive, making the whole experience feel welcoming. I recently brought my colleagues who are from different parts of the world here, and they absolutely loved it. Now we are again planning our next visit. If you're looking for authentic Indian food in Bochum or nearby cities, look no further. Highly recommended!
