Nandhana's Restaurant at Marine Parade Central's iMall is a branch of the halal-certified Indian restaurant group that has been serving Singapore since 2018. The kitchen covers a wide sweep of the subcontinent: North Indian and South Indian classics alongside Indo-Chinese favourites, all cooked without added MSG or artificial preservatives, with healthy cooking ingredients and no reuse of cooking oil.
Briyani is the heart of the menu. Alongside the everyday dum briyani varieties in chicken, mutton, naatukozhi (country chicken), fish, prawn and egg, there's a full Seeraga Samba briyani line and party-sized Bucket Briyanis in 2kg, 3kg and 5kg formats that come with chicken lollypop, gravy and onion raita. Tandoori dishes, deep-fried starters like Chicken 65 and fish fingers, thali meals and bento boxes round out the offering, with vegetarian choices such as Gobi 65, Mushroom 65 and Paneer 65.
The group positions itself as a place where great cooking and fantastic vibes meet — nutritious, delicious and affordable food that welcomes diners young and old. Ingredients are sourced from local, organic farms where possible, and the branch supports islandwide home delivery, table reservations and a customer loyalty program.
Tucked into #02-05 of the iMall along Marine Parade Central, Nandhana's Restaurant brings the flavours of a well-loved Singaporean Indian restaurant group to the east coast neighbourhood. The brand has been cooking in Singapore since 2018, and this halal-certified kitchen covers an unusually broad stretch of the subcontinent — North Indian, South Indian and Indo-Chinese dishes all share the menu.
The vibe is deliberately casual. The team describes the restaurant as a place where great cooking and fantastic vibes meet, serving food that is nutritious, delicious and affordable, and welcoming diners young and old. It is the kind of table you can pull up with family on a weeknight or fill with friends for a celebratory feast.
One thing Nandhana's takes seriously is what goes into the food — and what stays out. Dishes are made with no added MSG and no artificial preservatives, the kitchen uses healthy cooking ingredients, and cooking oil is never reused. Where possible, ingredients are sourced from local, organic farms, supporting the surrounding community while keeping things fresh.
The group also values transparency and honesty, aiming to build trust with customers and neighbours — a stance backed by its halal certification.
Ask what to order and the answer starts with briyani. The dum biriyani range runs from the chicken dum briyani best seller through mutton, naatukozhi (country chicken), chicken 65, tandoori chicken, chicken tikka, fish, prawn and egg versions. For those who prefer the shorter, more aromatic seeraga samba grain, an entire parallel menu mirrors the classics — including a seeraga samba fish fry briyani and naatukozhi briyani.
Feeding a crowd? The Bucket Briyanis are the answer, in 2kg, 3kg and 5kg sizes with your choice of chicken, mutton or nattukozhi. Each bucket arrives with chicken lollypop, chicken gravy and onion raita, and the 5kg adds a 1.5-litre cold drink — a one-call solution for family gatherings and office lunches.
The kitchen's range goes well past rice. Tandoori chicken and tandoori platters come straight from the clay oven, thali meals lay out a complete spread on one plate, and deep-fried starters — chicken lollypop, Chicken 65 in regular or Hyderabadi style, fish fingers, fish 65 and prawn 65 — are built for sharing. Vegetarians have their own lane with Gobi 65, Mushroom 65 and Paneer 65.
A bento box menu offers a compact lunch format: the veg bento pairs rice and mains with a starter of your choice, while the non-veg bento offers plain briyani, egg fried rice or egg fried noodles. Indo-Chinese cravings are covered too, keeping the whole table happy under one roof.
Dining in is easy — tables can be reserved online, and reservations are recommended, especially for larger groups and weekend rushes. If you'd rather eat at home, the branch supports home delivery: orders are free of delivery charge with a minimum spend of $50, islandwide delivery starts from $30 with a $7 fee, and the delivery window runs from 10.30am to 9.30pm. Regulars can also join the restaurant's loyalty program to collect points on every visit.
For events and offices, a dedicated catering menu extends the kitchen's reach beyond the dining room, and the group's bento offerings make bulk lunches straightforward.
Whether you come for a bucket of briyani with the whole family, a quiet thali, or a bento on the go, Nandhana's Marine Parade keeps things simple: honest, halal-certified Indian cooking made with care, right in the heart of Marine Parade Central.
