Nandhana's Bukit Merah brings the brand's hearty, homestyle Indian cooking to the ground floor of Rubikon on Jalan Bukit Merah. It is one of nine Nandhana's branches across Singapore — from Joo Koon to Marine Parade — all run by a restaurant that has been proudly serving the island since 2018. Like its siblings, the Bukit Merah outlet is halal certified, and the menu stretches across the full breadth of Indian food: North Indian classics, South Indian staples and a solid line of Indo-Chinese favourites.
The dining room is casual and family-oriented — Nandhana's describes itself as a place where diners young and old are welcome, where great cooking meets fantastic vibes. The kitchen's philosophy is simple: nutritious, delicious and affordable food, cooked with no added MSG and no artificial preservatives, never reusing cooking oil, and sourcing ingredients from local, organic farms wherever possible.
Briyani is the undisputed star. The dum biriyani list covers chicken, mutton, naatukozhi (country chicken), Chicken 65, tandoori chicken, chicken tikka, fish, prawn, egg and plain non-veg versions, with a parallel seeraga samba range for those who prefer the smaller, more aromatic grain. Bucket briyanis in 2kg, 3kg and 5kg sizes feed gatherings, while tandoori chicken, thali meals, deep-fried starters and bento boxes round out a menu with genuine range. Delivery runs from 10.30am to 9.30pm, with free home delivery on orders of $50 or more.

Tandoori chicken is the other headline act, fresh from the clay oven, while Thali Meals round out the best-seller trio with a complete plate of rice, curries and sides.

For a speedier meal, the Bento Box menu boxes up a starter and main — vegetarians can pick Gobi 65, Mushroom 65 or Paneer 65, while non-veg mains run to plain briyani, egg fried rice and egg fried noodles.
