Renuka Merzara in Erlangen

Very tasty food, nice ambience and very friendly innkeeper. I can only recommend it. I will definitely be a guest there many more times.

Very good food, friendly service and nice atmosphere. Absolutely recommended!

Best Indian food in town, It’s like Homemade cooked food and very tasty. The interiors are beautiful and it’s very clean. Food is delicious. Highly recommended

I always enjoy coming to Boliwood because they offer a lot of vegan food, including raita and mangolassi.

We have been here several times and have been thrilled every time. Not only is the owner very friendly and attentive, the food also tastes excellent every time. I always have a dish recommended to me and I'm thrilled every time. After a few disappointments at Indian restaurants in Erlangen, some of which are hyped but whose food is mediocre, the food here always tastes exceptionally good. My favorites are vegetarian dishes and some kind of Indian bread, for example naan or bhatura. I can recommend the restaurant. Fortunately, you can always find parking spaces because the large parking lot is directly opposite.

Friend cried because the food was really spicy👍. But it wasn't spicy P.S. awesome toilet paper

Very nice hosts, great ambience, delicious and fresh food Top

Very good food, everything was always top and extremely friendly and courteous service

Excellent Indian food, may well be the best Indian restaurant I have found in Germany so far. I recommend their home-made Kulfi as dessert !

Warm welcome, food good and plentiful at reasonable prices, nothing to complain about! We'll be back

Such delicious Indian food. Super friendly service and great ambience. We'd love to come back.

Open especially at Christmas. Very kind and attentive. Food is incredibly delicious. I am a chili enthusiast and was not disappointed. My vegan version was also particularly tasty. My pregnant wife and I will now always eat there when we are in Erlangen.

If you like India and want very good, authentic food, this is the right place for you! Everything fits, the portions are generous. The owners are very nice and always up for a joke. We always like to come back and are always faced with the challenge of “what should we eat this time?” The selection is simply huge.

Perhaps the best Indian thing to have happened in erlangn. Amazing taste and amazing service. 😋😋

We have already tried a few Indian restaurants in Erlangen but Boliwood is by far our favorite. The food is really tasty, delivered quickly and the service is good. There are also plenty of options for starters and main courses for vegans (and vegetarians). The portions are generous and the prices are also reasonable. The boss at Boliwood is super nice. The Boliwood is our “hometown” and we always enjoy going there!

Very friendly service, nice restaurant and good value for money.

Thank you very much, it was tasty and friendly :)

The food was very delicious. The naan bread with mint was a highlight. The dessert and the homemade lemonade were also very tasty 😋 We were served very nicely. Thank you very much 🥰

This is definitely the best Indian restaurant in the city. The owner is super friendly, the food is high quality and has a super special flavor. It's a little piece of India in Erlangen. 100% recommended

Boliwood Restaurant in Germany is a must-visit for any foodie craving authentic Indian cuisine. The ambiance is warm and inviting, and the staff is attentive, adding to the experience. The naan is exceptional, fresh from the tandoor—soft yet slightly charred, perfect with any dish. The tandoori menu is a highlight, from juicy Tandoori Chicken to the perfectly spiced Seekh Kebabs and smoky, tender Paneer Tikka. Each dish showcases masterful marination and cooking, bringing out rich, bold flavors. In curries, the Butter Chicken is creamy and mildly sweet, while the Rogan Josh is aromatic with tender lamb, and the vegetarian Dal Makhani is rich and comforting. Their biryani is also superb—fragrant, spiced basmati rice cooked to perfection. With its flavorful dishes and welcoming atmosphere, Boliwood is a true gem. Highly recommended for an authentic Indian dining experience!

This Indian restaurant is a hidden gem for authentic flavors! The snacks are bursting with traditional spices, especially the samosas and chaat, which are perfectly balanced between tangy and spicy. Their tandoori dishes are exceptional – each bite of the kebabs and tikkas is smoky and tender, straight from the clay oven. With a warm ambiance and attentive service, this spot is a must-visit for anyone craving a true taste of India.

Best Indian food I've ever eaten! 🫶🏼 Gladly again! Highly recommended and very nice staff.

Very tasty food and nice atmosphere. It's very cozy.

A pleasure! Everything was super tasty. We would love to come back here. Nice atmosphere and nice staff.

We regularly go to Boliwood to eat. It always tastes very good.

We've been coming here with our friends from EBS for many years and we've never been disappointed - absolutely authentic Indian food, including from the charcoal grill. There is absolutely something for everyone on the menu - a large selection of vegetarian dishes, but also meat dishes. No matter what you order, it is always a pleasure and we are already looking forward to the next visit 👍😀

Fantastic!! Freshly made, authentic creations, a feast. Don’t go to any other Indian restaurant. Wonderful couple hosting us. Enjoy this outstanding experience

Cozy atmosphere, delicious food. Super nice host.

The food was excellent and so was the service. The best address for Indian cuisine.

The food is always delicious and even for me as a vegan there is a good selection. The owners are very friendly and I also like the atmosphere there, inside and out. My favorite Indian restaurant in Erlangen.

A very nice Indian restaurant where you can eat very tasty and large dishes. I found the spiciness scale very nice and found the “Indian hot” level to be very tasty. But this should only be ordered if you like spicy food. The staff is very friendly, helpful and provides very competent advice based on your preferred taste.

Everything is great. Very authentic.

Wow, what an amazing dinner at Boliwood! Booked a table and had an incredible experience. Beautiful ambiance, impeccable service, and mouth-watering food (Butter Chicken is divine!). My husband and I loved every moment. Highly recommended!

I really enjoy eating here, the food is always good. The service is always friendly and accommodating, so you can only feel comfortable. I like to eat a lamb korma with butter naan there. You can choose between 4 different levels of spiciness, which is great if, like me, you like to eat something spicier than 'standard spicy'. The highlights for me are the chai tea and the mango lassi (which you can also get to take away). I can only warmly recommend everyone to eat there.

Very friendly owner and great that they clearly mark which dishes can be veganised :) The naan was fantastic and they especially prepared aloo gobi for us even though it wasnt on the menu. Will be back to try more!

The food was fantastic! And the service was good and friendly 👌 I plan to go back later this week 🤩

The service is very nice and also quick. The food is very tasty and not dry at all. Definitely the best Indian restaurant in erlangen.

Boliwood restaurant in Germany is a must-visit for any foodie! The Indian cuisine is authentic, flavorful, and expertly prepared. The Naan was a revelation - I've never tasted anything quite like it. Don't miss out on this culinary gem! a big recommendation

I'm still dreaming about the food at Bolliwood restaurant in Germany! The samosa, butter chicken, and chicken tikka were all outstanding, but the Naan was the real star of the show. If you're a Naan lover like me, you owe it to yourself to try Bollywood's version - it's life-changing! 5 stars, hands down.

Very tasty Indian food, be careful with the spicy! Between 1-4 I had 2 and that was pretty good! My salt lassi was really delicious, especially the naan was freshly baked and warm 👌

I was here for the first time yesterday and the food was very tasty. The portions were large and freshly prepared. There is a large selection of dishes and many dishes can also be prepared vegan. Since the small outdoor area is adjacent to a street, you can hear some traffic. The outside area is still surrounded by a hedge, which means that the noise is well insulated. The service was very attentive and courteous. I will definitely come here more often.

Had Indian food here today. The food was very tasty and the service was very friendly. You can sit outside or inside if it's too warm outside. We felt very comfortable, the owner is very nice and it's nice to talk to him. We'll definitely be back soon. I can highly recommend the restaurant.

Very nice and polite owners of this restaurant, delicious food, price/quality is good The location is not special, but we had a nice evening and our dog was very welcome too ! Regards, Anton & Femke from Holland

For me the best Indian restaurant I know. The food is delicious, just to enjoy. The service was super friendly. I highly recommend the lamb/chicken korma. My personal highlight. It's worth coming by!

Great authentic food. Very accommodating restaurateur. Price performance ratio top

Food and service are great. Everything nicely decorated. It's sometimes a bit noisy outside because of the trains passing by, but otherwise everything is great :)

Really great Indian restaurant with a very large selection, including vegan options. Also a real hit for anyone who likes (can) eat really spicy food.

I can highly recommend Boliwood! The food was really good and the service was exceptional!

Wonderful place! Enjoy the mango lassi, and make sure to get the yummy grill sauce with any of the grilled meat dishes. Friendly owners

Best Indian restaurant in Erlangen. Very good food, well seasoned, pleasantly spicy Friendly service

Very tasty food. In my opinion it is the best Indian restaurant in Erlangen. Large portions, high quality food, centrally located and super friendly staff!! We'd love to come back! ☺️

Worst food I ever had in Erlangen..... I can cook better at home.... I ordered chicken curry and said medium spicy... It was so spicy so spicy that I had some health issues because of it. There was no taste at all it seemed like they only added chilly powder and lots of oil.. Nothing else.......

I've been a regular customer there for years. Always the best quality for many years. - Super Service - Great food - Very stylish and authentic ambience. The boss's wife cooks here herself and is a true master. You can taste the passion. The boss and his son ensure perfect service and always have an open ear for every guest. It couldn't be better! If you want to feel like an Indian Maharaja for a few hours, this is the place for you.

Food was okay, could have been a little more and the starter was sometimes very salty but as I said you can get over all that. What you unfortunately can't get over so easily is the story behind it: A regular guest, who apparently regularly spends time with his companion in a corner of the indoor area, behaved extremely rudely and aggressively towards our baby, who was being changed and breastfed indoors for a short time while we were sitting outside. He repeatedly complained about his presence and harassed us with derogatory comments. Among other things, he said that this wasn't a kindergarten, that he wanted some peace and quiet and that we should leave. He emphasized that when he comes to eat once a week, he wants to be left alone. His behavior was that of a downright child hater, which made our visit very unpleasant. To our regret, the innkeeper did not intervene (he is definitely fond of children and family-friendly) to put the man in his place or to defuse the situation. In retrospect we found this a bit unfortunate. We noticed that this regular guest regularly sits in a corner with his companion indoors and, without exchanging a word, takes a kind of “maternity break”. He harasses families with children with his threatening manner, which creates an unpleasant atmosphere. We would like to know if other guests have had similar experiences with this regular guest. We hope that such incidents can be avoided in the future so that all guests - including families with babies - can feel comfortable with you.

Best Indian restaurant in the area. Been our preferred restaurant for many years. Food is consistently very good, spiciness on request and always appropriate... you rarely have this continuity. Family business with heart and you can taste it. Ambience outside and inside very nice, not overloaded, but still authentic. Absolute recommendation for this restaurant.

Super friendly 👍 Food is very tasty 😋 Would love to come here again See you soon 👋

Very good food. In our opinion the best chicken curry in town. Unfortunately the prices are just a bit high, especially for a Bhatura for example (almost €6 for some dough that is fried in oil). If you order two, as they are also quite small, you're almost at €12 just for "bread". But it is worthwhile in any case. Would love to come back. If the prices were a little cheaper I would like to do it more often. :D

Very friendly hosts and very good food! Nice sun terrace, quite noisy next to the train, but worth it for good Indian food.

If you want to eat REALLY good, authentic food from India: go here!!!! Went here today thanks to a table reservation from friends. The mango curry: WOW! The best and fruitiest thing I've ever eaten. Best hospitality and very attentive. It was a wonderful evening.

My favorite restaurant in Erlangen, authentic Indian food, friendly owner. I left Erlangen but will miss this restaurant

We have been here many times and are thrilled every time. Really very tasty food

Fantastic place with great indian food! Everytime we sleep in Erlangen we MUST go and have dinner there. Very kind owners, always smiled nad professional. I recommend this restaurant very much.

Quality food. Fresh vegetables instead of frozen foods. Large portions and individual requests are catered for. Friendly service without a long waiting time. There are almost always parking spaces at the cemetery. Definitely coming back.

Very nice restaurant Very nice service and delicious food!!

Great Indian, super nice staff, the food is always excellent, the location is central. Clear recommendation!

We have eaten here many times now. As always, very tasty, service is very friendly and on the ball. Always enjoy coming here and can only recommend the restaurant!!!

You eat in a very nice atmosphere, the food tastes very good, the toilets are pleasantly cleaned. Price is reasonable, you say goodbye with a good feeling.

Very tasty food, the spiciness can be determined by yourself, for those who can't tolerate too much. Good portions and always freshly prepared. Very friendly staff. Highly recommended.

Good Indian restaurant, very friendly staff and good national cuisine with individual advice. Every dish we ate was simply delicious, everything was freshly prepared by his wife's boss and it was simply fantastically delicious every time!

Great food, great owner, absolutely satisfied. I can recommend it without reservation.

Nice service, super delicious food

Good food , relaxed atmosphere and wonderful owner

Best Indian within 50km. The taste is a dream. The boss is super friendly. And I've been eating here regularly for more than 10 years. The quality was never tampered with. Always great! Family business, people still cook with love here.

Great food. The boss cooks herself in the family-run restaurant. Friendly service; pleasant atmosphere.

The best Indian in the area! The food here is fresh and cooked with love. There is a huge selection of vegetarian and vegan dishes that can be ordered - no matter what you eat there, it is always delicious! The sharpness can also be adjusted individually to your preferences if you want. In addition, the service is always super friendly and courteous (the boss usually serves himself), which makes you feel comfortable and welcome!

Very good food and very nice staff. Been coming here to eat for years.

Minus points, zero stars! Not recommended! Little seasoned, bland and bland. We have already tried several Indian restaurants in Erlangen and generally eaten a lot of Indian food, but we won't go here again. Cooked and served here with minimal effort. No taste of ginger, onions or the other fine Indian spices. The meat was warmed up and didn't taste like it had been baked in a tandoori oven. There wasn't enough rice and the naan bread only came shortly before the end of the meal. We ate with three children for 130 euros and can only say: What a waste of money (the Indian restaurant on Goethe Street is better, not the fast food joint! Or the "le bar" if it is still open)

Excellent !!! My favorite Indian place in Erlangen just doesn't deliver.

We have been eating at Boliwood regularly for years. No matter what you use, it simply tastes great. The restaurant is family run and you can tell the passion. The portions are large and nicely prepared. The lamb is buttery tender, as is the chicken, there is a large vegetarian selection and vegan is also possible without any problems.

The food is simply divine, the service is very warm. Especially the homemade cheese (paneer) with mango – a poem 🥰

The food here is just really delicious. The atmosphere is great and the people are incredibly nice and accommodating. I recommend everyone to eat something there. We are more than thrilled. Thank you very much for the great food.

Good food, good service - will return!

We have been enjoying coming to eat here for 20 years. Small, cozy restaurant with consistently good quality.

Very nice Indian restaurant with very tasty freshly prepared food and super friendly service. We can only recommend it...we would love to come back😍

The restaurant is highly recommended Very good food (never had such a delicious Indian meal) The service was very nice and the atmosphere is very cozy

Freshly grilled aubergines as a mild-spicy main course, a super fresh house-style yoghurt and garlic naan with plenty of garlic - it's always worth stopping here! The landlord is friendly and very accommodating when looking for a place. His wife, the cook, personally asks whether everything tastes good. Fresh, personal, warm.

Simply the best Indian in Erlangen!!!

Very good cuisine, nice service, nice atmosphere.

Food is always very tasty and freshly prepared. I love spicy and the spiciness can be ordered individually. The service here is very friendly. The atmosphere here is also great. It was a pleasure.

The best Indian restaurant in Germany. The food is fantastic and the owners are very friendly.

Sehr gutes Essen & alle äußerst nett.

Guter Service, leckeres Essen, sehr empfehlenswert!

Sehr leckeres Essen und eine tolle Atmosphäre. Die Bedienung war sehr nett und das Essen sehr gut. Das Essen schmeckt als wäre ich in Indien. Das Boliwood ist definitiv ein Geheimtipp in Erlangen. Wir werden das Restaurant demnächst gerne wieder besuchen.

Bestes indisches Lokal! Authentische, traditionelle Küche, hervorragende Köchin. Wir sind regelmäßig zu Gast und wollen das gute Essen nicht missen.

I am so, so grateful Erlangen has this wonderful, Indian restaurant. I have been a returning guest for many, many years. Their food is delicious and varied, they have plentiful vegan options too. The owners are very friendly and often engage in little chats. The rooms are spacious with high ceilings and a delightful interior, and there is no overpowering music, which is something I much appreciate, since it makes for a calm atmosphere and allows for conversation. The restrooms are pleasantly clean. And to top it off, Boliwood is conveniently situated in walking distance from downtown and the train station, with car parking opportunities very nearby.

Sehr leckeres Essen und freundlicher Service.

Total guter Laden. Super essen, netter, zuvorkommender Service. Allein schon das Knoblauch Naan ist den Besuch wert. Was uns super gefallen hat war dass man den Schärfegrad bei jedem Gericht auswählen kann. Dabei ist mild auch wirklich mild und scharf auch wirklich scharf 🌶️

Wir sind da schon öfters Essen gewesen war jedes mal sehr gut und das Personal ist auch sehr freundlich. Können es nur empfehlen.

Der beste Inder in der Umgebung! Hier wird noch frisch und mit Liebe gekocht (meistens nur durch die Frau bzw. das sehr kleine Personal des Besitzers, deshalb variiert die Wartezeit auch je nach Restaurantbelegung, was verständlich ist und bis jetzt nie ein Problem dargestellt hat). Es gibt eine riesige Auswahl an vegetarischen und vegan bestellbaren Gerichten - egal was man dort isst, es ist immer sehr lecker! Auch die Schärfe kann individuell an die Vorlieben angepasst werden, wenn man das möchte. Und alle, bei denen die Augen größer waren als der Magen ;-), können Reste für ein kleines(!) Entgelt (so auch in der Karte vermerkt) mitnehmen (Material und Aufwand sind mehr wert als dieses Entgelt...). Außerdem immer super freundlicher und zuvorkommender Service (der Chef bedient meist selbst), bei dem man sich einfach nur wohl und willkommen fühlen kann!

Das essen wird immer individuell und frisch zubereitet. Es schmeckt einfach lecker.
