Indian Restaurants

Indian Grocery


"When in Rome, do as the Romans do". But the same is not possible with food and cooking!

Indian Grocery is must for everyday meals. It doesn't mean that no grocery is available in super markets. Different type of Rice, Atta, Sooji are available in super markets like Norma, Kaufland, Rewe, Lidl, Aldi.

Options for Indian Grocery are less for people staying in Herzo. Gandhi Asia shop near Erlangen, Hauptbahnhof is the walk in stores.

www.get-grocery.com is the most convenient option to get Indian Grocery delivered to Herzo Homes especially for people having no cars or no easy access to public transport.

However there are many options available in Nuremberg.
