Studying or Working at UvA Roeterseiland Campus? Plan an Indian Dinner

A day at UvA Roeterseiland Campus can involve lectures, seminars, library sessions, research discussions or university events. When your academic commitments finish, planning an evening meal away from the campus can be a welcome change of setting.

The University of Amsterdam's Roeterseiland Campus is situated around Nieuwe Achtergracht, Roetersstraat and Plantage Muidergracht. Holi Indian Restaurant is located separately in Amsterdam Zuid, at Kastelenstraat 105. Reaching it requires a journey across the city rather than a short walk from the university.

For students organising dinner with classmates, Holi offers an Indian menu with starters, curries, breads and vegetarian selections. University employees and visiting academics can also consider reserving a table for a relaxed meal after meetings, workshops or conferences.

The restaurant provides an option for those who want to make dinner part of their evening plans rather than rely solely on dining around Roetersstraat.

Before leaving campus, browse the menu and check available reservation times. If you prefer food to take away, Holi's online ordering service provides collection options. Visitors travelling by public transport or bicycle should plan their journey using current route information.
