September means the same thing every year on Amager: lecture halls fill back up at ITU and the University of Copenhagen's South Campus, and thousands of students start hunting for dinner that is fast, filling and does not wreck a student budget. Indian food for students on Amager does not have to mean instant noodles or a cold slice of pizza from the place on the corner. Inder'n, our family-run kitchen on Sirgræsvej 4 in Kastrup, cooks North Indian food from scratch every single day and delivers across Amager, Tårnby and Kastrup through Wolt and our own online ordering.
We have watched this pattern for years: quiet in August, then from the first week of September the orders from Ørestad and Njalsgade postcodes start climbing again. This guide is for anyone on Amager working out where to get a proper dinner without either cooking or overspending.
Why Amager Students End Up Ordering From Kastrup
Kastrup is not next door to Ørestad or Njalsgade, but it sits well within normal Wolt delivery range for anyone on Amager, a few minutes from Copenhagen Airport in the corner of the Øresund coastline where Kastrup and Tårnby meet the bridge to the rest of Amager. What actually gets a curry ordered from a few kilometres away instead of the kebab shop downstairs comes down to three things: the food is cooked from scratch every day, the portions are generous enough to cover two meals, and the prices are built for someone counting kroner, not expensing a client dinner. We are rated 9.0 on Wolt, which in our experience is the number students actually check before a group order, more than any review blurb.
Timing works in students' favour too. We open at 16:00, right as afternoon lectures let out, and stay open until 20:30, Tuesday to Sunday. Most pickup orders are ready in 15 to 20 minutes, so an order timed around the end of a lecture block lands hot with no waiting around. For delivery, Wolt reaches ITU, the University of Copenhagen's Amager campus and student housing across the island (see also our notes on Indian food delivery to Ørestad).
What to Order on a Student Budget
A single, filling meal does not need to clear 150 kr. Chana Masala (109 kr), a portion of basmati rice (25 kr) and a plain naan (17 kr) comes to 151 kr and is enough after a long lecture block. Daal Makhani (109 kr) is the same story: black lentils slow-cooked with butter and cream that taste like they took all day, because they did. Both are vegetarian, and both reheat well the next day if a lecture runs long and lunch gets skipped.
Splitting a group order works out even better per head. Four people sharing a Butter Chicken (119 kr), a Daal Makhani (109 kr), a Chana Masala (109 kr), four Garlic Naan (17 kr each, 68 kr) and two Basmati Rice (25 kr each, 50 kr) land at 455 kr total, or roughly 114 kr per person for a full meal with leftovers to take home. That is the same math we walk through in more detail in our guide to ordering Indian food for a group: more rice and naan than you think, fewer separate mains than you think.
Ordering Together for a Dorm Night or Study Break
Most student orders we see from Amager are shared orders: a study group splitting a table between problem sets, a dorm floor ordering after an exam, a group project meeting that has quietly turned into dinner. One person places the order at indern.dk/bestil or on Wolt, everyone pays their share back, and the food arrives as a single delivery instead of five couriers competing for the same building entrance.
In our kitchen, we pack every group order the same way no matter where it is going: curries go into leak-proof containers with sealed lids, rice is kept separate from sauce, and naan is wrapped so it does not steam itself soft on the ride over. A twenty to thirty minute Wolt trip to Ørestad or Njalsgade is longer than a pickup from our own counter, so we build that extra margin into how we pack rather than leaving it to chance. It is a small detail, but it is the difference between a curry that still tastes like ours when it arrives and one that does not.
Mild, Medium or Bold: Ordering for a Group That Has Never Had Real Indian Food
Not everyone at a shared study dinner grew up eating curry, and that is fine, it happens at almost every group order we pack. Butter Chicken is the mildest, creamiest dish on the menu and the safest first order for someone trying Indian food for the first time. Chana Masala and Daal Makhani sit in the middle: warm and spiced without being aggressive. Lamb Rogan Josh and Chicken Tikka Masala carry more real heat and more chilli, better suited to the one person in the group who always asks for extra spice. Order two or three dishes across that range instead of one dish for the whole table, and everyone finds something that fits, without anyone quietly suffering through a dish that is too hot for them.
Amager fills up with students again every September, and the same kitchen that has fed this neighbourhood for years is one Wolt order away from most of campus. Inder'n is open Tuesday to Sunday, 16:00–20:30 (closed Mondays), at Sirgræsvej 4, 2770 Kastrup. Order online at indern.dk/bestil, through Wolt, or call +45 50 29 13 71. See the full menu here.
