Great food and service

Nirvana Café on Avenue de la Gare in Luxembourg is a hidden gem for those who appreciate freshly cooked vegan food. The menu may be limited, but each dish is carefully crafted, offering a selection of delicious choices that truly satisfy. It feels like you’re enjoying home-cooked soul food, with flavors that are comforting and nourishing. My personal favorites are the Chole Bhature (Chickpea Curry with Fried Flatbreads) and the momos—both are simply delightful!

I’ve been dining here for 4.5 years, and it’s become a special place for me. Beyond the delicious food, what sets Nirvana Café apart is its commitment to promoting the social cause of veganism. By offering plant-based dishes, the café not only caters to a growing demand for healthier, cruelty-free options but also contributes to reducing the environmental impact associated with traditional diets. Dining here feels like you’re making a positive choice for both yourself and the planet.

I also admire the café’s generosity in giving food to the homeless for free. It’s heartwarming to see a local business that not only serves great food but also cares for its community. The level of service is top-notch, with the staff making you feel welcome and well taken care of. The ambiance is simple yet clean and hygienic, creating a cozy environment that's perfect for a relaxed meal. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a wholesome, meaningful dining

Best Indian cuisine I've had

I've been a few times, the food is always surpassing my expectations and I love talking with the staff, very kind minded people. They call their Chole Bhatura bestseller for a reason and the Momo is worth the extra wait! Best Mango lassi and hot chocolate I've had in a vegan restaurant so far!! I'm looking forward to my next visit!!!

Pros: Delicious food , Excellent service , Cosy atmosphere

Sehr lecker und freundlich

Ich habe zuerst im Nirvana Cafe zu mittag gegessen , es wird immer ein Tagesgericht angeboten an diesem Tag war es ein Curry mit grünen Erbsen und Kartoffeln und ein paar Tage später habe ich dort zu abend gegessen und zwar einen Wrap mit Aubergine und Kartoffel der hat mir noch um einiges besser geschmeckt als das Curry.

Pros: Sehr schnell, Lecker , Freundlich

Tasty and authentic food

I had the lentil soup and a glass of grape juice. I was asked if I wanted the soup: no spicy, spicy or very spicy. I had it spicy and it was spicy indeed. Delicious!

Nice and cosy sitting.

Best meal in Luxembourg we had

After a few disappointing meals, Nirvana did not let us down. We ordered the parantha, bhagee, pakora and a aubergine masala.
All of these were outstanding. Well spiced, decent portion size and (finally in Luxembourg) flavourful!
Really happy that we came here. Also had a vegan mango lassi which was a nice treat.
Also as we were here we saw on a few occasions the owner give away free food to some people who were down on their luck which was great to see.

Very personal service, great food!

According to an Indian couple I met here the food is delicious and authentic. Owner is super friendly, hands out free food to the homeless. Do support this amazing place!

Bon et personnel généreux

Le repas était simple mais bon.
Ce qui m'a le plus touché c'est la gentillesse des personnes du lieu. En effet, ils gardent tous les jours des portions préemballées pour les offrir aux personnes sans domicile. Cela leur vaut des critiques dans le quartier mais ils continuent. "Noir, basané, blanc, pauvre ou riche, peu importe je les invite à prendre une table et je les sers" m'a dit le monsieur. Rien que pour ça ce restaurant mérite toute ma reconnaissance ✨

Pros: Le repas, Le gentillesse du personnel et du patron

Highly recommended!

Well worth the visit

The vegetable curry with extra rice and lime pickle together with the small plate of momos was plenty enough for two people. Very tasty and fast service given that we were seated on a Friday evening and there were a few people before us. Highly recommend.

Pros: Huge portions, Free extra rice, pickles and yoghurt , Fast service

Good portions of good food

Managed to get to this Indian restaurant on the last night of my stay in Luxembourg. Quite busy for a Thursday and the owner and staff were working at high speed! The menu has plenty of choice of mighty wholesome food which comes in good portions. Take-home boxes are available for those who cannot finish. Choose your level of spiciness of some dishes - mild, medium or hot!

Pros: Big portions but take-home boxes, Good variety of Indian dishes on menu, Busy, but friendly owner

Good food, hasty service, no alcohol

Place was good, but in the back is very weird as you basically eat in the storage room...
Food was good. Service was very very hasty and the owner had a very bad attitude towards the waiter.
Vegan place should be all about relax and kindness IMHO. Not there.
No alcohol served.

Delicious indian food

Everthing on the card is vegan and really delicious! We recommand the momo and the mango lassi.
Be careful if you order something spicy, it might be spicier than you think.

Pros: Every dish is vegan, Some additions like rice are for free, Student discount (15%)

I like it so much and the food was so tasty and spicy. Just I missed some vegan protein in their dishes, such as tofu or chickpeas

I tried the dish with red kidney beans - got a good portion of protein. Not sure if it is a new addition to the menu.
