Passionate vegan owner + home-cooked-style Indian food= Vegan Heaven - Edit
Nirvana clearly is more than cafe. Though I only got to visit once, I could really see how the owner used Indian cooking to promote compassion to all. Even in the vegan world, it’s rare to see someone stand by their principles even if it means loosing money. When I came in, I had a vegan cheesecake in a box and the owner asked me to confirm if it was vegan, because it was really important to him that the cafe was as free from animal cruelty as possible. He also had a 10% discount for students on the already fair prices. After a wonderful meal of authentic Indian food served with loads of soy yoghurt to cool the spice, I even got a free piece of chocolate cake to take away + he offered to pack the food I couldn’t finish to avoid food waste. Really, this lunch made my day! Thank you very much to the wonderful team at Nirvana.

Almoço - Plat du jour - Edit
É nossa segunda vez no Nirvana. A primeira vez eles tiveram problema com a falta de um funcionário, então estava meio caótico, mas a comida deliciosa. Era grão de bico ensopado, arroz branco bem soltinho e salada.
Read moreHoje comemos lentilha com caldo grosso, arroz branco soltinho e salada. É super bem servido! Grande mesmo! Além disso é super apimentado e com muitas especiarias, típico indiano. Meu esposo amou pq é muito resistente à pimentas, já eu sofri um pouco com minha sensibilidade, mas é muito deliciosa a comida. Somente minha sensibilidade pegou mesmo.
Valor é ótimo para a região.
Chai com leite de soja muito gostoso também. Mais suave.
Recomendo!

Authentic - Edit
Simple restaurant, but also gave a homey feel. The owner is a dedicated vegan himself (as he told us) and loves to constantly learn about the products that he uses. Food is authentic and tastes delicious!

Great waiter - Edit
Very kind waiter! And the food is super good and not expensive. They care especially well for students, giving a 10 percent discount and going out of their way to give the lunch deal even during dinner service for them. I cant really point out a favourite dish because it was all good. Maybe the lassi was just simple yoghurt with mango taste. Not really the way lassi tasted like in my memory, maybe not airy enough.
Read moreOnly downside might be the seating which isnt top notch, but i dont really care if the food is great and the service impeccable at this price point.

Vegan dineren - Edit
Op het eerste oog leek het me geen fijne plek om te zitten omdat het aan de weg is en dus heel luid. Gelukkig was ik na een tijdje gewend en wat maakte het eten het meer dan goed. Echt geweldig. De dumplings waren echt zo goed. Heel vriendelijk personeel ook. Ze zorgen er wel voor dat je het naar je zin hebt. Gemoedelijke sfeer ook.

So cheap and so delicious - Edit
I used to go there litterally all the time as a student because the buffet was so cheap (8€ approx.); it's basically an all you can eat with rice, delicious fried vegetables (the oignion ones are a blessing), lentils curry, chickpeas and veggies. Staff is very friendly and the place is very relaxing to study or read. Unfortunately the buffet part has closed because of Covid (what a shame!!) but they have a menu with more elaborate dishes that are worth a try!
Read morePros: so cheap, so tasty, the place is very calm
Cons: nothing negative to say!

Superb! - Edit
We took the day off to go from Brussels to Luxembourg and chose this restaurant. It's a simple place, but very welcoming. We decided to eat the "all you can eat buffet", and no regrets😄I ate twice, as my hubby. The food is a flavour explosion, so good and fresh! Simple Indian food made with heart and lots of herbs/spices. They have plenty cakes to offer as dessert, and I tried the carrot caramel cake. It is simply wonderful! Soft, moist, with the caramel icing... A dream. They provide also tap water for free. The staff is very nice, warm and friendly. The owner said that it is a lady who bakes all the cakes and sells there. Clean facilities and all tables have sockets to charge your mobile phone/laptop/tablet, cuz lots of workers/students nearby usually have lunch there. And cheap! Very fair price! 10/10! The best Indian restaurant ever!
Read morePros: All vegan, friend staff, sockets everywhere, cheap
Cons: Nothing! Simply go!

Freshly prepared food. Great flavors - Edit
I went here twice, first for the buffet and second for dinner. The all-you-can-eat buffet had a delicious spinach salad with olives, battered eggplant, red bean curry, dahl and green bean potato curry with rice. At €9.50, it's an absolute bargain in Luxembourg and all the food was quite tasty. Dinner was equally as good but a lot more expensive. We ate momos (the waiting time said 40 minutes but it was quicker than that), cauliflower curry and chole chickpea curry with a yummy fry bread. Nothing felt very oily like is often the case with Indian food. The owner is friendly and the service is good. We stayed later than closing and he even gave us a free piece of cake with our kulfi. The pistachio kulfi was really good although it is quite a small portion for the price, but the flavors are delightful if you're a cardamom fan.

Honest fare done well - Edit
I normally wouldn't go for Indian food on holiday since I can get it whenever but I passed this on the way from the station and although from outside it doesn't look like too much I really fancied it, and I'm glad I did. The bloke doing the serving had a remarkably calm and respectful demeanour about him. I had a curry with a roti and asked for it hot, and he asked how hot out of three levels, so I asked him to do it how he likes to have it and, fair play to him, it was exactly right. He also brought some spicy pickle just in case and some mint chutney just in the other case so I added pickle for two helpings and chutney for the third. Just a nice time was had and the food was spot on. I'd have the mango lassi fed intravenously if I could. Cost €19.90 for all that and a mango pudding, suspiciously similar to the lassi at first but excellent.
