Lumbini RestaurantLumbini Restaurant
In Nepali, Lumbini means “lovely” — and it is also the sacred garden where the Buddha was born. We carried that name from the Himalayas to Amstel 32, a few steps from Rembrandtplein, Muntplein and the Flower Market.
Lumbini is an authentic Indian restaurant in Amsterdam and one of the city’s genuine Nepalese restaurants. Our chefs cook two living traditions side by side: rich North-Indian curries, tandoori and biryani alongside true Nepalese plates like momos and Dal Bhat — every dish made fresh, with whole spices and care.
Whether you are looking for the best Indian food in Amsterdam for dinner, comforting Nepalese food for lunch, or catering for a gathering, you will find a warm welcome at our table.
