Lumbini Restaurant

What a fabulous little lunch buffet! Staff was friendly and the buffet was fairly priced compared to others ($15 with tax). Yummy food and a good variety, including vegetarian options. Also had dessert and masala tea! Walking distance from Baltimore City Jury Duty too, if you’re looking for a lunch option.

Out in Baltimore, I am visiting my sister for the week and excited to see what the city has to offer as far as food goes. One place my sister raved about was Lumbini. She doesn't have the same palette as I do for food, but when she mentioned a buffet for $16, she was definitely speaking my language! The restaurant is located in the heart of downtown, and it is dripped out in Indian/Nepalese decor. Really tall ceilings, there are plenty of seats, and even a full functioning bar in the back. My favorite detail in the Lumbini is the huge chandelier hanging in the front of the restaurant. Service was great. There was only one person taking orders and running food out, but it wasn't incredibly busy. Most people were coming for the buffet, and there was no need to take orders for that. The waitress just showed me where the plates were, and I went to work! Wow people the food here is phenomenal, and they have such a wide variety of options for the buffet that it is absolutely a steal. My personal favorites were the Chicken Curry, Chicken Tikka, Sang Paneer, and the Samosas. Everything here was amazing. It is somewhere you have to go when visiting Baltimore!

I had never eaten at a Lebanese restaurant before. The waitress was kind and helped me order. I said I like lamb, and I like a medium spice level. The food was delicious, and the portion was more than I could eat. An all around great experience.

Been here twice so far and I love it. The food is really delicious and the service is friendly. First time I went, I had a lovely chat after dinner with staff and management about how they make their Nepali Tea--so good! This visit, I ordered Paneer (cubes of cottage cheese in sauce with green peas), Garlic Naan, Nepali Tea, and Mango Lassi. All were great. The naan was very slightly on the crispier side than I usually prefer, but still satisfying nonetheless, so no complaints from me. The Paneer dish came with white rice and was very satisfying, the Mango Lassi is universally delicious, and the Nepali Tea is something I highly recommend. My friend ordered a Goat Curry, which she shared and which was also really tasty. Bone-in, tender, and wonderfully satisfying. Service-wise, they're friendly and check in regularly without being invasive. Wouldn't ask for more. Atmosphere is small but elegant, culturally inviting, and intimate. Parking is nearby street or garage parking. Overall, I really Ike this place and recommend it to people going to downtown Baltimore. 5/5 stars from me.

Excellent Indian/Nepalese cuisine here. Just happened to stumble upon this spot and was extremely satisfied with the quality of their food, as well as the attentiveness of the server (Sumeer). Would highly recommend the Gobi Manchurian, though everything was spectacular. I had everything spicy, which was the perfect level.

This place is amazing, it has such a very peaceful, zen, tranquil vibe to it plus the food is delicious and freshly made, they also have a $15 dollar all you can eat buffet from 11a.m to 3p.m through out the weekdays 😋🍽🥟🍛🧆

Great meal at the lunch buffet. Sag paneer was heavy on the salt but the experience was awesome. Service and staff was great and I can't wait to go back. Fish curry was fantastic! Lentils split pea dish was also very well done 😁 vegetarians and Buddhist will feel very well at home!
