Indian Restaurant Gandhi

Over the years, Indian Restaurant Gandhi has established itself as a leading Indian restaurant in Remich, in southeastern Luxembourg. Located at 32 Rue de Macher, postal code 5550, this family-run establishment attracts both locals and visitors, as well as many cross-border commuters drawn by its authentic cuisine and welcoming atmosphere. The restaurant boasts a diverse menu, generous portions, and attentive service, while also offering takeout and delivery options to cater to all types of customers.

A friendly setting with a popular terrace

One of Gandhi ‘s major assets is its outdoor space. The spacious, shaded rear terrace overlooks a public park and a playground, making it particularly suitable for families with children. Many regular customers enjoy sitting there on sunny days to savor a curry or biryani al fresco. Inside, the Indian-inspired décor immediately immerses visitors in the atmosphere of the subcontinent. The dining room is quite large, allowing for groups, but some customers have noted that the tables can get a bit crowded on busy evenings, resulting in noise and a feeling of intimacy. It’s therefore best to make a reservation, especially on weekends, to guarantee a comfortable table.

An extensive menu designed to please all palates

The strength of Remich’s Indian restaurant undoubtedly lies in the richness of its menu. It offers both Indian classics and signature dishes, with a wide range of meats (chicken, lamb, beef, fish, shrimp), generous vegetarian options, and numerous vegan choices. Lovers of traditional Indian cuisine will find all the classics: tandoori, butter chicken, tikka masala, lamb curry, biryani, dal tadka, and paneer tikka masala. The bread selection is equally varied, with several types of naan (plain, garlic, butter, cheese, chili) often praised as some of the best in Luxembourg.

To whet the appetite, signature appetizers include vegetable samosas, paneer pakoras, onion bhajis, and traditional fritters, usually served with a universally acclaimed tamarind chutney. For dessert, kulfi and gulab jamun delight those with a sweet tooth. The restaurant also serves Cobra Indian beer and traditional lassis, including mango and rose lassi, which are particularly recommended by regulars to accompany spicy dishes. Alcoholic beverages also include a selection of wines, including a Pinot Gris from Château de Schengen that pairs beautifully with the curries.

Our favorite dish

• The Palak Ghost , a lamb simmered in a creamy spinach sauce, is acclaimed for its balance of spices.
• The Mixed Grill , an assortment of meats grilled in the tandoor that allows you to taste several textures in a single dish.
• Chicken Makhani (butter chicken), a safe bet for palates not used to strong flavors.
• Lamb Bhuna , with tender meat and a fragrant thick sauce, is ideal with garlic naan.
• The lamb biryani , hearty and fragrant, is one of the house’s signature dishes.

Food quality: what regular customers say

Overall, the Indian cuisine served at Gandhi is perceived as flavorful, hearty, and true to traditional recipes. Many regular customers consider it one of the best Indian restaurants in the region, if not in Luxembourg. The portions are consistently described as generous, a real plus in a country where restaurant prices remain high. The daily set menu , offered at a reasonable price, generally includes a main course, a side dish (rice, naan), and sometimes soup, making it a great way to discover the restaurant at a lower cost during the week, at lunchtime.

A few negative reviews, however, temper this generally positive picture. Some customers reported reheated dishes, overcooked or hard rice, or dry chicken. Others noted order errors, particularly with takeout orders, where items were missing (such as rice) without necessarily prompting an apology or compensation. Occasionally, the sauce in some dishes did not match the menu description, which may disappoint those who appreciate fine cuisine. Finally, a few rare cases of hair being found in food or hygiene issues were mentioned, although these remain exceptional.

The service: welcoming, but with some reservations

The staff at Gandhi restaurant are generally perceived as warm, attentive, and multilingual. Many regular customers highlight the attention to detail, such as the option to adjust the spice level to their liking, or the helpful advice given to those new to Indian cuisine. The service is often described as prompt, especially on weekdays or on the terrace. Several regulars also appreciate that the staff takes the time to chat or ask how they are doing, creating a friendly, family atmosphere.

However, there are some negative reviews. The staff primarily speaks English, which can be a barrier for customers who don’t speak the language. Some visitors found the manager or owner unfriendly, even abrupt or unkind, particularly when discussing allergies or intolerances (such as gluten). Others complained about long waits, sometimes up to an hour and a half for a main course in the dining room, especially during peak hours. The takeaway service can also be unreliable, with oversights or communication problems when orders are placed on the website. Finally, it should be noted that the establishment is not accessible to people with reduced mobility and does not provide tableware suitable for young children.
