Nazar Luxembourg Sàrl

Nazar Luxembourg Sàrl has established itself as a go-to restaurant in Kockelscheuer, on the Route de Luxembourg, just minutes from the city center. This hybrid establishment skillfully blends the atmosphere of a high-end cafeteria with that of a lively bar and restaurant , offering a menu designed to appeal to both connoisseurs of fine cuisine and those who simply want to enjoy a cocktail in a welcoming ambiance.

A refined setting with Mediterranean influences

Upon entering, visitors are immediately struck by the elegant décor. Warm colors, fine materials, and contemporary furnishings evoke a journey between the Orient and the Mediterranean. The establishment also boasts a spacious terrace, particularly appreciated on sunny days. The atmosphere evolves noticeably throughout the evening: more subdued at the beginning of service, it gradually transforms into a lively party venue thanks to the presence of a DJ and sometimes a saxophonist.

A generous, reimagined halal cuisine

Nazar restaurant’s menu features halal cuisine with North African, Turkish, and Mediterranean influences. Several dishes, available for takeout or dining in, are well worth trying.

• Mezze (homemade hummus, bourek, grilled prawns) are an ideal starter to share with several people.
• Angus beef and black Angus ribeye are among the most popular meats with customers, for their expert cooking and tenderness.
• Lamb chops, tuna tataki or beef tagliatelle offer varied alternatives.
• Homemade desserts, including the famous pistachio tiramisu and chocolate fondant, bring the meal to a brilliant close.
• Sunday brunch and the lunch menu also allow you to discover the restaurant at more affordable prices.

The portions are described as generous by the majority of visitors, and the freshness of the products is regularly highlighted.

A renowned cocktail bar

The Nazar bar is a major draw. Marc, the bartender, is often praised for the quality of his original and reimagined creations. The “Nazar cocktail” is particularly recommended for its balanced flavors and elegant presentation. Mocktail lovers are not forgotten, with an equally creative dedicated menu. For shisha smokers, a hookah lounge is also available.

A packed events program

The restaurant offers a rich program of events throughout the week:

• After-work drinks every Thursday with tapas and a lounge atmosphere.
• Theme nights on weekends (Marrakech, Oran, Bodrum, Old School, etc.) with DJ and sometimes saxophone or djembe.
• A monthly comedy club that attracts a diverse audience.
• Possibility of organizing private events (birthdays, company meals, hen parties) that can accommodate up to fifty people.

These activities partly justify the establishment’s pricing policy, which is in the upper range for the Luxembourg market, but nevertheless remains reasonable in view of the quality of the fresh products offered.
