Restaurant Nepal — Restaurant in Echternach

TRAUMATIC EXPERIENCE. READ CAREFULLY BEFORE VISITING THIS SO CALLED RESTAURANT

After checking the google reviews, we visited this restaurant Nepal in 50 Route de LuxembourgL-6450 Echternach for dinner around. There were a few tables occupied at the bar area but generally the restaurant looked deserted in the inside area.

We were served by one Mr Sunil. When I ordered a mild spicy version of the vegetable curry for which he replied that I am confusing him by saying mild and spicy at the same time. But mild spicy is a term that is used throughout Germany and even in other countries too. However, the way he reacted to it really made me feel awkward even though I tried to explain what mild spicy meant in English and in hindi. I felt that was a very offensive reaction.

Then he served us the food which was very average and the Paneer was definitely older than the expiry date.

We were then waiting for a while for him to come back to take the next order , however he was not found in the restaurant area. Then my wife went over to the kitchen and asked him to take the order and he replied 'five minutes' without even an eye contact. He then came over to our table and said in a very rude way "what do you want ?" . I was disappointed by the way he asked and I asked him what kind of an attitude that is. He then replied that my wife did not give the order in the kitchen. I am encountering such a situation for the very first time when a customer goes searching for the waiter to give the order !

After that, he left and never returned and refused to serve us any more. We were still not finished with our dinner and we were not able to place any order due to the arrogant behaviour of the waiter.

We then decided to leave the restaurant and so we calculated the cost for what we ate and we left that money on the table. While leaving the restaurant, he chased us on the street and was screaming and abusing loudly that we did not pay for our food. But actually he did not see that we had placed the money on the table even though he crossed our table a couple of times after he refused to serve us.

Only after I told him the money was on the table, he left us alone. We all went through a very traumatic experience after deciding to eat at this restaurant thinking that we will receive a warm welcome and good food as mentioned on their website, but nothing like that really happened and what just remains is bad memories and a trauma for the whole family that needs a lot of...

Bad service and bad food, not really better than frozen food from a supermarket.

The owner guy behaved as if I wasn't there since I entered the place (or invisible) while he was greeting and having good chat with my wife for several minutes. (we were the only people there) He even asked "where I am from?" not to me but to my wife. That was very strange because I was sitting right next to her both facing to him. So I asked him "why don't you ask directly to me? I am here" He finally looked at me for the first time but with silence for many seconds.

I didn't know what was going on with his mind but he was just staring at me for another several more seconds.

He eventually asked me "um..where are you from"? "Korea" Of course he wasn't interested in that topic, so he stopped right there. Strangely he became totally quiet afterwards.

Then food was served. We had some chicken curry dish but the chicken was so hard and not fresh. I could easily notice that it was cooked serveral days ago and just warmed up, so...

This Indian restaurant is our go-to spot every time we visit Echternach.

The mango lassi is refreshing and not overly sweet, making it a good companion to the meal without feeling to heavy.

For starters, we usually opt for the vegetable pakora. Almost every Indian restaurant we went to had their own take on pakora or bhaji, and this one is crispy and rich in flavor.

Our favorite main dish is the vegetable tandoori. When you're on holiday vegetables often take a backseat in restaurant menus. This one is a standout, it's loaded with vegetables and complemented by paneer to add depth. The flavors are simply incredible. The mushrooms in particular are prepared beautifully. Pair it with a garlic naan and you have the perfect meal.

The setting may feel a bit unusual at first but the friendly service and good food keeps us...
