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!
Vegetarian options: As with most Indian buffets you will be happy and full when you leave. Delicious selection.

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.

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!
Lumbini Restaurant was great. I didn't know it was located close to me. I walked in they were playing soothing cultural music. Before we ordered we received some water for the table. Their menu has great coverage of food. I chose the Chicken Tikka Masala, mildly hot, with samosa, Garlic Naan, and a Mango Lassi. It was all great, so flavorful and delicious. What was even greater was the waiter's hospitality and service. We weren't able to eat all of it so they offered to go plates. Thank you for your hospitality! See you again.
Vegetarian options: If you look at their menu they do have a vegetarian section for people that don't eat meat.

This has become one of my favorite lunch stops in the area. The food is always fresh and delicious. The service is super pleasant and friendly and the atmosphere is perfect for having a relaxing quiet lunch alone or with friends/coworkers. The lunch buffet offers many options and is a must try as well. This is one I’ll certainly return to. Please give them a try!
I love living on the same block as this Indian/Nepali restaurant on Charles St. I highly recommend it. They have a solid command of the Indian food basics, reasonable prices, and always provide courteous, attentive service. The lunch buffet is great, whether you sit down for a meal or pay by the pound for a takeout container. The by-the-pound deal is excellent whether you want a full lunch or just a snack. Their online ordering app works well, sending me deals and promos that motivate me. It's a neighborhood treasure, and I'm glad to support it.

Went to Lumbini’s stall in Lexington Market. The chicken tikka masala came recommended to me and it was excellent! Added a little hot sauce for some heat. The rice is lightly sweet, so it was a great combination.

Truly a hidden gem. I’ve never had better baingan bharta, and the tandoori sauce is incredible.

Located right in the Inner Harbor, Lumbini has excellent, authentic Indian food! We got the lamb biryani and lamb korma and devoured it in minutes. The service is quick and the restaurant is very clean. We would absolutely come back!
