My Elephant Kitchen

FlowFood in Lucerne. Ayurvedic soul kitchen 🌿✨

Some dinners feed you.
And some make your whole system take a deep breath.

That’s exactly what in Lucerne felt like.

A fully vegetarian and vegan Ayurvedic restaurant where Chef Joe brings Indian-inspired flavours, modern soul food and his years of experience from India and the Himalayas onto the plate. 🌙

We started with crispy samosas, golden pakoras, papadum with vegetable dip and homemade chutneys you instantly want to take home in a jar. Spicy, fresh, sweet, tangy… all the good things. 🔥

For the main, we had the Miracle Plate Thali for two with basmati rice, chapati, dal, pakora, raita, papadum, dessert and curries. Plus a few extra curries, because obviously. 😌

Think baked aubergine, sweet potato, paneer, coconut cream, butter masala and colourful bowls that feel like little planets of joy. 🪐

The drinks were just as special: Gour Ras with honey, turmeric, ginger, lemon and pepper, homemade lassi and the Yogi Power Drink with cashews, dates, raisins, ginger and rice milk. Comforting, warming, energising. ✨

What made the evening even better was Joe himself. His stories, his travels, his time as a monk in India and the way he brings Ayurveda into food without making it feel complicated.

Just soulful. Colourful. Warm. Full of flavour.

High recommendation for vegetarian food in Lucerne, vegan-friendly dinner spots, Ayurvedic cuisine and Indian-inspired curries that feel genuinely different.
