As a vegetarian, I knew about this place but for some reason kept forgetting about it.  I finally remembered the other day and so headed there for lunch.  Very cozy, quiet, zen place inside - although I did takeout as opposed to eating there due to work.  I took the 4 choices option and that day it was dahl, chana masala, saag paneer, and a slightly spicy carrots and peas dish, served with white rice.  The portions were pretty huge, especially given the low price; I had to take some back home that evening.  It was really good!  My favourites were the dahl and the carrots/peas dish.  Definitely would recommend to anyone.  I hear that the menu changes regularly, so I'll be sure to drop by again to try out their other dishes.

A peaceful place that’s always welcoming to young folks and people from all walks of life. Healthy and affordable food made and served with care. Been going to Govinda’s since the 1990s.

I love the food here. The place is clean. The food tastes homemade and healthy. However, the quantity of food they put in takeout boxes is inconsistent. Depending on who's serving, sometimes the quantity is generous and, at other times, not enough. The last time I got takeout, I was given barely enough rice for one person.

I hope that they provide instructions to their staff on how to serve for takeout.
