This is a small business with some of the best vegan food I have ever eaten in my life.
Vegetarian options: All of the options are vegan and are cooked or overseen personally by the owner and proprietor. I have been here on three different occasions and I have never been disappointed with my meal or the service.

I'm always looking for yummy vegan places to go out to eat at. I've always been a huge fan of Indian food and flavors. I had seen Govinda's pop up on searches I had made in the past and had filed it away to try another time. One day my husband and I were out and about running errands and we were feeling pretty dang hungry. I set the maps to Govinda's and didn't tell my hubby where we were going.Upon arrival it looked like a cute little eatery and I was excited to go in. The smells as you enter were wonderful and inviting. The music was soothing and the gentleman behind the counter was extremely helpful and kind. We chatted about travels and food and he was just a very nice person.The prices were great! Especially for the delicious food you get (and lots of it I might add) and the service that goes with it.This is my new favorite place for a quick bite out that is not only healthy but honestly tasty and vegan. I can't wait to go back and try more offerings!
Vegetarian options: It's a lovely vegan place.
Parking: A nice number of parking spots, it's a smallish lot but not overcrowded or hard to Access.

Short: Cheap, hot, delicious. Good Service.Long: . Apparently Govinda is a Hindu name that means several things, but Google especially wanted me to know that Govinda is the supreme being who can be known through the senses. Which makes me think they chose that name to suggest eating their food will bring you closer to God. ?In which case they may have succeeded. The old white fella manning the kitchen runs the whole operation buffet style and offers up a lot of patience to nee customers. And if you’re in a hurry, he’ll hurry up with you.There are two prices — a $5 small plate, and a $10 large plate. the $10 is big, more than twice, almost three times the size of the small plate.He will offer you his homemade protein crackers, which despite my initial skepticism are delicious and would make a killer snack.There are always three kinds of chutney, which is awesome.Small Dining area is often full. Take out is common and easy.I think this place is one of those examples of where simplicity encourages perfection.Don’t live in Eugene and avoid this food, Govinda’s is actively improving this city, especially River Road, every day that it is open.

OMG, we have not been here in years....had the $10 plate special w/ salad w/ miso dressing and everything from the hot bar plus a sample of the vegatable soup, 10 stars!!!. You don't have to be vegan to enjoy the great food here! Thank you so much for feeding my heart ❤️

Tasty food. They don't have a buffet anymore. $10 a plate. $5 soup.

Delicious. Seems to have improved a lot since I went in a few years ago. I'd describe it as delicately spiced and not the typical north or west Indian Cuisine you might encounter at most restaurants in the US, but still very flavorful.

The food was alright but on the bland side. The restaurant itself could use a face lift and one of the staff members was way too much. He kept calling the restaurant a place for the finest dining. I didn’t hate it, but I wouldn’t go back. It’s very much gentrified Indian food.

Filling kind food at a reasonable price.
Patrick Woods
Delicious. I would have liked a bit bigger of a portion. I liked the desert, but it was the same both times I went.
Wonderfully tasty vegan food! Cozy dining area and very reasonable prices. We highly recommend and will visit again on our next trip through this area.
Jared Levie

Was quite surprised at the healthy and flavourful options. Definitely leans more towards Indian food. Great service, taste, quality and price. Meal included salad, rice, tofu with veggies, papadum, and a small dessert. Tea is complementary, soda and soup is extra.
