Govinda Vegan & Vegetarian Restaurant

The gentleman (owner I’m guessing) was very kind, but the food was as if it had just been reheated in the microwave. I ordered two side dishes and I’m pretty sure they were frozen microwave dishes. Their menu online is a joke.

I asked if the thali was Gujarati and was told “it’s like Gujarati”. If I didn’t have my kids with me I would have left.

Sounds like this place is hit or miss based on the reviews based on whatever they made the day before or a few days before.

Consistently delicious food & great customer service! Also very affordable

Govindas atmosphere is beautiful. Unfortunately the food was like reheated in the microwave. Granted I came towards the end of the day, but he/owner reheated food our in the microwave and we ended up getting pretty sick, but we still rock with Govindas. ❤️ cool people’s just reheat your food to a high temp guys

2 of us ordered the lunch special that comes with 6 or 7 different dishes. I threw most of mine away. The food was soggy fried and without much flavor, even the Naan was inedible. Not authentic at all

Clean restroom. Simple spiritual place to eat healthy and inexpensive vegan and vegetarian food.
