Didn’t do too much for me. Appreciate the affordability, but the food seemed like it had been sitting for a while and there was a spice used that reminded me of men’s cologne that I did not love.

I was also approached by someone from Govinda when leaving who was trying to entice me to give money to their charity. I don’t really see many pros to coming back after this experience
June 2025
It is not a professional restaurant.
It is a volunteers driven organization.
So, keep patience for food service.
It 100% daily, fresh, home cooked indian meals. All vegetarian.
Great taste of Indian meal.
April 2025
Reasonable prices, warm atmosphere, courteous staff, and flavorful food

Vegetarian options: With the exception of one desert, the entire menu is vegan

Parking: Parking ranges from thirty minutes beside the restaurant to an hour along the street

Kid-friendliness: Good for kids but smaller tables
