Delicious and surprising restaurant tucked into Richmond. Food was mostly takeout but they had a few tables too. I got the rice, dal, samosas. All amazing! Only a couple vegetarian items on the menu. Everything else is vegan.
January 2026
Just discovered the most WONDERFUL Indian vegan restaurant: GOVINDA. Super delicious. Super cheap. A little hole in the wall off the beaten track with food made from a scratch by priests of the local Hindu Temple. And they donate and personally distribute food to the homeless in Richmond!
Support them - your heart and belly will thank you!

The food was very good the portion size was great. Not many places in Richmond offer dosa when getting Indian food. Dosa is great visiting in rishikesh so I ordered one here and it was phenomenal. They offer services for the community in the Krishna house behind the building on certain hours. Updated from previous review on 2025-09-21
