Govindas

My husband and I went to this restaurant today. We both had the thali, one small, one large, the food was plentiful. The price for a sit down meal was excellent, being vegetarian it is very hard to find restuarants reasonably priced. around London. Govindas tick all the right boxes, will visit this restaurant again and recommend to friends and family.

A very strict vegetarian and a pescatarian were in search of some much needed food one december afternoon. Govinda's provided us with very full bellies on the cheap.

I had a spinach, tomato and cheese lasagne (egg free pasta, so it meant I ddin't have to worry about the origin of the eggs) with a wholemeal roll which was wonderfully filling and although I normally cook with lots of spice, this was refreshing. I had the choice to have it cold or hot.

My boyfriend had one of the many veggie curries with chapatis and brown rice. He cleared his bowl and enjoyed the food. had we not been so full, we would have attempted desert. For the both of us, it cost about a tenner, and the food was great. The interior is unfussy, and the staff are friendly. Take-out options are also available

Simple, fresh, nutritious home-made like food served with devotion!

As Indian vegetarians craving for home-made food, this place is our favourite and we have always left with a feeling of satisfaction. We've tried most of the things here and would recommend their ''thali''.

Although the food is bland (in line with the Hare Krsna philosophy) compared to the average Indian fare, but nevertheless very tasty. Plus there is a range of fresh EGGLESS desserts daily to choose from which are good. Excellent value for money too!

I usually pop into Govindas for a quick lunch if I'm in the West End. The food is cheap and cheerful (though the staff are often pretty miserable).

It isn't somewhere I would take someone for any kind of occasion as metal plates and canteen service don't make for atmosphere, but the location is great and the price makes it hard to gripe.

If there is better value in London I have yet to find it. If you are on a budget then this is the place to go.

The thali is particularly good value and is much more like real Indian vegetarian food than is served in your average Indian restaurant in England (one exception being Resa in Stoke Newington)

However I agree with the comments that it is a little bland,contains less salt and no chili although some heat comes from ginger and mustard seed.

But at £15 for two with pappadoms thrown in I'm not complaining!

Located in Central London, little vegetarian restaurant with a 'food for the soul'.

Simple and very delicious Indian dishes.

Simple deco, not too expensive.

Love it :)
