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 :)

Govinda's is a great place to go either on your own or to meet friends and have something nutritious to eat. Govinda's serve real food, food which makes you feel like you are actually eating something for the first time in your life (depending upon your culinary history). The fresh puddings are wonderful but you can't arrive too late or they will have rightly sold out of them. It makes me happy when I go there because I know I'm contributing to a very worthy enterprise, run by people who are trying to bring more light into the world.
The food is served on those wonderful indian metal thali plates with the different segments pressed into them. The staff are welcoming and friendly but joyfully they leave you to get on with your life in your own way at the table. You can go there to forget about the woes of the world and enjoy a hearty meal.
They even have an excellent shop upstairs selling lots of Hare Krishna items such as illumining books, natural toiletries, incense and pictures amongst many other things. The entrance is to the right of the restaurant.
