Govinda's in Toronto

Ordered for Diwali, lovely food!

UNPROFESSIONAL We had a very disappointing experience at this place during Diwali. Although we anticipated some delay due to the Diwali rush, the service went beyond acceptable delays and felt unprofessional. Within 5 minutes of being seated, the waiter took our order, which included a snack and a thali. however, the wait for our food became increasingly long.... about 15 minutes later, a staff member walked around with a thali, asking each table if it belonged to them, clearly unsure where it was supposed to go. When I indicated that it might be ours, they just walked away without a word. Another 5 minutes passed, and we overheard a staff member informing someone that they had run out of rice, causing further delays for any dishes involving rice. This was already 20 minutes after we had placed our order. Worried that our order might have been missed, we approached the counter to double-check. We were reassured that our order was indeed in the system, so we went back to our table feeling slightly relieved. However, after yet another 5 minutes, we were losing patience... We saw a thali getting ready to be served and asked if it was ours, only to be told that it was not. When we mentioned that we would have to leave if there was further delay, the response was simply, Okay, I will cancel, without any sign of apology or effort to retain us as customers. In the end, we left and found another place to eat. There was no effort to keep us informed about the delays, no time estimate provided, and an overall lack of professionalism in handling the situation.

This was my first time having lunch here, and I have to say it will be my LAST. The server had a nasty smell of sweat that killed my appetite, and her unwelcoming attitude was off-putting and completely ruined my afternoon.

We had a delicious meal at Govinda s. The staff were kind and friendly. The lovely ambiance was highlighted by the beautiful music. It had been recommended as a hidden gem in Toronto and it is.

Amazing food, amazing vibe, amaaaazing gular jamun, must try for vegetarians. Loved it.

Beautiful ambience, delightful service and delicious sattvic vegetarian food. Very happy and grateful to have found this gem in Toronto

The food is delicious. Staffs super nice and Friendly. Overall super expensive, why? They said its a part of temple, TEMPLE and they will charge like 16$ for a thali and You cannot be Full instead McDonalds combo somehow makes your tummy full. Disturbed by the fact, even being located in spiritual place charging a lot is bad I guess. Even charging 16$ is okay but at least you can provide whatever the amount of rice and daal customer wants.

The food was good, could be better based on someone who has experienced Govindas London multiple times. What pained me to see was the girl serving really overwhelmed by work and the lady behind the counter not moving an inch to help the server. Talking to the server in a ruthless voice and seemed bullying. Won t be back after seeing this. I hope the authorities can improve the staff and their behaviour towards the people junior to them. Hare Krishna

This is the only place I get Indian food where I don t get acid reflux! The food is delicious - not too salty, or oily or overly spiced. It delicious and tastes home made with the intention of nourishing rather than entertaining. Also - $16 for a whole meal whaaaat! I treated two other friends for dinner last night and paid $60 in total

Dear Govindas Management Team, I hope this message finds you well. I recently had the opportunity to visit Govindas in Toronto, and as someone who has enjoyed dining at your London location, I had high expectations for my experience. Unfortunately, I was quite disappointed during my visit. I noticed that the server was being hurried and seemed to be under significant pressure from the lady behind the desk. This created an uncomfortable atmosphere, which, in my opinion, does not align with the values of kindness and respect that should be present in an establishment serving Lord Krishna. From my experience in the London branch, I have always appreciated the warm and welcoming environment you promote. It was disheartening to see a server who appeared to be overwhelmed and bullied, lacking the support they needed to provide a pleasant dining experience. I believe that cultivating a positive and respectful atmosphere is essential for both staff and patrons, especially in a place dedicated to serving the spiritual community. I suggest that more support and training be provided to the staff to ensure they feel empowered and valued while serving customers. A harmonious environment truly enhances the dining experience and reflects the love and devotion we all associate with the teachings of Krishna. This was on October 3rd around 6 pm after the aarti

Very peaceful ambience. We have one full thali and Kachori. Both reminded me of indian home made food.

Amazing food, and very good attention of Simran.

We ordered from this restaurant looking at the ratings which certainly are fake or reviewed by people who have never tasted Indian food. The Dhokla, Samosas, Aloo chaat and jalebi were the worst we have ever had. Kids back in India cook better food than this and this went straight into our dustbin.

I went few months back and ordered the combo plate.. the dal was tasteless.. the food in gnl lacked flavour. I had acid reflux rest of the night:( Ambience is too dark like a bar. Service is dull Food

Just want to share an experience ordering from the Google maps app online. Somehow the order went to Hungry Panda ordering system and I got confirmation email that good is being prepared and will be ready in 15 mins. I reached the place in 30 mins and the restaurant told me they dont see my order and dont have Hungry Panda as provider. I hope I dont get charged as the order was not completed.

I have been coming here my whole life and I love it! The best vegetarian in all of the GTA.

Food is good but quantity of rotis in the veg thali should be increased to two plus raita. It s not enough as of now.also, the roti thickness should be increased, right now, they re too thin hence not filling. Taste is good.

Awesome Sattvic food .

Had some chaat, samosas , and kachori on Monday. The best I ve ever tried!!

Beautiful place, but food wasnt properly heated. The curry was literally cold. Waiters wouldnt pay attention much when you call them. And the dessert felt like it was boxed dessert from the grocery store. Unfortunately the food didnt meet my expectations...

Amazing food and excellent service by Simran, Mondira, Sathi. Will surely visit again.

One of the best Indian satvik food place! The food is so simple yet so so delicious!!! Hands down the best and one of its kind!!!! Must recommend! They have vegan menu as well which makes them so accommodating for vegan community!! Recommend 100000% Vegetarian options: 100% pure veg satvik food Dietary restrictions: Vegan options

One stop solution for your Homemade food hunger So simple food with authentic flavours

Good place. Very neat and clean Good simple food Pure vegetarian Food : 4/5

Loved the food and the divine ambience. 100% would recommend it.

One of best places to be served Lord Shri Krishnas blessed prasad/food. Taste, quality of food and ambience are top notch. Thank you to, Matajis and Prabhus who serve the Lord through their offering. Prasad is truly blissful blessing.

I regularly order from Govinda s as this is the only vegetarian option But today we got complete stale food on the meal and it was smelling bad. I am not going to order from them anymore

This restaurant has great tasting vegetarian food in a very serene, relaxing and tranquil environment. It s an experience ha ha you are the restaurants in the city replicate. Definitely worth visiting!

Amazing highly recommend the Raj kachori and Thali.

Excellent vegetarian blessed food, its not oil, feels home made, very calming ambience and best of all you can visit their beautiful Temple too!

As a devoted carnivore, my typical meal revolves around meat and grains. Ive eaten at a number of vegetarian restaurants, but I often find vegetarian meals unsatisfying, feeling as though Im eating an elaborate side dish without the main course. So I usually avoid vegetarian spots when I can. However, tonight I tried Govindas, and one word sums up the experience: extraordinary. The dishes at Govindas were unlike any Indian cuisine Ive had before. Each one was not only delicious but also blended flavors and textures in a way that made the meal feel complete. For the first time in my life, I ate a truly satisfying meatless meal. That alone puts Govindas in contention for my list of favorite restaurants. I am definitely planning on returning.

This is among the best spots in the city while also being one of its best kept secrets! Food is always fantastic - fresh, full of flavour and the aromas are absolutely delightful. Each bite is fragrant and full of life! I love the veg thali and the pakoras are my favourite snack. I ve dined in for lunch, taken out for dinner - it s always a hit. If you love Indian food, get over to Govindas. And if you don t, you will after you try it here ;).

We had ordered veg thali. There was only one chapati and that was also not cooked well. It looks like they use ready made tortillas and serve them. Paneer sabji was also not good. It was like made from GIT ready to cook. And samosa was the worst of them. Definitely not worth.

Pathetic stale food. Ordered 2 thalis and dined in. Horrible stale food served that was cold as ice and filled with soda. Shame on you all for screwing the name of ISKON.

The service and food was good

The food was full of aroma ,we enjoyed it. Hare Krishna,Jaigurudev.

The roti was frozen food. Servers were rude and inattentive. I even got up and went to the counter to ask and pay the bill but they were still ignoring me and chatting with their friends. Great atmosphere and the lentil and curry was great but unfortunately the servers looked like they didn t want to do this job.

The service in this restaurant is par excellence and food is very well priced. service by Sri is really awesome and courteous. Highly recommend this restaurant.

Really like this restaurant. Vegetarian options: A lacto-vegetarian restaurant. Food : 5/5 |

The best vegan restaurant at such an amazing price I have ever seen. Try it and youll be addicted to it

A place of refuge in the business of this world. Delicious and nourishing food and atmosphere. Thank you!

I always come back here for good food and atmosphere

Excellent food. The butter paneer, and the Manchuria are my absolute favorites. I also love the kachori, a must try! The manager Sri is also wonderful, caring, and attentive. Great experience.

Hello I just wanted to tell you are serving at biggest temple and why you guys can t do customization your manager says no like if someone has wheat allergy and don t want to eat roti and can take chawal instead. Same like i tell you manager that i don t eat daal because i don t eat can i take anything else instead of that he said no customization i told him i don t want to waste food i will pay more but please do customization. He is so rigid and arrogant i don t why you guys at devotion place you are doing business. Taking money is not at all problem but at aleast compensate with customer. Owner please allow him to customization

I really like atmosphere and tasty food. All meals are vegetarian. Vegetarian options: I am like Indian food. Tasty and healthy Food : 5/5 |

We have been going to Govinda restaurant since few years. In past year we dined there 2 times a month. Service is excellent, great atmosphere, excellent food. If you like Indian food, vegetarian, not too spicy Govinda is the best place. Good menus at reasonable prices. Vegetarian options: Good variety, choices on menu for any taste Parking: Parking on street, free.

Kachori chaat is pretty good. Homemade feeling, very simple and delicious.

I would to thank one of your female server she was so nice and humble i really like her service. I really recommend to go this place

Good food.

Amazing food with amazing staff, especially the manager who was super kind and very friendly. I have come here multiple times with different set of friends and everytime we end up commending the service of this restaurant.

Really pleasant evironment. Clean and cozy. Wonderful service. People serving us were really good and made sure we were comfortable. Loved the food.

If you are looking for tasty, vegetarian and vegan meals that feels like home cooked in a reasonable price then Govindas is the right place for you. Apart from the amazing food you also get a zen atmosphere and music which is perfect if you like to get yourself out from the hustle bustle of the city restaurants. The servers there are cherry on the top especially Srikanth who helped me with my order. He was very friendly and helped me to choose dishes according to what I was looking for.

I absolutely love this place! The food is incredible, you must try their desserts. The service is impeccable, especially from Sri!

Having a few places with food variety near my place is great. Potato samosas with chapati combo with paneer is my to go. And love bringing my friends to join me at the restaurant because of the friendly and relatable stuff.

I visited this place last Sunday; it has a very serene vibe. I was initially hesitant to go because I was concerned that too much religious drama would be imposed, but the management is really accepting and respectful.I watched the manager handle with very difficult clients in a calm and respectful manner, and he apologized to the other customers who may have been disturbed as a result of those problematic people. Those who want to enjoy the flavor of authentic Indian cuisine in a serene environment should visit this restaurant.

Great food and great service!! Sri was great and he helped me find what i was looking for! Highly recommend veg thali.

I have been regularly visiting this eatery for 5 years now . I must say the food, taste and quality, ambience and congeniality of the man who manages this place are above excellence. The moment you step inside he welcomes you and makes you feel at home all the more symbolic as this place is housed in the same property as the temple or house of the Lord Krishna! The cleanliness and the decor are a sheer plus. The staff are all best trained and exhibit sheer excellence in what they are expected to do. I strongly recommend anyone visiting the temple to come and eat here

Amazing food and great hospitality, friendly staff and really good service by Sri.

Food and service is amazing, every visit feels so relaxing.

Customer service and food is excellent, its a must-visit for anyone who loves Indian cuisine.

I had a fantastic experience at this restaurant ! The atmosphere is cozy, and the food is outstanding fresh, flavourful, and beautifully presented. The staff were friendly and attentive, and the manager, made sure we felt right at home.!

Great food. Best of all was the service by the staff, the manager Sri welcomed us and made us feel right at home. Definitely coming back!

I love coming to Govindas for lunch. The food is delicious and the staff are friendly and caring, especially Sri. Would love to see some more plants or other things that make the large space a bit more home-y, but otherwise, Im looking forward to my next visit very soon. Vegetarian options: I feel great knowing that everything is vegetarian and well prepared. Makes me proud to eat at Govindas knowing Im protecting our climate while enjoying delicious flavours.

Best satvik food and the people working were very kind any helpful to me

I ve been dining here for over 15 +years travelling to india every year for business for the past 30 years the taste /quality/ambience of Indian food at Govinda is at good as it gets ..a must to experience., the waiter Sri is the most pleasant person.. Food : 5/5

I used to frequently go to Govindas restaurant in India and loved the experience. After coming to Canada, this was my first time trying Govindas, but unfortunately, the service provided by the staff members was very poor. Few of the staff members were busy on their phones and never bothered to check if the customer wanted anything or not.

I recently visited Govindas for lunch with a friend and we both decided to try the thali. I was pleasantly surprised by the variety of curries offered, especially the cauliflower sabzi a dish that stood out even though Im usually not a fan of cauliflower! The highlight for me was the delicious gulab jamun; I could have easily indulged in more if I wasn t watching my macros. During our visit, we had the opportunity to chat with the manager, who was not only friendly but also very informative. He shared that the menu changes daily, which I think adds a wonderful element of surprise to the dining experience. I m definitely looking forward to coming back to see what Govindas has in store on my next visit!

I highly recommend Govinda s to everyone! The food is so yummy and there is lot of variety in their Veg Thali. My son specially wish to come here as he likes paneer sabji at this place. Shri is very humble and takes care of everyone with a smile on his face. You cant go wrong for the price for the ambience, quality and taste of food. 5 stars for sure:-)

I have a veg meal and I have specified in the order please provide utensils for 2 time because I am in my office but then also you didn t provide the utensils. Dude read the instructions carefully and this is the second time back to back

Yesterday I came after the Aarti to try the food of the restaurant. It was really a great experience service by the three girls on the counters was excellent, even the food I ordered daal, rice and sabji with roti was delicious and the roti it was exactly what we used to eat back in India at home. Surely gonna came back to try all other things.

Very calm place to enjoy a meal..Staff very friendly

I have been a regular customer at Govindas. The atmosphere of the restaurant is so peaceful and the food that is served here tastes amazing and is beyond my expectations. The meals are jain friendly are served fresh. The service is always quick and perfect.

Great food, reminds of home

Fast and friendly service with a lot of great options. It s so nice to have a vegetarian restaurant in the neighbourhood. Worth the walk at lunchtime!

I come here weekly! Delicious food and amazing atmosphere

amazing home cooked veggie and vegan food at impossibly competitive prices! the temple is a serene space and govinda s is a tranquil sound bath. our waiter was lovely and the food was tasty

This is my favourite place for vegetarian food in the area with great food and great ambience. I usually get takeouts but its good for dine in as well. And its also great for regular visits as every day the sabji (sides) is a bit different.

Govinda is a great restaurant, especially for vegetarians and vegans (most dishes are dairy free, I guess, but do check!) . Ive been a fan of the place for the last 3 years! And and, in the year, 2024, you can have a hearty meal for less than $15 in downtown Toronto. Sri is great at helping with the meal options! Dishes that I love over there, all dishes are in rotation based on season: - Okra-potato AKA bhindi aaloo ! In both south Indian style with curry leaves or the north Indian style cooked in chick-pea flour. - Baingan aaloo (Eggplant / Aubergine and potatoes) - Paneer - Kofta curry Everything tastes like back home.....! Snacks: - Kachori - Aaloo tikki Dont forget to check out the sweet dishes and Dhoklaa for take out, they are kept in the fridge at the back of the counter! Vegetarian options: All things are vegetarian. Most are vegan as well - except paneer dishes, most dishes probably dont have any dairy. Do check , Sri is very helpful with understanding the menu.

All sixteen members of our family visited govindas restaurant for dinner. They had already reserved and so pleasant to receive us to take Krishna prasad. They served like a family member and it was like home away from home. Food was delicious and we were all happy and satisfied with the quality of food and service

Great vegetarian food restaurant!

The curry isnt spicy! April 2/24- the location is in a really relaxing area! My family came here to celebrate my mommas upcoming birthday and this place is in a holy building! The entire family came with but the atmosphere was so calming well try to come back cause this place is amazing!

Overpriced frozen food served. I ordered a samosa platter and it was a disgust to be served with frozen samosas which did not even taste good. Staff was hardly hospitable or amicable.

I visited this amazing vegetarian restaurant on the occasion of Mahashivratri. The ambience is simply amazing. The candles look great. Their menu is short and sweet. Prices are extremely reasonable.I think they don t use onion s & garlic in their preparations. I ordered: 1. Samosa chaat: It was samosa with chickpeas and chutneys. They don t add curd or onions. It was good but I ll ask to reduce sweet sauce next time. 2. Kachori: It was good but bit dry as such to eat and they serve kachori chaat only on Sat & Sun. The staff was very friendly. It was the first time I wasn t asked to tip in Toronto. I would totally recommend Govinda s to everyone.

Vegetarian options: Pure vegetarian restaurant Food

Great service. Amazing food. MUST TRY 10/10 Food

Simple, yet great tasting vegan options in a beautiful setting next to a temple. Friendly staff. Vegetarian options: The vegetarian thali comes in a vegan option.

Delicious!! Thali is good value very homey taste

I ordered kachori,dhokla,laddu,mathura peda and kofta curry on uber eats and the food was the worse food i could ever taste. The laddu and mathura peda had gone bad and smelled bad. The dhokla was cold and soggy with lots of oil. Kachori was little below average and i got paneer curry instead of kofta and it was damn sweet. I didnt feel like i was eating a curry. I tried calling the restaurant 6 times and no one ever answered to my calls.

Simple, lovely food served in a comfortable space with attentive service. Would definitely be back for a mid-week meal.

Amazing Indian vegan/vegetarian food, always offering high quality ingredients and great portion sizes.

The place is very warm and welcoming. The food here never lets me miss home. You should definitely visit the temple and the restaurant whenever you get a chance!

Liked the food and overall service of staff.

Great service and great food. Over all it was a good experience.

I am regular here. The restaurant serves delicious and authentic Indian food. The service is excellent and the dining area has a very peaceful ambience.

Indian thali is a must have! Comes with two curries, one daal, rice, chapati, dessert and samosa. Good to have home food away from home. They don t serve caffeine so don t ask :)

Best vegetarian food in the area!

Tasty food, excellent service and blissful environment. Must visit!

Thank you for the Nice service!

Perfect veg restaurant in the middle of downtown Toronto. Gulab jamun melted inside mouth and taste remained for very long increasing the cravings for more. Everything else on menu was delicious. Service was sincere and prompt. Atmosphere is peaceful as restaurant is within Iskon premises. So enchanting. Definitely a goto restaurant for any occasion.

Skip description says A pack of five vegetable samosas. I got four vegetable samosas.

It is one of the finest restaurants in Toronto. Must visit this beautiful place.

If you want to eat divine food with peace and joy, please visit this place. Excellent quality and quantitiy food. Thank you iskon and thank you whoever working in the kitchen.

Amazing

Visited Govindas on a day trip downtown (living in the suburbs) and the food really lived up to expectations! Follow the signs and when you find the entrance, keep walking straight and thats where the restaurant is. Will absolutely go back when I am in the area again :)

Plenty of pure vegetarian options without onion and garlic Vegetarian options: No onion no garlic Food : 5/5 |

Govindas food is super delicious. All vegetarian and vegan options, which is great for vegans and vegetarians. The spices are just perfect, neither too little nor too much, unlike most other Indian restaurants that use too many spices. Especially for people who like home cooked food, they will love it. Tried pakoras, veggie thali with rice, chapati, daal and kofta. The flavors were superb. Everything just perfect. Also had rasmalai which was again super tasty. They also have packed kulfi, which is not prepared by this restaurant and which was the only thing not good. They should either stop selling it or change the brand. Rest everything is 100%. Service, food, divine place. Highly recommended. Vegetarian options: Very tasty 100% vegetarian food. Kid-friendliness: The food is just perfect for kids without too many spices and super delicious.

I recently had the pleasure of eating at Govindas. Please give my compliments to the chef, the food was delicious! I was blown away by the fast service and the friendliness of the staff. The atmosphere is so calm and serene. I especially appreciated how spread out the tables are - its nice to have conversations with everyone at the table without having to scream like I do at other restaurants with extremely loud music and crammed tables. So, thank you!

There thali is so fulfilling and the prices are ok too. I love the ambience.

A perfect place for Indian food lovers. I ve been here for more than 5 times now. Same taste, same service, same aroma, in every visit. Staff is super friendly as well. One little suggestion: please add chana and dal as separate items in the menu.

Great good. Great energy. Disappointed in the amount of plastic waste. There must be an alternative that isnt so wasteful. This has got to be part of our spiritual practice of providing & consuming food. Ram Ram

I had this on my radar for some time and finally went in about a month ago. I have been going weekly ever since. This place is magical. The food is healthy, healing, delicious, and comforting. I always get the vegan Thali and it is always mind-blowing. The staff emanate kindness and serve you in a way that makes you feel truly special. Sitting down to lunch here in the middle of a busy work day brings me much peace and happiness. Thank you Govindas. Hare Krishna!

A hidden gem. Great food, calming atmosphere, kind staff. Would come again and again

Lovely place with very good food! We visited the place today and the food was super delicious! The spice levels were just right and even my children liked the food very much. Best place to go for tasty home style vegetarian food.

Great good. Good service. No frills saatvik experience.

Great customer service at Govinda s. Shri was wonderful and very kind during our visit. The food is homely and tasty too.

Good smile Indian food, loved it!

Excellent food and service. I will visit again for sure. Vegetarian options: One of the best restaurant for vegetarian food. Highly recommended. Food : 5/5 |

This place is great! Atmosphere is chill and cool but the staff is also really friendly. They know what they re doing and what they re talking about as they make great recommendations, and you can tell making the customers happy is their main priority. Food is pretty good, and for their prices it s 100% worth it. A special shout out to Mr. Shrikant, the restaurant manager whose top priority is customer satisfaction without any compromise.

the food was delicious!

If I could give this Indian restaurant more than 5 stars, I absolutely would! My dining experience here was nothing short of outstanding, and I am already counting down the days until I can return. From start to finish, everything about this place left me in awe. First and foremost, the service was impeccable. As soon as we stepped in, we were warmly greeted by the staff, who radiated genuine hospitality. They were incredibly attentive and knowledgeable about the menu, making excellent recommendations based on our dietary preferences. Its rare to find a restaurant where the staff is so passionate and enthusiastic about the food they serve. Now, lets talk about the food - prepare to have your taste buds taken on a remarkable journey! The menu offers an array of mouthwatering vegan Indian dishes that beautifully blend traditional flavors with innovative twists. Every dish we ordered was a masterpiece, bursting with vibrant colors and aromas. The chefs attention to detail was evident in each plate presented before us. The appetizers were a delightful start to the culinary adventure - the samosas were perfectly crisp, and the pakoras were heavenly. For the main course, we indulged in a variety of dishes, including the aromatic and richly spiced Chana Masala, the velvety smooth and flavorful Dal Makhani, and the exquisite Baingan Bharta that had just the right balance of smokiness and creaminess. The naan bread deserves a special mention; it was soft, fluffy, and baked to perfection. And for dessert, we were treated to a heavenly vegan version of Gulab Jamun, leaving us in awe of how they managed to create such a delectable twist on a classic favorite. The ambiance of the restaurant was warm and inviting, creating a cozy atmosphere for a memorable dining experience. Whether youre a seasoned vegan or someone trying plant-based cuisine for the first time, this restaurant caters to all palates with its diverse and delectable menu.

great food and overall experience!

Delicious

Ate at Govinda s for the first time and what a beautiful and a peaceful place and the food is so good. Reminds you of your home cooked meals. The service is good and there is also a temple in the premises if you want to worship. We ordered their Full Thali which costs 12.95 without tax and they charge you for extra roti s and rice but the whole thali in all was fulfilling. The food is satvik which promotes a good health and I would totally recommend it. Vegetarian options: 100% Satvik food and vegan and vegetarian options.

Food is below standard and their service is horrible. If you really want to enjoy low cost indian food then visit little India on Gerrard street east.

Good food..would have been more tasty if it were warm and hot

Amazing place with delicious food! Very affordable food. Sri who manages this restaurant is so friendly and kind! Food : 5/5

Oh I love this place! The mood and atmoshphere is friendly and welcoming. Sri is so humble and renders such wonderful service. They also have a very nice temple in the same building. The deities at the temple are really pretty! Anyone who is reading this must visit!

Very good place. The food served is very healthy and tasty. Service is really good. Visited this beautiful place with my family and loved the vibe. Must visit.

Whenever I am in downtown or simply hungry I head over to govindas. Never disappoint.. everyday a different selection. Freshly prepared daily.. must visit. Kid-friendliness: Kids welcomed

Hare Krishna Govindas name itself give a positive and a special vibe that we will have a best prasadam served by the god place feels awesome sitting in temple next to Radhakrishna next door and having this amazing prasadam which elevates us to another step to spiritual enlightenment and spiritual awakening Hare Krishna to all the Mataji and Prabhuji for your best service ,The best Prasadam varieties of dishes and freshly served Thank you Hari Bol

Great place clean good customer service Hare Krishna

Best vegetarian restaurant in the city!

I love the food at Govindas. The food is so delicious, and the best part is that its pure vegetarian food. The quantity and quality are the best. Food

Amazing food. Calm and peaceful environment. Must visit!

I really love the food here. I could literally eat here every day and stay healthy eating out. Its not super heavy and greasy like the usual restaurants. I particularly love their dal. I could (and have) eat it straight with a spoon like it was a soup.

Good fresh vegetarian food made daily. Being satvik, the food is prepared without garlic and onions. They do have vegan options, but like they say plant based, it s not a vegan restaurant!! Little disappointed that they stopped making vegan Gulab jamuns. For $15 a limited Thali it s not very cheap, but it s wholesome. One time serve with one roti and one Farshan and one dessert. They make the food in morning and is used for both meal times; lunch and dinner. The samosas were mediocre but the khasta kachori was delicious. Their green chutney was very flavourful. Vegetarian options: Food made without onion garlic, vegetarian with vegan options Dietary restrictions: Not a vegan restaurant but they do have vegan dishes in the Thali

The place is amazing for vegetarians. As it is next to Iskcon temple and run by temple management itself, food is fresh and tasty. No onion no garlic Tried their samosa chaat and kachori on the go, both were very tasty and fresh. Only thing which I would suggest is for ambience to be bit better, it is quite dull and dark place, looks like no effort on lighting and painting

It was amazing. Couldn t imagine this would be so good in Toronto

Vegetarian options: I had no idea vegetarian food could be so filling and delicious. Very, very satisfied!!! Food : 5/5

The go to place for vegetarian Indian food

Hearty Indian Thali - great dal

Pure taste of Satvik food. Must try Gulab jamun

Very good food and very helpful+kind staff. Only bad thing was that I found a dead fly in my Gulabjaman but the staff apologized and replaced it. It was a good experience overall

Amazing fresh and vegetarian food. You can also dine in or take you. Its close around 8.30 pm please if its possible open till 10.

This is the one of the bests vegetarian restaurant at such a reasonable price. The restaurant staff is so welcoming, warm and sweet. We really loved the thalli, which is so healthy. Loved the gulabjamun and pakoras as well. Highly recommend and must visit.

Prasad was amazing and the dining atmosphere reminded me of Indian temples and culture. Hare Krishna

This is one of those places in heart of Toronto where Indian culture blends with aroma, taste and finest vegetarian food, makes us we all Indians remember: that what it takes to deliver great food. Awesome for every Indian to have food and darshan of Lord Jai Shri Krishna, the temple is just beside the restaurant and glad to see our JSK.! Jai Shri Radhe ! Krupa Na Sabar Ne Karuna Ni Dhaam Ne: May god bless everyone with food ! May JSK bless everyone who have been providing this valuable service at this restaurant. Vegetarian options: Only Vegetarian food, no meat , no chicken , no eggs, purely vegetarian ! Mantra : before eating good food, recite Jai Shri Krishna Sharnam Mamah ! Jai Nathdwara ! Aaj ke anand ki jai !

Definitely come here for delicious veggie food! Nice atmosphere and calming music! Would 100% come back! Food

Nice and peaceful atmosphere.

Less menu options. Simple and homely food. Prices on higher side.

When I need an Indian food fix that reminds me of home, this is it. Its affordable and definitely filling, Infact, I usually share one thali between two people and just get extra roti and rice on the side. Food : 5/5

Best vegetarian place in Toronto at an affordable price. The quality of food, service and ambience is very good.

Its one of the best vegetarian restaurants in the city. Theyre providing great service and food.

Incredible food, even the picky omnivore liked it ! AMAZING serving sizes at a very low price (thali, not buffet). The atmosphere was very nice and relaxing. The waiters gave very good service and were very nice. Would come again.

Good quality food

Very beautiful building and the food was good and reasonably priced. However, I cannot really recommend this place to eat-in. There are no plates and all the food came in plastic trays or paper plates, with plastic cutlery. There was also no tap water to drink, only bottled. Presumably there is some limit in their kitchen to do dishes but it felt very wasteful and also really hurt the presentation of the dishes. Nice staff though.

Nice place to enjoy food peacefully

Every meal is a delight. Vegetarian options: Delicious Food : 5/5 |

The best place Ive ever been for a meal. Superb environment, amazing vibes and delicious food.

Got their thali and vegetable rice in really late night alongside some roti Reasonable price Thali comes with traditional dal and 2 curries with gulab jamun on side, roti is okay, dal is best I had in long time but curries are not even close to be edible Would prefer trying some other dishes next time

Delicious vegiterian food, clean and beautiful restaurant, welcoming atmosphere. Therebis a number of delicious meals, hard to pick what you would like. Highly recommended! There is a beautiful interior as well. Vegetarian options: You will find meals without onions and garlic there.

If you want a quiet, peaceful place to eat veg foos, this is the place to go.

First class home cooked food!

Beautiful place for family and friends to come, eat and chat. Very good food Jain/Swaminarayan food. Parking can be an issue.

It s a restaurant located inside ISKCON temple. Say your prayers and enter the restaurant to eat really good indian food. Not too spicy and made using least amount of spices. Vegetarian options: Only vegetarian restaurant Parking: Free limited street parking for max 1Hr
