Menu for Govinda's Vegetarian Lunch in Brooklyn, NY

This place is a gem, right here in downtown Brooklyn! I love how they make their rice with dal, and the cheesecake is amazing... too ???? Super healthy food too, but it's not just healthy vegetarian food; it tastes amazing, so anyone could enjoy! Staff isincredibly friendly too, and their paintings add to the peaceful vibe of the place. Read more

Def didn?t live up to ratings. I thought food would make up for ambiance but no. Everything is drenched in butter. The tomato... ?sauce? just tasted and felt like tomato paste with water. Beets seemed consistency of canned beats not home cooked Read more

I showed up a little bit after 2 pm on a Monday, and I wanted to go when there wasn?t as many people. A lot has changed since I... last went.. you have to buzz yourself in, the door is no longer open as before and no one wears masks. I thought they would atleast ventilate the place as much as possible, especially with all the viruses out now. They do now offer electronic options forpayment, which I guess is good, but not sure if they charge a fee. The BIGGEST loss is that there?s no free bread or freewater/juice like before. The place is DEFINITELY NOT what it used to be.. I bought two items, as I usually get when I go there,and the portions were always generous before. However, this is no longer the case? the tofu fillets were soggy andunderwhelming, and the peas with sweet potatoes were decent, but the portions leave a lot to be desired. You?ll be served thesmallest portions possible, and you now have to ask for chili pepper pickles to be served (you?ll get one or two pieces insteadof serving yourself as you wish) but maybe it?s because I showed up at an off day/time. You have to buy drinks, and it?s sadthat I thought they would at least offer a cup of water. I am not returning again, the value isn?t the same and it was a missin terms of food quality. Read more

Taste is great! everyday of the week there is special dish. Spinach lasagna was great! Like how the meal options was are divided... by number of items. This creates lot of flexibility based on our appetite. Read more

Special place to get your lunch. The cafeteria is downstairs, the temple and gift shop is on the first floor. You don't have to... be a vegetarian to eat here- the food is healthful and hearty -cooked with so much flavor and love. The dining hall plays quietHari Krishna music, it's a slow, gentle atmosphere. They always have deserts-everything is made with healthy ingredients. Credit cards or cash is accepted. Read more
