A spiritual, canteen-style vegetarian institution in Soho serving hearty, karma-free Indian plates on the cheap.
Ordering Strategy
Grab a tray, join the queue, and don't skip the condiment station for the banana chutney.
What to order
Thali
Described as the 'headline acts' of the restaurant, these 'pure' meat-free platters offer a regularly changing selection of curries, soups, and breads.
Govinda’s Extravaganza
A massive platter featuring a 'whopping 12 items' that is 'perfect for sharing' and offers a diverse balance of heat, sweetness, and textures.
Chili Paneer
The 'real pick of the plate' with 'generous amounts of cheese' in a 'deeply spiced tomato and cumin sauce' that counters any notion that sattvic food lacks flavor.
Banana Chutney
An 'excellent sweet and sour accompaniment' with a 'homemade feel' that stands out as a unique condiment option.

Good to know
This is a strictly alcohol-free and meat-free zone (Sattvic diet: no onion, garlic, or mushrooms). It operates like a cafeteria attached to the Hare Krishna temple.
