"Wonderful Vegan Options"   My Rating
5 redman_vf	Posted on: Tuesday, June 23, 2009
	Review: After moving to Tucson, it was nice to find myself very close to another Hare Krishna kitchen. They have several vegan options nightly and also have a vegan night on Thursday. Most items are clearly marked each night. On the last vegan night we attended there were two items not marked, when I inquired, the attendant said they were pretty sure one of the items was NOT vegan and was not sure about the other and recommended to avoid it since the cooks had left and he could not verify. So ask if you are not sure on vegan night, and hopefully they will be as friendly as they have been with any questions I have had. Sunday brunch is also wonderful with several options for vegans. No time have I eaten here and left hungry or unsatisfied. The food is a little more bland than Indian food you may be used to, but I would not call it bland. I would recommend this highly if you like this kind of food.   Pros: Items clearly marked * Outdoor dining option * Nice atmosphere Cons: Cost * *

"Great place!"   My Rating
7 Erin A.	Posted on: Wednesday, June 03, 2009
	Review: Govinda's has a great selection of vegetarian/vegan foods in a buffet style. I was skeptical at first because their menu online reminded me of the ones they have for school lunches. When my husband and I finally went for the first time we were pleasantly surprised by the amount of choices we had to eat that were not listed on the online menu. We have also taken our omni friends here and they raved about it. I have been a little disappointed with the quality of the daily specials in the past, but there are always plenty of other items to try. We have been here so many times in the past six months we already filled up our punch card for a free (or discounted?) meal. The atmosphere is also very "zen" with a koi fish pond, fountains, and exotic birds, I'm guessing because it is run by Hare Krishnas.   Pros: variety * price * atmosphere Cons: * *

"Not bad... not brilliant"   My Rating
2 jb012	Posted on: Friday, November 28, 2008
	Review: I went on a Saturday night. The place was virtually empty, which always concerns me. It was, however, slightly out of the way, being on a poorly-lit side road. The selection was fairly limited but what there was, was not bad. It was a little bland for my taste. As with other Indian restaurants in the US, they seem to cater for the lowest common demoninator! Also it was a little lukewarm. The grounds were nice and the people there, as with other Govinda's I've been to were very friendly. A nice addition to the Tucson veggie scene.   Pros: Good value * Healthy Food * Friendly Staff Cons: Too Bland * Lukewarm * A Bit out of the way.

"Delicious!"   My Rating

	Review: The food at Godvinda's is absolutely delicious!!! AND, it's wicked cheap! All-You-Can-Eat for under 8 bucks??? Not bad at all. I went on vegan night (though, I understand they have a number of vegan options EVERY night), and felt like such a pig. Trust me, if you are vegan, you will NOT be disappointed. I don't remember exactly what I ate -- I had a little of everything; it was all so good.   Pros: excellent food * friendly staff * cheap Cons: * *

"Not impressed"   My Rating
3 vegrebecca	Posted on: Wednesday, January 02, 2008
	Review: The grounds are nice and relaxing, the outside was beautiful. Once I went inside it had a very strong smell of incense, the inside was musky and it lead me to think about the sanitation quality. From the look of the buffet, the selection appeared simple like a typical salad bar. We decided not to eat there do to lack of selection and musky smell. It reminded me of a buddist monk house in San Francisco that I have been to where everyone took turns cooking that lived there. If it wasnt for the various unpleasent orders in the restaurant we might have tried the food.   Pros: * * Cons: * *
