Review: Govinda's is a very popular Hare Krishna Vegetarian restaurant on Columbo St. in downtown. Govinda's, I have to say, caters more for vegetarian than vegans because the lunch special is NOT vegan but only vegetarian. Vegetarians can get a large, tasty meal at a cheap price, while vegans are left ordering from what's already prepared. My complaint is that the vegan things are pre-made and dropped up by a buisness. I did not think my food was very fresh because I had to order the vegan burger from the cabinet and it had not been made at the reatuarnt. My meal, since I am vegan, was also nowhere near as filling or as cheap as the vegetarian buffet offered.

Review: Govindas is great for a quick cheap lunch, when you're hungry. You can't really beat that for price and quantity, for vege food in Christchurch.
 
Pros: good value * central city * only a $1 for a refil
Cons: no protein substitute * doesn't vary much from day to day. *

Review: Price for lunch is now 6 NZ$ (1 NZ$ for refill) and can be ordered vegan as well. Perfect for a quick lunch if you hit the tight opening hours!! Yummy vegan muffins!! (tried strawberry-cream and apple-walnut-date so far)

 
Pros: Good value * Friendly staff * Muffins :)
Cons: Small choice * opening hours *
