Review: When you're hungry and stuck in town, Govindas is the perfect place to go - you'll have a big, healthy delicious meal and you won't feel disappointed or ripped off like if you'd had to get something from one of the mall food courts.
Good value for money and yummy!

 
Pros: large serving * healthy * good value
Cons: noisy * *

Review: We love it here and visit as much as possible whenever in Brisbane. I don't consider the regligious ownership a con, as there is never any attempt to impose it or even talk about it to you unless you ask. The Hares are so friendly and happy it's a joy to be around them and eat their food - not to mention it is delicious and satisfying and great value for money. The place also has great atmosphere. Get here before 1pm if you prefer not to queue.
 
Pros: Great food and plenty of it * Happy vibes * Cheap
Cons: * *

Review: I can't count how many times I've eaten here, I must have eaten a thousand of those pakoras. This place was my staple at University.

The food is always good, but beware every now and then they have a none vegan main. I just say vegan when I order and they know not to put the yoghurt sauce on the salad. Also the desserts aren't vegan.

You can go back as many times as you like until you are full. Usually I ask for extra pakoras with the delicious tomato sauce they put on them.

I've eaten at Hare Krishna restaurants in Melbourne and London, but after the pakoras at Govinda's in Brisbane they dissappoint a little.

A gem. Yay for cults.

 
Pros: Pakora's * All you can eat * Central
Cons: Religious * *

Review: Its right in the city so its a perfect location for lunch. $9 for a buffet plate, with a bottomless cup of lemon mint cooler. The food is standard Krishna fare, as well-made as you'd find anywhere. Plenty of non-vegos eat there simply on account of the fact that you're unlikely to find a filling meal anywhere else for $9. Heartily recommended.
 
Pros: Good food * great value *
Cons: * *

• Hi Mistikiel, I found your review very helpful. It sounds like this Govindas is quite good. I know some other ones in different cities get mixed reviews.. response by Jeffrey
