"Spicy food, try the plate menu"   My Rating
6 Jirko	Posted on: Friday, August 14, 2009
	Review: Hare Krishna food. The food was pretty spicy even sometimes a bit too spicy for my taste buds. The menu plates give you nice big portions for a very decent price. It is located in a cellar but it can be very hot inside.   Pros: * * Cons: * *

"Bad mood"   My Rating
5 juniorcm	Posted on: Friday, July 17, 2009
	Review: If you want to find bad mood in Budapest, here's the place! I just asked the attendant "what dishes didn't carry pepper" and she didn't know. Then, she began to treat me like if i was asking here to borrow me 10.000 euros. I ended eating a small portion of rice and a poori, which was tasteless. Later, i asked her a knife (they just gave me a fork!), and the bad mood showed up again. Also, i went there on a sunny 36C day, and the place was hot as a branch of hell.   Pros: no pros, really * * Cons: bad mood * hot pepper in everything *

"Loved this place"   My Rating
3 Jaymie	Posted on: Tuesday, February 24, 2009
	Review: This restaurant is fantastic and the food is great. You can choose between a thali (small or big) where the food is chosen for you or you can choose individual item. Price is very reasonable too and the staff are friendly, only one person spoke English though.   Pros: Good big portions * Friendly staff * Tasty food Cons: Hard to find * Have to walk down steps to get in *

"We had high hopes,"   My Rating
18 marnia	Posted on: Tuesday, January 13, 2009
	Review: We had the "big plate", which I enjoyed, my partner didnt like it much though. It seemed a mix of Hungarian and Indian, In hindsight I would rather have stuck to the Indian . I would have liked to try other dishes, I certainly felt the Indian ones looked better than ours. The staff were friendly.   Pros: * * Cons: * *

"not for vegans"   My Rating
1 brockola	Posted on: Thursday, June 05, 2008
	Review: We arrived late in the evening to be told quite sharply they were just closing. We said we would be back as we had only just arrived in Budapest and asked what vegan food they served as my partner is vegan. We were told in a very unfriendly manner 'no vegan - we use ghee'. This is the worst branch of Govindas we have ever encountered in our many holidays in Europe and it is definitely not recommended - particularly for vegans.   Pros: * * Cons: * *

"Govinda, Budapest"   My Rating
167 Stevie	Posted on: Sunday, May 04, 2008
	Review: I have eaten in many branches of Govinda but I must say that as a vegan vegetarian I found this place a massive disappointment. I asked what they could do for me as a vegan vegetarian and I was given the choice of rice and salad. Everything else is cooked in butter ghee. My friend had more than I did and said that he found the food pleasantly palatable. The girl who served me spoke English (my Hungarian is abysmal so this was a help). Veggie Express is just around the corner and is infintely better if you are a vegan veggie like me.   Pros: Central * * Cons: Very limited vegan veggie choice * Closed Sundays *

"Nice restaurant near chain bridge"   My Rating
7 joylolade	Posted on: Sunday, February 03, 2008
	Review: I visited this restaurant in January 2008, and enjoyed the food. The restaurant does not use egg, onion, or garlic in any of its foods. For this reason, the food may taste bland in comparison to foods served at other Indian restaurants. However, if this fits your diet, then you will enjoy the food. The beet root salad is very good. They also have desserts, but I did not try them. In the back of the restuarant are a yoga studio and a small shop, which sells some clothing, incense, natural soaps, and spiritual books (in Hungarian).   Pros: Hare Krishna * good value * friendly staff Cons: busy during lunch * *

"Vegans may struggle!"   My Rating
25 kamikazeki d	Posted on: Wednesday, October 10, 2007
	Review: Govinda's is in a really nice part of the city, easy to find (don't bump your head as you descend the stairs!!) and has a great atmosphere. It's also pretty cheap and has good food. The only drawback we found was it seemed to have cheese in all the main meals offered (pizza, cheese and vegetable pasta etc). Shame as everything else was so good but we didn't starve!!   Pros: Ambience * relatively cheap * Cons: Lack of vegan options * *
