• Govinda's is a delicious vegetarian restaurant with vegan options labelled

Govinda's opened this summer at the ISKCON Hare Krishna temple in the Houston Heights. The facility was always worth a visit because of the beautiful architecture, and now it's definitely worth a visit since the opening of this vegetarian restaurant! They are opened for a lunch buffet and a dinner buffet with a mix of Indian and American cuisine. There is a small salad bar and about 8 hot offerings. Everything is labelled, and most of the offerings are labelled vegan. For the Indian cuisine I tried: Aloo Baingan (potato and eggplant), kidney bean curry, cauliflower pakora, papadum, tamarind sauce, and mint chutney. The cauliflower pakora was my favorite thing on the plate, and tasted amazing dipped in the tamarind and mint chutney. My second favorite was the aloo baingan, it was perfectly spiced and very filling. The interior is well decorated and very modern. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to vegans, because it is one of the few places in Houston that serves Indian food that labels items as vegan and you don't have to inquire about the ingredients!
