Molto carino - Edit
Pur essendo in centro, è in una via laterale, quindi più tranquillo. Vi ho mangiato a pranzo, il menù breve ma variegato, e comunque ho preso il piatto del giorno che era buonissimo. Vorrei tornarci.

Lovely place, delicious focaccia! - Edit
Had the hummus (get the hummus!), some sort of carrot pâté? - not fussed on this and was expensive for the amount you got. We also got the tomato focaccia (GET THE FOCACCIA) which was delicious and you got loads! The focaccia and hummus would be more than enough for 2 to share.
Read moreWe wanted to come back here just for the focaccia alone but it was shut on the other days we were in Milan 🥲
Pros: FOCACCIA

new management, more vegan - Edit
New management, now is Contrada Govinda, a cozy and nice restaurant with a bakery.
Read moreA small but interesting menu, similar to the one of the previous Hare Krishna kitchen but with more vegan choices. There is a tasting menu, vegetarian or vegan.
A vegan restaurant in an area, the very center of Milano, that doesn't offer too much.

Decent - Edit
You need to stuggle to tease out what is vegan, food is average quality infian food, its a safe option but do not expect to walk out feeling you had a culinary treat

A relaxing and quite lunch in the center of Milano - Edit
This is an historical Hare Krishna center that has been operating for more than 20 years.
Read moreYou have to get a membership card for 5 € to eat here.
The place looks super luxurious with its fabric tableware and silver cutlery but the staff is really nice and it is actually quite cheap. For llunch you can choose between small or large menu for 10,5 € or 13.00 €.
Often the vegan menu is only available for the small lunch set.
You can get any refill you like and barley coffee and herbal tea are included.
There are only a few big table so you would often have to share.
It is a very magic place to relax and enjoy a cheap and quiet lunch in the center of Milano.
Pros: Quiet and relaxing , Cheap with free refills , Nice staff
Cons: Vegan menu comes only in size small, Sometimes you have to share the table

not suitable for vegans - Edit
I went here tonight the lady at the door was friendly bit unsure if they could feed a vegan.
Read moreShe went in the kitchen and said we have soup rice and maybe tofu. It didn't really give me the confidence to eat here so I left.
So I ended up eating a bag of chips & dip for dinner :(
Vegetarians you'll be fed, vegans beware.
Pros: close to duomo
Cons: not confident if they could feed vegans

RUBBISH - Edit
Sorry but me and my boyfriend had an awful meal. Although the staff were friendly, the waitress didn't clearly explain how it worked , calling it a 'set menu' instead of a 'keep asking for food until you're full' menu so we paid €25 for the smallest 'meal' we have ever had in our lives , and we couldn't even have everything that was on the set menu for that evening. We had soup and salad to start, then half a cup of rice , one battered cauliflower floret (?!?!!?) and a bit of zucchini stuffed with potato. She also gave us fruit which had been drizzled with honey, which was an honest mistake but luckily we checked. Would never go back - so overpriced. You're better off going to a typical Italian place , paying a lot less , getting a decent meal from the get-go and better atmosphere as it's in this dark room you have to buzz into from the street.

delicious food, friendly atmosphere - Edit
I went to Govinda twice so far, both times for lunch and loved it! The food is very flavorful. They managed to make a small vegan plate for me which consists of 4 little bowls and it costs 9,50 EUR, with bread and fruit infused water included, which I consider a good deal, especially in the center of Milano. The portion is big enough to get full. There is a bigger option for 13,50 EUR but it may be vegetarian and not always vegan. The stuff is extremely friendly and welcoming. The only disadvantages are: you need to pay 5 EUR for a yearly membership the first time you go (that adds up if you're a tourist and would like to go there just once) and you need to share the table with strangers, which is fine if you want to have a nice chat with very friendly people but not great if you're looking for some quiet time just by yourself. You must be also aware that it's a very Hare Krishna place, where the weitresses will welcome you with "Hare Krishna" and offer you a book to read about it, which is nothing bad or dangerous, but just be aware of it :-) Overall, it's a great place to eat!

Tasty and filling lunch - Edit
The restaurant was very crowded at lunch time but there still was enough space for everyone. The vegan thali was very good both times we went there, and they served delicious barley coffee afterwards. The atmosphere in general is very warm and friendly.

friendly place, but mediocre food - Edit
The set meal was bland. Altough some indian ingrediants are used, don't expect anything that tastes like in India.

vegetarian food prepared with love - Edit
This is a secret little place nestled in the center of Milan and it is packed every day. You sit in communal tables and always meet cool people here. The food is made with love and is simply delicious and an amazing value for your money. You can have as many dishes as you like if you choose the open menu. Govinda is a gem for the center of milano!
