Fresh and healthy food at a reasonable price - Edit
This place is along the busy Swanston Street where there is a lot of pedestrian traffic. There is a small entry that leads to stairs that go to the second floor. There is also more seating on the third floor. The prices are really good with the most expensive option being the "Feast Platter" which is $13.50 which has a lot of food. You can select which curry dishes and salads you want, what type of sauces you want etc. Some of the food is not vegan eg the mango lassi that was sold had dairy in it, but the labelling is clear so there shouldn't be any mistakes. The food seems very fresh and healthy. #Veganuary

My go-to place in Melbourne - Edit
Gopals has been serving up consistently great food for so many years that it's my most-visited eatery in the CBD. With clearly-marked and varied vegan dishes, and the vegan platter at $12.50 (2 curries, 2 salads, rice, dessert and a drink) you can't go wrong.
Read morePros: Large portions, Consistently tasty dishes, Excellent value
Cons: Stairs can be an issue for people with mobility pr

Amazing value - Edit
I had the vegan platter with two veggie curries, rice and some salads. It also comes with a drink and a dessert. The curries were flavoursome and the salads added freshness. The dessert was unassuming but really tasty. A date halva. It would be incredible if the mango lassi drink option was vegan. Otherwise a great place, glad I was finally able to visit.

Vegetarian Oasis- - Edit
Traveling with my husband through Australia we passed through Melbourne and we didn't want to miss the chance to try the vegetarian food at a Hare Krishna restaurant, so we went to Gopal Restaurant. And ufff too delicious, very good price and lots of food. The guys are very friendly. Everything excellent.

Nice curry - Edit
I love the curry. I tried the vegetable kofta and the tofu curries, and they had lots of flavour and the texture was really nice. I can be a bit picky when it comes to texture, and I really liked how the curries weren't mushy.
Read morePros: Lots of flavour, Nice texture (the curry isn't too soft)
Cons: Lack of Accessibility (upstairs)

Pretty nice - Edit
I tried the lasagne and the date apple desert. Both items werent quite to my taste. The lasagne had a spicy sauce on it, which was a bit strange but still yummy. And the oat slice was wayyyy too sweet and difficult to eat.

would be perfection if all vegan! - Edit
Gopals is fantastic. As everyone else is saying, great value for money, and great food. Really quick service and turnaround, and everything is clearly marked. I've tried all the vegan food and it's really (really) good. I wouldn't recommend the drinks though - suggest just sticking with the free water. Great place to come before a concert or something of the like in the city. You know you won't be caught up waiting to order or for your meals to arrive or the bill etc. On the other end of the scale, you can go with a friend and sit there for hours and not be constantly checked upon by wait staff! There's also an upstairs section with extra seating. Highly recommend! 4 stars as not all vegan
Read morePros: Great value, Great food, Quick turnaround
Cons: Not all vegan (could easily be!), Plates can stack up on the side when busy

Wholesome, cheap and healthy vegan food. Get the hungry vegan for $13.50 and feast on a drink, 2 salads, 2 mains, soup and dessert! I love the vegan halva & custard.

Gopal’s Melbourne - Edit
Quaint and cosy atmosphere reminds of Hare Krishna movement. Clean, decent and constant quality. Been there a number of times. Quite large helpings, do beware:) health food, salads, juices. Access to yoga and lectures if needed.
Read morePros: You never leave with empty stomach or pockets , Large helpings, Cheap
Cons: Sometimes you can’t finish what’s on your plate, Hippie hangout (not always a disadvantage)
