Great Cheap Healthy Food! - Edit
I love Gopal’s!
Read moreThe meal deals are clearly written on the back wall and the vegan options are clearly marked with everything being vegetarian. Even the smallest option usually fills me up as they’re super generous with the portions too.

Always delicious - Edit
I love Gopal's!! One of my favourite eateries in the CBD 🍲
Read moreThe food here is so delicious, fresh, and wholesome. I always leave feeling really satisfied. It's good value for money, and they always have heaps of vegan options to choose from.
Some of my faves are the kofta, the tofu stew, roti, the quinoa salad, pasta salad, and the sticky date pudding for dessert.
Pros: Heaps of vegan options , Fresh, healthy, and flavoursome food , Good value for money
Cons: Sometimes service is not so great

Tasty and great value - Edit
Everything is clearly marked. The daily changing menu was all clearly marked with I went (Jan 2020). Cafeteria style, you choose which curry/ salad you want. Casual eatery, give it a try for a quick, cheap and tasty lunch.

Easy and casual - Edit
I really like the casual atmosphere of the place. The curry was delicious but a little cold in temperature (I came in the evening). It was very affordable too, especially compared to other veggie restaurants in Melbourne.

Very good value - Edit
Really good value for money, they do platters with rice, two curries and two salads, it says they have roti but we weren’t given roti this time. Some variety to choose from but all from bain marie. Also has dessert. Taste pretty good except sometimes something will be a bit hit and miss for example we got a really salty kofta.

Inexpensive Lunch in the CBD - Edit
Average if adequate plates of pre-produced hot dishes from the Bain Marie. $9.50 vegan lunch plates of (brown) rice, two hot dishes and two salads. Probably the better value of the Hare Krishna enterprises (Crossways - cheap and nasty; Rhadeys - good value for Fitzroy; Mantra - the least-good of the bunch; and Gopals). Nearby Crossways is only $7.50/$6 concession for AYCE, but so stodgy and flavourless, one plate is sufficient. Gopals wins for atmosphere, freshness, healthiness and $ value.
Read moreUnfortunately, like all Hare Krishna-sponsored eateries, the consistency of quality and service is pretty average; and I just tried their ‘soup’, which tasted like a bowl of seawater thickened with lentils (at least, unlike Radhey’s, every 2nd dish isn’t charcoal-flavoured!). Urggghh don’t these chefs *taste* their own products?!
Pros: predominantly vegan, excellent value: large portions, relatively fresh and healthy
Cons: not super-tasty, food quality pretty average, run by patriarchal homophobic religious cult

SO many options - Edit
Gopals has so many amazing options! A place in the city if your looking for a heavy plate for super cheap. You get to pick between two salads & hot plates for around $9! Make it $11 if you want a desert. Quick and easy to pick up if your on you way home or work. Highly recommend

affordable lunch option - Edit
Was pretty surprised to see that most of their curries and all salads were vegan, only a few items contained dairy. I went for the 'Not so hungry' plate which had rice, 2curries and 2 salads on it and was only $9,50. The portion size was very generous and I struggled to eat it all (but managed), I did however find the flavour of the dishes way too bland....seeing as it's overall pretty affordable and I only tasted a couple of things I obviously can't speak for all the other options available. Curries and salads can be so much more flavourful though.
Read morePros: affordable , generous portion, lots of options
Cons: lacked flavour in my opinion
