Mixed

The daily menu has loads of mostly vegan options with a few vegetarian. Our starters of vegetable briyani and dal were very good but the mains were less successful. Overall it was nice and we enjoyed the break from Spanish food.

Delightful Indian Vegan restaurant in a charming location

As we had to take a train, we had appetizers for a hurried meal. Pakoras were tasty, samosas were large and fulfilling. Salted lassi was great for a hot day. The host was charming , gracious and very welcoming. If we visit Barcelona again, we will readily go back for a buffet or a full meal

Geheimtipp mitten im Barri Gotic

Mitten in der Altstadt finden sich in der Regel ja nur die Touristenfallen. Nicht so im Govinda. Man braucht dort eigentlich nicht einmal eine Reservierung, wird äußerst freundlich (und schnell) bedient und zahlt moderate Preise. Toll: eine komplett vegetarische/vegane Karte und keine alkoholischen Getränke. Mittagstisch sehr preisgünstig und superfrisch zubereitet.

Pros: Indisch-spanische Fusion-Küche, Sehr freundlicher Service

Das Essen war wirklich sehr lecker und wir mussten kaum warten. Außerdem gab es viele Vegane oder optional vegane Gerichte.

Incredibly good food

I had the chana masala, so I can not speak for the other dishes, but this was amazing. It tasted so rich and they used so many spices that days later, I still feel to remenber the taste. Definitely the best chana masala I have ever eaten. The only downside is that the bread is rather expensive but necessary if you are really hungry. A little more bread for the same price would be very nice.
Also a nice atmosphere, very calm and very friendly staff.

Pros: Incredibly chana masala

Cons: Bread is very overpriced

Chaque jour un nouveau plat!

Premier jour à Barcelone et on tombe sur ce petit resto. Que du bonheur. Une formule entrée-plat-dessert (ou thé/café) pour rien du tout.. on s'est régalé! Le buffet de salade en entrée est une très bonne idée et les plats originaux et savoureux font une suite parfaite. Plus de place pour un dessert, vous pouvez le remplacer par un café ou une infusion Yogi Tea :)

Pros: Prix, Plats originaux, Buffet de salade en entrée

Good value for money

I came with a group of friends. Both meat eaters and vegetarians. They all liked the food. The atmosphere was nice, and we got our food quickly. The main advantage for us was the cheap lunch deal: €11.50 for a starter, a main, a dessert and a drink. Staff was also very welcoming, but were a bit hard to get ahold of when we wanted to pay.

Pros: Lots of vegan option, Low cost for lots of food , Nice staff

Cons: Not always easy to get ahold of a staff member , Not super authentic naan bread

Bit more expensive but sort of worth it.

Littlebit more expensive than usual, but is it worth it? Sort of.

My main dish, Kofta was so so; the structure and tomato sauce was ok, but it was salty and could have used a bit more on the side, instead of only one Chapati. Salad bar and dessert were pleasant. Good portions. The (unfortunately non vegan/non well treated animals) Lassi was fine. Some alcoholic beverage options would have been nice. 3.5 stars.

Vegan tax at vegetarian place, lovely.

Ordered from the daily menu, had vegan options (not labelled)... but bread is not vegan. Was told we could order some from the regular menu at full price, even though it's supposed to be included. The staff isn't helpful, the items on the salad bar aren't labeled with some containing butter, and service is slow even by local standards. Luckily they do have vegan dessert options.

Pedimos del Menú del Día, y tenían opciones veganas (no marcadas), pero el pan no es vegano. Nos dijeron que podíamos pedir pan vegano fuera de menú pagando extra, incluso aunque se supone que estaba incluido en el menú. Mal servicio de parte de los camareros, los productos del bar de ensaladas no están etiquetados, aunque algunos tienen mantequilla, y el servicio es lento incluso para el estándard local. Al menos tenían opciones veganas en los postres.

Pros: Some vegan options

Cons: First vegetarian place that did a vegan tax

Good vegetarian option close to Rambla

I visited this restaurant for first time more than ten years ago. The food is very good for vegetarians, poorer options if you are vegan. The salad bar is quite complete.

Pros: Centrally located, Good and tasty food, Salad bar

Cons: Not many options for vegans

Comida sabrosa y flexibles con la preparación

Tienen varias opciones veganas, un salad bar pequeño donde prepararse la ensalada a su gusto, e intentan amoldarse a lo que uno necesita. Pedí el estofado de berenjenas y garbanzos (muy sabroso) y pedí que me agregaran un poco de tofu y no hubo problema.

Pros: Varias opciones veganas, Ambiente renovado y relajado, Muy céntrico

Good Indian food

We went there for lunch and the food was really good. The lunch set menu has a lot of vegan choices, and it also includes dessert. The staff is not very friendly, but if it is something you don’t care about this place is worth your time.
