Govinda

We were delighted to eat here for 3 days in a row. The pay by weight system means you can eat as much, or as little, as you like, and pay exactly for what you've had. At 40-70 roubles per 100grams, this means great value for tasty food. Each day there were 10-12 different dishes, and they changed day by day. About half the dishes available were vegan, with beans and nuts used. Puddings and drinks were also available. It's central location made it easy to find, and easy to return to.

Advantage of the place is that it is 100% vegetarian. The matter is that there is a high risk of opisthorchiasis invasion in this region if you eat in restaurants where fish is served, even if you eat only vegan food there. So this place is a kind of guaranteed parasites free oasis in Omsk.

There are some drawbacks:
Most of the dishes are not vegan.
Some food is pretty fatty.
It is self-service restaurant. That means if you come in the evening you get food that was cooked hours before - not very fresh and usually microwave oven heated or cold.

But service is is getting better gradually. And food quality also. In Govinda we trust. :)

Vegetarian dining area, self-service. Meals are almost always the same, often very salty. Food cold. If You are vegan or raw vegan - in this dining room doing nothing! In many non-vegetarian café in Omsk, You will find more vegan dishes and delicious ( for example: restaurant "Solo monplesir" , cafe "Cake and K").
