Homely and delicious curries

I opted for the $18 option which included 6 poori and multiple curries and rice. They have about 6 different curries to choose from each day.

Reasonable food and prices

The food is pretty reasonably tasting, but don't expect it to be an explosion of flavour since this style of food is usually a little lighter on the spices. The service might be a little slow if you've caught them during a slow time since the atmosphere seems to be more on the casual side than commercial restaurant operation. Staff are friendly though. The toilet can be a little confusing to find since you have to go into the prayer area of the building.

Pros: Friendly staff, Good value

Lovely People, Yummy Food

Harks back to the old Hare Krishna's on K'rd in the city. Good food, large portions and a very good Tumeric & Ginger Chai. It was easy to order vegan gluten free meals. Recommended!

Pros: Good range of Vegan food., Lovely welcoming people.

Cons: A little bit pricey than the usual HKs but very, good value for money

Awful

Found this restaurant through a Google search, and thinking it was actually part of ISKCON (the Hare Krishna movement) or part of Govindas, ISKCON-affiliated restaurants, which are famous, I eagerly sought this place out.

What a disappointment.

Everything from the starter to the dessert was stale. The mains were tasteless. The service was so slow, it was actually stressful!

Definitely not recommended.

Great find

Can't believe this escaped my attention for so long. Really good restaurant on the side of Govinda temple near Mt Wellington.Fantastic value for good Indian plates. We had the aloo paratha which was authentic and absolutely delicious. Also had the day's special thali which was great value at $10. Will be returning!

Pros: Authentic, Great value

Cons: A long way from city centre

Love this place!

I've been here several times, and the food still continues to satisfy me very well. Highlights about this place: no garlic no onion, as with the Hare Krishna practise. Suits me well, because I'm Buddhist and I have a similar diet. The prices are VERY good (a decent meal for less than $10), with ranges from a $7 set meal (not including drinks, but water is free) to more expensive delicacies more than $10 each. I always get the sets, because they come with different curries and it's easier since I don't know much about the Indian cuisine. Nonetheless, the food tastes amazing. And the service is exceptional; very friendly and helpful. I recall on my first visit, the lady gave us different options and gave us much-appreciated advice on what to order.
I definitely recommend this place!

Pros: friendly staff, no garlic, no onion, good food, good value

Cons: might be hard to find
