Not for vegans

They only have 1 vegan option on normal days, and not really tasty:/ great for vegetarians not vegans. Not really healthy. Most food is super oily:/ but my friends love it:) I would give a 5 star for this place:)

Pros: Really really cheap, Premade, no need to wait, Nice restaurant nice staffs

Cons: Not for vegans, Not as healthy

They always have something vegan

Perfect for a quick weekday lunch, they always have some type of vegan options. The food is indian style, it's very tasty and they give big portions.

Pros: Big portions, Lots of flavor, Healthy and fast

OK food, copious and cheap

Hare Krishna restaurant right in the city centre. It offers a daily menu which is copious (a starter, a soup, a main dish and a lemonade) for about 5€. Food was good but not spectacular, and you do not get to chose your main dish if you have the daily menu (we had a *huge* portion of lentils). Would recommand though, regarding the quantity vs price.

Pros: Copious , Cheap , Daily menu

The best vegan/vegetarian restaurant in budapest! Friendly staff, amazing food!

I loved how accommodating the staff were in Govindas and the food was exceptional, so tasty. The food was the best vegetarian/vegan food I have ever had. The portion size was also very good, you will not leave hungry. And everything is priced very fairly, accommodating everyone!

Pros: Lots of vegan and vegetarian options, Make sure you get the dessert options!!, Amazing place, good size portion!

Multiple vegan options

The staff is extremely friendly, and there are many vegan options on the menu. I tried the subji and pakora, they give large portions even for take-away.

A big surprise

Went there in 2018, at first, I was a bit turned off by the flair of the restaurant, but the staff was so nice and the food was simply SO good! Never would have gone for the choice of dishes I got but it harmonized perfectly and was really tasty.

Pros: Very nice staff, Fair portions

Portions were huge

We had a lunch special for 2 people. Came with a drink, salad, chutney and fried bread. Portions were huge and I couldn't finish mine. food was full of flavour. Rose water wasn't for me though! Didn't like the taste and was warm from sitting in the side. It's very canteen like and a buffet style.

Pros: Great price, Huge portions

Dissapointed

The daily lunch offer varies, but what I’ve got was basically a bad quality 1 soup and 1 main dish, which was of a soup consistency. So my lunch was 2 soups.. the other options didn’t look too yummy neither. I will give this place another try, but after first visit I’ve got bad impression. Only the rose lemonade was good, but also very sweet.

Few vegan options that tasted great

It was one of the rare places in Budapest where you can find food without onion and garlic which I'm allergic to. You will need to ask for the vegan options though. The food was tasty and the prices were very reasonable.

Pros: no onion and garlic , good food, low prices

Very good good but expensive for a Hare Krishna restaurant!

Good and tasty food as usual at the Hare Khrishna restaurant. Good service. Very expensive compared to other European Hare Khrishna restaurants.

Pros: nice and delicious food

Cons: expensive

not good for vegans

Unfortunately there's almost no options for vegans. I had a Indian something soup that was nice, the yellow rice was also good, but I also had something made out of spinach and it wasn't tasty. Staff was friendly and helped me out in English and the raspberry lemonade was amazing. Not the best food, but it's ok and price is good.

Nice simple canteen

Canteen style with lots of options. Simple mains. Unfortunately we were told they were closing in half an hour so just bought some pakoras and lassi as we didn't want to rush a main meal. Probably could have had it in time but felt they wanted to clear up.

Pros: Mango Lassi, Range of pakoras, Cheap

Cons: Some bland looking mains

Pros: Inexpensive, Tasty, Free water

Cheap and friendly

I went here for lunch. There was a lot of choice and the staff were happy to explain what everything was. I ended up having a curry with small side order for the equivalent of 3 Euros. Will definitely be going back.

Pros: Good value, Plenty of choice, Friendly staff

Very good

The place is located in the city center of Budapest, but the cost of the food is really low. As said before you can eat a dinner for two for 2000HUF that is like... 7 euro. There is no English menu, but the staff is English-speaking. Desserts are so delicious it's breathtaking!

Pros: Location, Cheap, Very tasty food

Cons: No English menu

Good late afternoon buffet

This restaurant has a special buffet meal everyday after 4:00 p.m. You can have unlimited amounts of anything offered (except for the cakes, but who needs them after a large meal?)for 13 euro, which includes soup, breads, several Indian options as well as veggy (noodles and cheese), fruit salad and juice. You can also order a la carte, which is what most locals (mostly students) were doing. We enjoyed the buffet meal and the owner was very helpful in suggesting what to try. I especially liked the cabbage (goulash style) soup. This centrally located cafeteria style restaurant is conveniently located in the center of the Pest side of the city, not far from the covered market and the Danube.

Pros: inexpensive, friendly staff

Nice cheap place - 2000 huf for dinner for two :)

It is buffet style place with plenty of vegan options. We stayed there for like 30 minutes in the evening - so it can be both almost empty and in 15 crowded mins, like with no free table. Food is tasty, prices are awesome, they also have fixed price offers. No coffee or tea, just herbal.

Pros: price, location, good taste

Cons: some dishes are not for weight watchers"

Fine for a quick veggie bite to eat.

Budapest seems to be full of small canteen style cafe's where you go up to the counter, select your food from the options on display and pay at till.

This is the first vegetarian place I've found in Budapest and I wanted a quick lunch while visiting a nearby business client. I got the Indian main dish (a mild vegetable curry), some rice and plenty of salad for less than £6.

It was far from the best Indian food I've ever had but it was very tasty and was exactly what I was looking for. I think the curry was made using local vegetables e.g. brussel sprouts rather than what you might expect in a traditional vegetarian Indian curry but this didn't put me off.

For a quick informal veggie lunch in Budapest I would recommend this place. If you want something more formal or food cooked fresh to order then I'd probably look elsewhere.

Pros: Quick, Cheap

Cons: Not freshly cooked

poor quality food

We were very disappointed here. Tried a few dishes at dinner time on a weekday and they all were not fresh and not tasty. Maybe they just had a bad day...

Pros: Central location

Cons: unfresh food, tasteless
