They lied about their food being vegan - Edit
For 8ish years Govindas has been serving "Pepper Steak" sandwiches and claiming them to be vegan. About 5 months ago they were caught and it turns out that in fact the steak used (NOT the same as the chicken cheese steak) is not vegan. The owner claimed he had no idea. If he doesn't know enough about veganism to read the ingridients of his own food, he shouldn't be serving it.
Read moreFor a month after that the cafe got another steak substance and when a customer would ask for vegan cheese, they would give them the vegan alternative. after that ran out, they went straight back to using the non vegan steak and not saying anything to their customers. one of very few workers there who actually cares about veganism finally put up on the sign that the pepper steak is in fact not vegan.
Govindas is overrated and really expensive, and it sucks being lied to about your food.

good, good, good - Edit
Good food for a good price. Very quick too. The staff was very friendly and recommended dishes for me and my friend, both of which turned out to be great.

bomb - Edit
Well, Philly does have SOMETHING that Portland doesn't. Mock Chicken Philly Cheesesteaks that can't be beat. I've still tried to make them here at home after Vic Showed me how on his visit here to the northwest and, well, I fail!

ice cream!!! - Edit
i did not read another review that mentioned their ice cream. so here it goes... they have ice cream, and cookies (brownies, cake ect.) and a good number of varieties! all the normal food is really good, most of it is pretty original and is not prepared like most other places, so whether you love it or think its okay, its worth the experience, personally i love it.

love this place! - Edit
Chicken Cheese Steak, Soy Cheese, Sesame Roll=Perfection. This is my favorite place to eat in Philadelphia. The fake meat they use is superb, the cheezy sauce is excellent (I wish it was all over my sandwich and not just at the bottom, though!), the bread is fresh, and the sandwich is a great value for the money. Oh, and they sell Vegan Treats desserts, which are as good as they look. (and they look amazing!)
