Govinda's Restaurant

The restaurant was beautifully decorated with a very friendly and cosy vibe. My boyfriend and I ate here a few times and it was all totally delicious. Finding vegan cake on my birthday was amazing and I even had a free one which was so kind! loved every visit :)

Cute little café with mostly vegan food, only two items contained cheese and were clearly marked as vegetarian. There's no menu, you choose directly from the display case, which I loved. The lasagna was amazing, and my omni boyfriend loved his fajita too. Cheap, good sized portions that fill you up but leave just enough room for one of their delicious cupcakes or muffins. The Chilean family who runs this place is so sweet too, I'm so happy I found this café!

I went here VERY hungry and ordered 3 things with my partner to share. The meals were very filling and we would have been okay ordering 1 meal to share!! The staff is very friendly and makes you feel welcome.

had the daily menue with rice and chickpeas with tomato sauce. they had more vegan than vegetarian options (so I don't get why it's listed as vegetarian). could be more seasoned but as it is "jay"food maybe it's just the missing onion an garlic. the vegan White chocolate cupcake was delicious! friendly stuff, lovely decorated, fast to reach and quite easy to find.
so I would totally recommend to go there if you want to eat non-thai food.

Great dinner 😋 we tried 3 dishes and ate them all! Nice mood too.

To be honest the food was not seasoned very well at all but they do change the menu every day so maybe we just got unlucky. They use mozzarella in alot of stuff, hopefully not the kind with rennet. The fajitas need alot more spices in the beans, they taste so bland. The place is cute but not enough protein option and they reheat stuff because they don't seem to have a proper kitchen.

I had a lovely takeaway vegan pasty & vegan cup cake yesterday. It was so nice we went back for dinner later. I was so full up after lunch though that I could only share a soup with my husband!
Friendly staff. Definitely recommend if you are vegan or veggie. No alcohol, but it is a healthy place so you can always go for a drink afterwards.

Without doubt, the best vegan food we've ever eaten in Thailand! The staff were so friendly, the atmosphere was relaxing and the food was so good and tasteful!
We simply can't have enough of this restaurant!

Friendly owners, family operated and varied menu make this place special.

After a straight week of Thai food, this place was a refreshing reminder that vegetarian options in Thailand are not just noodle dishes, curry and rice.

Loved this spot.

From our trip around Thailand we stayed at Krabi, Ao Nang for a 5 days and looked around for a pleasant meal, luckily we hit up Happycow to discover this welcoming place in a little bit hiden street.

It is really a simple place and it intends to be.

The vibe is carefree yet alert and every move made in preparing our food was considerate - truly fulfilling experience.

No, it is not a place where the butler has a stick between hes or hers buns to keep a smile on your face, neglecting his or hers - no

The experience is more like visiting a friend, where you see your people and accept them for who they are and they do the same, it really feels like home, when you open yourself to it!

The food has an vedic twist to it, as you feel that everything has its balance, no overpowering flavour.

The experience was good and the food was good, but it tends to be a little bit more suitable for breakfast/lunch than for dinner.

The pastry is certainly cafes strong suit. Same goes for the salty and the cakes, really nice!

The atmosphere is more western than anywhere else we found in Ao Nang Beach, really nice cafeteria to do your lunch break in or enjoy yourself.

The owners are really nice and open, make sure not to march in with your foot gear on, as the floor is cleaned for you to be there on your barefoot.

Thank you!

We were there 3 times...

Cute restaurant off the main strip of beach in Aonang-- the only vegan/vegetarian only restaurant I could find in the area. The food was flavorful, tasted fresh and the owner was very kind. It's a bit pricier than some other places I've seen but a real treat!

We visited back in November and were so happy that we took a boat over from Railay to find this place. We had a delicious vegan calzone, fried potato ball with dip, and a vegan version of seco (steak) with rice and sauce.

So delicious, every bite. The owner and his daughter were super sweet. The inside was adorable, very nice vibe.

This restaurant has only been open a few months, go and give them your support you WILL NOT be disappointed. The food tastes amazing and the family who run the place are so friendly and make you literally feel right at home. Almost everything is vegan including the desserts such as vegan cupcakes!! The owners are just the sweetest and the food is divine so get down to this place and try everything they have to offer. There are so many food choices in Krabi and Ao Nang and yet so little of them are for veggies. This place is your go-to gem.

It's always a pleasure to find a place like this. Lovely restaurant with awesome food and owners. Almost everything is vegan.

Lovely food, very delicious. The staff were all friendly and made me feel very much at home. After my delicious meal, I even bought a few extras to take back to my hotel to eat tomorrow.

After going through Phuket and phi phi struggling for good veggie and vegan food, we hit the jackpot with Govinda's, which was literally a minute from our resort.
The owners are such beautiful and loving hosts, offering us every option and explaining what each is. Everything is cooked fresh by the family, which makes a massive difference to the quality of food as well.
We just got back from dinner here today, and already we know we will go again tomorrow and try some of the other dishes.

I definitely recommend all to try,

Thanks Govinda's for a great meal.

Haribol!

this place was so small, yet pretty amazing ❤. We enjoyed the food very much!! for sure worth the walk, just be aware of that they are closed in the weekends (sadly) 😊.

We were so happy to find this little place in Ao Nang, there were a few different options to choose from, both vegetarian and vegan, we tried 3 different dishes and all were very tasty! The owner was also very friendly, would definitely eat here again!

If you are in Ao Nang, Govinda's restaurant is a MUST GO. You will love the freshly made vegan/vegetarian food.

Most of the items are fixed on the menu, but the main menu will change daily (so come back daily!). And make sure you thy their kachori.

The staff is amazing and always ready for a talk.

The only one vegetarian restaurant in Ao Nang is really amazing, you should try it!

This nice and cosy little restaurant ist a real diamond in this area full of meat-offering places, so we went there every day during our stay in Ao Nang. The family who runs the place are open-hearted, friendly and talkative people. The food is so yummy and the prices are absolutely affordable. Most of the food is vegan - the owner will show you which. The cupcakes and muffins are a total hit and the vegan soyburger was the best we found in Thailand so far.

Keep up the good work and all the best!

I went to Govinda's Restaurant on both days that I stayed in Krabi. They have changing main menus everyday for 120 baht inkl. the drink of the day. I did not try them, but other guests gave the feedback, that it was delicious.
I ate the empanada(?) and some kind of potato dish in dough, both came with a yummy sauce.
The tofu burger, which had a nice sauce on it, was a reealy tasty! As a dessert I tried the ginger chocolate muffin, which was soooooo delicious !!! I also had the cupcake, which topping was also super good. Sadly I had to leave the next day, so I couldn't try out the rest haha.
If I will ever be in Krabi again, I will come back!

this is such a nice little place where you can get delicious food for a good price! it's not really a fancy restaurant more like a cafe but they do offer warm meals. the owner is so nice, it's very clean and the food is healthy and tastes really good. especially the empanadas and the wrap are great. if you are in the area you should definetly come here for a good wholesome meal!!

What a surprise!! I've been coming to Ao Nang for years. Each time I would have a real hard time finding a pure vegetarian place to eat in peace. There used to be a small place in front of Tesco, however it seems to be shut down..
When I came across this little hidden treasure I was thrilled.
The food was yummy!! Just like a good old home cooked meal. It felt so wholesome, but the best part was the owners and the service, not to mention the decor, is very peaceful and pleasant. The Empanadas are really delicious, I highly recommend this place, and will be eating here everytime I visit 😊

The only vegetarian restaurant in town, very reasonably priced and offers variety of delicious items. The atmosphere is pleasant and elegant, and the staff are very friendly. The restaurant is run by family owners and it makes you feel at home and welcome. The location is good, we could easily find it. Will definety recommend it to all my friends, whether vegetarian or not. And we will be regular visitors on our next trip to Krabi! Keep it up.

It was great finding a restaurant that was vegetarian in the area, good variety of food, Home food style, clean and friendly service, definitely recommend it.

As soon as I walked in this restaurant I knew it wasn't gonna disappoint, the place was spotless clean,stuff were friendly, the food was delicious!!
I wish I could've stayed longer in Ao nang to try every dish Govindas offered, the fruit smoothies were freshly pressed, the salads were fresh, the dishes from different ethnicities were simply amazing.
Not to mention this restaurant was the only vegetarian/vegan restaurant in the area, it seems the restaurant is run by the owners, the service was lovely, priced right !
Highly recommend this restaurant to anyone in the area, vegetarian or not!!

since this shop open almost everyday I visit and take delicious food .. Shop is so clean and the food is so heathy and delicious .. This is the only one pure vegetarian shop in Aonang I'm loving it .. Strongly recommend to vegetarian ... Must visit that shop

I was attracted to this place because it was recently open and it is close to the beach. When you enter at the place, it looks nice and clean. However the food was cold and the service by the owner (a Latina by her strong accent) was no the best. I wish them luck on their new business, but they need to improve a little more if they want to compete with the other nice vegetarian restaurants. All the best!
