Loved every single bit of every dish we tasted at the buffet lunch. Fantastic value at $12.90 per person, all you can eat. There is a great variety of hot food from Dahl to curries to noodles to pasta, and a range of salads as well. They were all cooked to perfection, plenty of flavour, and we really wish we had given this place a try a long time ago, being such regulars to the Coast.Fantastic for vegetarians or those with gluten intolerances. Highly recommend, we will be back! P.S. Try the mango lassi drink - divine!

Our family of 5 ate there for an all you could eat dinner, and the salads, curries, kofta balls, etc were delicious and filling!! We will definitely be back, exceptional service and value for money, and a wonderful cosy atmosphere, we loved it!

Vegetarians looking for a cheap meal should always be thankful for Govinda's. Great Hare Krishna vegetarian, though that means....gasp...no garlic. Still a great place for a cheap meal.

My husband and I came here twice, once for lunch and once for dinner. Both times we had the buffet option for $9.90 each, where you can choose most things on the display (excluding desserts, some salads and the samosas/spring rolls).

The buffet includes things like kofta balls, brown or white rice, vegan mild curry, potato bake, pasta bake, papadoms. It's great value if you can eat a lot. I can only eat two plates full and I'm done.

Approximate cost: $10

Dahl with rice, papodams and kofta balls are my favourite. I found this place while on holiday here approx 6 months ago but i have friends who still go here regularly they love it that much. I would too if i lived in the area. Healthy, wholesome food that tastes wonderful. Great place to meet up with family or friends. Taste sensation. Love the vegan options. Highly recommended for good food.

Everything at this place is vegan, even the cheesy pasta bake, which is made with tofu.

One of my favourite places to eat! I have a lot of vegetarian friends so love going here with them. The Hare Krishna food is delicious and the best part about it is the price for the quality and quantity you get!

Also if you go there just before they shut (a 9pm) they'll give you a good deal!

Hare Krishna style vegetarian curries, salads and ready made snacks. The staff are friendly, and the food is well priced and convenient. Although they have vegan options, the staff are often confused by what vegan means, and whether they are vegan or not, as it will depend on who cooked the meal, as to if it's vegan or vegetarian. A change of menu now and again would keep the regulars happy too! Otherwise a great eatery!

Approximate cost: $8.00

When I recently came here, we were told everything is vegan, not just vegetarian.
