Food: Inconsistent palatability

Govinda's Natural Food Cafe does have some highlights, but they are miserably mired amidst a sea of inconsistency. Their Salad Bar, Basmati Rice with Dahl, and Vegetable Soups garnered some favorable reviews, sporting freshness in spades. However, the variable taste and creativity detract from the overall dining experience, leaving patrons much like their menu - unsure of what to expect.

  • Great Value

    All reviews rave about the great value for delicious, healthy food offered.

  • Okay Taste

    Some reviews describe food as variable, sometimes good, sometimes not.

  • Not Creative

    Food not groundbreaking or incredible, just healthy with variety.

Vibe: Uninspired hippie cliché

If you're hoping to find a trendy, warm atmosphere bursting with charisma and soul, Govinda's might leave you cold. The ambiance was described as 'hippy, cheap,' failing to supply a desirable date vibe. The lack of drink selection further sabotages the overall experience.

  • Bad For Dates

    More like a cafeteria, not suitable for dates, per several customer reviews.

Perks: Soothing calm amidst chaos

Amidst an avalanche of negatives, the restaurant does provide a few perks. The noise level is agreeably low, bringing about quiet and peaceful eats. Remarkably family-friendly, the restaurant caters to hyper toddlers just as comfortably as health-conscious adults. Despite parking woes, service and diet variety are surprisingly positive, offering a dim glimmer of hope.

  • Great For Diets

    Consistently fresh, tasty, inexpensive vegetarian and vegan options available.

  • Okay Outdoor

    Outdoor seating varies, offering both peace and challenges with weather.

  • Hard To Park

    Parking spots are too few, often full, and finding space is tough.
