Best authentic pure vegetarian Indian food in Auckland (i've tasted all). With a great little Krishna temple around back (a must see!), which is the only hindu temple in Auckland that has an attached restaurant. Their masala dosa is the best ever! Anything can be made vegan (without dairy) :) Great prices! 7 or 10 dollars for a plate!
No idea what I wanted or how to understand the menu but the kind friendly chef owner was very patient, listened to what I like (cauliflower and paneer) and helped me. Puri (fried flatbread) is awesome and I thought I'd only need 2x. He chuckled at me and recommend x6! He was right.
The food is reasonably priced, exotic and tasty and the cooks are lovely. I was back again the following week to try new dishes.
Biggest tip: when they say $35 for 2 they mean it. Its easy to order too much food... but worth it
The combo meal was so delicious- every dish that came with it. Very friendly and helpful service and well priced. Will definitely be back now that I have discovered it.
Govindas food is exceptionally good - makes me think of home food. Thank you and Hare Krishna
A great place with soothing music and delicious indian food. Also, the staff is really polite and understanding. Definitely a place to grab your meals all day.
Nice and spacious place. Absolutely lovely service. Amazing chai and great vegan options!
If you're after authentic vegetarian Indian taste, check this place out. They have a wide variety of menu, great kick of spice in their food. Very nice place.
They have quite a lot of different Indian food on the menu which I thought was very overwhelming since there were so many choices. I ended up going with the Govida Special fixed meal. The meal had all a bit of everything, rice, bread, curries, and dessert. The serving was quite good, particularly for the price (This set meal was the most expensive item at $20). It was nice to try a range of different curries, the cabbage and pea one was really nice. The dessert (think it was a lapsi) was really good. The set meal was a good way to get a taste of everything.
Great food lovely staff and the chef recommendations were great!!!! I would come back here again. The bread puff they make is also very tasty.
Wow just went here for an early dinner with friends yummy food! We ordered three different dishes a chickpea curry, samosas and Govinda special. Each meal was very tasty and cheap. They catered to the whole table being vegan. Will definitely be coming back here.
Donβt walk in expecting to order a mild/medium/ hot butter chicken like a basic white person, this place is a whole level above that.
All dishes are vegatarian, and spiced the what they are meant to be.
Really delicious and affordable, a $12 std meal with your choice of 2x curries amongst the daily selection will fill you up.
A must try if you are looking for something off the beaten track of std food outlets.
Love Govinda, it is one of our regulars. All of the food is amazing and amazing value. It is all vegetarian and served in a basic style. You don't get any choice for mild medium or hot, it just comes how it comes but is always delicious.
I usually get the standard meal which includes 2 curries, rice, puris, dhal, a poppadom and pickle. All comes for $12 and you roll out the door. My particular favourite is the capsicum masala.

The best thing for a cold and wet winter's day is good food and cosy conversation with a good old friend π£π
Govinda Restaurant has very tasty, fresh, soothing food, prepared in the Sattvic way (meaning pure essence). Sattvic foods are thought to be pure and balanced, offering feelings of calmness, happiness, and mental clarity πβΊ It's not overly spicy or salty or oily, just good food ππ²
We finished off the meal with some beautiful masala chai β
There is a banquet hall for hire for weddings and parties ππ₯³ Attached to the restaurant is the Bhakti Centre, which is also a temple ππ
Pure vegetarian food, a large variety of dishes to opt. Owner is in the business and provides good service. Comparatively large dining area, hygiene and clean. They also have a 300 person capacity hall to cater for weddings or any other functions.
The gentleman that served us was very helpful & made sure or meals were good. Servings were small so it's good to get a few dishes. The down side of having a few different curries is the price does add up. The place is very clean & would recommend to vegans and vegetarians as they have nice dishes & are -Vegetarian Society Approved-
Yummy 100% vegetarian food. Very clean 'A' grade food certificate with plenty of parking. Friendly staff. Also the hall is available for hire. Visit the Hare Rama Hare Krishna Madir too. I think Uber food delivery is also an option. Must visit for Indian Authentic food in Auckland not too far from Sylvia Park in Mount Wellington.
Great vegetarian food and wonderful service. Very welcoming. Order at the counter. Takes EFTPOS and visa. Handwashing in the dining room. Free self service water.
Amazing vegetarian and vegan food and lovely service. All dishes were super tasty and we loved the kachori. Will definitely come back many more times to get through to whole menu
Amazing.
A huge range of Vegan/Vegetarian dishes to choose from.
All the dishes were very good especially the Vegetable fried rice.
The prices are very good too.
Would recommend to try and will go back.

Delicious food and great value, so much diversity on one meal plate - rotis, 2 curries, dhal, rice, chutney, dessert. Easy going, relaxed spot, kind people, thank you π
