Govinda's - Vrindavan

Finding vegan food is much easier outside of ISKCON. Street food vendors across the street were more knowledgeable about vegan options. I even found someone who understood what veganism was, and the food was much more affordable compared to Govindas. If you're looking for a restaurant with air conditioning, Vrindavan might be a good choice, but be prepared to spend some time explaining veganism to the staff.

We have visited this restaurant many times during our trip. The staff was extremely friendly, and the dishes were delicious and fresh. The best thing was that it was prasad. I highly recommend it.

The restaurant was just okay. I expected more vegan options from a vegetarian organization like ISKCON, but it was difficult to find anything vegan on the menu. I asked the English-speaking waiter for recommendations without milk, honey, or animal products, but he had no understanding of veganism. The dish I ended up ordering was decent but not amazing, and also quite expensive for the area. When I tried to find vegan desserts, I had a similar experience of confusion and lack of knowledge. In Vrindavan, it is easy to find vegan food from street vendors nearby. If you want a slightly upscale option with air conditioning, you can try this place, but be prepared to explain veganism in detail.

After eating only Indian cuisine for a while, this restaurant offers a refreshing change from spicy dishes. They serve delicious vegetarian burgers, pizzas, cakes, and more. Highly recommend trying their menu.

I was thrilled to return to Govindas and the food was delicious. They even offer Ekadashi prasadam, making it a truly enjoyable experience all around.
