Govinda is a Hare Krishna vegetarian restaurant near the old town that has been feeding budget travellers and locals for years. The food is simple Indian-influenced vegetarian cuisine — dal, rice, curries, and a rotating daily menu. Prices are extremely low by any standard, making it a reliable fallback for a filling meal without spending much. The atmosphere is the opposite of a tourist restaurant.
The restaurant operates at lunchtimes and is often busy with locals. Cash only. The quality varies by day and dish, but for the price it consistently delivers.
