82 Vulture St, West End QLD 4101, Australia
A hidden secret in West End. It's off the beaten path and the entrance is up a flight of stairs and through an unmarked door with opening hours on it. This Govinda's amounts to an outlet for the main kitchen in George Street. All food is brought in fresh each day and therefore meets the usual quality your associate with Govinda's. The dining area is cosy and the area is air conditioned. You can get the feast option for $12.90 and there are no restrictions on how much you can have. If you don't want to gorge yourself, you can get a plated selection without halva for $10 which is very reasonable. I struggled to go back for kofta seconds at lunch and as I write this review at 5pm I'm still feeling full. Now I know it's here I'll surely be back again.
I came here on a friends recommendation a few weeks ago. This is not like a traditional sit down restaurant. In saying that it's uniqueness is exquisite! The extremely reasonable price point and the large quantity of vegan and vegetarian food available is amazing! For the price of 1 meal I has several days of leftovers. Despite being vegan/vegetarian the complexity and depth of the food is amazing! This is an amazing restaurant that is Brisbane's hidden treasure. I would strongly recommend a visit!
I’m not a full time vegetarian, but there are still a few special days every month I will go vegetarian. Yesterday was one of them. So I was here for my lunch yesterday arvo. The store is located upstairs on a main street in West End. It’s around 3pm, not much customers over there. The food was good, however, I more prefer the atmosphere, pretty relaxing, especially when sitting by the window and enjoying your food with the hustle and bustle of the busy street downstairs on a sunny Queensland arvo.
Ive eaten at fee Govindas before and the food at Westend was equally as tasty. I chose basic feast plus a pastry of spinach/fetta which was delicious accompanied by a pulpy coconut juice can. All very satisfying! ?
A small gem of a restaurant that unfortunately does not have a lot of visibility. The staff are super friendly and it's a simple peaceful atmosphere. You get a good portion of tasty food that's really worthy of the price.
