Microwaved food

Served buffet style but nothing was labeled. You pay by weight. You then microwaved your own plate of food. Cheap, about $11 for 2 people but flavors were odd at times.

Huge variety of delicious food!

This place is listed as vegetarian, but when we went, we were told that everything was vegan. Tons of options here, with lots of local dishes to try. The hot food is served cold and needs to be reheated, which originally had me worried, but turned out to not be an issue. The food was super flavorful. Great service, too. Awesome place (and cheap!)

So many amazing options

Oh my goodness, this place is incredible! Everything I tried (and I tried a lot!) was out of this world. It’s so nice to be able to pick your portions and everything was perfectly seasoned. It was also super reasonably priced. I can’t believe what a good deal and quality! I will definitely be going back and sitting in one of their lovely outdoor tables!

Pros: The food!!!!, Friendly staff, Wonderful atmosphere

Healthy lunch spot

Great to find so many local people from Mendoza found this restaurant to eat their lunch. We were happy to join them in line at the vegan buffet. Both ate a nice plate full of veggies for only 8000 pesos.

Not all dishes were 5-star (maybe shouldn't have put that many different things on my plate), so therefore a 4 star rating.

Fully vegan buffet

Lots of food to choose from with a delicious vegan cheese in many dishes. A worker puts your food on a plate and you heat it up in a microwave. We enjoyed our dinner so much we came back for breakfast!

Pros: All vegan/affordable, Big variety , Friendly staff

Perfect

Govinda is a fully vegan buffet place with healthy food and deserts! It’s super easy to get good food here! I went here for lunch a few times in the short amount of time I spent in Mendoza. Also, it’s not expensive at all. #Veganuary

Delicious!

We ordered food from Govinda a couple of times while staying in Mendoza (they have a good delivery servicw) and the food was really fresh and delicious! The "asado de seitán" is really really good. It was a nice surprise!

Pros: Many different options

Be happy they are open to serve Vegetarians in Mendoza

I wish I could like this place and almost always give high marks for vegetarian restaurants, but this place seems to treat their staff poorly and it shows in every way. They have vegan choices but are often not labeled (they have labels and if you go often you will see them on the appropriate items and learn). Over the years I have had to eat here as the other best choice in town is closed for personal well being (ya the food industry is hard). Many times I have seen the employees come and go. Very few, if any last. This is a chain and they make almost identical food at their other places. Lots of cheese and eggs. Often cheese in otherwise yummy looking salad greens... Years go by and nothing changes except the staff. Please people bring your own to go container and have them weigh it when they are not busy (or just take one and clean and repeat). Definitely a old stand by and deserves high marks for just existing in Argentina.

Pros: Vegan options, Almost always open and open late, large salad bar

Cons: Unhappy employees, never changing menu, pseudo fast food franchise including uniforms

Nice vegan buffet

Lots of clearly labeled vegan options, with enough variety to try something different each time. The "spicy" things are not spicy at all to a non-Argentinian palette so I would recommend to not take those warnings seriously or expect any spice. I really liked the tomato sauce and trying the jugo de jengibre is a MUST.

Pros: vegan options, delicious juice, affordable

Cons: Could move away from lacto-ovo to + vegan options

Amazing buffet with tons of Vegan options

Amazing Vegetarian (no eggs) buffet with tons of clearly marked Vegan options consisting of everything from different kinds of seitan, to fake soya meat, to a whole bunch of local delicacies, risotto, tons of veggies and salads, sautéed vegetables etc. The buffet list is endless, and everything is very tasty. Highly recommended.

Amazing!!

I love the food here. It’s all vegan and vegetarian, the options are balanced between both diets and are clearly labelled. There’s a variety of vegan food from Asian style noodles and veg, chimmichurri vegetables and empanadas! There’s salad also. You can eat in or take your food away. I wish there was a place like this in my hometown.

Love, love, love this place

Buffet style with vegan options clearly marked. I meant to try out the other buffets in town, but once I went to Govindas I just couldn't go anywhere else. Super cheap and heaps of delicious food, both Indian and Argentinean style (I felt a bit embarrassed by how high I had piled my plate...)
