I live in the country and travel to Brisbane often always go to govindas sadly they’ve changed their hours now used to be open till 8pm now 3.30 pm sad I think the corona restrictions had a bid impact anyone who really known Indian food will appreciate this is a great place to eat at a very reasonable price #Veganuary

Pros: The food, The variety, Service

Good value

Neither of us were really hungry so we just got a takeaway to share. Not everything is vegan, make sure you ask. We got a medium takeaway with rice, a peanut vegetable curry and kofta balls. We sat in our hotel and ate it. It was very nice. The person serving was nice too.

Cheap, easy veg food

Govindas is exactly what you expect. Simple, Indian food. Whatever is prepared on the day are your choices, with three different sizes of meal, with the large one including a drink and dessert (making it the non-vegan one). There are also samosas and the sweets and salads.
Service was great, plenty of seating and great location.

Good value, average food

As others have said, the food is not amazing but it’s a good veggo feed. Only one thing on the “feast” plate really stood out but overall a bit bland, a bit lacking. Good location in the city and a decent price for a quick meal to fill the void

Pros: Well priced, Does the job

Cons: Not very interesting. , A lot of carby bulk filler

Good value for money

The food isn’t outstanding but definitely good value for money. I got the „feast meal“. The main dish was good and the dessert was amazing.

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Good value for money, Good location

Cons: Nothing special

Favourite place!!

I love eating at Govindas! Great variety, very reasonable price for what you get and the staff are always welcoming. One man in particular who works there remembers my friend and I each time we come in and remembers our order. I also can't stop myself when it comes to the koftas... they're amazing!! 😍

Good food, just not great

I feel bad scoring them only 4 stars because the food was really good, just not amazing.

I had one curry and rice. There seems to be a theme with Indian places in Brisbane (maybe in Australia in general) with their ordering style. You choose the number of and the curries themselves with/without rice. So, at Govinda’s it’s €7.50 for 1 curry with rice, $8.50 for 2 and $10 for 3, or you can get a taster plate for $12 where you it’s kind of “all-you-can-eat”

Pros: Not expensive, Pretty good food, Friendly staff

Cons: Not excellent food, Not a huge variety

Ok at best.

Food is ok, not amazing. Bane-Marie food isn’t the freshest and the rice becomes hard and crispy. The kofta balls are ok. Some staff never smile and are not very helpful, just ok. Not my first choice.

Pros: Ok food

Cons: The rice is dry/hard and not great , Staff are ok but not happy or very helpful

Delicious and affordable

I love eating at Govinda's and getting the all-you-can-eat option for $12.90! The food is always delicious, super filling, and wholesome. Lot's of chickpeas, beans, veggies, kofte, rice, spices, and pudding for dessert (the mains are usually curry style dishes). Dinner also includes a refillable drink. A couple of the dishes are usually strictly vegetarian, but the majority are vegan. I have taken omni friends on many occasions and they have really enjoyed the food.

Pros: Affordable, good value, Excellent food, all you can eat!, Friendly staff

Excellent value! Wholesome food ( ᐛ )و

All you can eat for 12.90 AUD!
Had 3 plates of rice, Curry, koftas, salad and chutney and 3 puddings, with 3 glasses of lemongrass and ginger tea.

Even after I became full, i was allowed to have a whole nother meal to take away! :o

Needless to say, I am very impressed with Govindas and will be visiting again.

Pros: Excellent value. , Wholesome, well balanced food., Tasty drinks

Cons: I felt cheeky for getting such good value., I had to loosen my belt., My wallet is still heavy.

All you can eat for 12.90AUD (about £7). Curry, rice, koftas, chutney, salad and a pudding (could have had semolina with custard also). at Govinda's - CBD in Brisbane
