Amazing food & people - Edit
This (hard to find!) restaurant is fully vegetarian & has plenty of vegan options. The staff are some of the nicest people we’ve met, and happy to accommodate our wishes.

Lovely food - Edit
Went here multiple times whilst I was on holiday - the food is so yummy (I recommend the vegan spanish potato omelette). There were plenty of vegan options and its listed on the menu which are veggie and which are vegan - just be aware of which symbol is which as I assumed the V with a leaf would be vegan like it is in England but it was the other way around!
Read moreAlso be aware maps will not take you all the way to the restaurant and you will be left standing there confused! The resteraunt is on the same side as all the little shops and supermarkets, then down the stairs and through a tunnel where there used to be lots of shops before covid happened.
Pros: Delicious, Lovely atmosphere, Drinks are very good
Cons: All drinks are alcohol free (but very tasty), Slow waiters (but very nice and its Spain! Relax), Food takes a while to come out

Great food. Great selection - Edit
Fantastic food and really friendly. Something for everyone. We had a spring rolls and samosas to start, then a burger, a lasagne, a pizza, and a chickpea curry. Then we all had mango ice cream and possibly the best brownie we've ever had for dessert. All vegan. All delicious. Plus the service was excellent. A fantastic evening out for 4 of us and for €60 total. An easy 5* rating.
Read more**It's a little tricky to find. If you follow Google maps you'll end up down the wrong street. The photos show you where to go. At the BBVA bank there are some stairs. Go down there and Govinda's is under the archway**
Pros: Lots of different types of food, Friendly service, Good food at a great price
Cons: It's hard to find if you follow your phone!

Delicious food - Edit
First of all it was so hard to find it (neither the app nor google maps guide you correctly) that we had to call the restaurant to find it.
Read moreWe got there 20 min before closing time but it seemed no problem to serve us the menu of the day, fully vegan. We had pumpkin cream, koftas and mango ice cream, everything was very tasty. As a starter we also tried their vegan tortilla, it was very good. It’s a pity they don’t have coffee.
Pros: Delicious food, Friendly staff, Not expensive
Cons: Very difficult to find, No coffee or tea

A bit hidden but worth searching for - Edit
It's a pity that you can have buffet only on sundays because it's probably the best about this restaurant. Even though the daily menus were surprisingly big and delicious as well. Especially the indian dishes are very authentic. Nommmmmm-aste!
Read moreThe fake meat dishes can be pretty disappointing though. Pizza is good but surely not the best I've eaten. All in all I would definitely recommend going there!
Pros: Very authentic indian dishes
Cons: A bit hidden

Nice food...eventually - Edit
We went here in November so it was out of season. The buffet was not on but there was a menu with a number of vegan options.
Read moreRestaurant was extremely quiet and we were the only ones in there for most of the time. This meant we could have a chat to the owner who was a really nice guy. We chatted about the food and about Harry Krishna and everything was great. However unfortunately the food coming out was a bit of an issue. My partners food came out after a short wait and by the time he had finished mine still had not arrived, considering he had a starter and main I was slightly annoyed. When it did turn up though it was very nice. I had the pizza which was made using zucchini cheese which was really unusual! The other half had the vegetable meal which consisted of veggies, rice, salad and soup. It was all very tasty and reasonably priced. I would definitely go back it was just a shame about the timing!
One other point was that it is quite hard to find, you need to go down some stairs into a mini shopping centre and straight through the the back and the restaurant is on the other side
Pros: Tasty food, Good price
Cons: Long time for food to arrive, Was expecting the buffet

They could use our support - Edit
Healthy ‘homemade’ food not processed. If you are used to processed fancy food this place will be basic for you. If you like to eat healthy and back to real food this is the right place.
Read morePros: Healthy(!) everything they make themselves , Good price (except the pizza), Very friendly good people!
Cons: Hard to find, inside their temple (but they are not pushing)

Highly recomended - Edit
I can highly recommend this place. Very friendly stuff. For 9 euro you get full taste vegetarian buffet: a cup of soup and a big plate of 5-6 Indian-inspired tasty, healthy and nutritious dishes. Plus sweet dessert and drink.

Wholesome vegan feast - Edit
If you're looking for wholesome vegan food then look no further. This is the sort of place where they just make you feel at home, while also filling you are with hearty platefuls. The menu changes day to day and there's a multitude of options to choose from once you're there. We have visited twice now because it's really relaxed, calm, and welcoming. Granted the place itself is pretty big and we haven't seen it busy, but that's not too important. The food is good and plentiful!
Read moreGo visit for an affordable fill and chill.
Pros: Relaxed and friendly , Hearty portions, Wholesome food, not junk

Leider enttäuschend! - Edit
Wir sind voller guter Erwartungen, aufgrund der Bewertungen hier, sowie Empfehlungen via Facebook extra hingefahren.
Read moreDas Lokal wirkte, als man es denn endlich gefunden hatte (ist leider nicht leicht ersichtlich), sehr karg und lieblos.
Man bot uns das nur Buffet an und erklärte, dass es neu sei mit täglich wechselnden Themen, heute sei es Thai.
Wir ließen uns das Essen auffüllen (man durfte nicht selbst nehmen).. die Auswahl war schon enttäuschend (Reis, Tofu-Gemüse in brauner Soße, Pakora Mango-Chutney, eine mehlige Soße/Suppe auf Kokosmilchbasis, eine Schüssel mit gemischtem Salat ohne erkennbares Dressing, Mayo und Ketchup).
Naja gut, aber die Auswahl ist ja nun nicht entscheidend für die Qualität des Essens.
Wir sind um 2100 Uhr also eine Stunde vor Ladenschluss erschienen, aber was uns an Resten in den Buffetschalen abgeboten wurde - puh...
Dann am Platz angekommen, mussten wir feststellen, das ausnahmslos alles kalt war. Wir merkten das auf Nachfrage hin an und wir bekamen je ein Stück Torte als Entschädigung. Das kalte Essen mussten wir trotzdem bezahlen.
Also ich bin seit über zwei Jahren vegan und wir gehen viel, oft und gerne essen und bei mir hat jedes vegan- vegetarische Restaurant, eigentlich seiner Existenz wegen schon 5 Sterne, aber das - es tut mir in der Seele weh- aber das konnte man niemandem anbieten.
Wir sind wirklich wirklich enttäuscht & haben das allererste Mal in unserem Leben kein Trinkgeld geben (können).

Sitio tranquilo y con muchas opciones veganas - Edit
El bar se encuentra semi-escondido en unos bajos de un edificio, por lo qie hay que bajar unas escaleras desde la calle principal para acceder. Aún así es super agradable y cuenta con una agradable terraza exterior. La comida es tipo Buffet y las dos veces que he ido , todas las opciones eran veganas. El camarero es super-amable y te explica cada uno de los platos, los cuales están muy bien elaborados. El precio es de 8'5 euros y puedes comer todo lo que quieres. Al ser además un centro budista no sirven alcohol
Read morePros: Muchas opciones veganas, Alejado del ambiente turístico.Muy tranquilo , Barato

Indian Buffet - good value for money - Edit
5 Sterne für den Geschmack. Dieses vegane Buffet war sehr lecker. Es handelt sich außer bei den Pizzas, die extra angeboten werden, um ein indisches Buffet mit Salatbuffet zu einem sehr fairen Preis. Ich hatte mir wie eine Vorrednerin mehr Auswahl erwartet, aber nachdem ich dann alles einmal probiert habe und festgestellt habe, dass ALLES wunderbar schmeckt, habe ich gar keine größere Auswahl mehr gebraucht.
Read moreDie Inhaber sind sehr nett und gehen gerne individuell auf Wünsche ein.
Das Essen ist sehr gesund. Die Kuchen, die separat sind, sind mit Trockenfrüchten und Nüssen zubereitet und auch fast alle vegan. Außerdem wird eine hausgemachte, alkoholfreie Variante eines Mojitos und Pina Coladas angeboten. Beide schmecken nicht außergewöhnlich sind aber auch sehr gesund und vor allem mehr als preiswert (1,50 € jeder).
Schade, dass das Restaurant am Abend noch sehr nackt wirkt und so schlecht beschildert ist. Aber hier kann 2 Monate nach Eröffnung definitiv noch nachgebessert werden.
5 stars for the taste. This vegan buffet was delicious. It's except of the pizzas that are extra a indian and salad buffet for a very good price. I expected more choice as Aga also wrote before but as EVERYTHING of the buffet tasted great I did not miss anything after the first plate.
The owners are very nice and open to your individual wishes.
The buffet seemed to be very healthy. Also the cakes (mostly vegan, could be buyed as addition) were with nuts and dried fruits. Moreover you can get homemade, alcohol free cocktails Mojito and Pina Colada, which were with fresh mint and very good value for money (1,50 each).
It's a bit a pity that the restaurant is mostly non colourful and undecorated so that the presentation of the room and the food stays behind the taste. But after 2 months of opening there is still room for enhancements and improvement.
Pros: Healthy food with amazing taste, Good value for money, Nice owners
Cons: Cool atmosphere in the evening with missing deco

Trying hard - Edit
This guy needs us to visit! This is a new startup and they are trying hard to provide a veggie/vegan all you can eat buffet. It’s not easy to find and because there were very few customers the atmosphere isn’t the best, nor was there a huge amount of food pre cooked. As he pointed out, he doesn’t want to waste food so doesn’t go overboard. But the food was really tasty, there was enough for us to have 2 full plate loads and all but one of the options was vegan. We paid just over €6 for an Indian based buffet and it was really nice. The guy is very friendly and it would be great if we could all support him, after all, there are very few vegan places in Tenerife so this is a step in the right direction. Keep on growing Govindas, you have a good concept. 😃

Simple but tasty! - Edit
Simple homemade food with an Indian twist. Everything was vegan when I went to eat there. There were rice, pesto pasta, eggplant pakoras (these tasted amazing!), vegetable stew, chickpea stew, spicy potatos, soups and fresh vegetables. I was eating alone but the atmosphere was cozy and the staff very friendly and nice.
