Ok food.

I got the plate of the day. Spaghetti with lentil balls. And a green soup with pina juice. The best part is it was only like $3.50. The juice was worth that. The rest was very flavorless. But I’m happy to find vegan food in the big city. In hind site I should have also asked for less oil. But overall ok. I added spices to the soup and then dumped it over the spaghetti. Haha. Better.

Pros: Cheap & fast, Decent size portion. , Great juice

Cons: Flavorless, Bit oily

Sopita deliciosa

La sopa verde de un vegetal como espinaca (no recuerdo el nombre) era muy rico, especialmente con el pan. El batido de frutas rojas también. Para el batido verde, pedimos panela porque solo no sabe tan bueno solo, pero ya con la panelita- super. Pide los cubiertos metales. - Ask for metal utensils (they tried to give us plastic ones at first). 🥄♻️

Govindas

Es muy bueno, pero para elegir un plato vegano como por ejemplo una hamburguesa hay que pedirles que retiren el queso.

Pros: Opciones veganas

Cons: Usan mucho queso en los platos

Lento y caro

Solo había una persona atendiendo para muchos pedidos. El restaurante nos dió una espera aprox de 20min y tardó una hora en hacer una hamburguesa y un plato de pasta.

Pros: Variedad de menú

Cons: Muy caro para lo que es, Servicio lento, Muy grasoso y poco sabor

Good one.

I've been there twice (and just before typing this review sent an update regarding the opening times and address that are completely wrong, the real address is 6CWQ+WW Medellín, Departamento de Antioquia)

It's some fast food, so do not expect astounding cuisine but it's nevertheless good and the person who works there is very friendly.
It opens until 23h at least two days per week, Google says only on Friday and Saturday but could be some other days too, I can't remember what the guy told me.

If you come late, say after 21h or 22h, many options are not available any more, also for the drinks.

I once took an Asian meal (called Arroz Meditarraneo but it tasted like what you'd find in the streets of Singapore, Malaysia, parts of China), it comes with a salad, sautéed vegetables and soya proteins, etc. and a drink. The other time I took a Paella veg, like a paella but vegan, good as well.

It's in a food court and there are seats reserved for people with disabilities.

Pros: Nice staff, Good food

All vegetarian

We had a lot of delicious food at govindas. The vegan hot dog is one of the best I've ever had. The restaurant also offer some vegan meat products, like vegan sausage.

Only for emergency food

I was really happy to find them open on a Sunday evening, but there were only 2 of about more than 20 dishes on the menu available. Both the pasta and the rice dish were warmed up and not freshly made, which is ok, but for that and the quality of the food I found it rather expensive (50 400 COP for two dishes and two drinks). The staff-member was rather unfriendly as well, at least for Colombian standarts.

Pros: Open on Sunday evening

Cons: Rather unfriendly staff, Very limited choice , Not fresh food
