Tasty, cheap and popular, Govinda’s is Budapest’s only Hare Krishna restaurant. It’s below street level, down a staircase with a hazardously low ceiling, and has a good and varied range of starters, mains, side dishes and desserts. Food is served canteen-style – typically, this includes a number of different types of curry, baked dishes (vegetable lasagne, for example), Indian puri, pakorak, salad and desserts. An average meal might come to just over one thousand forints.
Apart from the shop, which alongside fabric, tea and spices has a number of Hare Krishna pamphlets, Govinda’s doesn’t feel particularly different from any other vegetarian or Indian restaurant. It’s open from Monday through Sunday, and can get very busy at lunchtimes.
