Govinda - Kolkata

If you are a vegetarian or have allergies to onion and garlic, Govinda is the perfect restaurant for you. It is also reasonably priced.

This restaurant has lovely decorations and a varied menu with the option to choose dishes without cheese. The Govinda Dal dish was particularly delicious. Unfortunately, I had to take my food to go by mistake.

This is the second restaurant in town, and it is very fashionable. The food is exceptionally delicious.

Renovation work was going on when we went there, so you don't immediately see from the street where the restaurant is, but once inside you find yourself in a colonial type ballroom with guilded stucco and paintings of lord krishna's pastimes. Ac is quite cold so come prepared with a shawl or sweater. We ordered the simple thali at Rs 140 and were not disappointed, the food was very fresh and tasty. We especially enjoyed the bhindi subji (ladyfingers), the food was not oily or heavy and you get a refill of most of the subjis and dal as well as rotis. There is a sweets counter with a few snacks and many sweets and some eggless cakes. They looked yummy but we were too full to try any. Highly recommended

Beautiful place with beautiful decorations. many options on the menu, they can choose without a cheese option. govinda dal is very tasteful. I have to take my lunch.
