Govinda's - Maungakiekie-Tamaki

Best authentic pure vegetarian Indian food in Auckland (i've tasted all . With a great little Krishna temple around back (a must see! , which is the only hindu temple in Auckland that has an attached restaurant. Their masala dosa is the best ever! Anything can be made vegan (without dairy : Great prices! 7 or 10 dollars for a plate!

No idea what I wanted or how to understand the menu but the kind friendly chef owner was very patient, listened to what I like (cauliflower and paneer) and helped me. Puri (fried flatbread) is awesome and I thought I'd only need 2x. He chuckled at me and recommend x6! He was right. The food is reasonably priced, exotic and tasty and the cooks are lovely. I was back again the following week to try new dishes. Biggest tip: when they say $35 for 2 they mean it. Its easy to order too much food... but worth it

Wonderful food and they cater to vegans and gluten-free, too. I eat here regularly and haven't had a bad meal ever. I thoroughly recommend!

Very delicious pure veg dinner plate and perfect cup of masala chai. Will definitely go again!

Lovely people, amazing food! Vege and vegan , we go at least once a week! Always feel welcome. A real hidden gem. #vegan #vegetarian
