Feedback
The curry here is very bland and made in the cheapest possible way. The spices are not properly cooked down which results in the dish tasting inauthentic. Barely any rice on the plate. Interior is not well kept. Tables around us were dirty throughout our whole visit there. Staff was unfriendly and didn't respond to our smiles and greetings. Very negative energy inside from the staff. Not going back.
Amazing vegetarian food. Used to be pay as you feel but now set prices. Still a very cheap meal and nutritious and delicious. Sometimes closes early before real closing time which is disappointing.
The signage says it's a Hare Krishna restaurant which I presume means it's run by a chap who follows the Hare Krishna order and the food is vegetarian. A basic, self service place wherein food is kept in large vats to choose from and depending on what you choose, you pay. As expected the later in the evening you go, the more stale will the food be. I walked in for a quick dinner near the train station and frankly for 10 bucks, you can't expect much more.
Love this place. Vegan Thali with Dahl, Curried chickpea and veg. Saffron rice, salad and poppadom for $10. Brilliant value and super filling.
If you are after budget, tasty indian styled vegetarian cusine in Northbridge, I'd recommend Govindas. You have to take it for what it is... veggie stews, pakoras and Samosas (think soggy overcooked veggies in the stewsbut still, for the price... it's a hearty meal on offer, with authentic indian spices and flavours, and super-cheap. Run by Hare Krishnas staff are kind and portion sizes generous. Great student food.
