" I visited Govinda’s last weekend and was blown away by the experience. The best part was the authentic Indian flavors that reminded me of home. The owner greeted us with a warm smile and explained the daily special, which was a delightful thali filled with various vegetable curries, rice, and a sweet treat. For only $8, I left feeling completely satisfied and nourished. The restaurant's mission to support the community is truly admirable. I will definitely be back to support this gem! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently took my friends to Govinda’s for lunch, and we were all pleasantly surprised. The food was excellent and truly authentic, without any fancy frills. I loved that everything is vegetarian, and the thali was more than enough to fill our stomachs. However, it did take a while for our food to arrive, and the tables were somewhat cramped. Regardless, the warm service and the owner’s friendly nature made it a pleasant experience. We’ll definitely be back! " (*Curated Review*)
