Govinda's Pure Vegetarian Restaurant

Outstanding food! If you are a vegan or a vegetarian or a foodie for that matter, this place has to be on your list. There is a 'Hare Krishna' temple on top and a restaurant underneath.

I love Indian food because (1) I usually have more food options as I follow a pure vegetarian [no onion/garlic] diet and (2) I'm in England where Indian food is said to be awesomely delicious. I had heard about this place and was in the area just in time for dinner. It was a Sunday.

Govinda's is as good as it gets because:

3. No one bothers you! You pick your food, pay, grab a fork and sit down to do whatever you want to do (read, stare into the space, lick your plate..sky is the limit)

Will I be back? You bet! more
