We had come to ISKCON (Hare Krishna) temple and glad that we tried food at Govinda’s. Awesome awesome awesome. If I could, I would have rated more than 5 star. Amazing and delicious lunch. Definitely a must try when in that area. Staff is pretty amazing and welcoming. Looks like there ... is a special cook on Wednesdays 🤗☺️ Read more

We had a couple of appointments in the Lower Mainland today, and had lunch at ISKCON Vancouver (Hare Krishna Temple) in Burnaby. Govindas is located on the grounds of the temple, surrounded by a peaceful landscape. The restaurant offers vegetarian/vegan food, and they use organic ingredients grown on the grounds. ... The Indian thali selections were delicious, and the staff were so kind, gentle, and welcoming. The food is blessed before serving, and made with “love and devotion.” We were transported away from our city lives, yet steps away from Marine Drive. We felt grateful for this nourishing food, and for the people who grew it, cooked it, and served it. Thank you. 🙏🏻 Read more

A unique experience in terms of dining. One important thing to note first and foremost is that the restaurant no longer serves all you can eat for one price due to COVID-19. This is just to clarify for anyone who wants to pay one price and eat until full. There is no ... longer a buffet style all you can eat. I was a bit confused at first expecting a self serve style buffet however upon arrival, that was no longer the case. The atmosphere here is peaceful and quiet, nicely tucked away in a thick forestry area along Marine Drive in South Burnaby. It is situated on an Hindu Temple ground - serving religion oriented food and philosophy. The restaurant does not have a set menu, but rather serves omakase style - meaning the chef changes up the menu on a daily basis. For approximately $15, one can expect a very hearty and ample lunch thali - all ingredients grown right on the temple ground's own organic food garden. Great value and healthy. The cooking is light - but I prefer to use the word 'Gentle'. Light on fat, seasoning and zero processed ingredients. All made with much love. It is a meal fit for Gods and commoners alike. The community and people working here are simply amazing and kind. Come here to nourish your tummy - but even more importantly, to nourish your soul. Read more

Loved dining at Govinda's. The price is very reasonable given the fact that their buffets are all you can eat. The food tasted great. They have really redone the entire place. It's got a very cozy vibe and a nice ambience. It's very clean and the tables are senatized frequently. ... The redone patio is really cool too and is a welcome addition. Read more
