Govindas

This is a vegetarian buffet restaurant run by Hare Krishnas with a movie room upstairs. The food here was excellent and far exceeded my expectations. Some foods I enjoyed there include:

Spicy vegetable soup with barley and lots of coriandar
Lasagne with lentils topped with mashed potato and cheese
Cauliflower fritters in a spicy batter
Penne with tomato sauce- simple but a quality dish

Dessert is not part of the buffet and can be ordered separately. Service is reasonable, the restaurant is a comfortable place to relax and chat. The movie room is very comfortable with couches rather than chairs. They tend to show arthouse films. I saw 'Happy go lucky' about the everyday life of a primary school teacher in London.

Initially I did think for a vegetarian buffet it was expensive but given the good quality of the food and the movie being cheap I decided it was entirely worthwhile.

Buffet $19.50
Movie $8
112 Darlinghurst Road Darlinghurst
