A small but very good vegan food restaurant. Went to their Sunday Buffet with friends. I recommend not trying to meet a large group and expect to be comfortably seated indoors. We will go back for an out doors seating weather! A very nice variety of vegan recipes on the buffet line, all you can eat. They offer senior discount.
Delicious simple food with great flavor. All vegetarian and all but a few options were vegan on the day we visited. The grounds are beautiful and peaceful which invited a spiritual and friendly vibe.
I am a strict Vegan, so I had been going to Govindas once a month after Sweet Tomatoes salad bar chain went out of business. I got accused of trying to take food out by the cashier. I could not finish the (2) mini cakes, I covered up the (2) mini cakes, for my Mom, to eat a Govindas (there were flies). I wanted to keep flies off: When I was accused I tried to explain this: And was ignored. Meanwhile, there were several people filling up, walking out, bypassing the cashier to the outside (NOT a peep to them. Furthermore, the food is not warm; should be hot, pancakes, soup, vegan eggs. Keeping an Eagle on on me, PAID IN FULL, and those who came and left (not paid), I was picked, an it was not professional. I am a regular customer, and have strong morale vegan Jewish American religious beliefs. Furthermore, you CAN NOT accuse anyone of stealing food unless he leaves the building. I was in the building, and my Mom intended on eating the (2) cakes in the building.
Being Indian, I really like the food and the environment. Very authentic Indian food. The best time to visit is for dinner and dining outside.
This place is divine. Peaceful environment (fountain, birds, trees, soft sitar music) and plentiful, incredible food. I am a professional chef, and can tell you that everything is properly and thoughtfully seasoned and balanced. My body feels fantastic after the meal. Can’t wait to return again and again. What a beautiful offering to the world you have there :)
Great experience, serine settings and quaint staff. Small but VERY soulful selection. Fresh and intentionally made, through and through. If you are looking for a safe and niche menu/location, this is it. A bit awkward footprint of the entrance and access to foods, register or seating because it's woven between the gift shops to go through first and hinting at donations etc but I felt gratitude with the interactions there. They sometimes have casual live musicians outside on patio for easy listening in the evening. I went more than 3x while staying in Tucson for the Gem shows! *Great vegan guilt-free meal.
From the cuisine to the aviary ✨Sunday Brunch: 10/10 Highly recommend
Beautiful outdoor dining. The food is delicious. The buffet area is very clean and well organized. I want to visit the Temple and asked some questions and was told where I can some videos. I watched the videos and was surprised to see all the cellphones held up as well as the entire service being on camera. Where I'm from we don't record or allow recording devices in the Temple. A place of worship should be free of modern technology. That is my opinion.
Love this place so much. Delicious Earth, animal and health friendly buffet. Menu that changes daily, desserts both on the buffet and a la cart. Adorable gift shop with affordable prices. Vegan and vegetarian friendly.
This was a great place to try especially if you’re vegetarian or vegan. They had foods I’ve never had before and we all know it can be exciting to try something different! The price was also very fair for a buffet especially considering the unique food selection. I’ve gone twice now and I’d definitely come back again. It’s worth a try.
