Pure Vegetarian Govinda's Restaurant

“Amazing vegetarian/vegan spot, such a great find! I had the paneer tikka masala and it was honestly one of the best I’ve ever had, full of flavour and perfect with the lachha paratha. The samosas were super fresh and nicely crunchy, and the cheese naan was spot on with just the right amount of cheese. They also serve Thai dishes, which is a nice bonus. Service was quick and really friendly. We ended up chatting with the waiter about how tricky it can be to find good vegetarian food in Thailand, which made us appreciate this place even more (we might have slightly shocked him with how fast we finished everything). Very reasonable prices and the they also accept card (small 3% surcharge), which is always a plus. If they opened in London (especially in our area), we would be regulars instantly!”

“Felt like HOME!! ❤️ Stumbled upon the newly opened GOVINDA’s restaurant, for anyone who is looking for pure Jain and vegetarian Indian Food. This is your place. Lovely taste, blissful atmosphere, pleasant and courteous staff! Hare Krishna music playing in the background, quite contrast from the neighbourhood. As it is nestled in the very famous tourist area, Chaweng Beach, Ko Samui. Food here is enjoyed by not only Indians but people from all countries. The Chole Bhature was yummy!! Please note, as it is a restaurant which follows ISKCON, you won’t get anything with onion garlic. Good: 5/5 Atmosphere: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Location: 5/5 Vibe: 5/5 Overall: 5/5 Hare Krishna!!”

“If you’re looking to escape the hustle and bustle of the city, Govinda’s is a true hidden gem. Tucked away on the first floor of a quiet mall, the restaurant offers a peaceful, airy atmosphere that feels miles away from the street noise below. The spacious hall provides a relaxed setting that's perfect for a long lunch or a calm dinner. ​The food, however, is the real star of the show. Here are a few highlights: ​Sweet and Sour Mock Chicken: Truly divine. The texture is spot-on, and the balance of tanginess and sweetness is expertly handled. It’s a must-order for anyone craving a hearty, flavorful dish. ​Fruit Shakes: These are incredibly impressive. Even when ordered without added sugar, they are naturally and deliciously sweet—a testament to the quality and ripeness of the fruit they use. ​The Service: The staff are absolutely lovely. Their warm hospitality makes the dining experience feel personal and welcoming from the moment you walk in. ​Whether you are a longtime plant-based eater or just looking for a high-quality meal in a serene environment, Govinda’s is well worth the visit.”

“Govinda’s in Koh Samui is a hidden gem that I loved so much I visited twice! Located on the top floor above Top’s Daily, it’s a cozy, welcoming spot with a diverse menu that caters to vegans, vegetarians, and meat-eaters alike. And full of flavor! The staff are friendly and knowledgeable, and the owner is very personable. On my first visit, I enjoyed crispy Aloo Tikki with delicious dipping sauces and a customizable “Fake” Chicken Masala paired with rice and Aloo Nan. The mocktails were refreshing as well. During my second visit, I started with a vegan Indian Chi made with coconut milk, followed by fresh hummus salad and hot, flavorful samosas. My main dish was Veg Karai with cauliflower, carrots, and beans, served with spicy Aloo Nan. For dessert, I had mango sticky rice, it was perfectly sweet and fresh. Highly recommend Govinda’s for anyone visiting Koh Samui! They have great food, friendly service, and a cozy atmosphere!”
