Govinda’s

Get hooked on Indian food in Karama 3 Reviews

From Time Out Dubai Eating Out 2009

If you haven’t heard of Govinda’s, you have clearly been living under a boulder-sized rock. This 100 per cent Indian vegetarian restaurant has branches around the world, adhering to staunch practises that ensure culinary purity of everything they serve.

Such is the popularity of this Karama favourite, you’ll need to battle with the city’s Indian community to get a table. Don’t expect much when it comes to decor – it’s cosy and clean, with soft lighting and religious paintings, but do expect great food.

Try the yellow dahl with spinach; it’s satisfyingly wholesome, as is the vegetable haridwar. And the sweet toothed haven’t been forgotten – try the tru frut ice cream, which is sugar free and 100 per cent natural, in exotic flavours like rose petal, dates, or lychee mango.
