    Very friendly and helpful gentleman that served me. Lovely restaurant. I had the Thali as a take away which I liked however I would of preferred it spicier with a bit more bite. This was enough for 2 people.

    Loved the places! The environment is cozy, the service is great and fast, what I really appreciated. We had the menu that is worth it. I liked everything I had, from the entrance to the desert and I recommend the restaurant. Note that I’m not a vegetarian, but I liked it anyway ☺️

    Only good that it's vegetarian (but serves Vegan sausage also). Forget about taste, leave alone the authentic. Food leaves a lot to be desired (samosa inside was still cold, Nan was just applied butter on hot plate very quickly ready made nan). Reasonable price. Portion is good for one person. If you are vegetarian this is one of your options

    A rare gem in the city. Full vegetarian Indian menu. Owner is full of good vibes. Thali reminded me of home.

    This restaurant does not deserves any star at all. Being an Indian I can say Worst Indian food I have ever had. This restaurant did not serve fresh food at all. We ordered samosa, daal and biryani. Samosas were heated in oven and not freshly fried. Stale daal was served. Biryani was not even close to biryani. It was like pulao and it was heated in oven and served not freshly made. I do not recommend if you are planning to taste an Indian food on a foreign land, this is definitely not the place trying.

    (Translated by Google) Excellent restaurant, excellent service, for good food lovers. I was there 5 years ago, just thinking about the food I ate So Ma'al wanted to get on a plane to Barcelona just for the ride Eat again at the excellent restaurant !!! (Original) מסעדה מעולה, שרות מצויין, לאוהבי אוכל טוב. הייתי שם לפני 5 שנים, רק המחשבה על האוכל שאכלתי אז מעלה חשק לעלות על מטוס לברצלונה רק בשביל לאכול שוב במסעדה המעולה !!!

    100% pure Hindu Satvic bhojan, accompanied with sastriya music. Host is very charming. A must recommended for vegetarians and others who want to try authentic Indian food.

    Ordered a shared food to eat with my boyfriend, as we are not a big eater the portion was quite big for us. The atmosphere of the restaurant is nice and cozy, the waiter is very friendly and nice. The price is OK. They sell vegetarian menu. I usually didn't like Indian food that much but this restaurant serve a delicious food

    The food here was absolutely awful. Worst Indian food I’ve had in my life. The decor might be nice, but don’t let that fool you. Everything was stale—the dal, paneer, malai kofta, etc. The waiter admitted himself that he had heated up the naan—it was awful as well. If you want traditional, actually good Indian food—don’t go here. There is also no onion or garlic, which are the ingredients that make Indian food so flavorful. Spend your money elsewhere, and you will thank me.

  • 5/5 Pere Reche Q. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) I had never been to a vegetarian site and I liked it a lot. The salad-free buffet was super complete and I liked the other dishes, especially the desserts. (Original) Nunca había ido a un sitio solo vegetariano y me gustó mucho. El buffet libre de ensalada era super completo y los demás platos me gustaron mucho, sobretodo los postres.

  • 5/5 María C. 2 years ago on Google
    Food is delicious and the space is very cute and clean. Love all the vegan options and everything tasted homemade. Highly recommend this place!

  • 1/5 Prats D. 1 year ago on Google
    overhyped, not flexible , mr.nadeem must be a little more friendly. less on staff they are not able to manage crowds. old man there is very racist. he does not know how to talk to customers. if the restaurant is named after govinda then this is sheer disappointment of lord krishnas priciples of welcoming and treating the guests. food quality is very average.

  • 1/5 Sabine S. 4 years ago on Google
    We were very disappointed; food was not fresh and not tasty, very dull too. Our tummies were bothering us for the rest of the day.Service is careless; waiter saw that we barely ate the food on our plates, we expressed our disappointment and that we will not have the dessert included in the menu, the waiter said ‘OK’ and gave us the bill, we paid and left, we did not get a goodbye nor an apology. We regret going, there are so many places in Barcelona with delicious foods, we picked the wrong place for lunch, take your money elsewhere and enjoy. We understand why the place was empty!

  • 5/5 Stacey C. 2 years ago on Google
    We stopped here for lunch while shopping. Really delicious menu del dia with a lot of good options. Since my husband and I are both vegetarian, it's nice knowing you can order anything on the menu without having to make changes. The atmosphere was great, and the gentleman who helped us was so nice. I've bookmarked this restaurant to bring friends and family when they visit. We will definitely be back.

  • 5/5 André T. 4 years ago on Google
    Beautiful and clean place, very kind staff and good food. Loved every dish we had, particularly the hamburger as many vegetarian places fail to give it the good consistency. Not a huge fan of vegetarian food, loved this one!

  • 5/5 Laura L. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing Indian food!!! Literally the best you’ve ever had. Even if you’re a meat eater, you won’t miss a thing. Super good location, cute interior as well and the prices are really good for the amount and quality of the food you get. Would absolutely recommend! We had the thali Gov and shared it between me and my friend, it’s perfect for two people! Naan you ask for extra on the side.

  • 5/5 felicity h. 1 year ago on Google
    Absolutely beautiful. The bloke who served me was so lovely and welcoming. And when I ordered the big plate with a bit of everything on it, he happily altered it so everything on it was vegan for me. The atmosphere was calm and relaxing too. One of the top govindas I've been to.

  • 3/5 Aditya K. 1 year ago on Google
    This is a feedback from an Indian - The food way okay. We were served old bread and frozen vegetable (kofta). Not very impressed with the meals they have. Dessert and drink options are good!

  • 5/5 WeaselBeeH K. 1 year ago on Google
    The food here is just divine! Absolutely love it. It's very vegan friendly, allergy friendly. The staff is 100% aware of food allergies one can have and understands 100% the ingredients on the menu. Portion sizes are perfect. The staff is super friendly. I have nothing to complain.

  • 5/5 Dominic S. 1 year ago on Google
    Great option for a healthy and cheap meal in Barcelona. Everything is vegetarian or vegan here. We ate the weekend set menu which was very reasonably priced and included 3 courses. The food was very tasty and nourishing containing a variety of vegetables which was refreshing after all the usual cheese, bread, pork etc in Spain. The gentleman who served us was very friendly and spoke great English too. Highly recommended and would visit again next visit to Barcelona

  • 5/5 Kruthigass s. 1 year ago on Google
    Very delicious vegetarian lunch and the gentlemen are so kind and friendly. The ambience is so divine. Do not miss the lemon exotic aka lemon water (nimbu paani in Hindi) and the masala chai, it's so so authentic and energizing and tasty 😋!!! We had a very wonderful time!!! Thank you so much for such tasty and yummy food !

  • 5/5 Paras J. 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent food, service and above all pure vegetarian restaurants.

  • 2/5 Vero V. 1 year ago on Google
    Perhaps I ve been unlucky but the food (lunch menu) was terrible. The soup was bitter and salty and the main dish was peas floating in tomato sauce, two invisible pieces of paneer, spicy as hell, which i do love but perhaps it would be nice to ask/warn. The rice was crunchy, couldn't be eaten. The dessert was nice though, the service was fast and the place is pleasant.

  • 5/5 Miluse H. 1 year ago on Google
    My husband and I had a lovely experience at Govindas. The homemade Chapatis are very nice and the samosas are top notch! Very flavorful vegetarian food with many vegan options. The service was very good and friendly. We will definitely come again!

  • 5/5 Felix W. 1 year ago on Google
    Very cute place with very good food! We both got the menú del día and were very pleased. The lassi is also delicious. Our waiter was very nice and spoke with us for a few minutes about our travels. Overall a very nice experience!

  • 3/5 Hands B. 11 months ago on Google
    Food is more than ok, though some indian restaurants in the vicinity offer more quality at a higher price. Service ia so-so, as they are usually busy. Atmosphere is cozy.

  • 5/5 Susan Morrissey W. 10 months ago on Google
    Wonderful food and great service at a reasonable price. Was very happy to find this place on our trip to Barcelona—it became our go-to spot for lunch!

  • 1/5 Tappu T. 9 months ago on Google
    The food tastes very bad awful they gave the stale food and when I returned they replaced the Dhal with fresh one and other dishes taste Totally Sour and the taste was horrible… How they cheat the people in the name of the God

  • 5/5 Becky A. 9 months ago on Google
    Delicious vegetarian Indian-style food, fresh decoration and a very friendly waiter who also speaks English. One thalis plate for 2 people is good for a light-medium lunch. Soy kofta and paneer with curried sauce was my fave on the plate. The coconut dessert was delicious, as was the spiced carrot cake. Highly recommend.

  • 5/5 Venkat Raman P. 6 months ago on Google
    Don’t expect food here like any other Indian restaurants. This place serves different style of dishes which are simple yet very nutritious and delicious. We tried both the thalis and they were great! Everything tasted fresh and just like home style cooked. As already mentioned they were not overly oily or spicy but just right. With thalis you get complete mean from starters to dessert all in one plate. The service was friendly and quick.

  • 5/5 Chandra Kanth R. 9 months ago on Google
    The food is excellent. I went there for lunch and tried the weekend menu, which had starter + main + side. The people are nice also with great atmosphere and ambience. To Indians, don't go here thinking it's authentic Indian food and give bad reviews later. Go with the intention that it's new cuisine. The chapati is actually a tortilla, Kofta is made in tomato sauce like Italians do. I do have a to admit, its a bit pricey Having said that, I highly recommend this place.

  • 5/5 Carla Y. 4 years ago on Google

  • 4/5 Josep B. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) They have refurbished it since my last visit and the menu format has also changed somewhat. I think it has lowered some price, but it is that now also comes the drink, which before not. The quality of the dishes is still good, with which all are pleasant novelties. The atmosphere is relaxed and the service is right. (Original) Lo han reformado desde mi última visita y también ha cambiado algo el formato del menú. Creo que ha bajado algo de precio, pero es que además ahora entra la bebida, que antes no. La calidad de los platos sigue siendo buena, con lo cual todos son agradables novedades. El ambiente es relajado y el servicio correcto.

  • 1/5 María Arroyo S. 4 years ago on Google
    Poor experience. If you are expecting to have a tasty meal fairly priced, I’d suggest you not visiting this place. The food is average and portions are small. But the worst for me is they denied me tap water, they only “sell” water. How can they be so mean and stingy?

  • 2/5 Mirela I. 4 years ago on Google
    Nice design, clean venue but mediocre food, it seems to be prepared days ago. Too expensive considering the poor quality.

  • 1/5 Pratik G. 4 years ago on Google
    We were mislead by the good reviews but the Indian food here is terrible. The Samosa had to be wrapped in two tissues to remove the oil, and the curry felt like it was couple days old and didn't have any spices at all.

  • 5/5 Satya Swaroop R. 5 years ago on Google

  • 1/5 Rob G. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The worst service received in my life. The waiter has not told me a word since I entered until I left. He approached the table with the face of "I want to go now" saying "yes" to take note. Then he left the dishes on the table as if he were a dog to feed. He did the same with the dessert menu. I will not come back. (Original) El peor servicio recibido en mi vida. El camarero no me ha dicho ni una palabra desde que entré hasta que sali. Se acercó a la mesa con cara de “me quiero ir ya” diciendo “si” para tomarme nota. Luego dejó los platos encima de la mesa como si fuera un perro al que hay de dar de comer. Con la carta de los postres hizo lo mismo. No volveré.

Nor was it incorrect, it simply gave the feeling of impatience and unresponsive to questions about a menu almost unknown to me. (Original) Lugar y ambiente perfecto y acogedor. La comida perfecta, la atención quizás mejorable, al menos en el caso del camarero que nos tocó.
