    Awesome vegetarian food. Served hot. Cushioned sitting on floor is recommended though normal chairs are available. You never feel that you are not eating in or around your hometown. Highly recommended for pure vegetarian people.

    This restaurant stands out in the country as it is one of those few places which offers different types of cuisine without a meat option. The food tasted good but the food took a while to get delivered. The vegan lasagna tasted very good and did not really taste like it was made with vegan milk. Opt for the international cuisine if you are in a hurry. Go for the Indian one only if you have an ample amount of time for your meal.

    Everything about this place gets a five star review from me. It is the best restaurant in Ao Nang (and one of my favorite in the world). The food is delicious, so nourishing and the atmosphere is also amazing. The owners and people that work here are the best. We loved it here and somehow wished we stayed longer in Ao Nang to get to eat and hang out more here ☺️ thank you!! 💕

    Best vegetarian vegan restaurant. Probably they wouldn't even use onions and garlic in their dishes. The ambience is super cool. Calm and relaxing vibes. Friendly staff. The food they serve is delicious but felt quantity can be improved. We had ordered green peas pulao, matar panner gravy, Hara bara kebabs and rotis. The rotis were soft and good. The green peas (matar) was fresh. Taste and service was great. Highly recommend as it's pure vegetarian.

    I don't know how to explain it but this is THE best vibe restaurant in Krabi. I came here last year and it was good, and now it's gotten even better! Regardless of your opinion on the food (some like things one way, some like it another), this atmosphere is very purifying. It feels more like eating in another land the way it's decorated. Absolutely purely vegetarian, with great vegan options, and the owner is one of the nicest brightest people you'll meet. If you haven't been here yet, you can't do Krabi without trying it once. TIP: Post COVID, it gets nice and quiet in the early afternoons, so come for lunch if you want the whole place to yourself for a more peaceful experience.

    Because we cannot give minus rating. Extremely unprofessional staff, they're rude and have uncomfortable ordering protocols. Food is definitely not upto the mark. Costly as well. Their are better vegetarian food or Indian food options in Krabi. Just roam around the market, and you'll find some. This one is just not worth it.

    Most bizarre experience I had traveling through all of Thailand. TLDR: awkward, sexist, uncomfortable owner pretending to be a waiter, food not worth the money. The food was ok, for the price definitely not worth it. Naan was literally 2 layers thick I didn't even know they can make it that thin. However the whole experience could be summed up buy the exceptionally rude waiter who I assume is the owner of this, by his appearance and demeanor. First he just outright ignored my girlfriend the whole time proceeding to ask me what she would like to eat and how spicy to make her food. Until it came time to pay which she offered to do much to his very obvious surprise. All that I can look over as a cultural difference. However it was painfully obvious that man did not want to be there. I can only speculate how he thought he would be contributing to the experience by trying to poorly fake being nice to people but it definitely had the opposite effect. He over-charged me for a bottle of water by over 300%, kept recommending I buy more things and was in general just were uncomfortable to be around. On top of everything before he even brought the check he asked us to leave a review, which we agreed to do. He proceeded to stand there and wait awkwardly for about a minute, and then asked us if we could do it in front of him........ Welp here's the review man. Reply: We were here in August 2019, I just literally never bothered to review it back then, it was just a story we told our friends, just never got bored enough to review it till whenever I wrote this.

    It was simply beautiful! Amazing atmosphere and the food was delicious. Especially being able to eat everything on the menu (as a vegetarian) was a very nice experience in Thailand.

    Nice ambiance but has no air conditioning. I was happy to find veg restaurant in Ao Nang but the food served doesn’t have onion & garlic by default. Liked the taste though. The service was expected to be faster with only two tables full at the time I visited.

    Wow. Just finished this meal and half way through I actually had to question life’s existence. The best Indian food I have ever had, actually just best food full stop! Last night we ordered western style food which was absolute heaven - pasta pizza fries all amazing, then tonight all Indian and let me just say - I will be remembering this meal for the rest of my life. Ordered all vegan too :)

    Amazing vegetarian food! We had a great time here and the food was super tasty. So many options to choose from and everything was delicious! You could choose the spice level, super convenient. Service was really lovely :) 100% would recommend if you’re a bit tired of Thai food!

    The Thai Food was very good! Loved the staff and the atmosphere. On one evening there was a group of people singing a “Hare Krishna Mantra” which was so nice to listen to.

    Located on a second floor, the entrance to this place is a bit hidden away but once you find it you'll be greeted by very kind people in a great environment. They serve vegan(Jain as well) and vegetarian food and are always willing and able to guide you to your preferred choices. Tonight we had their buffet and all the options except for one were vegan, and they were all incredibly delicious Thai and Indian dishes. Honestly anybody would be happy with the food served here, even meat lovers would be fooled by their fake chicken dishes. We left so satisfied and relaxed, and I personally can't wait to go back and try their pastries. The price is most definitely worth the experience and quality.

    If you dont go here at least once, you are missing something. The food is so so so good. We went here twice. The first time we had western food and the second time indian. Both absolutely amazing. The indian food in particular. We had vegetarian options and we asked for non spicy. And finally someone understand non spicy, and still had lots and lots of flavour. The indian spices are just... too good. The staff is super sweet and walk around with a smile. Also: the mango lassi is to die for. Would 100% reccomend and would go there again and again.

    The food is good but not as expected as Indian food in terms of spices. Kadai paneer and chole tasted like ready to make masala's. We had expected much more from Govinda's .

    I’m a vegetarian and I went to this restaurant for all my lunch and dinner when I was in Krabi. The ambience is nice & the food is delicious Some of the main items I tried are 1. Roti/Chapathi 2. Paneer butter masala 3. Mix veg curry 4. Special Thai fried rice 5. Veg biryani The prices are reasonable but the service is very late. You’ll have to wait like an hr for your food! If you are vegetarian I highly recommend this restaurant and do try the special Thai fried rice

    Amazing ambience, service was best. It’s 100% Jain restaurant. No onion No Garlic. Food and the service is good. Once you will visit here, you will definitely come again to have dinner or lunch here. In my 2 days in Krabi, I had dinner here only.

    What amazing 100% pure vegetarian food! They even have Jain & Vegan food options! They donMt even have onion & garlic in their menu, which is simply amazing! The owners are very sweet & caring for your food needs. The veg pizza, papaya salad, raita & Thai Fried Rice are delicious! You must ask the owner, Leela Ekadashi, her story! Ravishankar & Aradhna provided excellent service!

    Really delicious food and helpful staff. Beautifully decorated ambience and option to sit on short table or seating tables. It’s a big place on the first floor so keep an eye for the board while walking down the street. You can mention and customisation preference like vegan or spice levels.

  • 4/5 Dalicious H. 4 years ago on Google
    Good quality food and good relaxing place (2nd floor) but pricey for Indian and Thai food in Thailand. Would give 5 stars if cost was 25% less.

  • 4/5 Adam K. 2 years ago on Google
    Quite well known for their vegetarian/vegan cuisine so had to give it a go. Unfortunately, the buffet was not available and quite a few items including paneer curry were not available on the menu. (Hence my photo) Staff were extremely nice, very cute upstairs location and the soy meat food I did end up eating was decent. Of course they're known for the curries so I imagine they're nicer but I'm fussy! Probably would have given them a 3 star but they just reopened due to covid so understandable.

    I had the aloo copi (aloo gobi?) and omg it was so good. They had wifi, staff was so friendly (remember to say dhanwaad/thank you), and interior was beautiful (no shoes inside so super clean and aesthetic)

  • 4/5 Duncan M. 4 years ago on Google
    One of the nicest Indian meals I've had. The service was fast and friendly, worth coming to if you're vegetarian. The air circulation was not great so was quite hot their, and the meals were fairly expensive. 4 soft drinks, 2 mains, 1 rice was nearly 800 baht. Felt this was a bit steep.

  • 5/5 Dhruvil M. 1 year ago on Google
    Best Vegetarian and vegan in Krabi. The place is very beautiful, calm and relaxed. Perfect ambience, very delicious and authentic taste. Staff was super friendly as well. All in all it was a whole experience dining here. Highly recommended to visit. The place offers excellent view, sitting options and is kid friendly. Food quality was apt!

  • 1/5 Hayley P. 3 years ago on Google
    the owner was pretty misogynistic when taking my order, he instead asked my boyfriend about my preferred “spicy ness” level. He ignored me the entire time until I was the one to pay the check. Overall food was eh and overpriced, would not come back.

  • 4/5 Tanuj S. 3 years ago on Google

    On second floor. Entryway is nice. They required that we remove our shoes, but I liked that. Food was good. They serve vegetarian and vegan food. I had their buffet which allowed me to taste several Indian and Thai foods. All good. The special grill thing (photo posted) was really good too. People were friendly.

  • 4/5 Dan L. 4 years ago on Google
    It’s a little pricey, but the Indian food is definitely stellar. Not a huge fan of the falafel wrap, but the vegan ‘chicken’ masala was delicious. I ordered that, some rice, and a piece of roti and was absolutely stuffed.

  • 2/5 A C. 4 years ago on Google
    Meh, the all you can eat buffet is dull and flavourless. All the food on the menu is over priced. I wouldn't bother even for a vegetarian menu when any Thai place would make you a veggie massaman for a third of the price

  • 5/5 Renate H. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Good experience! We were there with children. You could sit well at the low tables. This is the vegetarian alternative to the very meat-heavy Thai food. If it hadn't been our last evening in Krabi, we would have come more often (discovered too late). Delicious Indian food (I can't judge Thai). (Original) Gutes Erlebnis! Mit Kindern waren wir da. An den niedrigen Tischen konnte man prima sitzen. Das ist die vegetarische Alternative zum sehr Fleischlastigen thai food. Wenn es nicht unser letzter Abend in Krabi gewesen wäre, wären wir öfter gekommen (zu spät entdeckt). Leckeres indisches Essen (thai kann ich nicht beurteilen).
