Best Restaurant in Canada

Y	Yomad Hike on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Unbeatable delicious Indian Thali and temple vibes. Absolutely amazing place.
R	Ronak Badheka on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Loved dining at Govinda's. The price is very reasonable given the fact that their buffets are all you can eat. The food tasted great. They have really redone the entire place. It's got a very cozy vibe and a nice ambience. It's very clean and the tables are senatized frequently. The redone patio is really cool too and is a welcome addition.
P	Pankaj Singh on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Really good food. Had lunch. Couldn't have guessed combination of bitter gourd and bottle gourd could be so good. So was paneer and dal. Will be back soon.
A	Aarti Kulshrestha on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Temple environment was healthy with lots of greenery and banana trees. I also had lunch at Govindas which was approx. $15 per Thali. It is not fair for me if I comment on the quality and quantity of the food as it was prasadam.
B	Blayne D on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The food here is incredible! And the atmosphere is great, with amazing staff. I love the temple setting and it is an unique setting for a weekend lunch. Every meal I have had here I have enjoyed. I love to cook but I struggle to cook vegan meals, and why would I bother with this option in driving distance (for such great value!) Their Mixed veggie curry with vegan barbecue meat was delicious. One of my favourite dishes ever!
P	Paige Freeborn on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We had a couple of appointments in the Lower Mainland today, and had lunch at ISKCON Vancouver (Hare Krishna Temple) in Burnaby. Govindas is located on the grounds of the temple, surrounded by a peaceful landscape. The restaurant offers vegetarian/vegan food, and they use organic ingredients grown on the grounds. The Indian thali selections were delicious, and the staff were so kind, gentle, and welcoming. The food is blessed before serving, and made with “love and devotion.” We were transported away from our city lives, yet steps away from Marine Drive. We felt grateful for this nourishing food, and for the people who grew it, cooked it, and served it. Thank you. ??
S	Steven H. on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A unique experience in terms of dining. One important thing to note first and foremost is that the restaurant no longer serves all you can eat for one price due to COVID-19. This is just to clarify for anyone who wants to pay one price and eat until full. There is no longer a buffet style all you can eat. I was a bit confused at first expecting a self serve style buffet however upon arrival, that was no longer the case. The atmosphere here is peaceful and quiet, nicely tucked away in a thick forestry area along Marine Drive in South Burnaby. It is situated on an Hindu Temple ground - serving religion oriented food and philosophy. The restaurant does not have a set menu, but rather serves omakase style - meaning the chef changes up the menu on a daily basis. For approximately $15, one can expect a very hearty and ample lunch thali - all ingredients grown right on the temple ground's own organic food garden. Great value and healthy. The cooking is light - but I prefer to use the word 'Gentle'. Light on fat, seasoning and zero processed ingredients. All made with much love. It is a meal fit for Gods and commoners alike. The community and people working here are simply amazing and kind. Come here to nourish your tummy - but even more importantly, to nourish your soul.
D	Deepali Chouhan on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We had come to ISKCON (Hare Krishna) temple and glad that we tried food at Govinda’s. Awesome awesome awesome. If I could, I would have rated more than 5 star. Amazing and delicious lunch. Definitely a must try when in that area. Staff is pretty amazing and welcoming. Looks like there is a special cook on Wednesdays ?☺️
