Tried these guys for the first time with ubereats and I have to say that I’m absolutely hooked! 
They are the winner of the best vegetarian restaurant on the Gold Coast and they are one of the most popular healthy casual dining experiences with affordable dine in and takeaway choices.
They apparently started In Burleigh Heads and have an all you can eat place there but have also expanded to Coolangatta and Kingscliff, providing tasty, freshly prepared menu with many option to cover everyone’s tastes.
And what I loved more about this place is that they are a Non-for-Profit business and try to use as much as possible organic grown vegetables. All food is pure vegetarian with vegan and gluten-free options and their menu changes daily!
We ordered a Meal Combo with Veggie Curry (V)(GF), Dal Soup (V)(GF) and Tofu Broccoli Salad (V)(GF) and the portion was very VERY FILLING for the cost so I have to say it’s definitely great value for money! You can pick online a ‘regular’ or a ‘large” plate and you can also add rice if you want. I absolutely loved the combo and I have to say that this is one of those places where it’s impossible to pick something wrong for sure 👏
They have other options like Kofta Balls, Pumpkin Avocado Salad and Pesto Pasta Salad that sound AMAZING and that I really want to try.
A great applause for these guys! And I would absolutely love to visit their main Burleigh place and have a go on their all you can eat! Seriously that will be a dream coming true for sure! 👏
Great value for money & great food! I would certainly go here again 😊🖒
I had the tofu, broccoli & sweet potato salad - yum!!! Also had the potato bake & rice... all this for $10 😊
My go to food after a big work day,it never disappoints me,it’s always so flavoursome and there always so busy,I could hands down eat it every day for the rest of my life
I’m from Melbourne and travel to Burleigh heads every year and won’t go without having as much food from here as possible every time! Flavoursome, decently priced, generous servings and lovely staff! I could eat their Kofta balls for brekkie lunch and dinner! Their Dahl was scrumptious too!
I came here later in the day (3pmish) so it wasn’t best to choose a salad which had been sitting all day but it still tasted alright. The hot food my husband got was yummy and reasonably priced. Plenty of good options to choose from.
We love it , full vegetarian , fresh. Sometimes a few dishes will have too much oil for my taste but doesn’t matter , at the end you eat good.
Heaven for pure vegeterians as dey dun even use onion n garlic in dere food n also dey serve only vegeterian food nt even an egg in a city like gold coast..must try
I am always delighted to visit a vegetarian restaurant in a foreign country. Govindas was a delight to the tummy. The taste of the food was a bit bland, not the type of flavours we Indians are used to, but I liked this place a lot. Its easy on the pocket and all you can eat buffet is great. The salads and starters are really good. The main course was good as well. They should work on improving their breads. They give turkish bread and I am pretty sure if they provide indian breads, like naan or chapati, people would love it.
You just can't go wrong with Govindas. Need a post-workout feed? Govindas. Hungover? Govindas. Can't be bothered cooking? Govindas.
It's cheap, it's filling, it's delicious and it's fast. You always know what you're getting. I can't rate it highly enough. Just don't be fooled into thinking that because it's vegetarian, it automatically makes it healthy. No, no, Govindas is not healthy. But boy is it wonderful.
Amazing vegetarian food and at a great price. The broccoli and tofu salad is a must try. I always leave here full. The sago cups are fantastic.
I'm not vegetarian but this is really good vegetarian friendly spot on the Gold Coast. I used to eat here most lunch times when I studied in burleigh and I just love their food especially their kofta balls. There's always a line up and you're lucky if you get a seat inside. It's definitely worth a try if you're ever around James St. Burleigh! you'll enjoy the food there whether you're vegetarian or not.
The food here at Govindas is made with love and respect. The chefs here are masters at their trade and thoroughly enjoy cooking for the Gold Coast public and travellers to the area. If you would like to try something different And have previously shy'd away from vegetarian food, I highly recommend Govindas, I'm positive it will delight your senses and also your wallet. How do I know all this...?? My younger brother Srinivas is an intricle part of the kitchen and creates these delicious dishes from scratch everyday! So get on down to Govindas @ James St Burleigh Heads. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised. Happy eating
Delicious vegetarian food. Not vegan, but so good! Eat here regularly (a couple of times a week), and not even a vegetarian. Consistent, fresh and reasonably priced. Firm favourite in Burleigh
Govindas has been a firm family favourite for me over the years. The quality of the food is constant every time we go. Everything from the kofta balls to the potato bake taste absolutely amazing. The salads are also to die for, my personal favourites being the tofu,brocolli, sweet potato and the antipasto salad. I even convinced a few meat lovers to try this place and they absolutely loved it. My only criticism is that the service isn't consistent, some staff are lovely whilst others can be quite rude. That can't keep me away from the amazing food though! A must try on the Gold Coast whether you're vegetarian or not.
Hands Down Favourite Fast Food. I love this place, yes it's pokey, yes it's busy but if you're looking for a fast, delicious and cheap meal, this is your place. I've never been disappointed by the staff nor the food. Always friendly, always delicious - they just need to move to a bigger space so we can all fit in.
Always amazing everytime I go here. Friendly staff and their potato bake is to die for.
What more can say other thsn YUMO & I'm not a vego, this is a must try ! Mark it on your to do list. I even bought extra to take home lol
Such a great place for food and it's all vegetarian! They offer a variety of hot foods as well as salads and desserts for a good price.
My husband loves meat but he loved this food. Shame we live so far away. Handy to know where we can get good food in Burleigh.
Its ok. The service is truly terrible, but the food is so great i will still go back!
Friendly atmosphere and delicious food!
Honest and pure good food. I quite like going to Govinda's. It seems to be busy almost all of the time, and although the menu is somewhat limited, the food is delicious.
The staff have a real passion about their fare and vegetarianism, showing photos of locally produced organic vegetables.
Shared tables are the norm at Govindas, and this mates well with the overall vibe of the place.
One of my favourite QLD restaurants.
The food was delicious and fresh. The chocolate cheese cake was to die for!
All of the food is prepared on the premises and you can be sure that it will be absolutely fresh, with fruit and vegetables brought daily from the farm in Eungella.
Every town/city must have atleast a couple of Govindas restaurant. What a relaxing environment and the food is very comforting.
We just kept ordering one after the other to try mostly everything on their menu. And the thing is we can because the food is fairly priced and because its vegetarian, you dont feel heavy or very full.
Good quality food and service.
Always delivers good food, good energy and grest value. Love this place and always will 🙏
Delicious! Stunning food - and 1000Star Service!
Thank you for always fresh and healthy food!
Their lasagna! I’m ready to drive there for an hour, just to eat yummy healthy food. And I always feel welcomed there.
After watching the sunset with the family on Burleigh Hill the best way to cap off the night...dinner at Govindas. Great food is always so good! Great price/value and great service - everyone working there was just so happy - even though it was really busy and they were under the pump. Highly recommend - we will be back, again and again and again!
Some of the nicest health food on the Gold Coast. Can physically feel the nutrients disperse through your body 🥰 so so good 👍 Great prices, amazing service, full array of dish choices and supporting Hare Krishna Farm 🚜 😋 Highly recommended. Love it!
Best healthy and vegan/vegetarian food in Burleigh! Such a well priced delicious option. Food is consistently amazing, can't get past the pesto pasta, koftas and veggie curries but it's all so good. This is what food should be about. It makes you feel so good and you know you're getting lots of veggies in and my toddler loves it too!
The food is wholesome and super yummy.
