Govinda’s restaurant, which is a purely vegetarian, now has a second branch in Jumeirah. This means that your chances of eating clean and staying fit through food have just doubled. And if you live far from Karama (where the first restaurant is located) then I hope Jumeirah is close enough.

Although Govinda’s is an Indian restaurant they also serve Chinese and Italian cuisines in addition to the Indo delicacy at their Karama branch. But the new Jumeirah branch is only serving Indian food within its contemporary setting.

Govinda’s restaurant has been around for the last 15 years, and from what the owner and founder Mahesh Advani says, the restaurant believes in serving quality food and maintains the purity of every ingredient used in its dishes.

Sattvic Cooking at Govinda’s Restaurant

But how is this purity and quality achieved? According to Mahesh, all is achieved by maintaining a sattvic style of cooking. For those who feel a bit lost, this means that all the food prepared at the restaurant contains no garlic or onion. This style of cooking is an ancient Ayurveda method, for healthy living, particularly for keeping our minds clear, happy and at peace.

Each recipe is created with handpicked ingredients of the finest quality. These are aimed at producing a vegetarian dish that is fulfilling and appealing at the same time. “Our menu is carefully crafted, there is something for everyone. We want to showcase a part of India through our traditional Indian delicacies, whilst keeping it oil-free and high in health benefits. With our Chinese and Italian cuisine, it’s our vegetarian twist on pizzas and pasta and various Chinese dishes. At Govinda’s we want to encourage people to eat clean, healthy and wholesome food.”

Pure Vegetarian Restaurant

Govinda’s is basically a pure vegetarian restaurant aimed at not only being vegan-friendly but serving healthy food that is good for the mind, body, and soul. For instance, the Thali menu includes options for Vegan, High Protein, Low Calorie and Diabetic diets. The carefully crafted menu has dishes that are all less than 700 calories with no compromise in taste. The ‘oil-free’ menu is another dimension of Govinda’s USP.

Ambiance

The ambiance Govinda’s restaurant is serene and aesthetically pleasing where customers truly feel welcome. It is further complemented by the humble service of the staff.

Govinda’s also boasts of serving the yummiest 100% fresh ice cream, Tru Frut, made from fresh fruits and seasonal treats at both their outlets. No preservatives or color is used in Tru Frut ice creams, making them a better option to enjoy in the desert heat.

With vegan and vegetarianism becoming a trending dietary change; Govinda’s restaurant presents an abundance of tasteful options to gourmands of the UAE to enjoy a platter of joy. Its aim is to produce vegetarian dishes that are interesting, tasteful and satisfying for any dietary conditions – eliminating the belief that vegetarian food is bland.
