Govinda's Cardiff — Restaurant in Wales

Its inside Capitol Shopping Centre mall. It's not only a restaurant but a place where we get different vibes, we reflect upon few things seeing the atmosphere.

The price you have to pay for a such a delicious and variety of food served in thali is very less. Everything is home made. They even give you a card with which you can get a complementery desertt like Mango lassi etc on se fixed number of visits.

The waiters are not actually waiters, they are volunteers who work for a good cause. Spreading a good word around helping people in Cardiff. There were British women in Indian attire serving food politely and asking if its good.

There were various leaflets which tells us the mission of this lounge and the state of wellbeing of underpriviliged people in cardiff and their needs. About, how we can also volunteer in our free time and help them.

This place is usually busy due to low price of thaalis and the quality so plan well to avoid disappointment. I went their alone so they could...

Amazing calm, serene ambience serving delicious vegan food at great value - tasted fresh and very homely.

Menu: Was impressed at the choice of lassi and milkshakes (more than any restaurant I've been to, incl non-vegan). Bakery section all looked tasty and it was hard to choose! The thali option looked great but we were only making a short stop.

Order: We visited for a quick-ish lunch and ordered the blueberry lassi, strawberry milkshake, 2 kofta wraps and a chocolate tiffin. All for £20. Absolutely delicious and would come here every time I visit Cardiff from now!

Set-up: The restaurant has tables on one side and sofas on the other, with the desk and mini-shop in the middle, selling food, spices, incense, books, clothes. They played meditation music.

A range of wellbeing and spiritual books - we bought a book called 'Hiding in Unnatural Happiness'.

Thank you! Highly recommend this...

I used to come here at least once a week during my lunch break however I will no longer be returning. A few months ago I regrettably tried a vegan dessert and I had diarrhoea within an hour and had to leave early from work to go home. I continued coming here because I liked the food for its healthy options and cheap prices, so I just stayed away from the deserts. However, today I had diarrhoea again, this time from the dahl and rice. There was also two pieces of plastic wrap in the rice, which makes me think maybe the rice was old and just reheated and that's how I got sick but I don't know. One time they completely forgot about my order after I had paid and I ended up waiting for about an hour. They have also just recently increased their prices too. It's just not worth the risk for me anymore which is a shame as I really...
