"Govinda’s serves a daily vegetarian and vegan Indian food buffet from Inside the hard-to-miss Krishna temple in Garden Oaks, with a side of meditation. For $13 on weekdays and $14 on weekends, the all-you-can-eat buffet serves half a dozen different entrees, desserts, and as much bread as you like. While all the food, like saag paneer or kidney bean dal, looks like what you might eat when visiting your friend who lives in a commune, it’s hearty, medium-spiced, and savory. Plus, the bird sounds that echo across the high aviary-like ceilings make the entire place feel like a spa cafe, but on a budget, especially when the Krishna devotees shuffle by.
