Restaurant
We are breaking the Govinda Restaurant steriotypes by serving purely vegetarian excuisite cuisines. It was about $3 entry, so I'm sure it was worth it.A great dining experience overall! So, about 50% of the buffet is vegan and worth the money.
It is a bit hard to get info on what is vegan sometimes though. On Sunday and all of their holidays, all food is made with ghee so nothing is vegan. They mark on a board above the food which things are vegan. They do always serve brown rice, though, and the vegan dal is reliable. Sometimes the hot food here can be good.

Our Signature Dishes

Very reasonably priced for all you can eat or take home box. ISKCON has food centers all over the world and has been my saving grace in travel- never disappointing, always amazing. It is my place that is like food close to home. Their objective is to have good food affordable to all. The Best value and quality of food in LA.
GOVINDA'S SUPREMO
Sometimes there is pizza.Seating is outside in the patio. There was also a museum, but we were out of time on the meter outside, so we had to move on. There were at least 2 cold salads that were vegan (including potato salad) and I think all the dressings were vegan and certainly homemade. We got the all you can eat lunch buffet for $7 a piece.

Blacklidge Dr. has been around since the early ’90s, dishing out an all-vegetarian buffet to eaters. Sure, you have your Golden Corral, which now serves beer (it isn’t all-you-can-drink), and national hotel chain breakfast buffets, but there’s a spot in Tucson that truly shines when it comes to healthier experiences.

All our preparations are first served to Lord Krishna, to seek his blessing, thus our food is tasty as well as divine. Who ever said that vegetarion food cant be lipsmacking good?

It's very convenient because all of the vegan options are clearly marked. Here's my review update.If offers a good size buffet spread that features both cold salads and hot foods, and the food is refilled regularly. All the workers are volunteers of the association and make the food as a method of love and service.
