Govinda's Restaurant Karon Beach

This place is easy enough to find. Many vegan choices, the vegan “hot dog” is yummy!! The burgers would be great with a side of fries. Many yummy Indian dishes. Great place and happy to try a vegan option in the area. Nice staff.

The location on google is wrong. It took us some time to understand where the restaurant is located.
The prices are average, the menu consists mostly of Indian and Thai food. The service was not so quick and food is not so good. My husband ordered curry and the portion was pretty small and 60% of the curry was just oil. I took a Thai soup and liked it, however the starters were too oily and greasy.

Tl;dr Bad food, bad service, host/waiter couldn't find an ounce of interest in caring about the customer, don't bother going

I tried walking here from the main beach road but the Old Phuket Hotel has it blocked off so you have to walk all the way around. The menu is rather limited and I read the other reviews before going and agree with them: small portions, overpriced, greasy and not even good quality or tasty! They told me their blender was broken so I couldn't order from half the drink menu. I ordered the eggplant dish and the roti with pineapple and nuts in it. The guy brought me the wrong roti and really didn't seem to care at all (I'm kind of used to this sort of thing happening in Thailand at this point, but he literally just shrugged at me). I mean, they run a restaurant, you have one job to do, and he got 50% of my order wrong out of 2 dishes. Total bill was 378 baht which is absurd for what I was given to eat not to mention the poor service. I am a vegan and hate to write a bad review for a veg place but I regret eating here, would rather figure out a veg dish at one of the restaurants on the main beach road, many of which have veg menus.

Walking the streets of Karon in Phuket, we found very little that catered to our vegan lifestyle. I’m so glad we kept walking past every carbon copy restaurant that offered vegetarian options, because we stumbled across Govinda’s. They had just opened a few days prior - what luck! They had so many options, and the vegan menu items were well marked with the signature green V we are used to seeing in the states. We were so hungry we could have ordered something off of every page, but ended up getting a couple of traditional Indian dishes which were delectable and freshly prepared. The mixed bean salad was refreshing and dressed in what tasted like it might have been peanut oil - genius move. I was most impressed by the vegan mozzarella made from cashew nuts that satisfies my pizza cravings. If you’re a vegan in the Karon Beach area of Phuket, this is a must-stop eatery!

We really really loved the Govinda's in Krabi - Ao Nang and thought that this branch would be similar. The food was good but there are some things that need improvement. There wasn't any soap in the toilets which was really surprising and the food wasn't as nice or as good quality as the other branches we have visited in Thailand.
