Govinda - Vegetarian Restaurant

A pure vegetarian restaurant (the name says it all) that also caters to lacto, ovo, and vegan diets. The menu clearly marks which dishes can be made vegan and which cannot (e.g., non-vegan items are marked 'Can not make Vegan option'). Staff are knowledgeable about veganism and happy to suggest options. The kitchen uses soy-based mock meats, tofu, and house-made vegan cheese, and the desserts section is explicitly labelled 'Egg free.' No meat or fish is on the premises.

This is a vegetarian-first restaurant with strong vegan awareness. The menu clearly marks vegan options. Every pizza, pasta, and main dish that can be made vegan is labelled 'Option : Regular or Vegan'. Items that cannot be made vegan are marked 'Can not make Vegan option'. The restaurant makes its own vegan cheese and offers house-made vegan ice cream. HappyCow reviews confirm that staff understand veganism and happily suggest dishes. The kitchen produces dairy-based dishes, including pizzas with mozzarella, pastas with cream or parmesan, and ricotta-stuffed ravioli, so cross-contamination from shared prep is possible. This is a shared kitchen, not a dedicated vegan kitchen.

The venue's own website mentions 'gluten free menu options on weekdays' and 'gluten free food options, so don't hesitate to try our gluten free rice dishes.' RestaurantGuru lists 'Gluten-free' as a cuisine tag. There is no mention of a dedicated gluten-free fryer, separate prep area, or any certification. The kitchen produces wheat-based pizza and pasta daily, so cross-contamination risk is high. Call ahead to ask about the weekday GF menu and cross-contamination protocols.

The menu lists a 'Vegan Cheese' option (+฿35) and multiple pizzas and pastas that can be made with 'Regular or Vegan' cheese, and the restaurant makes its own 'Vegan Cheese'. However, there is no separate dairy-free prep area; the same kitchen handles mozzarella, parmesan, gorgonzola, ricotta, and cream. No dedicated equipment is mentioned. Calling ahead is the way to confirm safe preparation for dairy-free diners.

The menu page has a banner reading 'Our pasta is egg free' in the Special Pasta section and another banner reading 'Dessert (Egg free)' over the dessert list. No other egg-related information is given. The kitchen likely uses eggs in some breads or other dishes. These sections only cover specific menu subsets. Call ahead for a full egg-free guide.
