Govinda

Govinda is an Indian vegetarian and vegan restaurant in central Copenhagen, serving regional Indian cooking since 1988. Its home-style food draws on India’s long-standing meat-free culinary traditions, using spices and varied plant-based ingredients to create satisfying dishes. The restaurant describes love as its secret ingredient and focuses on preparing food with care.

Govinda’s kitchen is entirely plant-based: it serves vegan food four days a week and vegetarian food on the other three. The restaurant also highlights its sourcing and environmental practices, including a high proportion of organic ingredients, mostly grown on Zealand, and a commitment to sending no kitchen waste to landfill.

Guests can enjoy signature dishes such as Mangalore buns, idli sambhar and khaman dhokla. Govinda is open for dinner Tuesday through Sunday and for lunch on weekends. Visitors can book a table, order takeaway through Wolt or VegChef, and enquire about catering. Located on Åboulevard in Copenhagen V, Govinda also shares its philosophy, menu and kitchen updates online.
