We wanted to share this video with you if you have a few minutes to watch. We try where we can to avoid single use plastic at Govinda's. You may or may not have noticed that all of our take away packaging is either bio degradable or compostable this includes our straws used at the cafe the lids to take away dahl pots and spoons (which could be mistaken for plastic but are actually made from plant starch).
... Every bit helps, what changes can you make in your life to help towards making the planet cleaner and greener?

Without a doubt, the best place to eat in Swansea for Veggies / Vegans. <3 <3 <3

Went for lunch not feeling particularly hungry - ordered food anyway and suddenly my tastebuds went wild!! Absolutely delicious food!!! Would highly recommend to vegans and vegetarians!

The vegan Seitan cheeze burger is a game changer, it’s absolutely delicious!!!! So good to see a nut-free burger added to the menu that tastes so good. Big up Seitan ��

Sweet service, great food and good energy.. will be back again. That brownie has got me hooked �

Our first visit yesterday with Jean. we both had an awesome nutburger and chips. We loved it, and we'll be back again. :)

Our first visit this afternoon. I had the seitan patty burger,hubby had the onion bhaji wrap,followed by a cheesecake. Lovely atmosphere and food. Will certainly be dining with you again.

My first visit to a vegetarian/vegan restaurant and I’ll definitely be back ��

My favourite place to eat in Swansea! Prompt and friendly service. Fantastic food at such a reasonable price. I only wish you opened later in the evening, looking forward to Christmas opening times �

Just came back from Govindas. Had the most amazing meal ever. food is glorious. Staff very friendly and the atmosphere is amazing. definitely one of my favourite places to eat in Swansea

It's the best kitchen and restaurant in town! The food is honest, tasty, perfect! I love the service, the people that work there and all the meaningful concept behind it. They sell as well eco-friendly products, books and snacks. We eat there weekly and I just bought their frozen samosas so I can do it at home. You will love the ambiance, relax and super friendly. Makes you feel you are in a room full of family.

I've never had anything bad to eat here, their vegan burgers are the best I've ever tasted along with so many other delicious choices, Govinda's is a must try eatery.

I love the food and the atmosphere and staff is always so upbeat. Great for vegans and lots of gluten free choices too �

I have always loved this place, for their food, the lovely people and the good work they do but went for Christmas lunch and it was truly stunning. As a vegan it is wonderful to find such amazing food on our doorstep which is so reasonable. Can't recommend enough.

I cannot stress enough how good Govinda's is. Freshly prepared meals that don't break the bank, taste amazing and are much cheaper than I expected.



Additionally they offer such an amazing selection of foods for those with dietary restrictions. For the first time in 7 years I could eat anything I wanted.



Hands down my favourite restaurant in swansea.

I became vegan 18 months ago after learning things from a close friend. She loved Govinda's and made me promise to go there, and ask for the cheesecake. It took me a while, but finally got to go on Monday with my son. My friend was right, the food is amazing and the cheesecake is delicious! I couldn't wait to tell her that I have now found my favourite eating place as a result of her nagging, but she passed away suddenly before I got the chance! Rest in peace Katie....Govinda's No 1 fan. x

Govindas has an excellent history for great wholesome food and a brilliant atmosphere. It never lets me down and I can't recommend it enough 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Delicious food, calm environment and friendly staff. The little shop is great too.

Best food on the planet. Kirtan Yoga excellent as well. Thank you very much.

Been there a few times now and every time the food is perfect. Its fast service and great food. Not to mention good prices too. Well worth a vist.
