About

Govinda's Cardiff serves Indian thali plates in different sizes, with changing curries, dal, rice, chutney, samosa and bread; recent menu information also lists paneer, so it isn't fully vegan. Reviews describe a calm, informal lunch spot with friendly service, low prices and a pay-it-forward meal scheme, alongside occasional yoga and wisdom programmes.
