Govinda's

Medellín


Part restaurant, part Hare Krishna cultural center, Govinda's has a great-value vegetarian buffet. Choose from a wide range of soups, soy-based mains, salads and vegetable sides. If you arrive late you will probably be limited to the fast-food menu. Upstairs there are regular yoga classes.
