Category: Restaurant/Food Vendor (Vegetarian)
Average cost: $5-$10 per person after tax and tip
Vegan Dessert: No

Notes: Renamed from "Govinda's" in 2009. Two buffet bars (one with hot entrees, the other with salad fixings) as well as a short menu of sandwiches that can be ordered a la carte. For the buffet, it's all-you-can-eat, as well as a "blue plate special" (fill a 9.5" oval platter once), "just soup" and "just salad" option. Pricing cheaper at lunch. The hot bar menu rotates, but at least one entree will be vegan and gluten-free (in addition to the brown rice). For the desserts, the Halavah is not vegan (contains butter). Pudding is vegan. Covered outdoor seating also available.

5 out of 5 stars Went for "blue plate" special during lunch. Everything was vegan except Halvah and 1 of the salad dressing (didn't matter, I skipped the salad bar). Food delicious. Enjoyed the fresh bread. Will definitely return! tammy

4.5 out of 5 stars warm molasses corn bread, 8 types of homemade dressing, fresh beets, are all the extra things other BUFFET places DO NOT HAVE. 1 pasta 1 curry , 2 soups (dal or split $8 lunch/$9 dinner. I think the dinner is a great deal since you can get more for your money. I think the owner purposely made the pasta very ordinary so you won't eat too much. Overall I was happy I didn't gorge myself. sunny
