Govinda’s
Located adjacent to the ISKCON temple in Garden Oaks, Govinda’s offers an Indian-inspired vegetarian buffet ($14), with Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays dedicated to an all-vegan menu. Expect a variety of dishes like eggplant pakora, saag paneer, chana curry, tomato basil pasta, and fresh salads. The light-filled restaurant echoes the architecture of the temple next door, and a list of spices and herbs noted above the buffet line offers guests nutritional and medicinal details about each one. 1320 W. 34th St., Houston, govindashou.com
