Govinda

«Govinda» is a self-service ethnic café on Dumskaya, 5, second floor. It recreates an Indian-style atmosphere: staff wear saris, and images of Hindu deities can be seen on the walls. The cuisine is vegetarian, mixed, with Italian and Georgian notes, and the menu is regularly updated. The menu includes red lentil soup, baked pumpkin, pakoras (vegetables in batter), vegetable skewers and cutlets. It's worth looking into the dish names and unusual ingredient combinations in advance — many items sound unfamiliar to those encountering Indian cuisine for the first time. Special attention should be paid to the vitamin-rich fresh juices, homemade pastries and a wide selection of sweets. Prices at the café are low, while the portions are still substantial. «Govinda» is one of the few options in Omsk where you can find healthy plant-based food without meat. The self-service format makes visiting quick and easy, while the setting with its Eastern flavor adds distinctiveness to the place.
