Unheard of for Vegan restaurants to win\u2026<br \/>\nHere are some reviews:<br \/>\nJunglechick: This place is just incredible. I got the all-you-can-eat just so I could try everything and go back for my favourites! The kofta balls are sooooo good. The staff were wonderful and it\u2019s got a great atmosphere. I\u2019d 100% recommend it!!<br \/>\nRico: I used to visit the previous Govindas in the Paradise Centre when they were vegetarian. They had excellent vegan food then, but for a long time it wasn\u2019t always plentiful, until the owner started to see the light.<br \/>\nSince they went vegan last year, Hallelujah! &#8211; things are much brighter.<br \/>\nTake your pick from their buffet, which includes a separate salad bar. Hot dishes change, but go from vegetable curries and creamy potato bake to the staple kofta balls.<br \/>\nEating in &#8211; that\u2019s what i always do when i\u2019m here &#8211; you can get a plate of food for $10 or an unlimited plate &#8211; that is, with all the refills you want &#8211; for $15. Incredible value!<br \/>\nSadly, this is the only vegan place in glittering Surfers Paradise. But it\u2019s definitely not a case of \u201cWell, go there because there\u2019s no other choice.\u201d<br \/>\nThe food is fresh, the staff are usually friendly, and the cost is low. Really, it\u2019s a fantastic deal in Paradise!<br \/>\nEmmaBarr: The food in this restaurant is absolutely amazing and so delicious. Even my meat eating boyfriend loved it and was happy to go back numerous times. There is such good variety in the buffet and it is all delicious and unbelievably good value for money. I couldn\u2019t recommend this place enough for vegans.<br \/>\nKiwi Wannabe: Being both a vegan and a food lover, this place was a culinary paradise. At $12.90 for an all you can eat buffet, you can\u2019t go wrong. I thought places like this only existed in my dreams ;-) Half of our group were meat eaters and they loved it too. <br \/>\nTerrific array of hot and cold options as well as desserts in case you have room left. The staff were friendly and you could tell they really enjoy what they do. It\u2019s just too bad we were visiting otherwise we\u2019d come here all the time!<br \/>\nChelseaHollins: I\u2019m a pretty slim female and I think I continue to amaze staff\/friends at how many times I can go back and refill my plate. It is just so good, it\u2019s really hard to leave. Very cheap, the tofu salad is just amazing and I usually find salads boring.<br \/>\nPotato bake\/Kofas\/Pasta bake= yum! There\u2019s not one thing there I wouldn\u2019t happily fill my plate with. Their ginger juices are really amazing and have made my sore throats disappear in the matter of an hour.<br \/>\nOnly bad thing about this place is they offer non-vegan lasso drinks (based on yogurt). Would be really great if they did this vegan, not just because I would buy it, but because I restrain from supporting non-veganism is anyway possible. But other than that it is just.. wow.<br \/>\nRead more reviews here: <a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/lzATOx\">https:\/\/goo.gl\/lzATOx<\/a><br \/>\nand here: <a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/p3mFUY\">https:\/\/goo.gl\/p3mFUY<\/a><br \/>\nTheir Facabook page: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/GovindasSurfersParadise\/\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/GovindasSurfersParadise\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/66.media.tumblr.com\/677a9a6136b7600bf344da6b99852160\/tumblr_o9xquhaZiS1sbj0vuo1_500.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>Stoked Govindas Surfers Paradise has won best buffet on the Gold Coast.
