Best Vegetarian Restaurant: Govindas

One flight of stairs up an unassuming entrance is a beautifully lit room where friendly and cluey wait-staff are ready to help. So is an authentic Indian vegetarian buffet and for under $20 both quality and quantity are second to none. Once you’ve polished off what you managed to fit on your plate you’re welcome to help yourself again. The mango lassi is rich and thick, served on rice and breathtakingly delicious. After dinner, spread yourself out on the futon-style chairs of the intimate cinema and enjoy one of three movies playing nightly. (Lucien Alperstein) 112 Darlinghurst Rd, Darlinghurst 9380 5155
