A simple, temple-run Gujarati vegetarian buffet with home-style flavors and very low prices; great value if you like authentic, lightly spiced food, but variety and consistency fluctuate.
Restaurant Summary
The canteen inside the Radha Krishna temple feels warm and welcoming, with a big hall, high ceilings, and a steady flow of diners. One diner summed it up: "Simple, healthy and full of taste," while staff refilled trays and rotis with unfussy efficiency. Expect a calm, community vibe more than a conventional restaurant scene. Cooking leans Gujarati and home-style: dals, potato or mixed-veg curries, rice, fresh chapati, and a few sweets. It is light, not creamy, and best for those who appreciate straightforward, temple canteen flavors. Variety rotates, but some days feel repetitive, and seasoning can swing from gentle to a touch salty. Families do well here thanks to mild dishes kids can recognize—rice, dal, chapati, and potato curry. There is no kids menu, but prices are very low (buffet €9.90–€11.90; kulfi €2.50), and the spacious seating suits groups and strollers.
