Cantina Templo HinduB+Worth Trying

Alameda Mahatma Gandhi, 1600-500 Lisboa, Portugal · Indian restaurant · 4.5/5 Google (1081 reviews)

Reservations · Delivery · Takeout

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.

Why it gets a B+ for overall quality

Cantina Templo Hindu delivers solid vegetarian dining through above-average food quality and attentive, welcoming service, but inconsistent execution—with seasoning and variety swinging noticeably day to day—prevents a higher grade. The spacious, calm temple setting and exceptional value make it a worthwhile neighborhood destination for vegetarians seeking authentic Gujarati home-style cooking, though it lacks the polish or reliability of grade A establishments.

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.
