Over the last decade, I have been following a practice of celebrating special family occasions with dinner / lunch from the Govinda's restaurant at ISKCON, Juhu in Mumbai. This Sunday, too, saw me attend an ecstatic kirtan (congregational chanting) at the temple there followed by a take away of the Sunday spread at Govinda's. Over the years, the rates of the buffet have increased multi-fold. The weekend rates are a bit higher than the weekday rates. The take away rates are lesser than the dine in rates primarily because only a limited quantity is packed for the take away as compared to the unlimited buffet, and also because a fewer variety of dishes from the buffet are packed in. For example, if the buffet has 4 rice dishes, only 1 would be packed for the take away. The take away weekend price is now Rs. 300.
Though there are people who have opinions otherwise, I, nevertheless, found the food (prasadam) to be absolutely divine.
