Aloo tikki delhi style Net +1

“We recommend the Soya Achari Tika - really well done! Ordered a Shyam Savera Kofta that was oozing flavour in its rich cashew gravy. Combined with Missi rotis and Tandoori rotis. Also ordered an Aloo Tikki Delhi style... full marks! Great service by Ashish Lama, who served us the dishes and kept an eye on our table always. It can get crowded... because of their offerings. Don't forget to end the meal with a cup of Tru Frut natural ice-cream at the end....all flavours rock!”

The Bottom Line

MyGovinda's in Jumeirah Lake Towers is a vegetarian Indian restaurant built around satvik cooking, including food without onion and garlic. You can come for a vegetable or Sindhi thali, try Jain biryani, or order sweets such as rasmalai. The menu also suits takeaway and delivery, and customers have used it for family gatherings and a party of 20.

The strongest food feedback centres on thalis, Indian sweets and selected regional dishes. One diner found every thali item fresh and balanced, while another praised the soft, creamy rasmalai and jaggery rasmalai. Pav bhaji, Soya Achari Tika, Anguri rabdi and veg biryani also received specific praise.

The atmosphere is described as calm and clean, with outdoor seating and possible JLT lake views from a window seat. Service is the main reason to plan carefully. Some visits were quick and attentive, but others involved 40 minutes to an hour of waiting, including for thalis; repeated wrong online orders were also reported.

Food quality can vary: reviews mention overly salty curries, very spicy greasy palak paneer and undercooked breads. If you are visiting for the first time, go outside peak periods, confirm delivery items and ask staff to guide you through the ingredients and Jain or satvik options.
