Use free parking. Check the rear of the building for free parking, though dedicated restaurant spaces are limited.
Check delivery. For online sweets orders, count the pieces as soon as they arrive and compare them with the order.
Plan lunch. Lunch service runs until 4 pm; snacks are available throughout the day.
Skip platter. If ordering selectively, consider avoiding the tandoori platter; one reviewer especially disliked its cheese kabab.

A reviewer was charged 20% more than the menu price and said the seating-based difference was not explained upfront.
The Bottom Line
My Govinda’s is a pure vegetarian Indian restaurant in Dubai Silicon Oasis, built around Satvik food made without onion or garlic. The menu gives you plenty to explore, but the lunch thali is the clearest value pick: reviewers describe it as fresh, hot and flavorful, with generous portions. The kulhad biryani, chaat varieties, dal makhni and natural ice creams also receive recurring praise.
The setting is bright, clean and Krishna-themed, with devotional music in the background. That peaceful atmosphere works well for family meals, although the constant religious chanting may not suit everyone. There is free parking behind the building, but restaurant-dedicated spaces are limited.
Breakfast has been reported at AED 10, while snacks are available beyond the lunch period. Service is the main variable. Some diners describe attentive, welcoming visits, while others waited for thali accompaniments or found staff unhelpful when raising questions.
Delivery and counter orders deserve a quick check: one customer received four rasmalai instead of six, and another reported stale-smelling motichur laddu. 5 water excessive.
