Our Story
Govinda's Kitchen was born from the ISKCON tradition of sharing pure vegetarian prasadam with everyone. We believe that food prepared with devotion and offered with love has the power to nourish not just the body, but also the soul.
What started as a small kitchen serving devotees and neighbors has grown into a beloved meal delivery service, bringing the warmth of sattvic cooking to students and professionals across Brooklyn, NYC, and Jersey City.
The Art of Prasadam
In the ISKCON tradition, food is more than sustenance—it's a sacred offering. We prepare all our meals following sattvic principles, using only pure vegetarian ingredients that promote clarity, peace, and spiritual well-being.
Our cooking excludes meat, fish, eggs, onion, and garlic, focusing instead on fresh vegetables, grains, legumes, dairy, and aromatic spices that have been used in Vedic cuisine for thousands of years.
Our Inspiration
His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada
Srila Prabhupada, the founder of ISKCON, brought the ancient Vedic tradition of prasadam to the Western world. He emphasized that food prepared with devotion and offered to Krishna becomes spiritually purifying.
“If one offers Me with love and devotion a leaf, a flower, a fruit or water, I will accept it.”
Following Srila Prabhupada's teachings, every meal at Govinda's Kitchen is prepared with love and offered with devotion, transforming simple food into divine prasadam.
Our Mission
“To share the gift of pure vegetarian prasadam with our community, nourishing bodies and uplifting souls through food prepared with devotion. We believe that sattvic meals have the power to bring peace, clarity, and spiritual well-being to everyone who partakes.”
