    This place was an absolute treasure. The owners are an absolute pleasure, and the food was as good as I could imagine. Would happily recommend the idli, medhu vada, and Mysore masala dosa to anyone. Will be back frequently.

    My sister, mom & I went to Gokul cafe on sawmill rd for my sisters birthday!! Owner was so nice and played birthday music, offered to take pictures of us without us asking and also he surprised us with a dessert. It was warm donuts in a warm syrup. Everything was so so good. 150% recommended I'm not vegan but my sister is plantbase this place was vegetarian, and vegan friendly. Cannot wait to come back!

    This is my go to vegetarian restaurant in Columbus. It is also vegan friendly as they have marked vegan/vegan option dishes in the menu.

    I love their spicy andhra style masala dosa. The andhra spice chutney in this dosa has a controlled level of spiciness with a touch of tanginess. The sambhar is a bit too watery to my likeness but nonetheless tastes good.

    Apart from the dosa that I eat most of time, I also like their lunch buffet. Have only had the buffet during the COVID times so the buffet menu is limited but not too short to not to be called a buffet. Also, due to the COVID restrictions you can't serve your food yourself. Rather they serve you at the table like in a thali system. This is great for containing the virus but kinda downgrades the buffet experience as it could get awkward asking the waiter multiple times to serve you your most liked appetizer.

    The buffet food tastes great and maintains the same great taste that you expect when you order as A La Carte.

    Another thing I loved about this restaurant is it's friendliness to vegan people. Not just they mention vegan options in their regular menu, they also keep enough vegan options in their buffet so as even vegan people can call it a buffet.

    Lastly, the staff and the owner are super friendly. I have met the owner quite a few times and have found him caring. Once I was traveling to Michigan late night, on knowing that he offered me a free cup of chai and a box of saunf (mouth refreshment) to keep me awake. It was very kind and sweet of him.

    I highly recommend this restaurant to all vegetarian and vegan folks who wants to eat delicious Indian food served by a friendly staff.
