Vegetarian

Govindam
The exclusively Indian and Ayurvedic food is only vegetarian and is made with fresh ingredients and delicate spices. It tastes excellent. The Gaba family have run the restaurant strictly according to Ayurvedic teaching (Ayurveda means long life) since 2003 and prepare the food with lots of loving care. Definitely recommended are the delicious, home-made sweets; they are the crowning glory after any of the exotic main courses.

Osho´s Place
A restaurant with a feel-good atmosphere where you can eat your fill. There’s always a delicious, richly varied and pure vegetarian buffet available whether you want breakfast, a soup and salad for lunch, or to create your own meal in the evening from the various delicacies. It’s popular with non-vegetarians too and a colorfully mixed crowd comes to the special theme nights, such as the Thali evening every first Friday in the month, when diners enjoy an Indian meal in a meditative setting with incense sticks and music.
