Hare Krishna

This place rocks! Is it open during the summer though? Lol I'm Here! Anyhow it's the best food for best deal!!Recommend Delicious meal Vegetarian Lovely campus area

Great price for hearty wholesome meal! There's only like 2-3 types of curries but they also have you covered for rice, beverage and two types of desserts.Make sure to ask for the vegan option though since usually not everything is vegan and they have the vegan option stored away. The only complaint is that the people didn't seem friendly like most Hare Krishna temples. But def support them for giving back to the community with affordable plant based meals.

I'm so happy to see that Hare Krishna is still serving wholesome lunches after all these years. The first was was during my undergrad years in the early 2000s. Came back onto campus for a visit on a random Wednesday and stumbled upon them again! Food was just as delicious, plenty, and nutritious. It was rice with two kinds of curry like dishes filled with veggies such as cauliflower, peas, carrots, potatoes, and the blueberry masa dessert. It also comes with a drink and a small piece of peanut butter bar. All that for only $5 and you serve it yourself. I was in heaven all over again. The Food Coop place it a cool place to hang out, buy snacks and eat it there. Come Wednesdays, bring cash and an empty stomach!

There's not much to say that hasn't been said - cheap vegan and vegetarian "Indian" food for $5 a plate that you can pile on to your heart's desire (cash only). It's the best valued eatery on campus that comes once a week (on Wednesdays) from 11-3 pm in front of the Food Co-op store in the old Student Center area. The entrees include 2 dishes of vegetable bhajis, or variations of the classic saag, dal, baingan, or chana, served with rice. The entrees change from week to week. You also get a dessert made from masa spackled with fruits, and an energy ball made with coconut, nuts, and dates, plus a hibiscus tea drink to finish off your meal. It's not amazingly flavorful or fancy, but everything tastes good and homey for what it is - stewed veggies. It isn't seasoned like traditional Indian food at all and is probably the most mild, Americanized take I've ever had, so I'm not sure one can even call it Indian. Haha. The food is kind of on the heavy side, especially since it's all-you-can-stack on your plate. You'll most likely be stuffing your face until you're disgustingly full, so bathroom breaks and food coma are highly possible side effects. There's usually always one entree that's vegan, and there are two variations of the energy ball (one vegetarian, one vegan) that you can ask for. The sweet masa everyone raves about is vegan. My favorite items include their dessert and darker hued dishes with eggplant (baingan), as its usually more savory than the paler dishes. I actually like that their food is not too salty nor too oily like some of the more traditional Indian dishes, as it doesn't sit well with me most of the time, despite it being delicious. My stomach can handle various spices, but not Indian... Not sure why X( Overall, it's a great little gem that as a vegan, I couldn't be happier about. This place has saved a lot of students (including myself) from cooking, since you can bring a tupperware (any size, but be realistic obviously) to fill up for $7.I guess I still had a lot to say, afterall.

10/10 would recommend. The food is delicious and the line usually isn't too long. The best thing about this place is that you can bring your own container -- whatever size you want, and pay a bit more, but you can get as much food as you want. If you forgot to bring your own container, do not fear for they also have paper places. The only thing is that they only sell on Wednesday's, and as far as I know, they're cash only also!

Use to love this place when i went to UCSD! You can fill up a plate or your own Tupperware for just $5. The food is a Indian inspired cooking and I believe it's all vegetarian. I use to bring my own Tupperware and the food would last me a couple meals. They only came once a week (I can't remember what day) in revelle next to the gspot. The only downsides is that the food is all the same consistency (mushy/stewy) and they had similar if not the same things every week. Don't get me wrong the food is amazing nevertheless

Always love a good veggie option! Great flavors and huge portions. The folks are nice too. Definitely recommend for quality and price.

I always see this and forget to bring cash. Today I remembered and ate here for the first time. I wasn't sure what to expect and if I would enjoy it, but the food is very tasty, filling and fresh.

I'm certain we've all heard the rumors of the all-you-can-eat indian buffet by the old student center and smelled the intoxicating aromas of the exquisitely spiced dal and the fragrant long grain rice. But many of us find ourselves too busy to indulge in the massive quantities of vegetarian food on Wednesday lunches.But not my homies and I. We make sure we can get krishna every week. We plan our schedules around krishna. We debate the which dish is the best they have and whats the best plate-food complex that will invoke the highest yield of food per plate. We take our time carefully layer rice and curry in a precise formation, so much so that we often hear haters complaining behind us. We load up so hard that our 6 inch high towers of indian food always spill off the side when we walk over to our table. We dont mess around with our krishna and I guess you could call us veterans at this game.The best dal is the yellow one followed by the orange one with the red eye beans or chickpeas. They also have a dessert type dish made with some of kind of corn is also delicious. It is made with different flavors - peanuts, mango, blueberry (mah fave).

Delicious food, pleasant company and staff. The devotees are very nice and friendly. The vegetarian cuisine is amazing. The temple is colorful and warm, with informative paintings. The day I went, there were children also present, playing and running around. I thought to myself, Krishna would probably play and dance with them. Worth trying out.
