Golden Temple Review

In its fourth decade of tickling meat-shunning palates, this temple of organic taste is still one of the best vegetarian (and vegan) options in town. If anything, the atmosphere is a tad too hallowed, an effect enhanced by a minimalist absence of decorative flourishes. The menu livens things up, though, with its unlikely roster of Indian, Middle Eastern, and Mexican dishes. This could make for a rewarding mix-and-match game if only the small print didn't all but instruct you to keep flavors apart. Multiple-choice platters are a good way to go. For the Indian thali, you select from constituents like sag paneer (homemade cheese), vegetable korma, and raita (cucumber and yogurt dip); the Middle Eastern platter has stalwarts like falafel, chickpea (garbanzo)-and-vegetable stew, and dolmas (stuffed grape leaves). A variety of side dishes range from guacamole to couscous to pakora (deep-fried fritters).

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
