Gokul gets props for being 100% vegetarian and even more props for having an all vegan buffet once a week. The unfortunate thing is that this Indian food is far from delicious. Granted, I have been to Indian and have lived in cities where real Indian food exists. Gokul seems to cater to the American taste bud. I'm not sure if they aren't using enough spices or if they're preparing in a rush. Honestly, I get shocked every time I hear someone suggest this restaurant to me for good Indian. It makes me wonder if they've ever had good Indian. I do love the fact that I can go in on vegan night and not have to ask which items from the buffet I can have. But, I usually don't go in because I know it'...
By far the freshest buffet I have been to. The Food is excellent everytime very consistent. Some items are very spicy and some are milder depending on the dish. The staff goes out of the way to make you happy they will make vegan nann for your table on non vegan nights.They always ask if there is anything else you want to make you happier. My family eats there weekly its not high priced like some say its reasonable for the quality of food you get. If someone isn't familiar with Indian food this is a great restaurant to take them to its not overwhelming and the people are so outgoing and friendly.
I've never ordered from the menu here because the buffet is always going, and it's quite extensive. The danger is overeating! Monday night is vegan night, which is best of all! Other nights there is still plenty of vegan fare on display. And they will even make vegan nan special for you on regular nights (without asking for it, simply if you mention you are vegan they pop some in for you . The food is good. The lady who runs it is pretty pushy, but in a friendly way. She made me write this review (just kidding! .
I’ve been going to this restaurant biweekly for years now and I always come out full and satisfied. I always go for the buffet. The buffet is the best in the city for vegans. Monday night buffet is mostly vegan although I usually come on other days and there are always vegan options available too. My only complaint is that they repeat a lot of dishes for the buffet. I think they only cycle between the same 10-12 dishes across the week. While they’re all delicious, I’d love to try something new from the menu.

Food is the same as their Page location which is fabulous. The ambiance is much nicer then the Page location. Staff is very knowledgeable and can easily explain which dishes on the buffet are vegan. I'd say more then half the buffet is typically vegan and then on every other Monday the buffet is 100% vegan.
My non-vegan husband couldn’t wait to return to Gokul in Little India. It’s a simple place with outstanding food.. love the carrot cake and Punjabi. We order a full lunch plus enough leftovers for dinner and a couple juice drinks (no alcohol) and it’s under $80SGD
I eat here almost every time I'm in St. Louis. Monday night vegan buffets are amazing and it is hands down the best Indian I've ever eaten. Updated from previous review on Monday October 14, 2013 Updated from previous review on Monday October 14, 2013
I love Indian food. So much here is vegan. It's just a lovely thing. The buffet, however, usually serves the same or similar stuff every time. I like to order from the menu and take home the left overs :

I am obsessed with this buffet!! They do NOT serve any meat. I come here often, especially for the Monday night vegan buffet. Great selection and food has always tasted amazing
Many vegan options and I love that all food items on buffet were marked vegan or vegetarian so there was no need to ask. Food was good and the buffet was reasonably priced.
