The Hare Krishna Temple

Great place with the best vibes possible! I strongly recommend for everyone to visit the temple

Wonderful food and a great place for younger people to hang out. Wish they had a full time teacher there to help people wiht their spiritual path.

Had Yet Another excellent time at the Hare Krishna Temple. This time around i was invited by one of the devotees to Krishna to come by for their celebration of Radhastami.
I was beautiful and the ambience certainly is a true moment to cherish. I enjoyed myself very much and at the end of it, i was at peace. Thank you for another wonderful time!

BTW: food was so good! Vegeterian meal of course but still very good. they serve us: Rice, Lentils, Egg plant in tomato sauce, green beans and potatoes, samosas with sweet chutney, dessert cake, indian sweet rice and juice! Very good!

This place ROCKS!
You just need to respect and honor all people, and the truth will be seen by you.
You gotta do their ceremonies, which is alright … it will teach you patience! I didn’t bow down to the tree when others worshiped it because I already worship a God, but they showed me much respect.
And FREE vegetarian food! Almost all vegan. It was sorta trippy the first time.

Oh my god. so one of these reviews is about breaking and entering and then making out, and another is about scamming free food from the poor «krishnas». Its people like these that make me want to steer clear from PB… and since i don’t have a tramp stamp or a puca shell necklace I really don’t fit in anyway.
Hare Krishna temple I’m sorry you are located in Pacific Beach. You would find more respect in… well anywhere but there.
5 stars for having to deal with the people below.

Hare Krishna Temple of Pacific Beach, thank you for being a friend.

These temple goers know how to party!
One of the times I visited the temple, they had a concert! This dude on tour got up and played a guitar, processed through a rack system to make it sound like a sitar. He then sang original compositions of «Hare Krishna, Krishna Hare…» And you better believe everyone got up and danced! HOLY COW! That was fun!!!
I had a chance to sit down and speak with them one morning at the temple. They were SOOOOOO kind to me. Not intrusive, not confrontational. I have a degree in Religious Studies so we sparked up a good hour of pleasant conversation.
The food is also great! For serious. I’ve eaten their food a dozen or so times. Great for the stomach, I never got sick. If youre eating at the temple, please offer a nice donation. For all that the Hare Krishnas do, and as little they ask for in return, theyre worth it.

I love this place. The food is delicious and all they ask for is a donation. Don’t miss the little shop on the way in or out… they sell vegan marshmallows:-P

I love this place! I used to live in Mission Beach and was ALWAYS broke. Seriously, music trader in PB knew me by name, as I was in there almost every-​other-​day selling CD’s to eat. Luckily, the $ 2 or $ 3 I’d make from an old Genesis album was enough to eat like a KING at the Hare Krishna Temple on Grand Avenue.
They used to do an all-​you-​can-​eat, buffet-​style dinner every evening from 6:00 — 8:00 p. m for just 5 bucks. Now, they only do dinner on Friday night for the same two-​hour span at $ 6 a pop. It saved my life as an ¹⁸⁄₁₉ year old.
Fast forward 5 years, they have different hours, but the same great, home cooking!
They specialize in authentic Indian food. It’s typically spicy and always delish! It comes with 3 full courses: Soup/​salad, dinner and dessert. They make homemade, low-​fat dressing for their salads, extremely tasty soups (usually a bean or lentil concoction), great curries and a rather unique dessert called «halva» made from Cream of Wheat. It’s REALLY good.
If you decide to check this place out, keep in mind that it’s a temple. Like Maxwell H., I’m not a follower of the Krishna faith, but I’ve got an open mind and the setting doesn’t scare me. It’s actually quite peaceful if you can allow yourself to feel comfortable. Nobody will bug you about converting, they’re just stoked you’re helping their cause.
You only live once, why not give it a try? I promise the Krishna’s won’t bite.
