I am writing this review sadly, as I don't believe I will return to Divya's. My husband and I have "date brunch" on Sundays. We hadn't been to Divya's in a while, and I was hungry for the sweet waffles, which were, and are, divine. However. Our server was deferential to my husband, so much so that she totally ignored me. He got his food first. When she came to ask how the meal was, she faced away from me, making eye contact only with him. When he finished, she cleared his plate immediately, while I was made to wait. In short, I was treated like a second-class citizen. The server should know that it was my idea to go to Divya's. My husband isn't into Ayurveda at all and would never choose it...he went because I wanted to go. I have frequently ordered Divya's prepared foods, and I took several of her cooking classes. By ignoring me, the server ignored the loyal customer of many years. It's always disappointing when a server treats me like I don't exist, but it's particularly galling when that server is also a woman. She should know better. I hope Divya will take this review to heart and retrain her staff so that all guests feel welcome. read more

This review comes from a non-vegetarian person.. If you have a yoga lover friend, health minded buddy yes, bring them here. The place is nice, music is calm, feels like in a yoga studio! The server was also nice. We ordered beet chips appetizer, great. My entree order though, vegetable curry... hmm. Don't think i want to order it again. Curry with cauliflower, beans, cilantro and other veggies..felt something missing there. I mean, i had been to a vegetarian places before, and they were tasty and really suits my appetite. But not my curry. And its a bit pricey too.. read more

Divya's Kitchen - Vegan Near Me - New York, New York

Divya's got the right idea practicing the ancient indian science of Ayurveda which emphasizes belly health and eating according to our "doshas". The interiors are warm and welcoming and I loved the music. I tried the date smoothie which reminded me of a holy Indian drink called "charnamrit", it was sumptuous though only half a glass, wouldn't have minded a glassful of that. For the main course, I opted for the quinoa which was presented nicely and surrounded by herbs. However, I thought the oils and spices in it were overdone, and it made for a salty and rather overwhelming dish, so I got a side of plain quinoa to mix in. In the end, the price added up for a meal I'd perhaps not have again. Having said that, I dabble with a fair bit of Indian cooking myself and so this perhaps comes from a more critical standpoint. I'm on the lookout for how to incorporate healthy protein-rich diets into a daily staple and this encounter with Divya's only helped me explore my ideas more. Their endeavor to nudge patrons to eat healthier and focus on gut health is commendable. read more

I usually don't go to vegan restaurants but I went with a friend who was vegan. I loved the carrot risotto I got! It was flavorful and had lots of veggies around it so it felt very healthy.

Found this place on seated and I'm so glad that I did! Everything is vegetarian and there are plenty of vegan options. I had the vegetable curry in cashew sauce and it was phenomenal.

I still will definitely come back to try more things in the future. read more

Divya's Kitchen - Vegetable Curry in Cashew Sauce - Vegan Near Me - New York, New York

I've only gotten food to go here but the service and quality of food was outstanding. The waitress/hostess was extremely courteous and offered me water and a place to sit while I was waiting. I saw her giving other costumers lots of recommendations based on their questions and preferences and after she handed me my food, she went as far as to tell me to let her know if I needed anything else before I left. The food itself was sooo good. Really fresh, well balanced, filling and nourishing. It's like a eating a hug from your best friend. (Sounds silly but I mean it : ) I will definitely be back, hopefully to dine in, soon. read more

Divya's Kitchen provided us with a delicious vegetarian meal that satisfied both vegetarians and non-vegetarians alike. While the price point might be a bit higher than I would normally expect (as a non-vegetarian myself), you can tell a lot of care went into designing each dish. We really enjoyed both the sweet waffles as well as the savory waffles. Despite not being super familiar with the food, I found the kitchari super comforting! I think even if you don't practice Ayurveda, you can still have a really enjoyable meal here and know that your meal was created with care and for health! read more

It's amazing to eat fresh healthy food that is also incredibly good tasting. First of all, stepping in here transports you to a calming coastal environment, away from the NYC hubbub. The service is good and the menu has so many wonderful options to choose from. I tried the paneer tikka (though they forgot to give me the chutney). The date smoothie was so good! The pineapple upside down cake was a bit dry and not on my recommended list. read more

I visited for lunch on a Monday and got to enjoy a the chill and relaxed atmosphere since the restaurant was mostly empty. I had the Veggie curry in cashew sauce ($21) which was very flavorful and colorful. It comes with a green chutney with a sweetness that pairs amazingly well mixed with the savory red and yellow curry sauces. The rice was very fine without any chunks. The menu was nicely labeled with vegan, gluten-free, and dairy dishes. Great service as well. read more

We tried something from every course: avocado dip, with lovely plating presentation and flavor. Creamy vegetable Soup and vegan minestrone with a side of pesto. Lasagna.

First off, I'm not a vegetarian or vegan so I was skeptical of this place when my cousin decided to have a birthday dinner at Divya's Kitchen. When I stepped into Divya's, I was impressed. The atmosphere was cozy and romantic. Tables were appropriately spaced out and restrooms were clean. Our party ordered a bunch of main dishes aside from the ones I have photos of, but I can only comment on the vegetable curry in cashew sauce ($18), dessert, matcha latte ($5), and the lasagna ($23). Every dish that I had was delicious. The curry was robust, flavorful, and fresh. The only thing I would change is to add some crunch. Every ingredient in the curry dish was soft and mushy. The lasagna was one of the best dishes I've had and this is coming from a meat eater. Vegan cheese was of course different and not melting off pasta layers, but it was tasty. We had plates of mini desserts and they were mediocre (just like service). Staff gave off an unfriendly vibe. Was it because we came in with a bigger group? Were we too loud? I'm not sure what the deal was, but we came for a birthday dinner and drank matcha lattes, tea, and coffee... Overall, I'd go back if my vegan/vegetarian friends wanted to. P.S. Portions are huge. You'll definitely need a to-go box. read more

Their menu calls out the Savory Waffles as 'filling' .. Believe it. As someone who doesn't usually leave a restaurant without finishing every last crumb, I was stuffed after one waffle (of four). But I guess that works out, since I couldn't handle another bite of absolute blandness anyways. The cashew sour cream and carrot tahini sauce did not complement each other, let alone the other bold flavors in the dish. No complaints about the Avocado Dip though. Gluten free crackers on point at no additional charge. The Hibiscus Pineapple Limeade is pretty good and worth the $5. The Vegan Mozzarella Plate is super good and also a deal at $9. The mozz melts in your mouth and has probiotics. Fine as is- adding the crackers will be overkill. The dinner menu needs some work. The entree options are diverse in their inspiration but too alike in palate. Literally everything but the Lasagna, which I can't eat because I'm gluten free, has a rice base. It's interesting they don't serve any imitation meat as a vegan alternative. The only way to get protein is adding their paneer protein which costs $6. And weird they don't lean on potatoes as a carbs substitute? Only Quinoa & Wild Rice ... My Carrot Risotto, like the Savory Waffles, was pretty flavorless. The sauce didn't give it enough kick, and it felt weird to be eating pesto in chunks like that lol. But the sautéed greens were a hearty portion, so I'll give em that. Lastly the Rose Chocolate Mousse is so bangin' , and gluten free! Highly recommend. read more

Came back for a dinner visit and was truly enjoyable! App- Spinach & Cheese bite: yummy flavor perfect to start. Vegetable Soup: a big warm bowl of healthy ingredient. (But in general I'm not a big soup person) Entree- Vegetable Lasagna: veerrrrry tasty, enjoyed every bite of it. I think the trick is also their pesto sauce and Im a pesto lover. Might be top 3 pesto sauce I've ever had. I'd love even more if the pesto sauce was layered in the lasagna it would make every bite even more flavorful and burst in pesto (for me...) Carrot Risotto with Paneer: also very very good. I don't taste the carrot a much maybe the pesto sauce was too strong but enjoyed the mixture as well. Kale side was also very hearty with quality. Paneer was a delicious addition to this dish. Dessert- Rose Chocolate mouse: little too thick in my opinion. Service was very attentive and friendly. Space is very cozy and homey. Truly enjoyed. read more

The inside is cute and cozy. My main issue is that there weren't that many people eating at the restaurant on Sunday night, but it still took about 40 minutes from the time we sat down to get our two entrees. I can't speak for the Asian stir fry bowl because I only ate the cashew curry dish. It was good but I don't think I would order it again. Maybe it could use some spice? read more

I am so happy I found Divya's Kitchen through yelp! I typically volunteer in the area once a month and wanted a healthy brunch option to eat at after. I enjoyed the food here so much I came back a second time to try more options off the menu. The best part about the food here is that you don't hate yourself after indulging in a savory brunch- the abundance and freshness of the vegetables doesn't leave you needing to take a post-brunch nap. My absolute favorite item on the brunch menu is the Scrambled Paneer Toast. My boyfriend got this dish the first time and I definitely suffered a case of food envy that I demanded to go back a second time just so I could enjoy an entire portion myself (he was not willing to share more than a bite of his!). The paneer scramble is velvety and fluffy which melds perfectly with how crunchy the einkorn-barley bread is under it t. To top it all off there is a raisin-cranberry sauce which is tangy and give the right amount of spice to the dish (I've also found that if you dip the radishes they give on the side into the sauce it's quite excellent). I've sampled a bunch of the other dishes including the avocado toast, quinoa salad, and jicama-avocado salad and haven't been disappointed! The only item which I didn't enjoy completely was the cold brew, it didn't come with ice in it so I didn't completely enjoy it since it was room temperature. In retrospect I probably could have asked for ice but I was too busy scarfing down all my food. Definitely not a reason not to come, more of an FYI to ask for ice. I will definitely be back here! read more

Let me start out by saying that our server was excellent - 5 stars out of 5 to him, but I wish the rest of our experience was just as good. I booked a reservation for 2 in advance to make sure that there were enough options without tree nuts (my friend is allergic). They called me to confirm the reservation, and to confirm that there were several options for my friend to choose from. It's worth mentioning that we went on a Friday night, and it was pretty busy. When we arrived, we were seated right away. We opted for outdoor seating, which has an entire open wall and lots of airflow (great for those who are still covid-averse, and I would have felt safe dining in that space even before I was vaccinated). The area had a garden-like feel to it. The ambience was quite nice, and would be a perfect setting for a date. We ordered several appetizers - the foccacia, the paneer nori rolls and the spinach cheese cutlets. The foccacia was a bit too dry, and didn't feel much like a foccacia, although the olives inside were pretty good themselves. The foccacia itself was disappointing and I wouldn't order it again - 2 out of 5. However, the paneer nori rolls and the spinach cheese cutlets were amazing - 5 out of 5. I would order these two dishes over and over again for myself. That said, we did have a bit of a nut issue with the spinach cheese cutlets. They come topped with nuts, but the server said the kitchen could make my friend's without the nuts. However, the kitchen missed that detail. The sever apologized and told us that the kitchen could re-make them without nuts, but the re-make took forever - apparently the kitchen re-made them a couple of times with nuts before they finally got it right. The nut-free cutlets still tasted good, but the mishap left a bad taste in my mouth (pun intended). For the main course, I ordered the regular lasagna and my friend ordered the vegan lasagna with a green chutney as a substitution for the pesto. The lasagna felt less like a lasagna and more like a vegetable casserole. There was LOTS of broccoli in it. If you're in the mood for an actual lasagna, this is not going to satisfy your craving. But if you're in the mood for something healthy, this will do. Flavor-wise, neither my friend nor I were impressed, except that I liked that the cheese on top of my "lasagna" was crispy. We only took a few bites, and opted not to bring the leftovers home. For dessert, we both ordered the chocolate rose mousse - my friend's without the almond garnish. It came out quickly. My friend really enjoyed his. I thought it was good, but not as good as another dessert I had eaten there previously (3.5 out of 5 stars for the mousse). At the end, the server comped our drinks, and I think he also comped the spinach cheese puffs for the mishap. I'd go back for the appetizers, or to try something new, but given our entree and our experience, Divya's Kitchen is not at the top of my list of places to return to. read more

The warm glow of the overhead and recessed lamps pooling onto the dining area make for an inviting atmosphere, while the juxtaposing hues of the chair and table settings naturally create an intimate vibe. Service is attentive and friendly, and while our order took a bit of time to get to us, it was worth the wait. Any combination of spinach and paneer on the menu is a winner and absolute must try. They each have a distinct enough flavor profile that if your stomach is up for it, you should try them all. We got the Paneer Nori Rolls, Spinach Cheese cutlet, and the palak paneer bowl, which is accompanied by some tangy chutney. The other highlight of the menu is the Date Cardamom shake, which is a generously spiced, creamy flavor bomb. In terms of texture and taste, this ranks amongst the best vegan shakes I've had. To round it out, we also tried the Quinoa Tabbouleh Salad, and while tasty, it was probably the most ordinary-albeit familar- part of the meal. Although the menu recommends it for cold weather, the bowl was fairly lukewarm, and it wouldn't feel out of place ordering it at a Chopt/Sweetgreen. Will definitely be visiting here again. If you're in the area please stop by! read more

I was at the restaurant tonight. I have eaten there many times. Tonight I was treated like a nobody. They ran my card and said it wasn't working. I had just used my card online and it worked fine. The waitress came up to the table and said, "are you sure you may need to transfer funds into the account?" Are you kidding me??!! Is that what you ask a customer? When I approached her with it she became defensive and instead of apologizing tried to justify her statement. She said, well I have to put money into my account all the time and I forget so I just figured. It was not an appropriate interaction. I asked for them to run the card again. Again declined. This time I was confused. The card had just worked. They then typed in the number, I told them they could and it worked just fine. I explained and gave feedback regarding the interactions and the manager Victor told me he "he didn't care." When I explained that a simple apology would have been enough for me to move forward he didn't offer one--instead simply acted like he could care less as to whether I come back or not. I usually don't give negative reviews anywhere because I know how hard it is for people to survive in this crazy economy. However, if they treated someone who has visited their place hundreds of times at this point, always paid and given gratitude is tips this way, I can't imagine they will treat anyone else that poses a slightly challenging situation to them any better. read more

I was invited back to give Divya's Kitchen another try and I'm glad I did. Service was excellent on a Thursday night, our waitress was kind and helpful. My dining friend and I also got to meet Divya which was a nice surprise. The cheese/spinach cutlet is excellent, make sure you try it. The paneer is very nice cooked. And don't forget to ask for the amazing green hot sauce on the side. The Asian stir fry was still delicious, especially after adding on the spicy tahini and hot sauce. The vegetables are nicely cooked. My friend enjoyed her carrot risotto. I tried a bite and there is a a lot of subtle flavors and spices included in this dish. The chocolate mousse was also very good. The rose petals were fragrant and added a nice/unexpected flavor to the chocolate. They offer a cooking class upstairs which is nice. read more

Divyas still 'just feels right' and is another restaurant I expect we make an effort to visit on future visits to New York. On this visit we order the prix fixe menu, one small bite, one main, and a desert. We both especially enjoyed the Avocado Dip and Sunflower Beet Hummus small plates, where we noted more attention to plating than on our previous visit. Not that it made the food taste better, but it is a nice touch. The mains (Roasted Vegetable bowl and Vegetable Curry) were better than ok, but I suspect on a future visit we would skip the mains and order a selection of small plates and starters...both sections had multiple dishes that looked intriguing. For desert we shared a very good, rich tasting Rose Chocolate Mousse which we would recommend. The Pistachio Fudge...not so much. A small number of small pieces that we would not order again. read more

I love Divya's. Delicious vegetarian Indian food with Ayurvedic influence (they note the doshas for each dish). Ambience and decor is amazing. It is super peaceful and serene on the inside. I forget that I'm in crazy busy New York when I am inside. There's definitely a special energy in here. It isn't all vegan but very vegan friendly. Also lots of gluten free options. Everything is very healthy and hearty! No fake meat here-- truly plant based menu with lots of whole grains, vegetables and legumes like lentils. I loved the vegetable curry in cashew sauce. It doesn't sound that special from the description, but it tastes amazing !!!! One of the best curries I've had. Great flavors and the right amount of creaminess from the coconut/ cashew, without being too heavy. Entrees here will run you in the $15-$17 range. Also love their beverages. I tried the almond chai which is a housemade chai. So good! Not too sweet and great spices. They also have non caffeinated beverages. Service is great! Friendly and knowledgeable wait staff.

This was my first time at divya's kitchen. It's not even worth a detailed review so I'll give you the synopsis. The food was overpriced, bland, not very tasty, weird textures, disappointing at best. First strike, the water was warm from the tap and they had no ice . Second strike they were out of three entrees out of the seven they have on the menu . Third strike was the best thing they had on the menu they had removed and no longer serve. That should have tipped us off but we had already made reservations so we ordered two appetizers , the hummus and beetate and the mozzarella both vegan. Nice presentation but very meh. We split entrees the curry and mixed vegetables. It was almost insulting the mixed vegetables were mini Bok choy and like two pieces of shredded carrots. The curry was tasteless and mushy. I totally do not recommend this place and I really really wanted to like it. The service was not very appetizing either. read more

Service: Good Quantity: Good Cleanliness: Good Food: Sunflower Beet Hummus $9 & Curry Bowl $18 My vegan friend was raving about their veggie lasagna at this place and encourage me to try it with him today. Luckily, not busy during the long holiday weekend so we didn't have to wait, but we didn't realize they only served veggie lasagna at dinner, not lunch so we have to brainstorm what to order. Sunflower Beet Hummus: light refreshing beet taste with sunflower seeds, tahini, orange, celery, roasted carrot with light crackers on the side. Interesting mixed and different in a good way. Curry Bowl: spicy veggie curry in cashew sauce with basmati rice, curried red lentils and beets. It's surprisingly good. Light cashew curry sauce with just-right spiciness, warm and very filling. I will definitely return to try their veggie lasagna for dinner. This is a true healthy vegan place that I highly recommend. read more

Food very reasonably priced (same since pre-covid I think). Non-alc drinks kinda $$$. Someone undercharged me and my friends there by accident. Having just eaten food made by monks or whatever, we felt we had to tell 'em or we'd probably go straight to wherever. So we told the person and they said not to worry about it and just pay less. We left a big tip. Sincerely positive vibes. Good for a date or a casual meal. Or instead of robbing a bank. read more
