    I went here for my birthday lunch. The food was amazing and VEGAN! Yum. The atmosphere was fun. The staff gave great recommendations and that lavender lemon drop martini! I'm excited about my next dinner there.

    This is a cute little restaurant with a wide selection of options. The waitstaff were all very nice and had recommendations. The cauliflower was cited as everyone's favorite and I can see why. A good cauliflower wing seems like it should be easy but there is a lot of variation. The first few bites of the general tso cauliflower were amazing. So crisp and flavorful. By the end it wasn't as crisp which is to be expected but definitely not as good as those first super hot crispy bites. The lentil soup was great if not a bit simple. Something I can imagine eating at home, not in a bad way. The mock tail I ordered was a bit too sweet and I couldn't really taste all the flavors it was supposed to have in it.

    Seva is a great spot for brunch, lunch or dinner in midtown. It's vegetarian, not vegan, so there's plenty of cheesy goodness to be had if you want it! There's a range of options, from "standard American fare that happens to be vegetarian" to tempeh, seitan, faux meat, and dairy alternatives. The daily special on our last visit was butternut squash lasagna, which was made with fresh pasta and goat cheese, and served with balsamic glazed roasted Brussels sprouts. It was INCREDIBLE and well worth the higher price. Don't sleep on the daily deals - for example on Wednesdays all draft beer is half off! Service can be quite slow, so let your server know if you're in a hurry. Otherwise, excellent option for dinner before a show at the Majestic!

    General Tso’s Cauliflower - on the sweet side but very good.

    Seva is a great, unassuming spot to meet friends for no meat. Fantastic food, that just so happens to be vegetarian & vegan! But seriously, don't think of it as a compromise even if you're of the carnivore persuasion. The menu covers enough to make most happy, and while the atmosphere is *quite* drab, the friendly service more than makes up for it.

    Seva's Taco Salad

    I was looking for a quick to-go lunch and opted for the taco salad with tofu added and complete with vegan nacho cheese, salsa verde, and a side of chips. The food here is both exceptional and diverse, with generous, fresh portions that leave you satisfied. The staff is remarkably kind and welcoming. I highly recommend dining here, and don't hesitate to bring your carnivorous friends along!! While it may be a bit on the expensive side, the quality and experience make it well worth the cost. Definitely will be back before heading back home!

    I'd rate 4.5 but I'll be nice and go to 5 stars. It's awesome having a full restaurant dedicated to vegan and vegetarian food. The food is tasty and healthy too. I had a big salad with tempeh. Yum! And another day I had vegan crab cakes that were so tasty. My mom had a beyond burger she loved. And we had lentil soup that we both thought was the best lentil soup we had. The waitress was really nice. We ate on a nice sunny day so we could take advantage of the outdoor seating.

    This continues to be one of my go to spots for easy vegan eating in Detroit. This vegan/vegetarian restaurant also has a full bar. Brunch, lunch or dinner you just can't go wrong. Call ahead though if you don't want to have a long wait. While they don't take reservations, they can let you know the approximate wait and take your name. The food has not failed me even when trying something new.

    Vegan Coney dog with fries
    Cinthia K.

    Stopped by here for lunch when my friend and I were in Detroit this past summer. I was feeling extra hungry, so I decided to get their reuben and one of their smoothies, as well as a vegan coney dog to go. Our server was very friendly and attentive, and our food came out pretty quickly. This place isn't exactly what I would consider cheap, but the portions are very generous for their prices. I had the coney dog first, which was fantastic. The smoothie I had was very refreshing, which was nice as it was rather hot the day we had gone in. The reuben was humongous and delicious. Would love to come back here, should I find myself back in Detroit one day.

    Pad Thai
    Aylime B.

    Decided to try Seva, even though I am not vegetarian. It was a bit hard to find the entrance (the entrance is located in the alley behind the contemporary art studio). We were seated indoors but Seva does have a nice outdoor seating area. The waiter was super nice and attentive. The music was great! Paintings on the wall are beautiful! We started with the yam fries and the general tso's cauliflower. Both tasted great! For entrees we had the Jambalaya, Pad Thai and quesadilla. The pad Thai noodles were a bit hard/undercooked but the flavor was great. The Jambalaya was the crowd favorite, highly recommend. The quesadilla was also good. Had the lemon drop as a drink... it was okay.

I wish I could've tried them all during this visit, but I'll definitely be back soon. Out of the flavors I tried, Cereal Milk and Sea Salt Butter Cake stood out to me. I ended up getting a single scoop of the Sea Salt Butter Cake. It reminded me of sea salt caramel with pound cake. The scooper was super sweet. She let us try a bunch of flavors and gave us time to think about what we wanted to order. There are seats inside to eat your ice cream. We had parked at parking structure in downtown about a 5 minute walk away, but one of my friends got lucky and found street parking right outside. Street parking is fairly limited though. I do love the location of this store, as its proximity in downtown makes it an easy stop after grabbing food in the area. I can't wait for my next visit!

I can't imagine better foie gras, though by itself it seemed a bit plain. All the extras they added (like drops of a balsamic reduction, strawberry tapenade, and mint) truly set it off. The bread for the table, baked in house, was exquisite, and that's honestly what I want to eat again. We gambled on the wild mushroom tart - excellent mushrooms, the pastry was pretty good, but the truffle flavor is still off-putting. That's on us - everyone else likes truffle. I talked myself into the French beef wellington (filet mignon en croute), though the filet must have been rubbed with truffles before searing, which made me wish I hadn't spent $79 on it. My wife had the gnoicchi parisienne, which was good. The mashed potatoes with both of our entrees were as amazing as you would hope for something that was only half potato, the remainder being cream. Finally, we had the chocolate pot de creme. We really liked it for its texture, even though the chocolate flavor was vanishingly faint. We will need to return for the chocolate souffle - we couldn't stay out long enough for the 20-minute prep time on the souffle.

I was picking up a too good to go bag and…read more2. it was during the world cup AMBIANCE - this place was PACKED at 11:00pm on a Friday, and it didn't look like it was slowing down by the time I left. It was pretty snug in the place as people were staring at the World Cup games that were being shown in the spot. People didn't seem to mind sitting with strangers, just so they could find a spot to sit down. SERVICE - I went to pick up my order, and the guy told me he'd be back in just a minute. However, looking at the number of orders ahead of me, I knew it was going to be more than just a minute. The guy looked a little overwhelmed, but gathered the order tickets, and arranged them in sequence, and they started knocking them out one after the other. MENU/FOOD - this place had a variety of desserts, coffees and teas. I wish I could tell you all what they were, but I have no clue. Suffice it to say, aesthetically, they looked very pleasing. When I finally got my order, I received a baked sesame stick, that basically tasted like a bagel, just in stick form, and a couple of other small shaped breads. While they looked pretty, there was nothing in them, so that was a little disappointing, but hey, it was a "surprise bag" so beggars can't be choosers. OVERALL - I might come back and give this place a second shot, but it certainly would not be during a super busy time like the world cup. CELEBRITY RATING - Can Yaman
