Everything was perfect from the teas and appetizer through dessert. We enjoyed the Chai tea, ginger tea, vegan cheese plate with homemade GF crackers, vegan lasagna, curry vegetables with homemade sauces. For dessert we enjoyed the Carob coconut cake. Would highly recommend for anyone who loves colorful healthy food, and plenty of vegan, vegetarian, GF options. Hope we get the chance to dine here again!

I have been waiting years to return to NYC post pandemic, with full hopes to attend Divyas kitchen. It was everything and more! I suffer from an immune condition which led me to find healing through Ayurveda, and cook regularly from Divyas cookbooks. My entire family loved their meals at the restaurant and no ill tummy or bloating which I usually endure after restaurant dining. I wish I lived closer to visit here regularly. Looking forward to when I can return. Much love and thanks to Divya and her staff!
Divya's KitchenResponded on August 1, 2023
Kate, we're so, so glad to hear that your experience was everything you hoped for and more! Although the pandemic changed many things about our city, we're immensely grateful to still be here for guests like you and your family. Much love to you all from the Divya's team 🙏

I enjoy Divya's for dinner at the beginning of the week. It gives me energy for the rest of the week; is a pleasant ambiance for a vegan/vegetarian meal. I always feel great the next day and I believe it's the healing power of the food! No matter what day you visit, it's really worth it.

Servers and Staff were mostly absent during our entire visit. Our food was barely warm and so salty, my dish was awful. I wanted to order something else but I could not find anyone to ask, finally it was time to go and we asked for the check then couldn't find anyone to take it for so long. It was frustrating especially because we were all still hungry since whatever was edible was served in such small portions. 5 people-$400 for food that mostly ended up in the garbage, it was so sub-par.
