Fantastic restaurant. It is on the pricey side for sure, but SOOO worth it. The ingredients they use are top class, the food quality and taste superb, the servers friendly and knowledgeable about what to order, and the ambience peaceful and conducive to conversations in normal tones. Went with some friends from out of town who exclaimed several times how delicious the food was. Their reaction was, “We feel satisfied and just about full, but not stuffed or queasy.”

Beautiful decor and delicious food. Staff was outstanding. After our meal I walked a few blocks and realized I'd misplaced my MetroCard. We headed back to Divya's Kitchen to look for it. As I walked in a staff member greeted me with the found MetroCard (it had fallen out of my pocket and on to the floor) and had texted me about it. Super helpful.

I had vegan lasagna and my friend had regular lasagna. We both like the different flavor, but everything was extremely salty! It really affected the experience. Both lasagnas came in 3 minutes after we ordered. I understand they prepare food in advance but it felt like microwave food. The only things we liked were the ambience and our server. Overall, the price doesn’t worth at all!

We liked this place so much we ate here twice in a week’s stay! Food is so tasty, healthy n quirkily different. Drinks (no wine) were delicious n unusual. If I lived here - I would be a regular. Staff are lovely. Overall if you like vegetarian n want some real food - this is the place to be!

Everything was perfect. From the making of the reservation (I got a text and a phone call to confirm) to getting the check! I put in a special request for a birthday dessert and lit candle (which Zack, our server, provided) and he came out at the perfect time. We also asked for paper menus and he happily provided them, which was nice. The food was so delicious, service was amazing. Zack was a delight and very helpful with the menu options and also funny! This is my favorite restaurant in the city. So delicious. I can always rely on this place for its deliciousness and the great service. And the ambience is so peaceful!!!

This is my favorite restaurant in New York….actually, in the WORLD!! The food is more than a treat, it’s an adventure in the use of flavors. The quality, creativity, and ultimately taste are unmatched! And….portions are generous. The fact that everything is absolutely healthy, often vegan or gluten free is a bonus. Don’t miss this one!

Great place! The vegan lasagna is wonderful. It’s hard as a vegan finding food that I like, usually I cook for myself. This is a great place to take a break from cooking and feeling satisfied
