    It is heaven on earth, the space is warm and rich in decor, beautiful hand crafted tables, the food makes me close my eyes to savour the many dimensions of flavour and the experience is nourishing on every level - body, heart and soul.

    Cacao elixers are the thing of dreams. The whole menu is gorgeous. Sight, taste, smell... all delightful. The place itself is made with pure love. It's a nurturing space and nurturing food. A lovely place to go with soul mates and good friends, or by yourself, equally nourishing. Staff are gorgeous.

    Nevedya is always a wonderful place to visit, going with friends or alone. I've recently been twice in two weeks and had their fabulous Khichadi which is so heart and soul warming. The staff are amazing too, so warm and friendly and helpful. The atmosphere is lovely too, I always sit out the back in the garden where there are heaters, comfortable sitting and a gorgeous garden. Well done Nevedya, you rock!
