    Nevedya is a cozy and comfortable place (especially on a cold day) to enjoy a steaming bowl of medicinal khichadi that is both delicious and gentle on your digestive system. The cacao elixirs are of the highest quality, and a joy to sip on. Lastly Nevedya’s ever changing flavoured vegan cheesecakes, that come adorned with both fresh and dried fruit is beyond description and really needs to be experienced personally to understand the immense delight involved. Everyone who works at Nevedya are always so welcoming and helpful. We would highly recommend.

    The food was of excellent quality and taste. Enjoyed authentic South Indian dishes. No skimping on the vegetables either. The taste was mouth watering and delicious. The service was great. The dishes were brought out in a timely manner and we were able to enjoy them. I will highly recommend the place if you want an authentic Indian vegetarian meal.
