Don't come in expecting traditional or standard Indian restaurant fare. I enjoyed Divya's Kitchen's Ayurvedic inspired comfort food. The highlights of the meal were the paneer nori rolls, the creamy veggie soup, the lasagna, and the rose chocolate mousse.

I have been looking for more vegan / vegetarian restaurants in the Lower East Side and East Village. Divya's Kitchen was the perfect location and offered amazing food options. We started off with the Sunflower Beet Hummus. Crisp light schmelt crackers and a delictable roasted carrot tahini was a wonderful lead into dinner our Prix Fixe dinners. I chose Soothing Mung Soup, Vegan Lasagna and the Chocolate Coconut Cake. My friend went with: Creamy Vegetable Soup, Lasagna, and Pecan Chocolate Cookie. Both soups were robust with flavor and not too filling. Both lasagnas were nicely portioned and tasty. The basil parsley pesto was used in both versions of the lasagna. My friend and I both agreed it was so tasty. I loved the rice pasta and sunflower milk béchamel used in the vegan version. Our desserts satisfied our sweet tooths without being overly sweet, dry or chalky like some vegan versions. The ambiance was homey and cozy. Service was timely and courteous I will come back again to try other menu options.

Wish there were more places like this! The food is all so good and flavorful and intentionally crafted. Also really enjoyed the hot chai! The service was really lovely and we never felt rushed which was really nice. The ambiance is cozy and simple and perfect for catching up with friends. Have also ordered delivery and really enjoyed it and was glad that the food traveled well.

An astonishing restaurant. The kitchari with sauteed greens will comfort you both now and later.| Save room for the rose-water chocolate mousse !!!

Hot take out! Salad portions are super big and such fresh ingredients! Entrees very tasty and healthy!

If you are likely to enjoy vegan food that conforms to Ayurvedic principles in an inviting setting, you should make your way to Divya's Kitchen. I have visited Divya's a dozen times over the years. The setting is serene. And service is always on point. Their mung soup is a bean soup that is perfect for wintry nights. And if none of the main dishes in the menu seem appealing to you, the custom bowl is an excellent alternative. I generally get the quinoa and wild rice base, combined with sunflower beet hummus beluga lentils, sweet potatoes and hot sauce. The date cardamom shake made with almond milk is a great complement. Divya's is part of an ecosystem that includes cooking classes and an upstairs yoga studio. But you won't go wrong simply visiting Divya's for the food.

Overall the restaurant is a nice, healthy vegetarian option in the East Village that is very accommodating toward dietary requirements (including gluten-free, nut free, dairy-free). I had the vegan lasagna which was made with brown-rice pasta as well as the avocado dip. Both were very fresh, the lasagna was not traditional but definitely tasted healthy and had many interesting textures. Both dishes were well presented. The restaurant doesn't serve alcohol but has a range of non-alcoholic wines sourced. The ambience is very relaxing and relatively quiet, the service was friendly but slightly haphazard. Overall it was a nice restaurant but you should know that is it is intended to be a healthier experience upfront before going so you're not disappointed.

We went on a Sunday evening at 6pm and there was no wait. Friendly staff and relatively quick service (in and out less than 1 hour). We ordered the spice coconut chips and although they were unique, it seemed like they gave us bottom of the bag crushed up chips, did not seem worth $9. We also got the paneer nori rolls which were nice. Finally, the entree salad was nice, not worth $23 to me since the green tahini did not hit. Overall, this is a different establishment from a typical Indian restaurant given the Ayurvedic touch, however some items I didn't feel were outstanding. A great place to try regardless!

From the minute you enter the space, you feel a cozy and relaxed vibe. Neutral earth tones are used all throughout the restaurant decor. It's simple but relaxed and it feels like you're eating in someone's home. The mission of this restaurant per the website, is to offer a healthy diet, a cleansing of your gut and how you eat. Every dish and ingredient is incredibly mindful, how it's made. Every detail exudes thoughtfulness and health for what you're about to consume. Organic and fresh ingredients only, waste not, want not. Aruvedaya is a centuries old way of life and knowledge. The belief here at Divya's is this tried and true way, keeps you at a healthy balance. Between the juices, teas, and soups -- all options stay true to the path. I'm always open to finding better vegetarian and vegan options when I dine out, especially with friends that are not carnivores. The menu here offers so many vegetable rich recipes and between the grains and pasta, you don't miss the meat. Love that about this menu. Must try: creamy vegetable soup - contains taro, broccoli, cauliflower and zucchini. It was light and creamy, so delicious. First taste was the broccoli coming through and then the richness of the cream without being heavy. It was the right balance in this bowl of comfort food. Paired with the buttermilk biscuit and it was a perfect match of flavors. I could eat those biscuits all day. For my entree, I ordered the vegetable lasagna (there's a vegan version too). Packed with layers of vegetables and thin pasta, it was a huge serving. Carrots were tender but still flavorful. The cheese was a little brown on top, and every vegetable was blended together with each mouthful. Totally recommend. My friend had the minestrone soup and that was a meal in itself. Barley, chickpea, taro, diced celery and carrots - plenty of ingredients in each spoonful. Paired with the most excellent basil-parsley pesto I've ever had. That was the best pesto!!. And very generous on the basil. Even the olive oil was fantastic. I wish I could bottle that. For my friend's entree, she ordered the vegetable curry. There's two kinds of curry on the plate, one brown and one yellow, with rice separating the two. Beautiful presentation. This place is a must try!
