So I had to make the Great Pilgrimage to the base of 1st Avenue in Manhattan to actually eat at Divya’s Kitchen. OMG (X 100). This was, hands down, the most delicious, nutritious, conscious Indian cuisine that I have ever had (including in my many travels through India). The staff was friendly, the environment peaceful, the food superb. Don’t wait to go there. Just go!
Made reservations for a table of 6 for 7:15 pm on a Saturday night, and the place was fully packed. Nice, cozy set up with some soft music in the background and noise levels at average is how I'd describe the ambiance at Divya's Kitchen. The menu is very inspired by Ayurdeva and focused on Dosha's The five elements combined in pairs to form the three bodily humours) but I couldn't quite translate/figure out how the food combinations contributed to the dosha's. Food overall is very much on the sweeter side, which my biggest disappointment. We ordered a few small bits which consisted on Spiced Coconut Chips, Spinach Cheese Cutlets, Paneer Nori Rolls, and Roasted Sweet Potatoes. The table enjoyed Chips and the Paneer Nori Rolls were my favorite. The Roasted Sweet Potatoes went really well with their spicy green chutney which was my absolute favorite of the evening! I was having chutney shots towards the end of my meal! For mains, the winner was the Season Kitchari $18 $6 Paneer Protein) packed with flavor, followed by Vegetable Curry in Cashew Sauce $21). I got the Carrot Risotto $21 $6 Paneer) which was disappointingly on a sweeter side, but filling enough in terms of portion size. The sauteed leafy greens were forgettable, but the basil parsley pesto was packed with flavor. The extra protein we ordered for Kitchari and Risotto again was on the sweeter side quite disappointing. Service was absolutely excellent, attentive and friendly staff. Overall, we had a good experience, but might not return again. A definite one time try if you like a modern take on Indian food, on the sweeter side.
So good! Really relaxing ambiance and all of the food was lovely and plant-based. I wish I could have tried more of the drink options—they all looked super interesting.
I was skeptical of my daughter's choice of restaurant for her birthday but I was pleasantly surprised at how tasty everything was! I enjoyed everything we had!
I love everything about this place. The food was delicious and vegan/vegetarian. We got the Beets hummus, vegan/gluten free lasagna, Vegan Creamy Curry, date shake, and Minestrone Soup. Amazing!!!!
