Kaya's Kitchen

I can’t adequately express how much I love this restaurant in a review. It’s some of the best vegan food I’ve ever had. Each dish is not only top-tier delicious but very affordably priced, quality considered. I found the Seitan BBQ Ribs to be especially impressive as someone who converted to vegan eating later in life: stellar texture and flavor. Every single thing on this menu is a winner. Nadine always takes great care of customers both eating in and taking out.

Jersey doesn't have a lot of fully vegan restaurants and those open for dinner are even fewer. Still - Kaya's Kitchen is a high quality vegan restaurant not to be missed, if you enjoy plant-based food. My partner and I love breakfast food at all hours so were very glad they serve breakfast all day. We each had a vegan take on the Jersey pork roll. It was absolutely delicious and the home fries were cooked nicely as well. I had a delicious, earthy fresh juice - Jungle Boost. Desserts were tasty too, though I felt like my Tiramisu could have used a little more coffee flavor. The cream was one of the best vegan creams I've ever had. There are some gluten free dessert options too. The staff was extremely friendly and good vibes all around. I will be frequenting this restaurant a lot in future.

First, this is an all vegan restaurant, so this review is based on vegan food, not "is this the same as full menu restaurant". That being said, the food here is fantastic (with the only negative being the 'chicken' fingers.). The tofu, saitan, mushroom, and vegetable dishes are great. Nice vibes, we had live music on a Friday night. Attentive staff. Daily specials.

Its hard to find total vegan so it was refreshing to be able to order anything. Worth the drive. Stew on mashed potatoes was delicious. Got french toast, hoagie, and chili for take home. All were fantastic. Will go back.

BELMAR: Kaya's Kitchen is a beloved, long-standing vegan spot in the heart of downtown, offering an extensive menu of breakfast, lunch, dinner, and even catering. We grabbed their “Thanksgiving Feast for One” this holiday, and it was incredible: three different proteins, all the classic fixings, and a slice of pumpkin pie to finish off the perfect meal. They usually have a couple of outdoor tables available for dog-friendly dining when the weather is nice. Be sure to give them a follow to stay updated on specials and events!
