Reviews for Kaya's Kitchen in Belmar, NJ
Wonderful VEGAN place. Was able to choose anything and everything on the menu. Is usually hard to find variety for a... vegetarian,let alone a vegan but this place won't disappoint. Great variety of tasty food that makes the non-animal eater,happy! Read more
Good food and always excited to try new vegan places. Nothing blew me away but the food is solid, nice portions and the staff is... friendly. Read more
Have been there twice already! One of the few best tasting vegan food in NJ. The best so far has been their pizza and Jambalaya.... They can definitely make their enchiladas softer but overall a pleasant experience. Read more
Solid vegan spot to try! The service was super nice and was very accommodating. So many different types of vegan options ranging... from burger, to wings, and even burritos. The app sampler was a great way to try all of the different items and sauces they usedfor the wings. Also, food was not too heavy. Highly recommend. Read more
Today we visited Kayas fir the first time and had Tofu Buffalo wings with their cream Ranch- amazing. The ranch was tasted so... fresh! Our main courses were the Acapulco Loco and the Happy Buddha. The dishes were very good and had great taste, therestaurant had a great atmosphere and they were very nice. I would definitely come back and suggest this place if you?re insearch of vegan. Read more
So I am not vegan, but I'm up for anything and I like middle eastern food... years ago this was vegetarian and in a way smaller... location. I got falafel with side of the best fresh, handmade French fries that I dipped in the Thai peanut sauce I asked for.Even the ketchup was thick with fresh brite tomato flavor. My falafel balls were delicious,with a perfect crunch on the outside, with a nice curry spice (not spicy), fresh Tahiti and veggies.. My friend got the Philly cheese steak, the vegan cheese tastedjust like " real" cheese.. he thought it was... . The plant based "steak" had good flavor with all the components eatentogether, but by itself as a NON vegan I thought the texture was spongy. Ryann our waitress was knowledgeable and answeredour suggestion questions. I hate it when servers say everything is good. She was very attentive and and friendly. The diningroom has a Eastern meets Africa vibe with wooden tribal masks. The only problem is the address on the menu and in GPS isn'tcorrect. It's on the side street, next to flames off of main St. So I couldn't find it. I am planning to go back for somedinner specials. and my falafel fix! Read more
The sloppyier the better! Amazing homemade vegan chicken, vegan wings, and daily specials. Incredible menu that included vegan... sandwiches such as BLT, Philly cheese steak, eggplant, and Ruben. Perfect to grab before the beach. Quality surpassed any veganchicken we have tried at any NJ festivals/restaurants. Insanely cheap for the quality, service, and flavor. Wish we were closer,would love to eat in. Featured is Country Seitan (with vegan bacon, seitan, and homemade vegan cheese) and the Kaya Comboappetizer plate (tofu buffalo wings bbq wings, chicken nuggs, ribs, and potato salad). Read more
This place can simply be described as an experience when I went here there were so many options. It's like they had a little... bit of every single cuisine I remember. I personally ordered an enchilada with some sesame sensation and steak, now one thingthat I think is crazy is that everything I just said had no meat in it and not even me. No cheese. This place is completelyvegan. Now I know that it's commonly considered that vegan food is not the best, but in this case it was really good andpersonally I'm vegetarian so I never tried it before. So for me I didn't know how to compare this so that I will not bespeaking. But as a vegetarian I will say that the food was really good. The only small issue is that sometimes they use a lot ofbarbecue sauce. And as I said, I'm a vegetarian not a meat eater so I don't know how much barbecue sauces usually use. But in mysteak, which was what I personally ain't there was just a lot of barbecue sauce to the point I had to scrape some of it off. Butthis doesn't mean that the steak was bad or the fake steak in this case was bad. It was still really good and I enjoyed it alot. I also got ribs which are vegan and those were also really good and I just love the shop design because it had a niceatmosphere and the service was great. The people help you with deciding and I just love restaurants that have staff that youknow. Help you with making decisions because that's probably the hardest thing, especially in this restaurant, considering youcould literally find so many different cuisines in this one restaurant. They also have a good dessert selection and I had thelemon cake which was Good. In conclusion, this place is just a great place to go. If you're vegetarian and you want to try somefake meat or maybe it's also good if you eat meat and you want to try eating fake meat. This place is definitely a great placeto go with friends but it is on the more expensive side but again it is basically worth it. One more thing is that Read more
