"Indian restaurant Aryurveda Cafe, known for its set vegetarian menus, closed earlier in May, according to Westside Rag." - Emma Orlow

"This longtime Upper West Side favorite — where the focus on health and wellness is reflected by its cozy interior and calming music — serves fresh, homemade Indian food. The set menu changes daily, cycling through classics like yellow lentil dal and stewed okra, so diners have a new experience each visit. Most of the dishes are naturally gluten-free and vegetarian, but Ayurveda offers gluten-free naan and a dessert alternative for those who ask." - Eater Staff, Elizabeth Myong

The food was pretty good overall. I would rate 7 out of 10 in terms of taste, however it was like home cooked food without too much oil, so it didn’t feel too heavy. Plus of course they were able to easily customize the thali to be vegan. If I actually lived in this area I am sure I would visit this place quite often.

I liked the way they offer their food. And definitely the taste. They will give you as much as you want. The dessert was the best part. The nun was delicious too. If you like Indian food, this is the place for you. I’ll definitely try it again, when I come back to NY.

This place is very cozy and have a sense of tranquility. If you're in a mood for some good clean vegetarian food especially Indian then definitely come here. The waitress was very sweet as well. I would love to come back. Enjoy!

Just had a fabulous meal here! The food is flavorful and delicious with a solid variety of options. The food is basically already prepared so you get your meal quickly. The service is attentive and friendly. Atmosphere is calm and comfortable so you end the meal really feeling great, especially after all the veggies you ate. Menu rotated but I really enjoyed the fried veggie cake, lentils and broccoli-potato dish. The rice pudding dessert is good too.

Incase if you're visiting this place thinking they serve Indian food, DO NOT. Food was extremely bland and lacked flavor. This would be a good place for you if you cannot handle the spice as everything is extremely bland. They only serve the Thali and you do not find the ala carte option. The hosts were friendly and welcoming.

Love. Love. Love. I have been coming to Ayurveda Cafe for a few years now. I love that there is no menu and I am always pleased by the simple yet delicious plates. I come here when I am craving warm, home-cooked food, to ground and center myself. The staff is lovely, love their spiced tea, and always remember to take a fortune on your way out 😉

I wish I could give more stars! The server was extremely polite and attentive. The lunch thali was both affordable and delicious. They indeed provide all flavors. Sweet dish was excellent. I plan to take my vegetarian parents again.

I Love the place. Such a healthy and filling meal. All natural, no meats all vegetarian. It's not an expensive place, and the Indian spices, sooo tasty.
