Amazing location! Was able to take my vegetarian mother and grandmother here and we had a great meal, good vibes, nice and quiet able to talk catch up as a family and they are service dog friendly! Can’t ask for much more than that in Ann Arbor. Oddly enough kind of hard to finda spot like this in Ann Arbor coming from Washington DC where we have a lot of vegetarian and vegan options. Grateful and thankful, 10 out of 10 highly recommend.

The food is really good and I love the vegetarian options. The general tsao cauliflower was amazing!! I tried the pizza bread but was very disappointed. I had coffee and it was bitter. It is a clean restaurant with lots of options.

Taahirah was our server. My sister and her husband had had her before. She’s very pleasant and very conscientious. The ambience is beautiful lots of live plants. In fact the front area in the big windows that face the outs are so full of plants. I didn’t realize it was a restaurant!!! Hopefully, that was just me as I would hate to think anybody else wouldn’t see it and therefore wouldn’t have a meal there. We shared an appetizer that was bruschetta -I was advised it was the best ever and indeed it was. The garlic crisp bread with hummus, and very finally chopped black olives pico de gallo it was just incredibly good all of it. I would order it again in a heartbeat as my meal! We all had something different. My sister enjoyed the taco salad, which is her go to there. It looked delicious but yet so healthy. My brother-in-law had enchiladas made with sweet potato frankly I’ve never had a vegetarian menu that was so diverse.!!! I had a Italian pizza sandwich. It had delicious pizza sauce with fresh mozzarella, fresh basil all on a delicious grilled sourdough bread. We were all too far for dessert, but will have to try it next time. I am able to get there. It will definitely be a go to when I’m in A2!!!!!!

My friend and I dined in prior to UM hockey game. The atmosphere was comfortably relaxed and inviting. Service was prompt and attentive. Dinner? Absolutely delicious. We shared General Tso’s cauliflower appetizer. Our main meal was the TLT and the Tempeh Reuben. I greatly appreciate all the vegan options across the menu. It was so hard to make a choice. We will definitely visit again to try everything else on the menu.

Seva was a cute and welcoming spot to eat. Service was kind and friendly. This vegan/vegetarian spot had so many choices. We chose the Gouda tots for an appetizer. They were delicious. I got the "fish fillet" sandwich which was a special. It was a grilled and breaded piece of tofu with a vegan tar tar sauce, lettuce and tomato. It was delicious! Yam fries were the best I've ever had! Hubby got the Pad thai and enjoyed it too. Portions are not huge but satisfactory. Food was served hot and fresh. It is a bit pricey but still a spot I will return to!

Pretty disappointed they don't have literally any birthday offers but it was still a great experience. Food was hot, seasoned well and delicious. Waiter was attentive, kind and timely. We had a party of 7 and they were able to accommodate us quickly even with it being a weekend. Highly recommend the general tsos cauliflower, spinach artichoke dip, mac and cheese, pad thai and the curry special.

A very welcoming atmosphere. Very good vegetarian food with over 50 years of history. You can usually walk in and get a table, but if not, you can add your cellphone to a list and get a message when your table is ready while visiting the surrounding shops.

A wonderful place to eat if you are vegetarian, vegan and gluten free. A large variety of dishes to choose from the menu. The food is delicious. The lemonade is home made and absolutely fantastic. Alcohol is served such as wine and ciders. The staff were friendly and helpful as well. The atmosphere is enjoyable.

The food is fabulous! Service was good. The restaurant is conveniently located with lots of parking. It is a bit loud (or maybe it was the table behind us, not sure!) The roasted beet and goat cheese ravioli was a daily special - I think they should add it to their regular menu! It was SO delicious! The ravioli was amply filled and the pasta was pretty perfectly cooked. The sauce was a shallot-chive cream sauce which was balanced and full of flavor. The taco salad had a lot of components; it's a bit messy, but super tasty! The guacamole is top notch. The grilled veggie salad was as expected. The kids quesadilla and fries were enjoyed by the little one! I love that they're vegan or vegetarian and can alter most dishes to accommodate your choice. They also have quite a few gluten free options. Definitely worth checking out!

We grabbed a quick bite here on a recent weekday. It was my first visit, but my husband had been here many times before. We were seated promptly and greeted by a friendly server. I thought I knew what I wanted, but when I asked if something could be made gluten-free, I learned that it couldn't. The server offered to grab me their gluten-free menu, which helped me decide on what to order (burrito bowl). Food arrived a reasonable time later, and it was quite tasty. Portions were generous and I had enough left over for a small snack later in the day. I'm glad that I tried Seva, although I was a little disappointed in the gluten-free options; I felt somewhat limited despite the separate menu. Notably, they do have a gluten-free fryer for those who need to be diligent about avoiding it.

I'm not vegetarian or vegan, but love that this option is around for tasty veg food! It has a nice interior and ambiance for a sit down meal - solo, with friends, on a date, it'd all work. Today I went in for a quick lunch and got their Tempeh Reuben with came with a pickle spear and side of choice. I got the Yam Fries w/Vegan Spicy Mayo sauce. All were great! The yam fries were hot and fresh, with the perfect amount of crisp on the outside. The Reuben was melty and flavorful. I got it with regular cheese but there's the option to get vegan cheese instead. The bottom piece of bread did get a bit soggy over the course of the meal, but that's minor. Overall it was a filling lunch. Could probably be split between 2 friends. 4 stars instead of 5 just because in prior experiences coming here with friends, seems like sometimes the dishes can be a little hit or miss depending on what you get.

This is our 2nd or 3rd visit after going to Motor City Comic-Con. There is something for everyone! Great customer service, attentive and friendly. We ordered Gouda tots and General Tso's Cauliflower for appetizers. They are both delicious and the best cauliflower I've had that's lightly battered and a hint of spice. I ordered Mac and cheese with side salad. It was piping hot and cheesy, perfection! My husband ordered the burrito with rice and beans. My cousin had the beyond burger with yam fries, which were hot and well seasoned. Next visit, I'd like to try a cocktail!

Stopped by here during a business trip and I love all the healthy options. I had the chargrilled vegetable bowls and added chickpeas, and tried with both the goat and house made almond cheeses. The goat cheese was the winner for me! I also had a side of their yam fries which are oh so good. Would love to come back and try some of their drinks and other food on the menu!

A vegetarian paradise. Wow, I have only good things to say about this quirky vegetarian eatery. The menu is a bit limited, but full of scrumptious vegan and vegetarian friendly fare, including brunch, lunch and dinner entrees, plus desserts and a full bar (they offer some alcohol free "mocktails"). There's not one thing on the menu that I wouldn't recommend. Last trip here, I had the pizza pest sandwich with sweet potato fries- this has got to be one one the best sandwiches I've ever had. Oh and the sweet potato fries were so good I forgot they are technically 'healthier.' I had vegan pumpkin cheesecake to top it off, and it was delicious, still rich and with a great flavor profile.. you wouldn't know it's vegan based off flavor or textures.. I've had brunch/breakfast here a few times and the breakfast dishes taste top notch, rich in flavor and presentation is first class.. I've tried the baked mac and cheese a few times- both the regular version and the vegan option- both are rich, creamy and delicious, and portion sizes are just right.. it rivals Zingerman's!! I liked the ambiance and decor, very zen and relaxing.. service is always quite decent and only once did we have a very long wait to get food (I believe a football game was happening that day in Ann Arbor). Prices are a bit high, but on par with the local area.. Overall, a five star restaurant with great food, service, ambience and a nice focus on vegetarian friendly dishes..

The weapons of choice for the 3 of us was the Vegan Pizza Pesto sandwich, Cilantro-Peanut Stir fry and a vegetarian Mac and cheese with a cup of red lentil coconut soup (lunch special). Wait staff and cooks were on their game with bringing a positive vibe for the dining experience. The first two dishes I listed and shared had their unique flavor profiles and equally delicious, but if I had to pick a supreme choice for anyone to eat it would be the Stir fry! Place had a good beer and cocktail menu as well. Stop in and get some grub, you won't regret it.

Cool to have a big menu with their focus on vegetarian and vegan. The bruschetta is different and a unique spread, I do prefer the classic. The quesadilla (no picture) is sooooo good! My favorite out of the things we tried. The stir fry was a little bit too salty and over sauced for me but I do love the plentiful veggies in the bowl. Fries are crispy!

Much respect to the veggie crowd, I'm loving the experience of finding good dishes. Seva's quesadilla is tasty and filling, and $20. I can't tell you the price of anything else because I felt like it was delicious enough to buy again - the yam fries and gouda balls are excellent. Especially the fries - I was an idiot and forgot they were in my fridge for a few days, but they still "toaster-oven'd" well enough. The quesadilla hits me because because I fondly(?) remember buying a steak quesadilla at Qdoba for $12 back in the day until I saw it had 3,000 whatevers of sodium. So I get that there's a healthy premium and restaurant cost challenges, the $20 tag just stuck with me as a bit much. But I saw the price and bought it anyway, so that's on me. Still delicious AF though. One other note - the tortilla chips that come with it are stupid-good, but are placed in the takeout container with the quesadilla, so they lose crispness after a bit. I toaster-oven'd those also and they were still excellent.

I've been eating More plant based so wanted to give this restaurant a try after reading the reviews. When we first walked in the bartender looked right at us and didn't say anything to us for a few minutes before finally searing us. Once seated, our server came to us and she was very sweet. We ordered chips and guacamole. The chips are homemade and are delicious. The guacamole wasn't very flavorful. I ordered a burrito and it was just OK. It was very sweet and very hot so it was really hard for me to enjoy it. I expected there to be more creative items on the menu but there wasn't really. A lot of the stuff I could've made at home. It's nice to see a place that caters to non-meat eaters, I just feel like this restaurant can do so much more!

Seva is a great spot for sit-down dining, especially if you are a vegetarian or vegan -- or you have friends or family in town who are. We are obsessed with the halloumi sandwich with yam fries - and the vegan spinach artichoke dip. It is a VERY convincing cheese dupe. I do feel like the menu is a little on the pricey side, especially for vegetarian options. But otherwise I'm a big fan.

Seva is one of my favorites in Ann Arbor, and tonight's visit didn't disappoint. I hadn't been back since the beginning of Covid, so it was a delight to find that the food was still good and that the restaurant continues to draw patrons. I was further thrilled to see that about half the staff continued to wear masks. While our waiter did not, he did keep his distance each time he checked on us. Our waiter was very attentive to our needs by checking with us multiple times to see if we needed anything. As for the food, I ordered the Beyond Burger with cheddar cheese and the peanut-kale salad. I also enjoyed the Patio Punch with rum to wash it all down. That mason jar my punch came in was much bigger than I expected! It was perhaps the best deal on a cocktail I have had in years! Yum-o!!

This place was just as good as the one in Detroit! This was so exciting to me to find them in Ann Arbor. I ordered an appetizer, main course and a bottle of wine. The service was wonderful. The food satisfied My taste buds. I was looking for the flavors I had found in Detroit and they were present. The table service was just right.

I returned after Zumba with a friend to try some new options. I tried the Senegalese peanut soup and tempeh Caesar salad. Both were excellent. The soup was a creamy base of peanut purée in the broth, and tomatoes and kale as the solid portions of the soup. A mild cayenne kick rounded the tastes out. The salad was amazing. All of the umami of a traditional. The tempeh was very well executed and diced into perfectly tiny pieces. I dare any skeptics to throw shade at this vegan meal.

My first time visiting Seva, and it certainly won't be my last. The service was very good, and the food was even better. I ordered the Baked Brie appetizer - which was phenomenal. For lunch, I had the Grilled Pesto Pizza Sandwich. I was concerned because some restaurants have very hard/difficult to chew bread for sandwiches - not the case here. Downsides: You might not be able to customize your order. The two items I originally wanted on the menu weren't able to be customized, which is why I got the pizza sandwich. The Pad Thai already had the cilantro sauce in it. The Mushroom French Dip Sandwich already had onions.

I have come here a handful of times over the years and I've always been disappointed in the food. The vegan bruschetta is fine and I find the yam fries good! And this visit I got the vegan hot chocolate and the vegan strawberry milk which I was impressed with. We ordered the vegan mac n cheese and the vegan tempeh rueben. The mac n cheese was bland and just didn't feel like it had any love in it. The rueben was overstuffed with cheese which made it slimy and unappetizing. There was hardly any tempeh and the sauce in the rueben made the sandwich a soggy mess. I feel like I've tried every vegan option on the menu, some options multiple times, and have never found something I would consider appetizing. If forced to come here again I would just order a milkshake and yam fries. The other negative aspect of this restaurant is how expensive it is! At the end of the day I'm happy this place has vegan options, but there are so many other great vegan restaurants in the area that leave this place to shame. I have given this place 100 chances to impress me and I will not give it another. Perhaps their vegetarian fare is better than the vegan?

My party of over 10 people had made a reservation in advance, but upon our arrival, we were asked to wait while our table was cleaned. Our desire to order appetizers was met with a lengthy wait for service. It seems they were understaffed during this busy dinner hour, and it took over 30 minutes for our appetizers to arrive. The quality was just passable. Following this, we ordered our main courses. They were served after some time and unfortunately, they lacked flavor. I had also requested a slice of cake to celebrate my friend's anniversary. Despite assurance from the staff, I found myself repeatedly reminding them about it, resulting in delayed service. One positive note was their eco-friendly practice of using biodegradable containers and bags for takeout. However, I've experienced better vegan/vegetarian food elsewhere for the same or even a lower price. Unless I hear of improvements, I'm not inclined to revisit or recommend this restaurant, unless it's the only available vegan option in the area.

We had the parsnip soup and it was a 7 out of 10. Caesar salad was AMAZING. Dressing was seasoned really well. Baked Brie tastes more like a dessert. I frequent the one and Detroit and have never been to this one. Great atmosphere for business or a date!

Absolutely outstanding food. So many choices, and lots of vegan options, and you can even make non vegan dishes vegan by subbing stuff-all on the menu you don't have to figure it out yourself. The general tso cauliflower was so good, and the pasta (vegan) and ravioli were delish. Also got the squash enchiladas, with homemade tortillas chips, also excellent. Great beer/wine/cocktail menu as well. The vegan key lime was good, it was made with coconut something so had that flavor in it as well. Tasty but you must like coconut. The orange cake with frosting was sooooo gooood, vegan frosting, nice and thick! Cake was moist & just overall everything was really well done. I really can't wait to try the Detroit location too.

Not much at this place is really that good anymore, and the prices are outrageous for what you get since they raised the costs. I know we live in an inflation age but the prices do not justify the taste of the food. There are a few good options like the breakfast meals and deserts/drinks, but overall the menu items lack flavor/ just really aren't that good for the price you pay. Many other places in the area that offer vegan food at a much better price! Will likely not eat here again unfortunately after frequenting the place many times over the course of the last 8 years.

This was our first visit to Seva since before the pandemic and we were pleased to find that very little has changed. The vegan/vegetarian menu items are substantial and most would please even the most ardent carnivore. So if you want to accommodate a vegan/vegetarian companion without suffering, this is your place. As one would expect, the salads are creative and substantial, you can't go wrong here. One of my favorites is the Pad Thai, a typical Thai creation using tofu as the protein. The "breakfast all day" items are always good. On this Wednesday evening, the restaurant was only about a third full and the service as quick, pleasant and professional. We still miss the "funky" ambiance of the old downtown location (an old VFW hall) but he owners have done a credible job of simulating the atmosphere in a contemporary "white box" shopping center. All in all, this is a fine and solid choice for this type of food and we will return more regularly now that the pandemic seems to have abated sufficiently for normal life to resume.

Met some friends from the Onsted area here, it was a convenient easy-on-easy-off freeway location, and midway between of us. We all have differing food preferences and needs, from vegan to vegetarian to gluten-free, and we were all easily accommodated. FYI, the gluten-free menu isn't included on the regular menu so my friend had to ask for it. Seva is located in the Westgate strip mall which in itself is a bit unique. There are the typical strip mall type stores but also a library along with Seva. Even with just the front strip windows, the inside is quite bright, and the window front is decorated beautifully with tons of plants, vines, and bottles of liquor. Which is pretty smart because I didn't think they would sell liquor but found out that they have a full bar. One of my friends and I chose a vodka lavender lemondrop, another had a wine, and another had a non-alcoholic iced ginger spritzer. That lavender lemondrop was delicious! The house- made lavender simple syrup was perfect and the drink itself wasn't too sweet with just enough tang. I ordered the Enchiladas Calabasas which is a butternut squash burrito with cream cheese, green onions, and Chihuahua cheese served with a spicy tomato sauce that I got in the side. I didn't taste a whole lot of the cream cheese or the Chihuahua cheese, which I would have liked a little more of. I also ordered the avocado pasta salad to go for my lunch the next day, which included at least quarter, if not a half of an avocado, and was creamy and filling. They are still social distancing and filling to 50% capacity and they have a sign at the front stating that they, like everyone else are short-staffed and to please be patient. Our service was fine and no complaints at all in that regard. We were greeted with a smile and sent off with a well wish for a good rest of our night. Overall a pleasant dining experience.

Delicious every time - get the vegan burrito and get avocado on the side and when in season the orange cake or strawberry cake. I normally get takeout but decided to sit down and everything was amazing (the service, ambiance and food, ) only critique is it it's expensive but the occasional splurge in necessary

Overall, very good! We started with General Tso's cauliflower, which was a special. Cauliflower was cooked beautifully and was smooth. The crisp exterior and sauce was very good - and thankfully not as spiced as some restaurants make the Generals dishes. I had the Beyond Burger sandwich. I have had several meatless burgers but this was the closest in texture to actual ground beef - I am not vegan but wanted to mention the texture as it may be a bit creepy if you don't eat meat. Loved the grill marks and taste it gave the sandwich.

I've heard that Seva's was very good, so my boyfriend and I were itching to try it (despite not being vegetarian/vegan). Unfortunately, nothing we ordered really hit the spot. To start, we had the yam fries with spicy mayo - they were okay, but honestly, the sweet potato fries at Zingerman's Roadhouse right nearby are much better. Then, I ordered the pad thai (SO many rave reviews about this!) and was quite disappointed. It was okay, but not very authentic and the flavors were a little off. My boyfriend ordered the Beyond Burger, which was probably the best dish of the night. It had a nice smokey flavor, but definitely does not taste like beef despite the description. Overall, not terrible, but also nothing outstanding.

The vegan Cobb salad is the best salad I have ever had hands down. And not just for a Cobb salad but salad in general. Whenever I am in town I go and get two of them just so I can have them for the next few days. Big enough for two meals at least. Husband had the burrito which he said was good- but I'll stick to my salad I love. If this place was local for me I'd probably go at least once a week.

Great food. Have been to Seva's a couple of times. Pad Thai hit the spot, the Tempeh Rueben was fantastic and even my pickiest family member loved the vegan nacho dip. Only wish we would have tried this place sooner. :)

It's been a few years so I thought I'd update this baby. Luckily, I still really enjoy the whole Seva experience! From the delicious apps (gouda tots! General Tso cauliflower!) to the amazing entrees. I've been on a healthy eating kick lately so at our last meal here I went for the chickpea-spinach salad with grilled haloumi. The salad with a fresh mix of spinach, garbanzo-lemon salsa, avocado, cucumbers, tomatoes and sunflower seeds, with a roasted red pepper dressing. The grilled haloumi was a nice salty topping and alternative to faux meats that you usually find as an added protein. I can never say no to cheese! My husband got the tempeh reuben and as a general rule I'm not a huge fan of reubens, vegetarian or otherwise (I'm a bad Polish gal who doesn't much care for sauerkraut), but I took a bite of this one and it was quite tasty. And the yam fries? So good. I kept stealing them off my husband's plate. I also love their mocktails. I'm not dry but I've been finding lately that I've been preferring to stay away from the sauce and their non-alcoholic options are really lovely. Most recently I had the Golden Light which is carrot and orange juices mixed with coconut milk & turmeric. Not too sweet but refreshing! If you do want something a little stronger there are nice cocktails, wine options, and beers both bottled and on draft. Easy parking since it's in the Westgate shopping center. Don't let its strip mall status fool you. This is a tasty, healthy option for dining on the west side of the city!

Second time here for dinner in as many days. Half price drafts, wine and apps from 3 - 7 pm. Lots of healthy food options, which I look for when traveling (as I am again the week.). Heads up: happy hour at the bar and high tops only. Last night I had the blistered shishito peppers and the pad Thai. As delicious as advertised. Tonight, I'm thinking the cilantro peanut stir fry. Hmmmm. Oh, and having the shishito peppers again. Because the wine prices are great and the HH is daily, wine bottles are freshly opened each day so little worry about paying for a skunky glass o vino. I generally sit at restaurant bars for dinner when traveling. There's a kind of anonymity there without being conspicuously solo. Seva was no exception. Bartender Michelle paid close attention to drink and water levels without smothering. (Don't you love running into a professional barkeep who does what they do well and adds panache to the profession?) Regrettably not all the cities I frequent have a place like Seva. Looking for excuses to return.

Really good vegetarian food. it's in a strip mall but it's nice inside, and is run by dedicated people. However don't trust their gluten-free dishes if you are really sensitive. Really. Don't.

A hearty vegetarian place. It's really tasty, especially the black bean and sweet potato quesadilla. Note though that just because it's vegetarian it's not necessarily healthy. Lots of the food is deep fried, and the California tofu scramble I got was pretty greasy, both from the scramble portion and the potatoes which I think were deep fried (I can't imagine how else to get them that crispy!). The atmosphere inside is nice and cozy and I've had great service every time. I particularly love the stained glass on the front window!

I'm not a vegetarian, but I went here with someone who is. She was excited because she could choose from so many items. Most (maybe all) of the items could be made either vegan or vegetarian. The General Tso's fried cauliflower appetizer was very good even if it came out after our main course. I enjoyed my Veracruz (tortilla topped with beans, guacamole, tomatoes, and salsa verde) with an egg. My husband had the Michigan Cherry salad and enjoyed it. Our vegetarian friend had the Pad Thai and said it was very good.

I'm glad my friend picked up this place otherwise would have missed this awesome spot coz I'm a pure Non-vegetarian . Been here on Sunday night for dinner and the place was pretty busy but got a table with in 5 min. Ordered Cauliflower appetizer , Sandwich that comes with Yam fries and an Amazing Dip, Peanut sauce curry with rice and Homemade Ginger Lime tea which costed around 40$. Everything was Amazing especially the Yam fries ,Dip and Tea were the best. Pros: --------- Amazing Food Spacious Quick Service Friendly Staff Free Parking Lot of Food Options in the complex Serving Alcohol too Cons: -------- None This Place probably can turn you a vegetarian. Try at your own risk.

Yum. I love this place. The staff is amazing, full of quirky and wonderful individuals. The food is great, memorable, and inclusive - it is the kind of place anyone can order something that they will enjoy eating, even if they aren't vegetarian, or even if they have allergies or dietary restrictions. It's the kind of place a lot of my omnivorous friends have commented that they don't mind eating vegetarian at. It's the kind of place I, for one, am very happy to eat vegan at. Plus, it's right up the road from me, which is extremely convenient, and this location is WAY better than the previous location downtown. Parking is amazing, by comparison, and accessibility is greatly improved. I am so on board. During the week, they have a really neat evening Happy Hour that the lady and I have frequented. Discounted drinks and half price appetizers, and they always have at least one or two beers/ciders on draft that are good. Their appetizers, though, are more than good (like Tony the Tiger says, they're GRRREAT!) - those Yam Fries are divine; the General Tso Cauliflower I've heard tell is even better than its real-world chicken equivalent (I wouldn't know, but I know I like it better than the General Tso Tofu I get other places in A2); the Squash Queso was surprisingly good; etc. They've also got a great Sunday Brunch, breakfast and lunch options, sweet and savory options. I really enjoy their breakfast options because, as a vegan, there aren't many breakfast options I can get somewhere other than maybe a bagel or bowl of oatmeal. It's really refreshing and rewarding to be able to sit down to a hearty breakfast like anyone else. Both the Vegan Veracruz and Tofu California are amazing dishes! Om nom nom. They've also got good vegetarian options - regular cheese and eggs and whatnot, so if you're not into eating outright vegan you don't have to. High quality ingredients and attentive service make this a good establishment for anyone who enjoys the experience of eating out. Come check this place out if you haven't. Or don't - you can do whatever you want - but that's your loss. Thank you, Seva!

Slight redemption from my latest visit with Seva. While it did still take about 10 minutes for someone to show up and recognize we had been seated, our food and drink came out relatively fast afterward. Perhaps that's because we were ready to order all the things when they finally came to greet us..? I was sad to see the Vegan Breakfast was no longer on their brunch menu, but I tried their California Scramble which was just as delicious. Eggs scrambled with spinach, tomato and avocado and you get a size of roasted red potatoes and toast. Still wish the service would get better, but it was a better brunch spot to come on a busy Sunday afternoon since downtown Ann Arbor was a crowded mess with long waits every where.

HORRIBLE! Do NOT go to this restaurant! Mean, unfriendly, confrontational, aggressive and rude service! Please save yourself a trip and go to another restaurant in town. We will NEVER go to this restaurant again!

Ann Arbor vegetarians should go here! Detroit Filling station gets a lot of pub because it's downtown, but Seva is excellent! Went there on a Friday night with a party of four and had no wait. Very casual vibe and prompt service. One of us got the peanut stir fry and it had great flavor and lots of veggies. Two of us got the grilled veggies salad, which in addition to tasty veggies had nice sesame-seed coated goat cheese. I got the Pad Thai and it had nice big chunks off egg & tofu with good flavor. We got bruschetta for an appetizer and it came loaded with pesto, tapenade, and that same goat cheese. Fairly good beer selection too. Only real downside is that Seva is in a strip mall so it's not a pretty location and there's no outdoor seating. The bathroom was also a bit grungy.

Seva is hands down my favorite vegan restaurant in Michigan!!! It's got great vibe, great servers, great food for a great price! I went for the restaurant week today and lunch is $15 for two dishes, it's so inexpensive and the food is super delicious! The picture shows the amount of food that my bf and I ate in one setting. So you can probably tell that we have a huge appetite. But the portion size is a bit smaller than other restaurant with similar price range. I honestly don't care about portion sizes because I get to try different dishes in this case. I highly recommend the spicy sesame stir fry, the tahini sauce is to die for. And the mushroom burger is also yummy! I got vegan cheese for all the food, and it tastes just as good as regular cheese. The TLT sandwich wrap is also very nice! I am definitely coming back for things I haven't tried this time! Even if you're not vegan you should try this place out because you don't even feel like you're having vegan food. Every thing is super healthy and hearty and tasty. Can't recommend enough!

So to disclose first, I'm a person that attempts paleo/whole 30 eating on the regular, so I was hoping that my first time eating here would be a breeze. Correct!! I ordered a charbroiled salad and it was fantastic! It had charbroiled veggies (zucchini, onion, bell pepper), over mixed greens, pecans, and house vinegarette. The best part? ALMOND CHEESE. I don't know how but it was surely wow (yeah, I'm a bit cheesy....pun!). It was the taste and texture or something like feta. Regardless, it was beautiful tasting on my plate. I'm a cheese girl, and I miss it, so I appreciated every bite. The portion was big and the price was fair. The decorations were neat to look at, especially local art. Plenty of parking as it's in a small shopping plaza. I'm definitely going for their mac & cheese and desserts next time (you know, on my weekly food appreciation day).

So, I'm on my way to work in a minute, so I'll edit up a "real" review later, but just know this is the place to go in the area. Only a matter of time before this becomes a large chain (assuming they want that). Pad Thai is insane, Tso-liflower appetizer is great, the coffee is fantastic. --- So, for the real review... sparing you the backstory of why I was even in Ann Arbor in the first place, I will just say that coming here was a great choice. Vegetarian, vegan, omnivorous, or carnivorous-until-your-sudden-heart-attack-at-age-43, you'll find something you'll love here. My girlfriend and I ordered small: split the Tso cauliflower appetizer and each had an almond milk latte afterward. I also opted for an order of their vegan pad thai for the next day. The cauliflower was good, but could have pretty easily been great. The boiling (?) of the cauliflower before frying leads to a mushy interior, which isn't ideal. Thankfully, the breading was dope: very crispy. The sauce itself was nice and... Asian-y? What can I say. But, I wish the vinegar was toned back a bit/it was a little sweeter, and there was some spice. I expected some, but it never came. I know I analyzed that to pieces and made it sound awful, but I'd still score it a B. Would recommend, friend. The lattes were just lattes, but they weren't. They're served in pint glasses and look like they were nitro-nized. The tight bubbles on the top of the latte were mesmerizing, and the drinks themselves had ludicrously luscious (don't judge me too much for this next word) mouth feel. Spectacular. Plus, they were super reasonably priced. $4.50? No up-charge for non-dairy? Works for me. This review's getting a bit meaty... er, beety. But, the pad thai was probably the best I've ever had, which is the main reason I'm five-starring Seva. I'm not sure that I actually got a vegan order of it (unless their "eggs" are super realistic), but either way, dude! So awesome. Tasty all-around. All components were on point -- except one thing: no heat! I mean they have sriracha on the table so you can add-at-will, but a touch wouldn't hurt. That's a minor complaint. The amount of flavor in the dish is incredible, especially since the pad thai omits a pretty important ingredient in traditional pad thai... the fish sauce. TL;DR: Go. Plant-based is the future (like it or not), and Seva's damn near perfected it.

My favorite restaurant in Ann Arbor! I've been coming here for years and it never disappoints - best gluten-free food!

My boyfriend and I wanted to have vegan food. We didn't enjoy the food at all. It seems like they are trying to make different food from different cultures, but none of them seem making sense nor tasty. The portion is small, for a 5/6 pieces of potatoe tots it's $12. Our bill is $40 while my bf literally just had an appetizer since he can't find what he wants. My stir fry was blend, I would have better ones in an Asian restaurant and cheaper.
