Simply the best!!! - Edit
Kaya’s kitchen was the first place I tried when I went vegan over 10 years ago and I’ve been hooked ever since! I love their Mac & cheese, French onion soup & Hungarian perogies. A vegan MUST try place!

Rocky Mountain Stew 10/10 - Edit
Kaya’s never disappoints. My go-to order was Miso Soup, Salad, Buffalo Tempeh…until I tried the Rocky Mountain Stew! The Rocky Mountain Stew is so flavorful and filling. If you are portion controlling, you will have left overs (if you can stop yourself from eating it all)!!!
Read morePros: Pick up order always hot, Ingredients , Great variety

Best vegan restaurant on the shore - Edit
This might be the best restaurant on the Jersey Shore. Friendly staff and wide selection of vegan food. The portions are very big. We tried the Kaya’s Combo and the quesadilla. 10/10

Fantastic - Edit
All vegan menu. Food was absolutely delicious. I got the seitan steak and my bf got the tempeh and seitan buffalo wings. We also had the bbq seitan ribs for an appetizer and we loved all of it. We sat outside and was attended to constantly. The kitchen was very busy with orders so they warned us the food may take a little longer but we didn't mind and it was well worth the wait. We had their local coffee after our meal which was very tasty as well. The service was great and our server gave us coffee on the house when she learned that it was my birthday which was very sweet. Whenever I am in the area I will definitely be back! Highly highly recommend.

Always mmm - Edit
Everything I get from Kaya’s is always delicious. My faves are the Soul Seitan and gyro. I mostly order takeout, but the restaurant service is friendly and quick whenever we dine in. This is a great place for vegans and non-vegans alike, as there is a huge menu with plenty of delicious options.

Extensive menu - Edit
We ate at Kaya's Kitchen while visiting NJ and had a great experience. Very nice atmosphere with a very extensive menu and a lot of variety. We were with a group who tried a number of different dishes which were all delicious. The only one not loved was the Mac & cheese because it tasted sweet rather than savory. We'll definitely be back on our next visit!

Home run! - Edit
Go here! Extensive all-vegan menu with great variety. We had the Turkish Delight appetizer, house salads (big!), Rocky Mountain Stew (beautiful veggies in brown gravy over mashed potatoes -ultimate comfort food) and Golden Temple (hubby said it was delicious- veggies in peanut sauce over brown rice). We had to box up most of the entrees because we were stuffed. Took home a yummy tiramisu, too.
Read moreThe restaurant has a great vibe and eclectic decor. Our server, Angie, was friendly and helpful. We could hear the cooks in the kitchen laughing and having a good time. It was a perfect stop on a drizzly day. Wish we were visiting longer!
Pros: Awesome menu variety , Friendly service, Great vibe

Fresh and Flavorful - Edit
I love the options!! So many grey selections on the menu. It is also great if you are bringing someone who is not vegan, as they have many “meat replacement” options. However, I was blown away by the Coconut Pineapple Curry and the Buddha Bowl. Both were amazing and focused on the flavors of the foods. So great! We will definitely be going back soon.
Read morePros: Lots of choices, Meat replacement options for non-vegans, Great service

Favorite Place to Eat - Edit
I love everything about this place. The beautiful decor, the fire staff and the food is sooo good! I make sure to visit each time I’m in the area. This time, I tried the guacamole and chips (the chips were served warm!), the Philly cheesesteak and the coffee crumb cake. 10/10, I recommend this place to everyone. Especially if you are considering transitioning to vegan.

Vegan Comfort Food at Its Best - Edit
I have been to Kaya's multiple times over the years and always enjoyed it, but my last trip here this spring was the best so far. I ordered the French onion soup, something I haven't had in years, and it did not disappoint. My husband got the Italian sub, a special that day and was very pleased with it. My daughter's Impossible Cheeseburger was delicious, but they have a black bean option if fake meat isn't your thing. The sub and burger both came with tasty fries and ketchup. My son loved his french toast with home fries. It was a diner-style breakfast, and they serve breakfast until 2pm. We split some kombuchas that were very good as well. The booths were very cozy and family-friendly.
Read moreMy only regret is that as I was leaving, the table next to us got their pizza that looked like it was from the old-school pizzerias of my youth. Next time, I will be getting the pizza.
Pros: Lovely staff, Family-friendly, Lots of choices on the menu

Eh - Edit
I had the black bean burger and my partner had the lentil burger. Very good! You need to order more condiments since it doesn’t come with any. I believe the ketchup was complimentary. Would’ve been quite dry without ketchup and the tahini sauce I ordered. The side veggies to compliment the burger are extremely crisp fresh!

Tons of Great Options 🌞 - Edit
The Kaya’s Combo (Appetizer) is a great way to try several different mock-meats and a little potato salad too. I also took a chance on the Eggplant Pesto sandwich which was pretty good although I wouldn’t cut anyone off from ordering to recommend it. Their desserts looked great and the Strawberry Crumb Donut was delicious.
