Good place for digital nomads - Edit
I had a chickpea omelette filled with avocado, spinach & mushrooms. With stable WiFi connection, good vegan food, this place stands out perfectly for digital namads to work on a project or whoever wants to have a relaxing zen -like afternoon. I enjoyed every minute of my time there.

A Hidden Vegan Garden - Edit
Seva is a completely vegan haven that I've known for many years. It feels like stepping into a charming house garden, providing a unique experience where you can be barefoot and connect with nature right in the heart of the city. The ambiance is serene, and the music often reminds me of shamanic organic tunes, enhancing the overall vibe.
Read moreIt also has a shop that offers a variety of cool items, perfect for finding unique treasures.
When it comes to the food, I highly recommend the healing soup! My favorite dish has to be the Lion's Mane Shistawook, which is sooo yummy. The tacos are also a tasty option worth trying. Don’t miss out on the Mystic Mushroom smoothie and the Banoffee Pie; they are absolute must-haves!
Overall, Seva is more than just a restaurant; it's a holistic experience that embraces nature, good music, and delicious vegan food.
Pros: Lions mane shishtawook, Garden, Music

Small but tasty portions - Edit
Nice concept, tasty food, but portions could be larger. Also too warm outside if sitting with no fan, since some tables still don’t have any fans.

Pretty Good - Edit
Nice atmosphere and the food was pretty good. Nothing too revolutionary, but a solid meal. Friendly staff too. A bit expensive but I would still recommend.

Creative vegan food, not just to tick the box - Edit
I've been to Seva many times over the years, but the last time was probably well over a year. Was pleased to see they've changed the menu as the last one was very limited. I went on a Friday and it had a nice vibe and was fairly busy. I also had a sound meditation session after lunch which is much recommended!
Read moreI had the tofu dynamite, which was very good. The mystic mushroom cacao drink was also amazing, and the parpadelle zucchini pesto which was average (sauce was amazing, it just wasn't what I expected).
Definitely recommended.
Pros: Creative menu, including drinks , The setting and vibe, Staff were super friendly

Sanctuary Atmosphere - Edit
Loved the environment.
Read moreI got the dynamite tofu, very saucy soft tofu bites. The cheesy potatoes were super flavorful. Quite salty on their own.
And the soup which was subtle taste.
Kinda expensive but such a unique sanctuary in Dubai.
Pros: Organic vegan , Atmosphere and naturesque , Walking distance to where I was staying
Cons: Pricey

Oasis - Edit
A bit difficult to find as it is down a small side road. But an oasis of plant based food when you do! Great range of vegan food, though I only had a cake and green tea as it was mid-afternoon.

Great Ambience and Cats - Edit
Probably our favourite vegan place to visit on the city. It has lovely chilled vibes with selection of outdoor and indoor seating including low level tables with cushions on the ground. Food was tasty and very similar to what we’d cook at home. The portions were generous with starters big enough for mains for us. Many staff and all attentive. Two adorable kittens basking I the sun.
Read moreAtmosphere was very Central American jungle chill out. We used to live in Costa Rica and somehow felt at home in the middle of Dubai. It was such a peaceful break from the normal pace of Dubai.

Incredible - Edit
So this reminds me of the book by Marc David “Nourishing Wisdom “ not only is the food incredible but so is the atmosphere… a little on the expensive side but totally worth it … you can’t be there and not feel totally content and joyful… a place that definitely should be experienced by plant eaters and non plant eaters alike 🙏

Delectable - Edit
Came to Seva as it was recommended to me and close to my accommodation. Upon arrival, I was told there was an event happening on the inside and that I would need to dine outside 🥵. Luckily they were able to place me right in front of a big fan so I stayed cool. I ordered the eggless omelette, superfood salad, and the snickers cake. The salad was probably my favorite. It was fresh and exactly what was needed for a 35 degree day. The eggless omelette was good as well. The dessert was heavenly and I would have loved to have an entire cake made. Lots of healthy options on the menu. Definitely worth visiting here when in Dubai.

Hospitality at It’s Finest - Edit
Having seen the outstanding reviews, I was desperate to come here and I was specifically in search of the High Tea. When I arrived, I was first struck by how stunning it was; it truly is an oasis in the heart of the city. The second thing that grabbed my attention was how welcoming the staff were, I immediately felt at ease and looked forward to my dining experience. Once seated, I informed my server that I was there for the aforementioned special to which they replied that it needed to booked at least two days in advance. Having not been made aware of this when making inquiries, and subsequently booking, I was slightly taken aback. After some conversations with the kitchen, I was approached by the manager, Meri, who explained that it wouldn’t be feasible to prepare the meal at this time. Understandably, I was disappointed, but I appreciated the effort that the whole team went through on my behalf. However, that wasn’t the end of it! Having mentioned that I had made the trip especially from Abu Dhabi for this offer, Meri insisted on offering a complimentary meal. I was blown away by this generosity and dutifully selected the jackfruit burger, an iced latte with house-made hazelnut milk, and a slice of banoffee pie (the latter of which I insisted on buying, but it was to no avail). Everything I had was of the highest quality, the banoffee pie in particular was outstanding.
Read moreThe food alone was reason enough for me to return, but the kindness and hospitality shown during my visit means that this will definitely become a regular haunt.

GMO free gluten free vegan restaurant with an impressive menu! - Edit
They do a great job at starting the relaxing experience the moment you find the restaurant! Passing the entrance you walk into a tropical spa like reception which opens to the restaurant's outdoor seating area, a few friendly cats and low shaded floor seating. At the end of the walkway, tucked behind floor to ceiling glass windows is a boho rustic lounge with a service bar, bookshelves full of books, comfortable leather loungers as well as tables and seats with rustic design.
Read morePros: Extremely big menu for gluten & gmo free, Colorful, fresh tasting dishes & insane desserts, Very warm service & relaxed boho ambiance
Cons: The macrobiotic mushroom soup tasted very bad

A neat little spot to relax - Edit
This is a cool little place to eat, relax and chill out. The menu is not very large, but sufficient. I got the burger and the ceviche. The burger is a house made patty with lettuce, tomato, pickle and “cheese” sauce. It’s more knife and fork than a handheld. The ceviche is what I would call a chunky salsa, rather than ceviche. If they spiced it up a bit and added a lot more lime, it would be closer to ceviche. In any case, it’s a good chunky salsa.
