A little disappointed - Edit
The first time I came here, I got the cheesesteak and it was really good. This time, I got the bbq drumsticks, french dipper, and mac and cheese. The french dipper was very good, but the fries it came with didn't have much flavor and seemed overcooked. It seemed to me like the oil may not have been at the optimal temperature. The bbq drumsticks came with mashed potatoes and vegetables, all of which were decent, but the vegetables didn't have much flavor (but I didn't really mind this because I like the taste of the vegetables themselves). The mac and cheese was the most disappointing. It reminded me of daiya mac and cheese, but with less flavor. The mac and cheese we got looked different from the pictures we saw online, so I'm not sure if they changed the recipe. I would go back to try some of the other items, but I'm disappointed this visit wasn't as good as the last one.

best vegan food in new jersey! - Edit
love love love this place! finding vegan and gluten free food in nj is pretty difficult but the options at this place are so good so it’s pretty much the only place my husband and i go to. i’ve tried a few things but my favorites are the tempeh reuben and the grilled tofu steak with *the best* mashed potatoes. the portions are pretty decent also, every time i order the tofu steak i have enough left over for another meal. i wish they had some more gluten free options but what they do have is really great!
Read morePros: big portions, friendly staff, mashed potatoes
Cons: not as many gf options as i’d like, some things are a little pricey, fries aren’t gluten free :(

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.

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.
