ABOUT
Welcome to Divya’s
Divya’s is on a mission to help people find joy, nourishment and balance through food. Based in Ayurvedic principles and cooking techniques, Divya’s includes culinary education, a suite of good-for-you packaged foods, a plant-based restaurant in New York City, and a series of best-selling cookbooks written by founder and executive chef Divya Alter.
Our Story
Divya’s began in 2009, when Chef Divya Alter and her husband Prentiss founded Bhagavat Life, where they offered seasonal cooking classes rooted in the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda. In 2015, they expanded their offerings to include America’s first Ayurvedic culinary training program.
Inspired by the overwhelming success of their classes, and the growing popularity of Ayurveda in America, in 2016 they opened Divya’s Kitchen, a full-service restaurant in Manhattan’s lower east side neighborhood. A year later Divya published her first, now best-selling cookbook What to Eat for How You Feel along with introducing their new line of good-for-you packaged foods.
Divya’s Kitchen
At Divya’s Kitchen, our plant-based restaurant in New York’s lower east side, we create food for those who cherish real, vibrant flavors, made beautiful through five simple ideas: how food tastes, feels, acts, transforms, and heals. By applying Ayurvedic principles to the world’s great cuisines, we offer meals that are delicious, balancing and designed to help you feel your best.
