Located on 66 E Forest Ave, Detroit, Seva is a great place to stop at when downtown. They have indoor and outdoor seating, so there is plenty of room for all customers. The restaurant is vegetarian and vegan friendly and offers a wide variety of fresh food and the prices are quite reasonable and the food is absolutely amazing.

The portions are big, but not too big where customers aren’t able to finish them. Some dishes include the Baked Mac & Cheese, the Grilled Pesto Pizza Sandwich where it can be made vegan, Black Bean & Sweet Potato Quesadilla, and many more. Luckily, with many of the dishes, they are served with fries and the yam and sweet potato fries are a must.

The atmosphere is relaxed and inviting and will make anyone come back another time. The only downside with amazing food is the service can be a little slow, but I assure you that you will be happy with the food after the wait.
