Nevedya is Food for the Spirit, an organic plant-focussed restaurant & cafe in the Dandenong Ranges outside Melbourne. We serve wholefood vegetarian and vegan world cuisine with flavours from India, Asia, the Middle East, Europe and beyond. Our ingredients are healthy, ethical, organic, seasonal and showcase produce from local farms and growers.
Many customers of Nevedya have said that their meal was the best experience of their life, so we can safely say that we are amongst some of the best food and restaurants in the Dandenong Ranges!
Run by husband and wife duo Daniel and Shakti, it is an experience to bring you back to your true self. The food is a cleansing experience of reconnecting to nourishment at its untainted roots.
All the food is designed and created by female head chef Shakti Iyer with intention to nurture, transform and heal.
Inspired by Indian restaurants, Ayurveda and our travels throughout the world expect to taste our famous Ayurvedic khichadi, Sri Lankan masala dosa, world fusion tapas, plant-based all day breakfasts and our amazing organic and healthy desserts!
Nevedya is situated only 7 minutes from the iconic town of Belgrave with its famous Puffing Billy train in the Dandenong Ranges. The space of Nevedya is a full spectrum sensory experience. There are beautiful aromas to greet you, specially curated music, with art and beauty all around.
The interior is designed by head chef Shakti and wood artist Yanni Rigos. There are a variety of different and unique seating experiences from the Arabic style comfy floor seating booths, to the magnificent Californian redwood communal table, to the dog friendly outdoor heated deck set amongst our beautiful permaculture garden.
We are located in the magnificent Dandenong Ranges just under an hour from Melbourne. Spectacular nature abounds with cool rainforest walks, quaint towns and alternative vibes.
