Vegetarian restaurant playing a role of “eating wholesome food” in a complex that offers holistic services to support health and wellness
Getting off the bus after a 20 min ride from Niigata station, you will see the sea of Japan and abundant of nature. “Yoga spa” in which Havan dining is located, is a 2 min walk from the bus stop. You will easily find the place without getting lost as it is easily accessible though it is surrounded by nature. Yoga spa is a complex offering a variety of services such as natural therapies including yoga which is their main focus, supporting health and wellness. Yoga spa is build from wood which create a natural warm atmosphere, blending into the natural environment near the ocean and matching with its concept. Havan dining is on the 1st floor of the building.
It is very spacious inside the restaurant with warmth of wood and green interiors which makes great match with the environment outside. Double height ceiling and big windows create bright and airy atmosphere. There are different types of seating available such as counter and table seating, and private rooms to suit a variety of needs including individuals, groups and families. I was seated at a table near the window with views of the entrance of Nihonzan myouhouji across the street and trees surrounding the area.
A private room is available for rent with a surcharge of 500 yen per hour per person with a drink included.
Variety of authentic vegetarian food
Havan dining offers vegetarian dishes without using meat, fish and eggs, mainly cooked in an authentic Indian style. There are a variety of beautiful vegetarian dishes that are both enjoyable to look at and eat, created by experienced Indian chefs who used to work in an asylum where they provide vegetarian food. Lunch buffet include several types of curries, soup, salad, a la carte, desserts and freshly baked nann. On top of that you can eat all the tasty food as much as you like, this wholesome food cooked with beautiful spices are healthy and plant-based food without using animal products is very gentle on your stomach, so you can enjoy the healthy buffet feeling at ease. This buffet has a time limit, but they offer “curry plate day” (1st, 3rd, and 5th Tuesday every month) that comes with vegetarian curries, deep-fried side dishes, salad, rice, and freshly baked nann for those who wants to enjoy the authentic cuisine without worrying about time.
They also offer “microbiotic day” (2nd and 4th Tuesday every month) that comes with microbiotic dish and dessert. The day I was there for the interview happened to be microbiotic day, so I enjoyed a plate with a few side dishes, rice, soup and an apple tart. It may not be big enough portion for male and teenagers who need a large portion, but it was so soothing and satisfying for me since I enjoyed quite bit of Niigata sake the night before. You can help yourself to soup and drinks as many times as you like. They make you feel very warm from inside out. Apple tart was heavenly delicious yet not too rich, which makes microbiotic quite special and contribute to create comfortable feeling after the meal.
There are also special days available every month, including nann festival on the 1st of each month and South Indian cuisine day on the 21st of each month, so you will want to come back again and again. Havan dining ensures to provide ”fun, tasty, beautiful experience” all the time.
YOGA SPA not only offers delicious food but also inspiring experience

Especially in the spice section, you will be impressed with the wide variety of authentic spices and practical information provided. It is exciting even just to see it. You will get intrigued after experiencing such delicious dishes created with these spices.
There are yoga studio and Aryuvedic salon on the 2nd floor. This complex provides holistic services to support health and wellness for taking care of yourself from both inside and outside and make you feel inspired. If you are a local, you can come here as a part of your daily life to achieve holistic life, and if you come from a far, you can enjoy the rejuvenating experience and get a chance to take care of your body and mind.
