Seva Cuisine of India is a family-run, scratch-cooking North Indian restaurant in the Flintlock area on the Liberty edge of Kansas City’s Northland, open since 2012 and named for the Sanskrit word seva — “to serve.”

Description

Seva Cuisine of India serves scratch-made North Indian fare from a strip-center storefront in the Flintlock area, on the Northland edge near Liberty.1 The menu honors centuries-old cooking traditions and runs from tandoor oven-roasted meats and traditional curries to freshly baked breads and biryani, alongside a deep vegetarian section — vegetable korma, paneer masala, gobi Manchurian, and lentil dal.2 The kitchen offers vegan, vegetarian, Halal, and gluten-free options.3 The restaurant’s name comes from the Sanskrit word seva, meaning “to serve, to wait upon, honor or worship,” a philosophy the owner translates into attentive service.1

Ownership and history

Seva Cuisine of India was opened in 2012 by restaurateur Gurdev Singh.1 The restaurant is a family affair: Singh, his wife Kuldip, and members of both families serve, cook, and run dishes.2 Singh is credited with keeping the food fresh both ingredient-wise and trend-wise, including using no dyes in the tandoori chicken.2 (Some local coverage refers to a Gurdev who previously worked as a Kansas City health inspector; the relationship between that detail and the principal owner is not fully clear from public sources.)
