Our Story

Since 1985, Tirlok Malik has been bringing India to New York through food and movies. He started actively working in the wellness field in 1998 upon founding his restaurant Ayurveda Cafe on the Upper West Side of Manhattan.

For 20 years, the team of Ayurveda Cafe has been sharing the benefits of Ayurveda with NYC. Ayurveda Cafe is a place of balance dedicated to health and well-being and highly acclaimed by the media.
The Ayurveda Cafe also had an Ayurveda Center on the Upper West Side for 15 years, but they feel that Ayurveda treatments are best in Kerala, the home of Ayurveda. 
The team of Ayurveda Cafe now invites you to experience India through our Ayurveda Spa Retreat. Ayurveda is a gift from India for your health. 
 
Ayurveda Wellness Tours (AWT) invites you to discover and experience the benefits of Ayurveda for your health and happiness.
Our team includes Ayurveda doctors, massage therapists, holistic practitioners, Ayurveda spas, Ayurveda medical centers, travel tour experts, and others.
We also partner with Creations Magazine, a holistic publication based in Long Island, New York. 
Our mission is to share with you the knowledge and experience of Ayurveda, which can make your life healthier and happier.
