Ahimsa

Unclaimed

Gluten free vegan options! Was stuck in the city alone so I came here. I got my samosa fix and it was lovely and fresh. Also sometimes dosas are not made authentically but these are deliciously perfect. The ceiling window is gorgeous. Really good for peaceful lunch. They have a bar and such in the front but dining in the back is where its at.

I recently dined at Ahimsa in New York, eager to explore their vegetarian offerings. My meal featured Dabeli, Misal Pav, Set Dosa, Tamarind Rice, and Aloo Tikki, each with its own distinct flavor. The Dabeli was a delightful surprise—a well-balanced mix of spicy mashed potatoes, peanuts, pomegranate, and chutneys stuffed inside a soft pav. The blend of sweetness and spice made every bite exciting. The Misal Pav had the perfect level of heat, with a flavorful sprouted bean curry complemented by crispy farsan toppings. The accompanying pav was fresh and warm, ideal for soaking up the rich, spicy gravy. The Set Dosa was light and fluffy, served with coconut chutney and sambar. The texture was just right—soft yet slightly crisp on the edges. It felt wholesome and comforting. The Tamarind Rice was a standout in simplicity and taste. The tangy tamarind flavor, paired with roasted peanuts and spices, gave it a beautiful depth. It was both satisfying and refreshing. The Aloo Tikki was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, bursting with bold spices. Served with tangy chutneys, it had the perfect crunch and balance of flavors that made it a must-try. Beyond the food, the service was warm and attentive and the ambiance was clean and peaceful. Whether you’re craving street food or South Indian flavors, Ahimsa delivers an authentic and enjoyable experience. Definitely a place worth revisiting! It was my son's birthday and we enjoyed the different dishes from India very much..

Offers unique dishes that are not commonly found in most Indian restaurants! Particularly loved the vada (savory lentil flour doughnut) and idli (rice cake) in sambar soup. Everything else was good too and appreciated the staff triple checking with the kitchen on dietary restrictions. Highly recommend!
