Anixi

Unclaimed

This was my first time here. I came on a Saturday afternoon with a small party. It was quiet, intimate and pleasant. The service and food were both phenomenal. I have strict dietary restrictions (lentils, soy, corn, oat, gluten etc) and the restaurant was wholly prepared and dedicated to serving me items I could eat. It was well organized, the best I’ve ever encountered. I was impressed. The food was so good. Do not sleep on those Salmon appetizers (coming from a non salmon person). If you haven’t tried prickly pear before, you’re missing out. Definitely get the mocktail, it was delicious. Be prepared to spend money though, it adds up quickly.

Absolutely amazing food! I don’t always love eggplant dip but adore theirs! In fact, every dip they make is luscious and particularly loved the mushroom kebabs. I’ve been twice now and loved it even more the second time. This last visit, sadly, our group of six had to rush a bit since we were there for a pre theater dinner. We were a mix of vegan or vegetarian and non veg, but we ALL tremendously enjoyed the food, desserts, cocktails, and presentation. The atmosphere was lively (noisy but not too awful), and the main dining room is gorgeous. We sat at a large booth in the back. Highly recommend for veg and non veg dining.

Dinner at Anixi was a great atmosphere, and we were very pleased that they were open on Christmas day when we arrived in NYC. The smoked salmon was fascinating and delicious - definitely never had anything like that at a vegan restaurant. Both the chicken skewers and taquitos were great as well. Honestly I've never had vegan chicken that was that realistic - so props for that. I do wish the menu had more healthy dishes to go with the mock meats. It's not exactly my type of restaurant for that reason, but if I had a non-vegan friend I wanted to impress, this would be a smart choice. I'm giving it 5 stars because for what it is, it is really outstanding and I haven't had anything that convincingly meat-like in my 7 years as a vegan.

I am not vegan but Wow! Definitely, impressed with the food. It was delicious. We were a fairly decent group who had one person allergic to nuts. She was impressed with having options and how our server made great suggestions for the appetizers. Definitely, looking forward to coming back. We were celebrating our vegan girlfriend birthday and the rest were meat lovers... willing to come back.

Our first time dining here. Tried three dips with zatar pita: fava bean, taramasalata, Roasted eggplant with pomegranate seeds. All good, but the eggplant was our favorite. Chicken and lamb kebabs were really tasty, but the highlight for me was the incredible chocolate and date Dessert with ice cream!! Decadent treat. We absolutely loved the ambience of the restaurant, and the service was great too. Highly recommend, and cannot wait to come back next time we visit the city!
