Food and service were not the best but good enough for a random night restaurant pick. Enjoyed the chaat appetizer the most. read more

Came here on a Thursday for lunch with a friend. The outdoor seating area was pretty empty when we arrived. I got the masala dosa with mushrooms (4/5). the dosa was solid, and I wish it had even more mushrooms. Next time I'd also ask it to have a stronger kick. I would be down to come back to try more of their dosas and other dishes. The service was also nice, which was appreciated. read more

I have always done takeout from Ahimsa, so I cannot comment on the decor service and ambiance. I generally order vegetarian dishes which I fell are very expensive considering the portion ( received the same size container of rice) and everything else is a la carte. Most Indian restaurants provide you with small containers of cucumber yogurt. chutney, and some seeds. The bread was an add on as well. I will say the food I have ordered from Ahimsa has been consistently delicious and I am happy they are in my neighborhood. read more

This has to be the best in the end Restaurant I've been to in the city, Amazing food, and great service! We definitely come back. read more

Very nice Indian restaurant in NYC. Completely vegetarian and very vegan friendly (I am mostly vegan), the food was delicious and staff was kind. The atmosphere is calm so it is a nice place to go and have a conversation and taste Indian food. I have been there twice, tried the dosa and also their lunch special (sort of a Thali) and I liked them both. The masala dosa I would have cooked the potato filling a bit differently but that's just a matter of taste read more

I have eaten at this restaurant multiple times over the years. I went again today and order what I usaally have, medu vada and sada paper dosa. The food has changed. it used to be so good I could not get enough of it but today it was bland.... like it lacked salt and all round flavor. I hope its an off day. read more

We popped into Ahimsa at 3:00 pm on a Sat afternoon. We weren't even sure if they'd be open. Not only were they open, they made us some of the best Indian food we'd had all trip ... my friend is Indian so we eat it often. The service was great. Everything was clean. It was perfection. read more

I felt like Indian food for lunch the other day, and Ahimsa was close to my office so I decided to give it a try. The restaurant is nice looking with an open feel. They have a very large skylight that had shades on it. I'm sure it is very bright when open. They had a $12.99 "box lunch" special that I went for. It appears they change the offering daily. On that day they had aloo palak and dal. It also comes with rice and one roti. The food was flavorful and I really enjoyed it. I will come back. read more

It's so rare to find vegan Indian food, especially with a menu as large as Ahimsa offers! Delivery is always quick and the food is great, although a bit on the expensive side. I've only ordered delivery so not sure if it's different in the restaurant, but the appetizers and entrees often come in the same size container, which doesn't feel right, since you're paying like $12 for one and $20 for the other. I do wish they'd change that, but the food is so delicious, it's still worth it! read more

Brilliant ambiance and wonderful service. Food is superbly fresh and feels like a home cooked meal. We got the methi matar malai, aloo Gobi and the Bombay bhel. They were very accommodating to our requests and the service was great too. read more

I finally made it to Ahimsa after years of waiting and hearing fabulous reviews from family and friends! The ambiance and the service were great, but the food....the food was phenomonal! Every item was thoughtfully crafted and plated. It was an amazing experience and I can't wait to go back again. They have a wonderful variety of jain, vegan and gluten-free items that makes it easier to bring families with different dietary restriction. If you haven't already, you should totally give it a try! Dinal. read more

Good food for vegetarians! Good Variety with balanced spices . Recommended if you are in the area .

Ahimsa is such a lovely restaurant. The staff was so sweet, attentive and accommodating. We would come back for the service alone but, it also helps that the food is incredible. The menu is on a small iPad which has a search feature and seems fairly accessible. I ordered the Szechuan Noodles off of their Indo Chinese Section. It was incredible! My wife got my favorite dish, Malai Kofta. 10/10 would recommend! Love this place!!! read more

My family and dined here on 5/4. We had reservations for my a birthday party of 6. The service was horrible. There were only two unseasoned servers with a room packed of guests. By the time my husband's food finally came out after asking both servers twice the rest of us were done eating. To add to the experience the spice levels of his food were way too spicy (he order mild) after 27 minutes of waiting for it ( were Indian so we understand spice levels) Many items were forgotten such as the naan and two portions of rice. Coming from the f&b world I can give a lot of leniency when it's a full house on a Saturday afternoon but there was no sense of urgency or apologies. We felt like we were bothering the servers by asking for our food. My mother in law was looking forward to coming here for a while and unfortunately it wasn't the celebration we hoped for. read more

So much fun. We were looking for a dosa and found an amazing place. The servers were great. The food did not disappoint. We shared 2 dosas (marsala and spinach) plus some pakora and a samosa. Just perfect sauces, flavors and atmosphere. Definitely there will be a return trip when next in NYC! Check this place out!!! read more

South Indian food is a sentiment. But dating a South Indian boy and now being married to him, I've had enough South Indian food to be a connoisseur of the cuisine. After trying almost all the South Indian restaurants, I can say Ahimsa Garden is one of my top 3 favorites South Indian restaurants. We got the Masala idli which is a must have, the Medu Vada with sambar which I won't translate for you, just order this and you won't regret. For the mains, we got the Paneer bhurji (scramble cottage cheese) Dosa. Their chutneys are the best especially the orange one. Highly recommend! read more

This was a complete miss. The pav bhaji was extremely spicy even tho we asked them if they can make it mild and they said yes. It also had thick chopped veggies in it, which is not consistent with how pav bhaji is made. The masala dosa was ok. The aloo paratha had barely any filling at all. I wouldn't go back here. read more

Worst service I have ever had in a restaurant. Came at around 8:00pm on a Friday and it wasn't as busy as I was expecting. My partner and I had waited 35 minutes on only 2 items before we decided to just leave. No waiter ever arrived to check up or offer anything. The couple to next to us arrived at the same time and had left and gone way before us. Such a ridiculous experience, you're much better off supporting another location. read more

We came here based on a recommendation to try their dosa and ultimately settled on trying the mysore masala dosa, which was billed as spicy and filled with potatoes. It honestly wasn't spicy at all, but was still delicious, and we quickly devoured it along with the three chutneys and lentil soup dips. The best part of the meal was the baigan bartha. It had a lovely smoky flavor. The most forgettable thing was a paneer appetizer that I can't even find on their online menu. It consisted of paneer served on a bed of cold bell pepper and onion pieces in a spicy, slightly sweet sauce. Overall, I'd definitely come back here, but Adyar Ananda Bhavan is still my favorite dosa spot in the city! read more

Very good vegetarian Indian food. We would go back. Great service also. My favorite was the chili cheese naan bread!

Walked over here on a Sunday early afternoon for a low-key sit down lunch. Seating outside shielded the wind fairly well, so opted to get a table for two out there. Decided on the Gobi Manchurian ($11) to start - a large plate of well fried cauliflower pieces marinated in a tangy sauce. Spice level could have been higher, but the flavor and crispiness were fantastic. For the main course, ordered the Kadai Paneer Masala ($16) - a hearty curry with paneer, onions, tomatoes and a good kick of spice. I like that the dish comes with rice, as to have a vehicle to eat the curry. Service here is solid despite only one guy working the tables. Lots of options to come for multiple trips. read more

Oh wow. We ordered delivery from this place and it was spectacular. The pav bhaji was completely on point. Flavorful and spicy. The Samosa trot is probably the best Samosa I've ever had and I have tried a lot. The spice level was perfect the combination of Samosa to chat was perfect, it was almost unbelievably good. I also had the pani puri which was a very good. More than enough stuff for the Puris. I hate when you run out. . This is definitely a place I will re-order from. I wish they were in Chelsea or Hudson yards or the village!!!! read more

Ahimsa provided an exceptional dining experience for my extended family. We had strict Jains and vegans in the group which can be difficult at most restaurants. The Ahimsa menu offered them plenty of choices and the servers took time to understand their exact needs. We ordered various appetizers and entrées, and every one of them turned out to be fresh and delicious. The desserts like raspberry chocolate cake, and carrot cheesecake were decadent, and falooda was rich beyond description. The ambiance is warm and friendly. You do not feel crowded or rushed at Ahimsa. Best choice for me when I come to NYC again. read more

Excellent Chilli Garlic Soy chaap(reend mild or medium spicy if you can't take spicy food) and good pani poori, though the tamarind chutney could be better(too much sugar and not enough tamarind and dates), otherwise excellent. read more

Food is pretty good and also seemed on the simpler healthier side which I liked. Ambience was also nice. Although service was a bit slow read more

We made a weekend lunch reservation for and came with a large group (16 people). The restaurant was very accommodating and friendly, as the group came in multiple waves. The food was excellent, with various options for everyone in our group, including Jain options. We ordered both north and south Indian food. The staff was helpful too. Highly recommended read more

The food was average.. service was good as the place was not crowded and ours was the only table.. ambience was calm also the music was low and soothing .. isn't a place to worth the hype .. wouldn't be coming back here as everything was average !! read more

Warm welcome. Nice ambiance. Gobi Manchurian was ok ... fried a bit too much & flavor was okay. Portion was really small for the price. Palak Paneer & Malai Kofta were both tasty & we enjoyed the garlic naan & plain naan too. Over all it's a bit pricey. Service was good. read more

If you are looking for great Indian food, look no further. This is a unique restaurant and has items other don't like Kati rolls. As a vegetarian I was in heaven! I had a tofu curry and the samosas. We have the Indian coffee and it's intense and strongly recommend. Food tried: two different tofu curries, samosas, different breads including garlic naan, Indian coffee and chai. read more

Incredible vegetarian restaurant. So tasty and thoughtful. We would return in a heartbeat.

Delicious Chai, inviting ambience, great service, and lots of vegan options. Dining there feels like a peaceful, warm getaway. So glad I stumbled upon this restaurant and will be back! read more

I ordered dinner from here along with TWO Coconut Rice Puddings (Vegan) at 7.00 dollars each. There was NO rice and it was very watery and overly sweet. The flecks in the "pudding" are coconut. That's it. A waste of money as my mother and I found this to be inedible. I have no idea how they could serve this and call this rice pudding with out any rice in the dessert. Also, the chickpeas in the Chana Masala dish I ordered were hard due to being undercooked. read more
