Tucked away on a quiet street in Murray Hill, Ahimsa was a pleasant surprise in food and atmosphere. We’re not vegetarians and there were so many things we wanted to try. Great for gluten free diets. We had a bottle of wine, samosas, onion pakoras, alu gobi, naan bread and an enormous dosa filled with a delicious mushroom, potato and onion filling. The staff were so nice and accommodating!
The food was fresh and delicious. We only ordered appetizers garlic naan and Raita and were full. Generous appetizers. Ordered the Dry And Gobi Manchurian.
I would give Ahimsa more stars if I could! Rightfully named after the most important yogic principle, this vegetarian/vegan Indian restaurant is top-tier in quality & service. This evening I had the samosa appetizer which came with two delicious chutneys for dipping. For my entree I had the masala dosa, which was the best I’ve had outside of India. 10/10 would highly recommend, it is a healthy portion with a huge amount of bread, a big serving of sambar, coconut & tamarind (?) chutney. Stellar.
