" My experience at Ahimsa was mostly positive. I loved the authentic taste of the food and how vibrant everything was. The vegetable curries were perfectly cooked with fresh ingredients that you could taste. However, I was a bit disappointed with the service speed, as it took longer than expected to get our orders. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, making it a good spot for family gatherings. I'll likely return with friends to share the experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was looking for a good vegetarian restaurant in NYC and Ahimsa exceeded my expectations! The flavors are so genuine and remind me of my grandma’s cooking back in India. Service was swift and friendly, which made the overall dining experience very pleasant. The ambiance is calm and peaceful — perfect for a date or quiet dinner. Highly recommend the garlic naan and paneer butter masala! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a treat to find this vegetarian restaurant! From the clean, warm atmosphere to the attentive staff, everything was commendable. I sampled a few appetizers that were bursting with authentic flavors. The only downside was that I found the curry too oily for my taste. Still, it’s a place worth trying for anyone who appreciates Indian food! " (*Curated Review*)

Will definitely recommend to anyone visiting NYC who craves authentic Indian cuisine! " (*Curated Review*)

" I initially stopped by Ahimsa for a quick bite, but I ended up staying longer than expected due to how much I enjoyed the food! The dishes showed a lot of creativity, yet stayed true to traditional Indian flavors. The only drawback was the price; it feels slightly on the higher side for the portion sizes. It’s still a great spot, and I’ll come back without a doubt! " (*Curated Review*)

" An evening at Ahimsa was particularly enjoyable! My palate found joy with the delightful range of vegan dishes offered, showcasing their commitment to vegetarian fare. The ambiance encouraged long conversations, although I felt a bit rushed to order. I’m enthused about returning and trying their seasonal menu offerings next time! " (*Curated Review*)
