" I had a fantastic meal at Ahimsa last night! From the masala dosa to the various curries, everything was truly delightful, embodying the essence of Indian cuisine. The staff was courteous, although a bit slow at times. The restaurant had a relaxed vibe that allowed us to enjoy our meal for longer. I would recommend this spot to anyone looking for an authentic Indian dining experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve been to Ahimsa multiple times and love the consistency in their dishes. The flavors are rich and vibrant, making each visit enjoyable. I believe that they have great value for the quality offered. My only wish is that they could speed up the service slightly during peak hours. But for anyone searching for authentic Indian flavors in NYC, this is your spot! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a delightful time at Ahimsa the other evening! There’s something quite charming about an all-vegetarian Indian restaurant. I particularly enjoyed the bhindi masala and the malai kofta. Cleanliness was a notable feature that I appreciated. Still, I felt the service could use a bit of speed. I will be back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" Overall, Ahimsa was a good experience! The food was delightful, with rich flavors that brought me back to India. I particularly loved the garlic naan and the masala chai; definitely a combo to try. The service wasn’t as quick as I expected, but they were very friendly. I’ll give them another go! " (*Curated Review*)

" Ahimsa is a charming little spot! I visited after a long day of sightseeing and it was truly a delightful experience. I had the masala dosa which was crispy and perfectly spiced. My only gripe would be that I found the spice level to vary quite a bit. The ambiance was comforting and the staff was incredibly attentive. I would definitely recommend this place for authentic vegetarian Indian food. " (*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*)
