## Why We Like It

You won’t miss the meat at Ahimsa, a vegetarian Indian spot where the flavors speak for themselves. The idli soaked in sambar soup should definitely be on your table.

## Need to Know

Walk-ins are welcome but reservations are recommended

## About Ahimsa

Grandma's stories always smelled like warm, spicy aromas. The clatter of pots and the murmur of her voice filled the kitchen with a magic that nourished more than just our bodies. Ahimsa, meaning not harm, captures that feeling. We use fresh, natural ingredients to recreate those comforting flavors, the kind passed down through generations in Indian families. It's a taste of home, a warm hug on a cold day. We believe food should be for everyone, so we offer delicious plant-based and Jain food options in New York City. Let Ahimsa nourish your soul with a taste of India, made with love and a sprinkle of grandma's magic.

We are also Kosher!
