The best gf pasta and italian bread, wonderful service

Anixi is a creative and modern twist on traditional Mediterranean food. My friend and I shared a bunch of sides. Standout dishes were the preserved lemon cured tuna with black seaweed caviar and the taramasalata. Granted, the dishes did not quite taste like their non-vegan counterparts, but major kudos for creativity and invention! The tuna was made with tomato, the caviar with seaweed, and the taramasalata with coconut. I also ordered the Mujadara (a rice and lentil dish) which was a bit salty for my liking. My friend reports that her chicken dish tasted just like chicken! Overall, a great dining experience. The restaurant also took great care with my gluten allergy (celiac).

Very nice place. A few gluten free pasta options that are delicious.

I want to like this place so bad, but I’m just unsure. I’ve been here three times, once for lunch and twice for takeout. Let’s start with the good: it’s close to my apartment, they have good gluten free options and seem to be knowledgeable, and when the food is right it boarders on good/fine but I’ve had better. I usually get the plantain, bean, avo arepa and it’s different every time. It’s kinda bland if I’m being honest, and the most recent time I had it, there were no brands but severely undercooked mushrooms. This place is also VERY overpriced. Especially their weekend brunch which I accidentally stumbled in on. The wait time is also always outrageous.

I ordered the empanada and gluten free sandwich, both were deep fried and soaking in oil it was impossible to eat and not get sick. Why do you turn healthy food into something terrible?

Skyler Fortgang

Awesome spot - gluten free buns available!

wonderful restaurant! our server was so sweet and attentive and the food was to die for. both my friend and are are gluten free (celiac) and the menu labeled all dishes that were ‘GF’. I had the short ribs and the flan and WOW. I will definitely be back!

Great diner - loved it for all day breakfast and lunch. Gluten free pancakes were amazing. Friendly - would highly recommend.

I absolutely hate to leave low reviews but the experience that I had at Tao was just not what you’d expect for the caliber of the restaurant of this type. Starting off, I will say the food is really good! And the vibes were amazing. From the decor, to the music, to the atmosphere—it was all great for a Thursday dinner with my girlfriend. As amazing as the vibes were as well as the food—the service was ABSOLUTELY lacking. We went for a dinner and it was NOT a busy night AT ALL. You could see 2/3 servers just standing around at all time that day. Starting off our server didn’t seem like she was trained at all with the menu and service. My girlfriend has a gluten allergy and it made ordering extremely difficult with the server because she had absolutely no idea what was gluten free at all so every single dish that we ordered she ran back to the kitchen to ask and then took forever to come back to double check with us. So that made ordering extremely difficult and took absolutely forever due to the back and forth that she went from the kitchen to us. When the dishes were dropped she didn’t tell us which items were which so we had to just figure it out ourselves and it was our first time there so that just left a very sour taste in our mouths as well. Not to mention the drinks took over 20 minutes to arrive. All we ordered was 2 lychee martinis. Overall, probably wouldn’t be returning considering our first experience was so lacking.

I have a gluten allergy. The waitress was very accommodating and double checked if the fried chicken was safe the fried chicken is gluten free but it’s fried in frier that would be cross Contaminated. Soo amazing for triple Checking. Unfortunately we were so rushed. To the point I was still shoveling food in my mouth and she asked to Take my plate. Even watched over our table. And the Manager coming over on her iPad multiple time during our dinner ( if there is a time limit let us know in advance, we were there total 2 hours with drinks and dessert) Idk if I was starving but the food was excellent!!! Everything was soo good! Dips to filet kebab to dessert

Excellent takeaway dinner or lunch! Many delicious gluten-free and vegetarian options, the lemongrass chicken was both tender and tasty, and there was so much food, the cashier had to staple the lid on, LOL. Seriously, so many toppings, I had to really work to get to the brown rice and salad. Very reasonably priced. Great service too; I appreciate your patience as I pondered all the options. I wish we had a Som Bo in Vancouver, BC. You should open one there - you’d do really well!

We met for dinner at Cafeteria in Chelsea. Pretty relaxed place, friendly staff, nothing too fancy—which I actually liked. We came especially to try their mac & cheese. It’s not really my kind of food, but honestly, it was really good! Creamy and rich—I totally get why people love it. The menu is very American, with some seafood and other options too. I asked if they had a whole wheat option for bread, but they didn’t. Only gluten-free or served in a lettuce leaf. Not a big deal, but it would be great to have that for people following an ADA-friendly diet. The food was tasty, not trying to be upscale or anything. A good spot for a casual night out goth friends 7/10

Valerie Roy

Our dinner was outstanding and their enchiladas are to die for!!! It was so good that I ordered a second main course—despite no longer being hungry—as it was THAT good. The food is freshly made with all natural ingredients. Our server gave us fantastic service and great recommendations. He was very attentive without being overbearing: just perfect. I frequent this restaurant because I have never, ever been disappointed. What a wonderful little gem this place is! I am gluten-free and they accommodated me fully.

Israeli-owned place, delicious dishes, perfect gluten-free dessert, excellent service

Amy Lauria

Really great food with tasty drinks. They have some good gluten free options as well. Sit outside if you can. They have a nice patio.

Genna Suchomel

Fantastic food and they were able to accommodate my gluten free and dairy free diet!

Patti Robbins

BEWARE-if you are gluten free. There are many designations on the menu that claim items are gluten free. The kitchen staff does not understand the concept. There was barley in the chicken soup, even though I asked to make sure that it was GF. Other food/salad were tasty but I grilled the server about each dish. And ate simply

Nicolas Moreau

Our best New York experience with a group of teenagers and a limited budget. Better than all the competitors recommended in the guides. Very good hamburgers, choice and, above all, dishes for all diets: vegetarian, gluten-free, pork-free...

Came for dinner with family and overall experience was disappointing. Food was hit or miss with some decent menu items and others of poor quality or taste. The biggest disappointment was in the service. Wait staff ghosted us for 15 minutes at a time while we waited to order, waited for drinks, and waited for additional menu items which they had forgotten. Also not a good choice for someone with celiac requiring a gluten-free diet. Menu is extremely limited and wait staff was ignorant of what was and what wasn't gluten free. Overall, the restaurant was a bit pretentious with more focus on the vibe than on the food or service.

Emma Amselem Bensadon

Delicious dinner! They don’t have gluten free pita but they can accommodate most of their menu to be gluten free. Service was great and the food was delicious, I didn’t even need pita! Definitely recommend

Really good fresh sushi. I got the chefs special rolls with seared salmon and the triple turo roll which was wonderful. The ikura was too much for me but lesson learned. No honey and no cooked rolls. They had gluten free soy sauce and they had a good ponzu sauce

I had this on my list to visit and was pleased to see gluten-free options for my partner. I love my eggs Benedict and the coffee was described as elixir of life which it felt like that day.

Jennifer Klingler

The Nutella waffles were amazing and the service was very good.The restaurant also made great omelets that were gluten free. And the pancakes were scrumptious! Highly recommend!

We went here Sunday (our last night in NYC) because it was a short walk from our hotel. The music was so loud we couldn’t hear each other without yelling. They turned the lights so low we could barely see our food. My drink was tiny for the price. My beet salad was okay, it could have used more fruit and cheese, a little salt and pepper. My friend ordered a burger without the bun and with sauce on the side. It came under cooked, with the bun and sauce on it and with the wrong side. She is gluten free so she couldn’t eat much of her expensive meal. I was served the wrong meal twice and by the time I received it, my friends had been done eating so I took it to go. It should have been free but that wasn’t offered to me. It also had pesto on it (which is not expected with a ragu) and I hate pesto, so I could not even eat it. The menu did not state it would have pesto on it or I never would have ordered it. I paid way too much to eat there for terrible service and food we either couldn’t or wouldn’t eat due to misleading info or wrong orders. I would not return to this location and wish I didn’t have to pay for my experience at all, as it’s not cheap either.
