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).
The Breakfast was really good this morning. I had Iced Coffee with Vege Breakfast Burrito. The server was very Nice. Highly recommend because they have Vegan and Gluten Free options.
Great Food and perfect service! The dishes look and taste fantastic and the food is really authentic! Great for people with food allergies, everything is well annotated even gluten free!
This might be my new favorite Thai Food spot 🤔
You ever just have “food eras” where you crave one specific type of meal or cuisine for a few weeks and it’s all you want? Yeah. That’s me with Thai Food atm.
Had to check out a spot I’ve long heard about:
📍Glur Thai (@glurnyc)
👉 WHAT WE GOT:
• Chicken Pad Thai ($17) — *gluten free*
• Vegan khao na ped ($20) — vegetarian duck over rice, pickled ginger, and Thai herbed gravy
👉 WHAT I THOUGHT:
The Chicken Pad Thai was certified ✨🙏 From plating, to portion size, to flavor, this dish brought it all. The chicken was thin and juicy, the noodles were slick with flavorful salt, tons of peanuts to spread around, and of course, a like wedge to tie all the flavors together 😍
The Vegan khao na ped was also excellent for mock duck. The pieces of “duck” were crispy, flavorful, and not greasy (at some spots, Nick meat can be a bit slimy). Fresh ginger and dipping sauce on the side made this a simple yet flavorful dish, great for vegetarians 🌱
Service was friendly and our dishes came out in just around 10 minutes which was fantastic given how hungry we were.
The space is small so come early, or be okay with a small wait if you come during busy dinner hours (we waited 5 minutes).
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?
The people working very nice and friendly. They were very informative about the items on the menu and had many gluten free options. I would visit again! Great experience! 😊
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.
Delicious latte!! I went for almond milk and it actually tasted almond-y not too sweet and was so so good! Also got a gluten free & vegan cookie, which I so appreciate seeing because it’s SO hard to find the combo of both. It was insanely good!!! This is probably the first gluten free/vegan cookie I’ve ever had that tasted like a real, quintessential old school bakery style cookie. I’ve had good gf/v cookies before, but this was on another level!
