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!
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!
I want to give them a higher rating. Food was good, service was good, seems like quality ingredients, friendly to dairy free gluten free…. I had to deduct 2 stars because I paid $2 extra for shrimp in my soup instead of chicken, and they only gave me 2 shrimp. I asked about it, and they said it’s intentional. NYC needs to get a grip on reality.
