“ Food quality - 4.5/5 Food taste/flavor - 4.5/5 Food selection - 5/5 Allergen friendly - 5/5 - they even had dairy free ice cream that is not just sorbet! Excellent service all around and the ambience was classy for a fine dining experience! Overall, this was a probably the best Mediterranean place that I have tried. It was a delightful treat and a great place for date nights! I wish they had one in Seattle, Washington! ”

“ Came here for an anniversary dinner with my fiancé and it was so lovely! The inside of the restaurant is absolutely stunning. Also, blown away with how amazing everything is while being vegan too! Great menu! Started with the whipped ricotta and layered bread. The ricotta had a sweet hint to it. Whatever sauce it was in was paired beautifully. I think it was best with that sauce. And got the beef dolmas which were REALLY good! Then got the grilled chicken kabob & the beef mnzaleh. Honestly both were so so good and blew us away. The beef mnzaleh in particular had the most rich flavor ever, and was to die for. Really really great dish! Same with the grilled chicken shish kabob! Didn't get any deserts but it was such a great experience with amazing food. Definitely recommend! ”

“ Wow !! I've never experienced a fine Dining experience like this ever ...!! For us Vegans, you are gonna be amazed as soon as you walk into this beautiful establishment..., my mouth is still watering from the flavors of this Top 10 dining experience., from the drinks , to our entrees, & followed with dessert.... This place was a VIBE.... !! I drove 2 hrs up from south jersey to come here & it over exceeded my expectations...!! ”

“ HIGHLY RECOMMEND! This is an all vegan establishment that is more than your typical vegan restaurant. The food looks and tasted exactly like meat but better! With more flavor, I was so happy with all the dishes I ordered! Highly recommend the Ekmek Kataifi dessert - not too sweet and filling. Service is quick, for 2 people with one appetizer, two entrees and one dessert less than 90 min. Ambiance is beautiful and you can see the menu without a flashlight. Our server Jared was excellent and very knowledgeable about the menu. Clean bathroom as well. ”

“ From the minute I walked into Anixi, I knew I was in for an incredible culinary experience. A restaurant with so little light that you can barely read the menu is exactly up my alley. I was accompanied by my mom and her good friend, both of whom usually can't stand such dark establishments, but they didn't have the appetite to complain once the dishes began to arrive. We ordered the three dip mezze to start and chose taramasalata, fire-roasted eggplant, and whipped ricotta to go with fresh, hot-out-of-the-oven pita- all of which were heavenly. The drink menu was impressive as well, boasting a list of cocktails flavored by Mediterranean fruits, vanilla, and spices. When the main event of the show came out- the famous Georgian khachapuri- I could barely believe my eyes. Perfectly egg-like vegan sunny side ups lay in a warm blanket of pita which, when poked tenderly with a fork, oozed a savory golden yolk filling. I had truly never consumed such a thing in my life. Finally, the Medjool date cake was the perfect coda to our meal, which was stuffed with warm dark chocolate, nuts, and figs, and served with vanilla ice cream for a final cool touch. As the daughter of a Greek woman, there are some things you just don't play around with when it comes to Mediterranean food- like ruining Greek salads with iceberg lettuce, or serving anything savory that isn't drowning in lemon juice. Thankfully, we didn't have to worry about that at Anixi- every dish was brimming with tradition and authenticity, while simultaneously displaying an impressive understanding of inventive interregional fusions. I also greatly appreciate Anixi for not overly relying on mock meats to fill its menu. Too many vegan restaurants attempt to recreate as many meats as possible in order to attract more meat-eating customers. And too many high-end Greek restaurants make meat the whole focus, while neglecting the centuries-old Greek tradition of performing culinary miracles with fruits, vegetables, and legumes. The animal product alternatives that Anixi does serve are fresh and innovative, such as the orange and black seaweed caviar peppered throughout its mezzes, and "lamb" exquisitely spiced with cinnamon, za'atar, sumac, coriander, and so on. Fortunately for me, but unfortunately for this review, I was too "in the moment" to take any photos of the marvelous interior, dishes, or drinks. Thankfully, there are plenty of others online who have uploaded photos for reference. As a final note before you go-- if you're an everyday working class citizen like I am, your pockets will be hurting after a meal at this place. It really is a pity that fresh and scrumptious ingredients have to come at such an expense. But if you do decide to come to Anixi, just know that its culinary wonders are well worth the high price tag, even if you only get to go once in your lifetime. ”

“ When I say the best vegan restaurant I have ever been to I mean it. It's rare that you get unique, cultural vegan dishes, with great ambiance. This restaurant is not just about the food but the experience. The staff are extremely nice and helpful when navigating the menu. They were very helpful with a gluten allergy and very knowledgeable. It is rare to see a knowledgeable wait staff that actually cares about allergies and sensitivities. Food is beautiful and tastes even better than it looks. The egg tastes just like real egg. Absolutely amazing all around! Highly recommend. ”

“ 10 stars for Anixi Anixi is hands down one of the best vegan dining experiences I've ever had! It's rare to find a place that truly captures such a variety of flavors and textures in plant-based form, but wow this place delivers. We started with the chicken kabob, and I was blown away. The char on the vegan meat was unreal perfectly smoky, juicy, and packed with flavor. It's such a delightful change from the usual textures in vegan dishes. The olive za'atar was not only rich and flavorful but also incredibly satisfying. And then came the lamb pockets--easily some of the best vegan dumplings I've had, not just on this trip to NYC, but maybe ever. They rival some of Manhattan's top spots! Beyond the food, the ambiance was incredibly sexy, dimly lit, and intimate. The seating is close, but rather than feeling cramped, it adds to the experience, making the space feel lively and immersive. Our waiter was amazinghe took the time to explain every dish, made thoughtful recommendations, and was just an all-around joy. If you're looking for a vegan meal that truly stands out, with an atmosphere to match, Anixi is a must-visit. I'll be dreaming about this meal until my next trip back! ”

“ I enjoyed the food here! I was skeptical of a vegan spot but this place was great! I do think the apps are way better than the entrees and kebabs Food: we ordered the three dips (ricotta, Fire Roasted Eggplant and Hummus Masabacha). I enjoyed the ricotta and the eggplant but didn't love the hummus! The layered herb bread is honestly the way to go here! The Chicken Gyro Rolls, Beef Dolmas, Manti Lamb Pockets, and Crispy Lamb Cigars were all so delicious! I wish I got more of the chicken gyro rolls. From an entree perspective: the Khachapuri, Grilled Chicken, Wild Mushroom, and Grilled Steak were all kind of mediocre! I would only get the grilled chicken again! I got the pistachio baklava cheesecake and it was SO delicious- I would definitely order this again Price: very expensive! We offered 5 apps and 4 entrees for 4 people and ate it all! The apps were all priced as an entree and the portion sizes for all the apps and entrees were small Ambience: I love how beautiful the restaurant is! It is large and gorgeous! Service: great service! ”

“ Solid, safe 3.75 but overpriced Food: 3.75/5 All 5 Dip Mezze 3.75/5 Ranked from most to least tasty The 2 breads we chose: Layered herb bread & petite vegetable crudité (this bread would take the 5/5 of all food) 1. Whipped Ricotta Housemade ricotta, aleppo pepper, apricots, saffron Sweet and savory plus a little bit of sticky sauce--perfection 2. Taramasalata Lemon infused yogurt, orange seaweed caviar, red onions, evoo, sumac This taste like Mexican crema--sour cream-- and it is very similar yet very different to the whipped ricotta. Both profiles have a sweet hint Dip #3-5 were tasty but nothing special 3. Fire Roasted Eggplant 4. Hummus Masabacha 5. Ful Medames Fattoush 2.5/5 The underwhelming salad. Could not taste any dressing, but the crispness of the veggies themselves salvaged what could have been dryness or chalkiness Kofta Kabob 3.75/5 This is tasty and flavors were complimentary but the key take away is the sauce drizzle or the meat would be too bland Beef Dolmas 4.5/5 Warm (fully cooked) dolmas, packed with flavor Glazed Carrots and Turnips 3.5/5 Good consistency but too light on the spices. Pretty sure the sweetness or any flavor came from the carrots naturally Confit Potatoes 3/5 (NOT PICTURED) No crispness, but the taste is light, zesty, and savory (the opposite problem of the Glazed carrots side) Dessert: Pistachio & Fig Ice Cream 2.75/5 The only winning point from this dessert is the consistency--very creamy Could not taste the fig I am not sure how strong the pistachio flavor was, but the creaminess definitely helped Price: 2.5/5 $154 for 3 people and 1 person did not order an entree while another treated a salad as her entree I understand the upcharge for it being labeled GF and vegan, but truth is all these ingredients are on the lower end of the price spectrum because they are not meat/seafood/dairy A 5 dip situation is $24 at most at Kashkaval Garden in Hell's Kitchen and not only are they comparable in taste (without olive oil drizzle) but even bigger in size Service: 3.5/5 There were a lot of servers, but it just seemed difficult to get the attention of one (including ours) unless they were already bringing food to us/when they actually had something to run to the table Cleanliness: 4.5/5 Used the bathroom that's big individual stalls Clean sinks Thick disposable hand towels Ambiance: 4.5/5 Vintage wood Earthy-colored mosaic glass Tall ceilings Turkish music brings together what I would not call a Mediterranean setting to feel like one ”

“ My girlfriend took me here for my birthday dinner and I had a an amazing time. The appetizer trio dip and the vegan lamb cigars were excellent. I'd skip the fake egg stuff, but everything else was worth re-ordering and my carnivore companion was shocked by how realistic the vegan meat tasted. Get the desserts as well! Worth it to come back for special occasions. It's expensive but cool/classy. ”
