Our Story

Authentic Indian Vegetarian Restaurant With
Many Gluten-Free And Vegan Options

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 Newyork City. Let Ahimsa nourish your soul with a taste of India, made with love and a sprinkle of grandma’s magic.

We are proud to be the original Ahimsa, located in Midtown East at 204 East 38th Street. Our commitment to serving delicious, health-conscious meals is unwavering, and we appreciate your support.  It has come to our attention that some other restaurants are mistakenly claiming to be affiliated with us or that they share ownership with us. We want to clarify that Ahimsa at 204 East 38th Street is the only original location.

Thank you for choosing us, and we look forward to serving you!

We are also Kosher!

Testimonials

"Had a delicious meal at Ahimsa last night. The lacha paratha was exactly what i was hoping for, flaky and crispy. Also, I ordered the navratten korma and asked for coconut milk instead of cream and they were able to do that. It was delicious, with a nice mix of veggies and not too salty..."
"Delicious and clearly labeled vegan dishes, many options across classic northern and southern Indiana dishes. Pickup order was well packed and ready on time, I'm excited to return."
"Ahem. Sa is so good! Don't sleep on the uttapam. And definitely hit yourself with the dosa. The curries are good too (paneer masala), but a little taste of this reminds me of south Asian food in london."

“When I tell you we cleaned our plates... everything was amazing. For a table full of gluten free vegetarians, it was refreshing to see a menu where we had all the options! Each of us got a chai, and the chai should absolutely not be skipped...”
