    Forgot 1 item from the order that was brought at the end like a dessert. The owner/manager at the front was weird to greet somehow lol. He was looking clueless when we entered the restaurant as if he wasn't expecting people at dinner time.

    Very good food with Jain options. Service was friendly, clumsy at times. Food was forgotten and had to be removed from the bill. No big deal. Overall, a good experience. But pricey, if I’m being honest. The quality is there, I just think that a vegetarian dinner for two skinny people should cost less than $100. Oh well.

    Bland Indian food. Very disappointed. We had dosa and Aloo Matar. The coconut chutney was not salted nor was the Aloo Matar.

    Booking was easy. Place was clean. They had a good menu but the food was OK. We ordered pani puri. Paani was thick and not great.( donot recommend ) We ordered idli sambar. Sambar was good but thick again. Then we ordered breads, dal makhni and paneer. Paneer was good, dal was not. It wasn't a dal makhni, more like Langer dal. Breads were very good. Thin and crispy. We did not have great customer experience as they did not mention that customization of bread was extra charge and then they added 2 dollars for just adding green chillies. Overall, absolutely average experience and we won't probably go again.

    The restaurant is very helpful. I increased the number of guests from 7 to 11, just the morning of the reservation and they accommodated us

    Service was not good. We got a tiny table that could not hold the food of even one person. And that when the restaurant was basically empty. The server poured dirty tap water from the jug - which was embarrassing. So we had to order mineral water. Food was okay. But my previous experience at Ahimsa had been better. May not return
