Dip Mezze

What better way to set the tone for your dish than with a series of delicious, healthy dip options?

Anixi offers guests the opportunity to choose from among five different dips: taramasalata, fire-roasted eggplant, hummus masabacha, whipped “ricotta,” and kabocha squash. Sample dips individually, as a colorful trio, or in full, sampling the wide range of flavor options pulled straight from the Mediterranean.

With a variety of different housemade bread options to choose from, Anixi’s dip mezze ensures that no one steps away from the table without finding something to love.

Raw and Hot Mezze

Dips may make the perfect snack, but when you’re craving something a bit more hearty, turn to the raw and hot mezze choices for filling mezze you won’t forget!

While many restaurants write “raw” mezze off, only offering an assortment of uncooked veggies, the Anixi cooks take this as an opportunity for creativity. As usual, they rise to the challenge, offering such mouthwatering options as:

  • Arak cured “salmon,” served with toasted pita, za’atar, labneh, harissa, caper leaves, pickled onions, pickled onions, and charred anise
  • Preserved lemon cured “tuna,” served “raw” with a helping of black seaweed caviar, Aleppo peppers, saffron, and parsley oil, with rosemary flatbread
  • Grilled fattoush, made on a bed of petite romaine lettuce, with radishes, cucumbers, tomatoes, parsley, mint, pomegranate, and shaved pita crisps

For hot, steaming options served fresh from the kitchen, feel free to select mezze from all the options on the hot mezze menu! Savor the opportunity to indulge in options from this rarely utilized part of the globe: “beef” dolmas, “ricotta” and spinach borek rolls, and much more!

Unforgettable Entrees

There’s something incredibly wholesome about sharing a meal with your loved ones; however, on days when hunger is knocking at your door, sharable dishes just don’t cut it. Instead, treat yourself to one of the cruelty-free entrees at Anixi!

Whether you’re looking for locally-sourced veggies, creative proteins, or truly artistic seafood substitutions, you’ll find what you need behind the doors of our stunningly designed restaurant.

Indulge in options like:

  • Tomato moussaka made filling with tomato braised “beef,” “ricotta,” and potatoes and kept flavorful with roasted eggplant and vegan mozzarella
  • Grilled “steak” shish kabobs, prepared with Chunk Foods steak, grilled onions, herbs, tahini, and garlic confit tapenade
  • Wild mushroom kabob, made using portobello and crimini mushrooms, compressed tofu, thyme, and a drizzle of pomegranate molasses
