Vegan Mediterranean Restaurant NYC

It’s no secret that Mediterranean cuisine is among the most popular in the world. Renowned for its outstanding flavor and remarkable health benefits, this diet began gaining steam in the fifties, and since then, it’s only grown in admiration!

The Inspiring Power of Vegan Mediterranean Cuisine

A truly memorable cuisine is about far more than health; it’s about flavor and the ability to offer enough options to keep guests from any background stimulated, entertained, and begging for more.

If there’s anything vegan Mediterranean cuisine can do, it’s present options!

The traditional Mediterranean diet is designed to take advantage of all the flavors of the rich cultures of the Mediterranean. These countries, primarily located along the sea itself, pride themselves on their intricate, complex range of seasonings. From herbaceous rosemary and oregano to the subtle heat of fresh paprika and peppers, diners at Anixi can rest easy that they’ll find flavors fit to meet any craving.

A diet of inclusion rather than exclusion, vegan Mediterranean cuisine focuses not on the foods one can’t eat but on all the delicious possibilities that make up a healthy diet! In place of greasy meat, diners enjoy stunning options like protein-rich mushrooms, chickpeas, and the most mouthwatering meat replacements on the market.

A touch of high-quality olive oil and indulgent vegan wines ensure that no one leaves this table wanting more!

Bite-Sized Perfection

Much of the traditional Mediterranean diet consists of “snack” style foods: dips, spreads, and flatbreads that encourage eating small portions throughout the day rather than large meals. Anixi stays true to that tradition, offering a host of dips and mezze options that allow guests to personalize their meal to their preference.

You’ll adore the opportunity to sample the flavors of:

Whipped “ricotta” dip, made with Monty’s almond and cashew ricotta, with apricots, Aleppo peppers, and saffron
Kabocha squash dip, flavored with harissa, preserved lemon cream, and sweet date honey
“Beef” lahmacun, rich with garlic, tomatoes, ground “beef,” onions, Aleppo peppers, fresh parsley, lemon, and traditional labneh
Our fire-roasted eggplant flatbread, topped with tomato marmalade, caramelized cipollini onions, whipped “ricotta,” mint, and pomegranate molasses

With nearly twenty small-dish options to choose from, treat yourself to a tour of the Mediterranean, ordering as many dishes as you need to split among friends, share with family, and grow closer through the power of a truly unique dining experience.

Unforgettable Entrees

Small plates may offer a beautiful chance for variety, but some days, you just need a large meal to sink your teeth into. Anixi is once again ready to serve, with a wide variety of unforgettable entrees to choose from!

Just one bite and you’ll be dying for more of our crowd-pleasing favorites:
