Good… - Edit
The food is good and kinda healthy. However I would have liked it better if it wasn't cold, the restaurant was not busy and we waited too long to eat. There were literally two customers there, and we didn't see any customers picking up orders, while we were waiting.

Amazing! 🤩😻 - Edit
The food here was really delicious and for a very good price compared to other places in this area. The staff was friendly and it was easy to find a parking spot close by. I also really loved the atmosphere at this place. I'm only staying in the area for a few more days, but I'm sure I'll come back here before I leave.

Went to this place for lunch today and was not disappointed. I ordered the chicken tenders - 10/10, spring rolls - 8/10, fries 10/10, and birthday cake cookie 1000/10. Would definitely re-order everything I ate.

This place has changed its name a few times over the years. Quality has downgraded unfortunately. I miss the old Ahimsa

If Only They Didnt - Edit
When Ahimsa was Zephyr it was incredible! Once it switched, it went down hill. The quality of food, the available choices, the quality of service all are not great.
Read moreI met my wife there and we used to go back yearly on our anniversary but decided after year three that the lack of good food and service was just no longer worth it, so we celebrate meeting at other vegan eateries.
Cons: Quality of food, Service

Disappointing :/ - Edit
Walked in to warm restaurant on a hot Saturday, with no music playing, and a very dry ambiance. Walked to the counter, and was ignored by the employee. Had to initiate contact, and was told to hold on. Ahimsa Burger and Thai bowl came out luke warm. Was a dry tempeh burger, didn’t feel like a house made burger as expected. Burger was missing mushrooms, and bun wasn’t toasted. Felt like it came from a grocery store. Iceberg lettuce seemed lo-quality and basic. Upgraded to sweet potato fries, which were the only thing that came out warm. Ordered another side of regular fries, but they came out cold, felt frozen and processed. Only ate a few. Thai Bowl had room temp veggies, rice, and tempeh cubes, all underwhelming. Peanut sauce was the best part.
Read moreHibiscus tea & ginger lemon drink came out room temp, had to ask for a glass of ice. Tables were dirty, and felt neglected. Was considering dessert, but ice cream had freezer burn on top, and the “fresh desserts” seemed a couple days old. Management needs to step it up before I would return.
Pros: Wide selection vegan menu, Nice decor
Cons: Served in disposable containers & plastic, Doesn’t feel fresh, Poor ambiance, uncomfortable to dine in

Best Vegan Food in Long Beach - Edit
Ahimsa has great food and THE best in Long Beach. Fiesta Burrito is outstanding. Southern Fried Chicken Strips are very tasty. They recently began making vegan taro milk boba and we LOVE it.

Soooo good - Edit
Our party of three had three different bowls. Each generous portion was wonderfully presented and absolutely delicious. The one non-vegan in the group couldn’t believe how great vegan food could be! (And the compostible bowls got an additional thumbs up from us.)

Not feeling compassion in Ahimsa - Edit
Taken aback by the food and service-
Read moreExpensive bland food only to be redeemed by the chocmint milkshake.
The lack of attention to satisfaction was palpable.
Burger joint service with restaurant appearance left us disappointed.
The cookie tasted remarkable but not like a cookie.
Had sold product in the display acounter for immediate paying custumers.
Pros: None
Cons: Service, Ambience , price
