Came here for my dad’s birthday dinner, amazing food and experience!! The service was fast, friendly, and very thoughtful. There was also beautiful live music. All the dishes were delicious - apart from all the appetizers and main dishes, we all really LOVED and would highly recommend the tea & honey cake! Only dish I wouldn’t get again is the Kyrgyz Ganfan - it was quite pricey ($27) and only had maybe 3 pieces of meat, so while it was fine it didn’t blow us away or feel like good value relati
Tried this cozy Kazakh-style spot for a friend gathering and it turned out to be such a great find! The ambiance is amazing, very warm and atmospheric, and they even had a live singer in the evening 🎤. A perfect place to unwind after work, grab drinks with colleagues. The baked buns come with 5 pieces and can mix fillings like beef, spinach, pumpkin, and chicken. My favorite was the beef. The bun was crispy on the outside and very flavorful. The lamb leg was incredibly tender and well-seasone
Farida Restaurant is an absolute gem! The food was outstanding, and the hospitality truly made the experience unforgettable. Max, our host, and Abu, our server and co-host, were incredibly warm, friendly, and welcoming. From the moment we arrived, they made us feel completely at home. Their recommendations were spot-on, and their attention and kindness made the evening extra special. We ordered the Tender Veal Liver with Mushrooms, the Mediterranean Breeze, and the ground lamb kebab—everything
