47r Via de' Bardi, Florence, Tuscany
Owners are Muslim went for dinner with my family food is really awesome good taste biryani as well as the chicken karai to end it off a nice cup of Pakistani tea. Would definitely go back
Didn\'t try the Italian food, only the desi food. Got a menu item that was excellent, it had a mix of lamb pieces (similar to behari kebab), tandoori chicken, naan, rice, and seekh kebab. Also ordered butter chicken which was very creamy and flavorful. Overall a positive experience, the staff was welcoming but a bit all over the place and disorganized. Ambiance was clean and plain but they did have outdoor seating which was nice. Prices were a bit high but were worth the flavors- was not expecting to have such good/authentic desi food in the heart of Florence Italy! Would recommend if you are looking for some authentic flavors and a nice halal restaurant.
Me and my husband found this place during our honeymoon. We got there when it was pretty late, and the owners said not to worry and for us to take our time. We ordered an Italian Dish and a Pakistani dish. Both were very delicious! The naan was amazing and huge! This was the only halal place in Italy that we found had no Alcohol (great!). As we left the owners gave us free water bottles and offered us to take more drinks. It was a very home feeling, they asked us where we were from and were very nice. Would definitely recommend!
Amazing halal food and great ambience! Good and fast service, a nice place to get warm and reenergize during winter times 😊 . The quality of the food is worth the price, and for sure will come again if ever in Florence ðŸ•ðŸ
Excellent! The foods are tremendously awesome especially the carbonara. For the malaysians, teh tarik is a must try because it's very close to the malaysians' original. The staffs are very friendly.
Good foods and nice ambience. chicken tikka, spaghetti allo scoglio and calamari fritti are recommended! but lasagna and pizza were quite different than normal. The owner/manager and staffs were very friendly and polite. Recommended for those who want to try halal Italian food. And for malaysian, you can try their teh tarik! ( but should mention teh tarik without ginger )
Good halal food. Love it and nice ambience. Located near ponte vecchio. spaghetti allo scoglio and iced chocolate is superb and nice!
Enjoyed lunch there, ordered Seekh Kebab (5/5), Biryani (3/5), and Chicken Sikandari (3/5) and naans (piping hot 5/5). Overall a very enjoyable halal meal in Florence. Location of restaurant is also very nice after walking across the scenic Ponte Vecchio (bridge). Big negative is hefty price.
Perhaps the worst pakistani resturant I have visited. I followed the comments ordered Lamb biryani and lasagne. We were told by the waiter, that we are famous for fresh food and our Lasagne is better then any italian restaurant (Over exaggerated statements). But I was very disappointed to see that none of them was fresh and lasagne was not even its orignal form. Pakistani food is famous for Biryani and desi touch. Biryani was pathetic. Another thing is that its too over priced. When I asked about the quantity waiter felt reluctant to inform me and said its universal size and enough for one person. Lasagne was served in very small amount. Better not to try these things. Only order NAAN and something with chicken. The worst part is that, we were charged 12 euros for a plate of salad :) and be careful while paying bill was very ambiguous/suspicious I checked and ask to make it correct 3 times.
This Restaurant is what you are looking for if want good halal food , the owner and staff are very welcoming and polite , the food is delicious I tried the Pakistani dishes the beryani the tandori the mushroom soup .. The pizza is also recommended . I am still in florence during the holy month of Ramadan and enjoying having eftar there every evening . It is just across the river take the bridge with the shops and then turn left you can't miss it . Grazie
we had...lasagna with grilled chicken, lamb briyani, tandoori, nan, tea, apple juice.... All were wonderful, and the owners; an exceptional example to all the halal eateries around the globe. "fit for a king"..
It is a great place to eat in Florence, it's right over the bridge and the first left when you go over Ponte Vecchio. Address: Via dei Bardi. 47r - Firenze (zona Ponte Vecchio)
My wife and I went around Europe and came across this lovely restaurant. Turns out the owner went to Hajj the same year as us, and is on the masjid committee in Florence. Absolute champion. The food was amazing by the way, and I'm quite fussy. The carbonara was so good as was the steak. Totally worth the price. The italian food here is so good that even local italians were eating there! We went there everyday - I wouldn't eat anywhere else in Florence. Try everything haha.
We had the chicken and lamb biriyani rice, lasagne and egg plant parmigiana. The chicken biriyani was ok, but the lamb was better. For a Pakistani halal restaurant, we were pleasantly surprised to find the Italian dishes to be quite good - especially the egg plant parmigiana! The service was good and efficient, the owner was warm and friendly and the location is superbly convenient. If you are looking for halal Italian/Pakistani/Indian in the tourist centre of Florence, l would highly recommend this place.
Food was lovely but they do serve alcoholâ”
The service there was great when we had our dinner there. We ordered chicken briyani, lasagne and spagetti carbonara. Chicken briyani was spicy, just nice to our liking. Lasagne was okay. We'll definitely come here for a second time if there's a chance
Decent food although chicken better than lamb (tough) we liked the madras curry although not as spicey as we'd like, the Palak Paneer was delicious and naan (although small) fresh and tasty. Masala tea a must to finish meal off! We'd definitely go back!
During my last visit to Florence in Jan 2012, I had a chance to visit Madina Tandori. I found the atmosphere pleasant and the food was delicious. In general Madina Tandori serves Pakitani cuisine. However, I really liked the tourist menu they have for people who want to explore the Italian cuisine. In the tourist menu many traditional Italian recipes are served. The important thing to note is all traditional food is served halal (which is difficult to be found elsewhere). For meat lovers, I recommend the traditional Italian steak made in Olive oil.
Visited the restaurant twice back in 08. The staff is nice, the place a bit shabby... most of the food had a microwave tast. But the thing is that most halal restaurants are usually "kebab" and "doner" places, and who would want to eat that? so this is probably the "best" halal you will get in florence, unfortunately.
I visited the restaurant this week. Food is good but a bit bland so ask them to make it spicy at the time of ordering. Restaurant name outside is something else but went in when I saw the halal sign. It was iftar time so shared their own iftari - served pakoras, dates, juice and fruits. Good service. Even gave me a kebab roll for sehri. Has clean washrooms and can request for prayers. Has got seating outside as well which is very nice in summer.
The food was excellent - best beef seekh kababs I've had outside Pakistan. The owner was very nice. Great location - a couple of blocks from the Ponte Vecchio bridge.
