We had an amazing experience at this restaurant today! Maria, who served us, was absolutely wonderful. She was very friendly and recommended many delicious dishes for us, including the plov and the milk tea. Everything tasted incredibly authentic and flavorful. I’m from China, and the flavors here are very close to the cuisine from the Xinjiang region back home, which made it even more special for me. It truly felt authentic and comforting. Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for real Central Asian flavors. Amazing food and excellent service!
Food was bland. I have had a lot uzbeki foods in my life. This is nowhere near that. And the bill was $58 something i had $60 change i left saying keep it. I even went outside and a guy literally called us from behind asking why I didn’t leave any tips. I said I did. And he saying no thats not enough. They don’t get salaries. He also added I should give more. I then gave him $10. I mean what was that? Begging for tips? It’s voluntary and its not like i didn’t give. I gave and they called me from behind for more? Maybe if you dont care about the money its ok. But in generalised sense this is weird bad experience.
It was pretty easy to get a table for two on a Thursday evening. The menu was quite overwhelming since they have so many items on it. Decided to get the mini umka perfect puff pies (you can mix and match) and eggplant caviar with lavash for appetizer, and my favorite were the cheese and prime steak puff pies. For entree, we shared the kovurma lagman and kyrgyz ganfan but we didn’t realize the base was exactly the same which was a bummer. Definitely enjoyed the noodle dish more than the rice. The portion was a bit on the smaller side for the price. But overall, we enjoyed the atmosphere and the live music.
This fanciful den feels like home. Great staff, cuisines you rarely see, live drum player's performance was entrancing and transporting. What a find in the financial district
An amazing culinary tour of central Asia, this place is a gem. Don't miss the Tefteli! With such a big menu, we'll have to come back to try more foods. And the service was first rate!
Paid another visit to this place and it always delivers. The one and only Central Asian Restaurant in Manhattan. Great ambiance, delicious food, extremely nice waiter whose name is Max. He is super attentive, great at communicating. I will definitely come back here whenever I’m in NYC. Thank you guys, keep up the amazing work!
Everything was great ????? very tasty, nice atmosphere ? really recommend this place
Super cool decor as you can see from the photos and the food is amazing. Definitely try the Kurt with a pint of beer
I’ve been living in the USA for three years, and this is the first time I’ve tasted cuisine from my home country—and I couldn’t be more pleased! Farida Restaurant in Manhattan gave me the feeling of being back home with their delicious and authentic dishes. The shashlyk was perfectly grilled, juicy, and packed with flavor, reminding me of the ones back home. The baursak was light and fluffy, just like how my family makes it. Their beshbarmak was rich and hearty, with tender meat and perfectly cooked noodles—comfort food at its best! The fresh salad was also a great addition, balancing out the meal beautifully. Their watermelon lemonade was refreshing and one of the highlights of the experience! It paired perfectly with the savory dishes, adding a cool, fruity contrast. I enjoyed the food so much that I will definitely come back to New York just to try it again. If you’re looking for a true taste of Central Asian cuisine and want to feel at home, I highly recommend Farida. It’s an experience you won’t forget!
