Festive dining but make it modern Indian! . We kicked things off with Achari Chicken Tikka, crispy Kurkure Shrimp & Squid, and melt-in-your-mouth Lamb Kebabs 🔥 . For mains, we enjoyed the creamy Chicken Tikka Masala and hearty Lamb Rogan Josh, paired with garlic naan and dal. 😋 . And the grand finale? A warm spiced chocolate brownie that hit all the right notes. 🍫 If you're looking for festive vibes with a modern Indian twist, this menu is a must-try! 🥂🍴 📍Location: Piccadilly 🚇 Closest station: Charing Cross 💰Price: £42pp for bites, starters (4) and main

Absolutely phenomenal experience, really. I recommend to anyone. Firstly, the Sunday brunch for £35 pp is so worth it. My friend and I were running late for our reservation, and yet the staff seated us obligingly. They kept the starter buffet open a little longer for us, we really appreciated the hospitality and service. When we called on the waitstaff or managers, they dropped what they were doing to meet our requests as a priority. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. I can’t compliment the service enough! Secondly, the decor and general aesthetic was so ambient. They have live music and performances during Sunday brunch and we managed to catch the end of it. The band really matched the tone of the restaurant, it was lovely. Thirdly, the cocktails. Oh. My. Gosh. So we ordered the Punjabi Punch, and punch it did. It was beautifully crafted. We told the bartender as such! A true mixologist. The food, however, a little disappointing. The starters were at times overpowering but not in a good way. We didn’t get a chance to try their pani puri, so can’t comment on that. The fish main was exquisite, must try, but their other mains were underwhelming. The desserts were delicious too! Overall, fantastic place. I definitely want to visit again asap and take all my friends.

The best Indian food I’ve ever had. A great place to eat especially if visiting the Theater. Complimentary ginger shot. I recommend tipping as the service fee rarely gets to the servers. Highly recommend this restaurant

The best Indian food I had in London this time. I can surely say it’s better than a lot of restaurants in India itself. Ambience is classy and food quality is top notch. Service is very approached too. If someone is looking for Indian food in London, this would be the first preference I suggest.

We recently had the pleasure of dining at Farzi Cafe, and without a doubt it was a dining experience unlike any other. From the moment you walk in you are greeted by friendly staff and an inviting atmosphere. Every course was meticulously cooked and flavorful beyond any expectation we had. The staff were incredibly attentive! The food is spectacular not only in taste but in presentation. Farzi Cafe is a must-visit for anyone looking to enjoy a refined dining experience. I highly recommend this as a must-try restaurant, you will not be disappointed!!!!

Really interesting concept of having buffet style Sunday lunch and had counters to cook street food on the spot for us. The mains were really good and there were plenty of selections for dessert. Really good value to get everything below £40. There was also a magician in house, really entertaining. As well as free in house henna service. The live singing was amazing too.

Okay, so we were staying in Picadilly Circus at The Dilly, and this was one of the closest, highest rated Desi food places. I am always skeptical of the Desi food anywhere outside of home, but my husband was craving Desi food so off we went. We opted for the Taste of Farzi menu, which may seem a pricey, but I assure you there is SO MUCH FOOD that it is well worth it. But not only is the quantity amazing, I was clearly shocked at how good the quality of the food was, as well. The items kept coming and coming and coming, and each of the starters were so good, that by the time we got to the mains we felt full. The Fryums and the Chaat came first - the chaat was so well balanced, sweet and sour and the crunch from the fresh green apple REALLY set it apart. The fryums had such an amazing dusting on top of them, that even my 7 month old approved! The Kurkure Shrimp and Squid were STARS - despite being fried they were light on the palette with the punchy garlic cream being the perfect complement. The texture of the Lamb Shami was too pasty for me, although my husband loved it, but taste wise they were still absolutely fantastic. The achaari chicken came last, and seemed like such a small portion but MY GOD the punch it packed was phenomenal. I officially wanted to quit after the chicken, because I did not think it could be topped. Then came the mains - the CTM Chicken Tikka Masala (my least favorite of all Indian food) was truly a massive surprise for me. Not your usual chicken tikka masala, this one was very well balanced and proportioned. Not too much tomato, not too much spice, just the perfect kick with the right seasoning. *Chefs kiss* the tawa fry was to die for. The Rara Gosht was really loved by my husband - I liked it, but the others were the real stand outs to me. We really badly wanted dessert, but we had ZERO space. We did order the Kalamansi Mojito that I cannot recommend ENOUGH, and the smoked old fashioned that really did come smoking and was delicious. The service was so friendly, attentive and especially accommodating of my 7 month old. Everyone was super friendly and nice. The ambience is also top notch, a real delight. I will be returning here for sure - this place is a DREAM! Highly HIGHLY recommend!

I booked Sunday brunch for my birthday and we were greeted by Vrajesh, who accommodated us very well. Despite being 45 minutes late, we didnt find any problem with our reservation. It was a buffet with starters including veg n non veg and chaats like dahi puri and tikki with extraordinary chutney. Seriously, I never had that yellow chutney before. Other starters were paneer,chicken tikka,soup, and live uttapam counter and many other like spring roll, samosa. Then we had to choose one main each so we chose a mix of chicken,lamb and fish. All were delicious and they came with rose rice ,daal and roti. Desserts were a selection of cakes and jalebi with rabri and gulabjamun. We also ordered a few drinks from the menu. The buffet was 35pp, and now comes the time to review the staff there so a big thanks to Rashi,vrajesh,Agnelo,jyoti,Savio and the live singer Dhiren and his team. Plus, the magician ,he is a newly appointed guy who came and showed us mind-blowing magic in a few minutes..man trust me my son will son call u for more work . Thanks for that special birthday cake and wishes . Overall a very good experience to celebrate special occasions. Guys do give us some offer and we will come again n again. Bowled over ..its not the farzi of dubai where u get molecular gastronomical food. Only same name . Thank you

I visited with a group of 20 people, and we pre-ordered our main dishes and desserts when reserving our spot. The vegetarian options I tried were absolutely delicious and exceeded my expectations. That said, I have a couple of notes about the desserts. The brownie was a bit too dry for my liking, and I couldn t detect the spicy flavor mentioned in its description, which was a bit underwhelming. I also tried the tiramisu. While it was a wonderfully light dessert, it didn t quite align with my taste preferences I would have enjoyed something with a bolder flavor to complement the spice in the main dishes. Overall, it s a great place for a fancy dining experience, offering delicious food and an elegant atmosphere.

On the pre theatre menu thee mains were very good (although would have been preferred if they were spicy). Its a good spread when they bring out the Dal, Nan and rice. However, the starter felt like a prank. Ordered the vegetable dumplings and it was literally just two tiny gyoza style dumplings. The dessert was also a massive disappointment. Tiny, and possibly one of the worst cheesecakes I have ever had. Its clear that theyre good at the core Indian stuff but the rest are just fillers on the menu. Id suggest going for a main and not bothering with the rest.

Great interesting food. Service was not great. Ordered a drink on arrival and waiting 10 mins before having to ask again. There were two other people in .? Waiting staff very timid and not answering questions about menu clearly. When asked to take food away as couldn t finish it they brought Tupperware to the table to pack up myself. Felt a bit odd. Customer service needs refining, but all in all really tasty food and good atmosphere/decor.

I can t say enough good things about Savio, who helped me organize my party at Farzi Cafe a few days ago. From the very start, he held my hand and guided me through all the logistics. His calm and professional demeanor made the planning process so much easier. Whenever I encountered issues, Savio was quick to find solutions, and he worked hard to accommodate my budget, which I truly appreciated. His helpfulness and positive attitude made all the difference. The atmosphere at Farzi Cafe was perfect, and the food was absolutely delicious everyone couldn t stop raving about it! Savio s professionalism and friendly demeanor made the experience even better. If you re looking to host an event, definitely reach out to Savio. He ll make sure everything goes smoothly!

Beautiful interior, comfortable seating. Food was nice but its very exspensive for the portions you get! Tiny dokras were nice as a complimentary bite to eat. We ordered Angara Paneer Shashlik this consisted if 2 skewers with 3 pieces of paneer and that was £14.50. I was asked to keep my knife and fork from my starters to use for my main. I refused and asked for a fresh set.Mains we ordered Haveli Kofta, £18 with 2 small cutlets in gravey again nothing special for the price we paid. Overall food was nice but overpriced. Our waitress came over far to quickly to take our food order as we were still looking. During our starters I was still eating my husband had finished and she started to clear the table, also whilst we were still eating our starters she asked if we want to order our mains!! I was still in the middle of eating!! Very rude. Its ok to try once but suggest you go to Open Table and get your 50% off voucher to eat, I would not pay full price at this restaurant.

Waiters. Top notch. Really attentive. Friendly and professional. Food. Really good. Have dropped in quality since the last visit two years ago. But definetely good. Plating. Outright boring. Naan bread really good but the portion was half the size you can expect. And then the reason for only three stars. They add a service charge to the bill. I would gladly have given a 15% tip based on our waiters charm and attentiveness. But let me choose if I want too. You can definetely suspect that it does not land in the pockets of the staff.

Sunny the manager was extremely attentive and even gave me a free drink (lychee chai mocktail) on the house- so refreshing and a lovely surprise! We were also given free lentil cake as an appetiser! I forgot to take pictures as the food was honestly incredible and we absolutely devoured it! We got the theatre menu for £22 pp which was such good value, but we will be coming back for the thali for £15.95 pp- they don t do on Fridays and Saturdays! but highly recommend the chicken tikka as a starter and the Dahl that comes with the mains is a notable mention too.

My brother had booked an unforgettable experience for my sisters and I at Farzi London . From the moment we walked in, the service was outstanding the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and catered to our every need. One of the highlights was the cocktail/mixology knowledge of the drinks expert. Their expertise truly enhanced our experience, and it was a treat to see the lab where these incredible drinks are crafted. Learning about the ingredients and techniques added a fascinating element to our visit. We loved making cocktails behind the bar, smelling and tasting the ingredients was first class and so much fun. The matching of the drinks with the food was outstanding. The food was also delicious, with each dish bursting with flavor. The menu had a great variety of options, making it easy to find something for everyone in our group. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, the perfect setting for our lunch.

Overall I would say we had a good experience at Farzi, but unfortunately nothing outstanding, there were many things that could have been improved. Service was outstanding, cannot fault any of the servers we had, they were helpful and friendly and very nice. The food however we found to be overpriced and quality not of the standard we were expecting. The kale spinach chaat was too tough and heavy taste of tamarind instead of being lighter and better blend of the yoghurt and chutneys. the railway chicken overwhelming taste was just chilli rather than other spices and flavors and portion a little small to share, the bread basket and biryani were nice. Haveli kofta was two patties which then had gravy poured on them, this is not a traditional style kofta and as a result it was dry by the time you got to the second patty, staff were good and brought over extra gravy but this should have been balanced better, finally the crispy okra and sweetcorn batter was more like a fish batter rather than the crispy spiced batter which has masala sprinkled additionally we could not taste the okra so this was a let down as we were looking forward to this the most. Nothing that cant be fixed but a few tweaks here and there and we would gladly be back.

We had a fantastic experience at Farzi London with a tasting menu. The service is fast and attentive, the food is superb and tasty. We had the Fryums and Pappadums, Drums of Heaven, Lamb Kadhai with Dal Makhni/butter naan/steamed rice, and Chocolate Indulgence for dessert. Everything was top notch. The atmosphere in the restaurant is very relaxed and cosy too. Overall a really great experience, highly recommended.

Fantastic food, the drums of heaven certainly do live up to their name, and the lamb kadhai was fantastic. Sophisticated, warm, vibrant flavours, making the whole meal totally wonderful. Was a new find for us, never been before but will certainly come again!

The lamb skewers were great and the butter chicken was fine. The naan has flavors and crispy (personally prefer a softer texture). The price was on a higher end. The service was not bad but not the best either, the lady waitress was nice.

Was in a mild hurry to catch a play next door: turned away at a couple other Indian joints along the way. Being so close to theatre I didn t have high expectations- and boy was I wrong. Everybody was incredibly sweet (Even though I m sure they get dumb people who didn t adequately make time for dinner often). Not only was the service prompt they expedited my food and I was able to leisurely enjoy the meal and get out with 20 minutes to spare. Sunny was a terrific writer, and Chefs food was terrific (Sorry Sonny after I wrote it down iPhone auto corrected it.) Anyway, go here before going to a show at Haymarket you won t be disappointed

Just had an unforgettable experience at Farzi Cafe! We stopped by while waiting for the opera across the street, and wow the vibes here are unmatched! The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with friendly staff who make you feel right at home. The Kark Chai , though small, was a delight! Its rich, aromatic flavor left me wanting more I already miss it! And if you re looking for accessibility, good news: Farzi Cafe is fully wheelchairs accessible, making it welcoming to everyone.

Was looked after by Rashi - phenomenal food and service. Wholeheartedly recommend.

November 22, 2024

I phoned 2 weeks prior to our gathering to ask how the menu works. Told £39. All the starters plates and then pick 1 main and will also be served with a dhal makhani rice and naan. We 15 turned up. Served our starters on platters which we had to keep passing around. I did tell them that I was unhappy about this. More focused on asking for alcohol orders. Then told we will all get the mains and not selecting the one we wanted. This was unfair as most of non veg wanted chicken as their mains Again said this is not what we want. We paid for the bill. Expensive for not being served what we should have had. I emailed to ask to discuss this further. Savio replies that he can t speak with me as I did not make the booking. Never heard such rubbish. I have emailed him 3 times since and no response. It should not matter who booked it. We paid for the whole bill nearly £1k and they can t be bothered to call me to discuss my complaint. I don t normally like to complain but this just takes the biscuit! So I will be going to DEFR to raise my concerns. Why would you not call back a customer who wants to discuss their experience and ask for an explanation about the service and food on the day.

Frankly I m angry .I cannot explain how life changing this food was, and I m pissed that I live too far to eat it every week But, you know I ll at least try to explain, so that the rest of you who live nearby can enjoy it for me Basically I can no longer have CTA anywhere else in the world, because it will pale in comparison to the flavors and tenderness of what Farzi does. Spicy drums? Okay this is spicy AF but YOU CANNOT TELL till after you ve devoured the insanely beautiful seasonings and tastes within their sauce. The lamb skewers offer a little palate neutralization with the sweet nutty sauce. The naan is EXCELLENT. They ve RUINED naan for me from now on, unless I get it here. and I strongly recommend the Himalayan Sour if you like cocktails. Not too sweet, but just enough sweet and smooth to compliment the bold flavors of the menu. The service was incredible, and the atmosphere delightful. Even the music was perfection, with a mix of old world and bluesy tunes. I m livid that this exact kitchen, chef, server, bartender, ALL OF THEM, are not available in Atlanta, GA, USA (or any other city over ever been to for that matter, and I ve eaten Indian food in a lot of cities). And now I will never love other Indian food as much, ever again .

Visited for Sunday brunch and was very impressed. There was a selection of buffet starters and 3 live stations which were all excellent; I particularly liked the omelette in a bun from the live station. You then get to choose a main which comes with Dahl, bread and rice, we had fish and the mutton curry- again both very good but the mutton was the stand out. After being entertained by the very talented magician Michael Gee we then we got to choose from the large selection of desserts. This was £35 and so made it excellent value.

I recently visited Farzi to experience their street food brunch. While the overall experience is still friendly, I couldnt help but notice a little bit of confusion when it came to service at the live counter. Even more when a member of the team was busy taking a video shot in their phone for what id assume was an online post. Half the staff behind the counter was more bothered about the video being shot than the people waiting to be served. The next let down was the starters. The chat counter was restricted to just 2 times and neither bhel nor samosa chat was part of it. And easy add to increase variety, so not sure why that was missed out. The rest of the items were not up to mark, except for the fish. The bun kebab was great and a must try. The main course however made up for the lack of interesting food on the starters. Making me wish I had skipped half the starters. Even more because I felt very stuffed all through the day and I know I ate a lot less than usual as all the live counter food was shared between 4 of us. And I couldnt finish even half the main course. Wondering if some ingredient was the cause. Desserts, the gulab jamun and jelebi were amazing. The rest werent that great. Ive left my experience from my first visit years ago below. Unfortunately the 5 star food review has now dropped to 3. -------------------------- I loved my first experience here. Friendly, and the food is so flavourful. We tried the butter chicken bao (sliders), wagyu boyi kebab, lamb chops, Guntur chilly chicken. Bread basket and nihari. All except the nihari was Uber flavoured, however though the nihari was amazing it lacked a bit of a kick to it. We were so stuffed that I had to skip dessert. Yes. Its not usual for me to do that!
