What a beautiful restaurant! The interior looks so pretty and fancy. It was baffling that there was no one there when my friend and I went there on a Saturday. We were hungry so we ordered quite a bit: Pani Puri shots, Mumbai crossroads, Biryani, Chicken Tikka Masala, and Garlic Naan. I'm pretty basic so I ordered the Tikka Masala and I loved it! We loved every dish and I liked that the portions were generous enough. We were the only ones there when we got seated so we got our food pretty quickly. I'd love to go back and try their other dishes! read more

Location is great with free mall parking. Restaurants is very nice inside. We were greeted and promptly seated at the far back. We sat for about 10 minutes and had Cliff pour us water and walked away. He then stood in the corner where we were seated and ate what looked like a mango. We waited till he was done and waved him down to take our drink orders. We got our drinks and then he disappeared. We observed other servers taking care of their tables and being present but our server was not to be found. Cliff then appeared back with what looked like tea and stood and drank his tea. We again waited and this experience felt like a prank where there is a hidden camera, waiting for our next move. We were really ready to get up and leave. Slowest service ever. Finally cliff came and we ordered food. Food came out with 15min of ordering. Cod took a little longer. Cod and lamb chops were the best meal of the day. Cod was cooked in such a good gravy and very tasty and so was the lamb. We ordered a variety of naan which was a little chewy. Dessert was the sticky pudding which was very nice. Overall this place is pricey and tip is included so you can't except great service. I would go back here for drinks. But our experience today was awful. Maybe a more engaged server would have changed our experience for the better. read more

What a delightful experience my husband and I had! The atmosphere was amazing, from the friendly staff to the beautiful interiors. Our server/hostess Cliff is AMAZING, he made our experience 3x better. He knew the menu and his friendly upbeat personality was such a joy to have. I highly recommend the lamb chops on the starter side - SO good with lots of flavor. Also shout out to our bartender! Never had cock tails as strong as it here and it should always be that way:)) read more

The main draw of this place is the glitzy presentation of the food. Dry ice, loud popping, table side, etc. to bring the food some flare. If it was all show, I'd be disappointed, but the food was pretty good, too. I'd say this place would be great for birthday celebrations, esp with a bunch of girlfriends for the ooh-ahh factor. Pani puri Garlic naan Prawnstar Can't remember the others, but our least favorite was the rice dish. Otherwise, good food and good service. read more

Farzi Cafe - Indian Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

Delicious food! Outstanding service. Mocktail, appetizer, entree and desert for $100, and I took home leftovers. If you're familiar with Bellevue, that's what Daniel's charges for a steak. Prices are reasonable for the quality and presentation of the food. Ambience was nice. Music wasn't annoyingly loud. Great spot for both casual dining and special occasions. read more

Service was lovely (shoutout to Melvin!), food was quite good (make sure to order rice with your meal unfortunately main courses don't come with it) extremely vegetarian friendly and good cocktails. If you are looking for somewhere that feels lovely, is not too loud and has good staff this is the place to go near the mall. read more

Came here for a team celebratory dinner. Didn't really know what to expect but one of our leaders recommended it so we tried it out. I was amazed! Staff was super accommodating for our large party. Half the fun was their presentation. Took a couple videos of them lighting things on fire and pouring chocolate over our pudding. Everything tasted fantastic too. It was fairly pricey so its best for special occasions or to have your company pay for it. ;-) Achari Chicken Taco (5): since I love mexican food (and any mexican fusion with international flavors), I voted for this as a starter. Did not disappoint! delicious! Fire aslam chicken sourdough kulcha (4): It's always fun seeing an open flame at your table. this was somewhat like a naan flatbread with chicken. Pretty good. Pressure cooker mutton curry (4): this was my main dish and the flavor was awesome! Mutton was very tender. My only complaint were that there were a ton of bones. I know its normal for a dish of this type and part of the fun is them releasing the pressure in front of you, but still. Bones aren't as much fun. Sticky toffee pudding (5): Finally we finished with their sticky toffee pudding. I generally only take a couple bites of dessert but I had to eat the whole thing. This was amazing! And again, their presentation of pouring the chocolate was the icing on the cake. Overall, everyone enjoyed the meal and we have a new spot for team celebrations! read more

An outstanding choice for a team dinner with exceptional food, ambiance, and live presentation. We visited Farzi Cafe in Bellevue for a team dinner, and the experience was impressive from start to finish. The interiors are extremely cozy, stylish, and very well put together, upscale yet comfortable. The hosts gave us a very warm welcome and thoughtfully accommodated our entire group together at one large table, which set the tone for a great evening. We walked to the location, and if I recall correctly, there appeared to be a parking lot nearby. That said, street parking didn't seem particularly easy to find, so planning ahead for parking would be a good idea if you're driving. The food was top-notch, both in flavor and creativity. What truly elevated the experience were the live presentations, which added an extra zing and made the evening interactive and memorable. What we ordered: Live Aloo Chaat: prepared table side; fresh, tangy, and perfectly balanced Peshawari Paneer Tikka: soft, creamy, and well-marinated Guntur Chilli Bao: bold, spicy, and packed with flavor Dal Chawal Arancini: a crispy, creative twist on comfort food Lamb Shank Vindaloo: slow-cooked, rich, and deeply flavorful, served with a stunning presentation Dal Makhani: velvety and indulgent Paneer Lababdar: rich, balanced,satisfying and creamy.Would love it with some naan or just by itself as well. Rice, Tandoori Roti, Ajwain Paratha, and Chicken Kulcha to help indulge with the food on the table. The presentation deserves special mention -- the live aloo chaat preparation added a theatrical touch, and the lamb shank vindaloo arrived in a way that immediately turned heads before delivering big on flavor. Farzi Cafe blends modern Indian cuisine, great hospitality, and an immersive dining experience seamlessly. A fantastic spot for team dinners, celebrations, or a memorable night out in Bellevue. Highly recommended. read more

Food was excellent, service was excellent and so was the ambience. We were initially apprehensive about the menu as it sounded a bit like fusion, but loved it in the end due to subtle flavors. I would recommend the lalmas and the sticky toffee pudding. The golden chicken cafreal, that the staff recommended was also quite good. read more

I've been the token white guy with large groups of Indian friends who have dined here for big celebrations. We always spend well over $1500 as a group so it's easy to run up a huge bill if you aren't careful. Everyone always enjoys it. I've tried most items on the menu and everything has been excellent. The drinks are great too. Clove in Renton at the Landing is just as good, so if you like Clove you'll like Farzi. read more

Farzi Cafe - Old Delhi Fashioned - Indian Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

This place was amazing!! I first learned of it through a Yelp Elite event when they opened, except I was out of town and didn't have a chance to try. Since then, I haven't had an occasion to spend extra money on food until this month-- where we celebrated a dating anniversary! We came at lunch time and the restaurant was reasonably busy for that time and given the price point. It was fun to feel out of place (and a nod towards reasonable authenticity/taste) that everyone eating there was South Asian. (A few of them gave us glances of "are they in the right place?", which made me laugh.) My favorite was either the lamb chops or the goat cheese chicken tikka shared plate, and I would 100% order those again. The lamb chops were cooked perfectly tenderly, and the chicken tikka flavor was excellent. I think the pani puri was more showy than yummy, so I would probably not do that one again personally. We also got chicken biryani and paneer lababdar-- both were tasty and there was SO much of it that we had leftovers. I liked them fine enough, but would be excited to try different ones next time. Note that some of the dishes are spicy with no other warning other than the dish should be spicy-- but it's a pretty low-ish level of spice so unless you're sensitive to spiciness it's not really a problem. (The lababdar was the spiciest dish of the ones we got.) I liked the fancy feel with the tasty food! Would come again (for a special occasion, still definitely on the pricier side)! read more

Farzi is just what Bellevue needed. This restaurant offers a wide selection of modern Indian fusion dishes, and they are all both interesting and beautifully presented. The cocktails are great, with both alcoholic and non alcoholic offerings. Farzi also stays open late, which is a huge plus. Ambiance and music are top notch, as is the decor. read more

The flavors were delicious and very unique. We enjoyed the avocado tacos, chicken rice dish & garlic naan

While I was in Seattle, I visited this place and I'd recommend making an appointment ahead of time, it just makes things smoother. I started with the raw mango chaat, which had a fun twist. It was served in an avocado shell and had mashed avocado mixed with all the classic chaat masalas. It was tangy, fresh, and really flavorful, such a creative take on mango chaat. Then I tried the lamb chops, and wow this was absolutely good. Perfectly grilled, juicy, and seasoned just right. I loved every bite. I also had the chicken biryani, which was really okay but not the best! I did try the lamb shank vindaloo too. The lamb itself was cooked well, tender and falling off the bone but I wasn't a big fan of the curry sauce. It was just okay and didn't quite hit the mark for me. The place was actually pretty busy, even on a weeknight, which says a lot. Every dish came out with great presentation, and even the naans were soft and fresh! And the total highlight of the evening were the drinks and dessert which were out of the park! Great presentation and absolutely delicious! read more

Farzi Café is a full-on performance -- dry ice, bold plating, cocktails that look like potions -- but sadly, the taste didn't quite match the theatre. We ordered a ton of dishes, mostly appetizers, and here's the breakdown: OG Guntur Chicken Bao: Meh. Looked cool, tasted flat. Goat Cheese Chicken Tikka: Actually quite good -- one of the few standouts. Kheema Shepherd's Pie: Not for me. Confused textures, not enough depth. Pani Puri: Visually a total showstopper with that dry ice -- but the actual puri and pani? Sleepy. Pressure Cooker Chicken: Cute concept, but the meat was tough and lacked soul. Lamb Shank Vindaloo: Just saffron, saffron, saffron -- needed acid, spice, something. Cod Entrée: Looked elegant, tasted...nothing. What did shine? My Lychee Fantasy mocktail -- so refreshing and fun. And the rest of the table really enjoyed their Old Fashioned and Khali Peeli cocktails. Farzi definitely delivers on drama -- it's the kind of place you go to be wowed by the look of the food. Just wish the flavor journey lived up to the visual hype. read more

Farzi cafe has truly become our happy place. It's our regular go-to spot and, without a doubt, one of the best places in town for fusion food. There's something incredibly comforting about walking in and being greeted by such warm, friendly staff and it instantly feels like home. Every dish on the menu is a winner, but we still find ourselves coming back again and again for our absolute favorites - dahi ke guchey are pure comfort tangy crisp hung yogurt , the achari mutton tacos are bursting with bold, unforgettable flavors perfect Indo-Mexican affair , and the kheer cannelloni is nothing short of a magical delicacy that will melt in your mouth.. honestly beyond delicious and on another level altogether. What makes Farzi cafe even more special for us , is the experience as a whole with relaxed vibe, the cool breeze, and the pleasant ambiance making it the perfect retreat after a long, tiring day. It's not just a meal; it's a moment of joy, warmth, highly recommended if you are up for something creative where every season is surprisingly delicious with new recipes . read more

I recently visited Seattle, and a friend recommended this place for lunch. The restaurant wasn't busy at the time--only one other table was occupied. I was immediately impressed by the interior design, and the restroom was exceptionally clean, almost among the best I've seen. They seemed to have a new menu, so I started with the Guntur Chilli Chicken Bao. It was fine, though nothing extraordinary, and the side of fries felt like frozen ones rather than freshly made. Next, we tried the Farzi Paneer Lababdar. Back home, this dish usually comes with large chunks of paneer (cottage cheese), but here it was prepared a little differently, leaning tangy and slightly sweet. We paired it with tandoori roti--not my personal favorite, though it was decent--and the Malabar paratha, which was also fine. We also ordered ghee jeera rice, but the first serving was undercooked and flaky. We pointed this out to our server, Morris, who promptly brought the chef over. The chef agreed to replace it, and the second serving was much better, cooked properly with no flakiness. Overall, it was a decent experience. While the service was attentive--the owner even stopped by to check on us--the food itself felt average for a restaurant that positions itself as premium. When paying a higher price point, I expect dishes to be consistently fresh and made from scratch. I would rate this visit 3.5 stars. read more

The food is decent, I wish the appetizer portions were a little bit more. I went there with my team and one of the appetizers, I believe it was goat cheese chicken tikka was so say, we couldn't make 6 pieces of, lol! The entree were good, standard Indian fare, I wish they came with rice as that is pretty standard for Indian restaurants. The service was a little slow, and the waiter delivered someone else food to our table, we promptly noticed and let them know. The ambiance is ok, you do get hit with the curry smell as soon as you enter, if they are trying to stand out as a high end fusion Indian restaurant, maybe do something for better ventilation. Definitely recommend for good Indian food on the east side, per person approx $50 with taxes and tip read more

Drinks: hot chai, whats up butter cup and funny girl. All the dishes were packed with flavor and spice!

We dined in early on a chilly September day, after work and were seated at a booth closer to the front door versus being more inside the restaurant where everyone else was. BUT that was fine, it meant we could eat peacefully! The drinks were DELICIOUS and everything tasted really good. The ONE thing that slightly bugged me was that it seems the dishes weren't as hot as they should be, sort of like our order came up but no one heard it. To still taste good while chilled is a good thing indeed! Also, while portions look small, they are the right size, so that you'll have enough room for dessert! If you're in the area and want to grab an early dinner, pop in and grab a table (though we reserved)! The menu definitely rotates too, so you'll have to check the menu in the window to make sure you're interested in what's being served for the season! read more

I was really looking forward to a flavorful chicken biryani here, especially for a special occasion, but this turned out to be one of the worst meals I've had. It's outrageously expensive for what you get--nothing extraordinary at all. The biryani was basically just a bland mix of plain rice and chicken pieces with absolutely no depth of flavor or spices. It tasted like it was thrown together without any care. To make matters worse, they didn't even bother peeling the onions properly-- we found bits of dry, dead onion skin mixed into the dish, which was not only unappetizing but ruined the texture entirely. If you're looking to spoil a celebration or punish someone with a mediocre, overpriced meal, this is the perfect spot. Otherwise, steer clear and save your money for somewhere that actually knows how to make biryani. Extremely disappointed--won't be returning. read more

Had a wonderful dining experience at Farzi. I've been to Farzi a few times, but the recent one was my favorite experience. The hospitality was warm, great ambience and seating. Coming to the food, most of it was great. Amazing presentation and good food. Started off with the Raw Mango and Avacado salad. This was my least favorite. Could hardly feel the raw mango and was more of guac. Definitely not going to order that again. But the Diwali special menu, had the smoked Paneer Labadar Bruschetta and oh, so good! Also tried the palak Kofta and the mushroom kulcha and both were delicious. An amazing place with great food. Definitely going back for more! read more

Second time here and will be back! The food here is simply spectacular, we're spoilt for choice when it comes for Indian cuisine, but I've never felt like we have many options for finer dining in the sense of ambiance especially Just be aware it is beyond noisy and therefore to be heard you'll need to be even more noisy. The only reason I'm docking a star is I reserved a table only to get a table at the bar (usually this is for walk ins) and yes I'm petit but I've always managed to sit on a stool and this was just not happening (my dress agreed with me as well) the service was also lacking, it felt rushed and not enough attention was being paid (they may have been understaffed but alas it is what it is) our server was very helpful and luckily found a table that someone had not shown up for, yay (so just be sure to state your preference, this was an online booking so not sure if there was a spot for that) let's get to food! Fire chicken sourdough kulcha 5/5 OMG this was so yummy, beautiful spices with perfectly cooked chicken and the bread was wonderful as well Lamb shank korma 4/5 it was delicious but paired with all the other lovely dishes it seemed to lack flavor and salt Smoked butter chicken 6/5 what in the what!? Yeeessss slather me in this!!! Ugh there are few dishes that make you pause after a bite, but boy did this slap me sideways I loved the smokiness *drools* Prawnstar 5/5 such a beautiful dish I would recommend 100% beautifully cooked, can not go wrong Chocolate Soufflé 5/5 THANK YOU FOR HAVING A DECENT DESSERT.
