Farida Restaurant, located at 32 Cedar Street in New York City’s Financial District, is a must-visit spot for those seeking authentic halal Uzbek and Kazakh cuisines. Their menu features traditional dishes like manti (steamed dumplings), shashlyk (grilled skewers), and plov (a rice dish). I tried their salmon, and it was fantastic—perfectly cooked and seasoned to perfection. The food overall is fresh and flavorful, offering a genuine taste of Central Asia. The staff are incredibly kind and provide excellent service, adding to the warm and welcoming atmosphere. If you’re in the area, Farida is definitely worth a visit!
