I’ve now been to this restaurant several times and as always the food is super tasty. As soon as you walk in the smell is so flavorsome. My only disappointment is the much smaller portion of the honey chicken and we found it very loud in the restaurant. This was probably due to being in the middle of the room rather than being in a side booth. In saying that I will still visit again .

Farzi's menu is amazing and everything we tried as delicious. The service was very slow for pre-theatre diners which wasn't ideal and there is a lot of upselling of extra dishes and sides but the staff are all very friendly so it's still a very pleasant experience and we will be back.
