"Farida makes excellent Uzbek food in a tiny, thoughtfully decorated room on 9th Avenue. The best food here involves grilled meat and samsa dumplings filled with more meat (the pumpkin ones are good too). The meal won’t be light, but it will be delicious and impress anyone you’re going to a show with - even your Dad who quite frankly doesn’t expect to be impressed by anyone except for Billy Joel at MSG." - hannah albertine, bryan kim, matt tervooren
