An unbelievable culinary experience within a few blocks of the Port Authority Bus Terminal and Penn Station - can’t be, think most. Farida is one of Manhattan’s only Uzbek restaurants, featuring incredible dishes formed by the Euro-Asian fusion made possible by the Silk Road - think echoes of Eastern European heartiness with Persian flavors and an undoubtable Asian influence. On display are well-done iterations of Uzbek icons including a lamb kebab rich with savory spices and hints of sumac, an amazing plov - the iconic Uzbek rice dish - featuring goldened rice and tender beef with chickpeas and carrots, and an assortment of crisp dumplings and flaky pastries brimming with pumpkin and spinach. Farida is a s hining example of arestaurant created to give an immigrant community a cozy glimpse of home in a foreign city that simultaneously expands the palates and worldview of New Yorkers.
