The Bottom Line

Farzi - City Walk is a modern Indian fusion restaurant in Al Wasl where familiar dishes are reworked with theatrical presentation. It is a good fit for a celebratory dinner, a business lunch without a set business-lunch deal, or a meal with friends when the visual side matters as much as the food. Reviewers mention the chicken tikka masala, dal chawal arancini, shawarma biryani and gulab jamun particularly often.

The presentation is the main attraction: some dishes arrive with smoke effects, and the gulab jamun may be finished at the table with frozen rabri and rose. Mocktails also get creative treatment, including the Ananas Orbit and drinks served in unusual glasses or boxes. Indoor and outdoor seating, friendly explanations from staff and basement parking at City Walk add practical appeal.

There are trade-offs. Portions are frequently described as small for the price, and several reviewers found the menu expensive. The cooking can be uneven, with praise for butter chicken, paneer tikka and selected biryanis alongside complaints about dry chicken, bland paneer, oily naan or disappointing biryani.

Spice levels can run high, while options for children and gluten-free diners are limited. Reserve on weekends, and ask staff for guidance before ordering.
