The restaurant’s ambiance is great, a lot of focus on presentation which is really impressive. However, the food was not worth it at all from drinks/ appetizers to dessert. They really need to improve their taste. For the price point and the main reason I would go to a restaurant (the food) I would not recommend this place.

Pros: Food was good but not worth the price for certain items. The space is trendy and beautifully decorated. Cons: Service was awful and very confusing. The server or manager needs more etiquette training while serving guests. The washrooms were dirty, smelly and disgusting, we had to use other facilities at the mall. The bartender was hocking across the bar and did NOT wash his hands before touching the drinks and utensils. Super gross!

In short, Farzi Cafe is a big SCAM! All 5 star reviews are fake as well. However, I truly appreciate their audacity to fool their customers. They assume that everyone who goes to their place can be made fools easily. Let me explain: They are full of cheap street level showmans. They play with a lot of smoke (liquid nitrogen) and a lot of unwanted design techniques. Distracting you from their cheap food, low quantity, and unrealistic price points. Special note - the water bottles in your table - they will charge you 6$ each without even asking you. Their servers are cunning in making you order unwanted items. He also pushed us for a 5 star review multiple times, to the point where many of us felt uncomfortable. If you take pride in your intelligence level, I recommend to never visit to this place. Cheers!

Worst experience. They are cheating people in the name of a high end restaurant. Will not recommend for anyone to go there. We paid $300+ for 3 people. It was the worst experience. Firstly they add gratuity on their own without our knowledge or consent. I believed the gratuity in Canada is only added for a table of more than 6 diners. Secondly, the prices they mentioned of the cocktails is not the actual price they show on the bill, they add additional $10 for adding alcohol to your drink(apparently cocktail, which should already show the price of the alcohol in it).

Customer experience needs improvement. There were so many things that went wrong here that could be easily avoided. We were given bottled water without the waiter telling us it costs $6. I assumed it would've been tap water when we asked for water but by the time we realized what was happening he had already opened the bottle and poured it out. It was so sneaky. The second thing that happened was that one of the glasses was dirty. I was drinking the water and felt a small piece of hard food in my mouth. Unfortunately looking into the glass I saw more floating pieces of food. We asked the waiter to change the glass and the $6 water that was in that glass was wasted. He didn't ask if we wanted more water to replace the one that was wasted. To top it off he literally gave us another dirty cup to replace the dirty cup. We mentioned it to him and we finally got a clean cup. Next was the cutlery, I'm being picky about this but my partner and I were given a different type of fork for some reason. It was odd to see this inconsistency in cutlery. The only good thing was that the food was good, I'm not an expert in Indian food but it tasted good to me. The garlic naan was very fresh. If someone is going to pay their price point you would think they would get the basics down. I didn't mind it was dirty in the first place, what I did mind was the lack of empathy for us. They did the bare minimum and if it was a cheaper restaurant then I wouldn't be posting about this, but the fact is a place that charges $6 for bottled water without telling you means they're supposed to have good service. This place doesn't cut it.

Short summary: food is good, service is not, definitely not worth the price. Never ask for 'still water', always ask for tap water. The food was pretty good and I liked the way the restaurant had put their own twist on a lot of the dishes. Unfortunately, even though we reserved, they didn't seem to have a table ready (granted we were about 10 minutes late). We managed to get a table inside, close to the windows. Unfortunately, a gust of wind would come by our feet every so often, either from the main door or back door. We waited about an hour for our food and weren't given any updates from the staff, but when we asked the manager about the delay, we were told that something went wrong with the gas pipes (even though we saw several others getting served their food), which is fine, but I do wish we were given an update earlier. After that situation, however, we didn't seem to have any issues. My least favourite part was the fact that this is a restaurant that has staff that will ask you "sparkling or still water?" and if you make the mistake of saying "still water", you will still get charged for the water, despite the price not being listed on the menu. ALWAYS SPECIFY TAP WATER when they ask if you want sparkling or still water. The reason restaurants will do this is to run up your bill, and thus, the tip. We made the mistake of getting 3 waters (they come in bottles), for which we got charged $18.

Was recommended by friends and decided to give this place a try with others. We had a reservation at noon but the restaurant was more than 2/3rds empty and we were still waiting for other parties to arrive bur the manager kept coming to us to ask if we were ready to order multiple times even as we kept telling him we'd like to wait. It was also not disclosed at first that water meant bottled still water so we were surprised at a $6/bottle fee. After my friend arrived the manager immediately came to the table to ask for orders and we had to delay him but he kept recommending to order more for the table despite our misgivings. Even after we gave our food orders, he recommended the alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks which were the priciest on the menu, when asked about the coffee which shows $4, he told us the menu was misprints and it was $10 and so was the regular teas. Needless to say, it felt like a shameless cash grab and it was a blatant attempt to get more money so we just stuck to the water. Granted once the food got here, the presentation and taste were good, but in the end we had over-ordered at the manager's recommendations and we had leftovers. Pros: - Taste of food was good - Presentation of food was good Cons: - Cost was not worth the food ordered - Persistent manager which made the service feel like we were being pressured to buy more and that we were ordering not enough - No upfront disclosure of the tap water cost - Manager claims their menus have misprints of their price but when we wanted $4 coffee, he stated all coffees and teas started at $10 only - 18% gratuity already included on bill but still asked us for tips Overall, the cons outweighed the pros and we don't think we'll be back. The manager Paras made us feel unwelcome and the 18% gratuity on top feels unfair considering the lousy quality of service we experienced.

It was our first time in this restaurant while I was celebrating my husband’s birthday. Initially I was scared by reading reviews for the food quality and taste but we weren’t disappointed. Ambience was good, food was good, presentation of food and drinks was amazing but oh my God the prices are rocket high for this place considering it’s in the mall. Even the Michelin star Indian restaurants doesn’t charge this much for few things. Our bill was $237 between two people for 2 appetizer , 2 drinks and one main course. Anyway we were celebrating so it didn’t affect us a lot but still in little bit guilt for spending this much amount for one dinner😂.

I wanted to try out this cafe since I enjoyed the decor looking from the outside and I finally did over the weekend for a lunch that ended up to be close to dinner time. I gave it a 4 star simply because they really need to work on their speed on bringing out the food sooner. I do like to order as much as possible to try on the dishes on the menu but the waiting time was a downer. The lamb chop was overcooked and bit too dry. Rest of the dishes are very good. I like the manager at the bar, he was very attentive. I love the cocktails here and the presentation is very pleasing to the eye. Would I go back? Yes! But I need to make sure I have a long day to spare for them in case they don't improve on their time management.

It's completely Scam. Wrost experience ever we have in canada..We went there on special day and server act like he offered some compliments but at end everything in bill..Ridiculous..Guys it's big Scam.. You just be careful when you ordered because it was just normal conversation regarding Beverges and we were surprised at time when we got on table..$ 25 each..Cmom Man.. Same like we didn't ordered Pulav too but Server said you should try and consider as complimentary Never suggest to anyone go there for dine..aware specially you in big group...not again..Sorry..Seriously $ 250+ for 2 people

First of all, surprised to see Farzi Cafe in Canada, and very good quality of food! Good location in Square one, and decoration is enjoyable. Quiet space for lunch. However the dining experience was a little of disaster. 18% of tips by default and not able to select by yourself, long waiting time for food, and on top of it, be careful to watch out for the receipt as you may find extra item/water, with the 18% service charge of course. Would only recommend for the food

Looking at past reviews it’s clear there are many fake reviews, 14 reviews from only “Matthew” today alone as well as duplicate comments from different names. Suspect. Food was pricey for small portions. Waitstaff were pushy in terms of ordering and service was subpar. Food was good but expensive for the size of the portion. $34 for a cocktail is ridiculous. Make sure you specify you want tap water otherwise they will bring you a $6 bottle of still water

Classic case of getting fooled by a cute Instagram reel promoting Farzi Cafe. As mentioned by several previous reviews... No point of reservations you will have to wait even if you have reserved and God forbid if you are late then expect a wait of 30-40 mins. We were made to sit at the bar and were offered a table after 30mins and several pleads. Those Vedic/ Horoscope cocktails are okay taste wise but overpriced like crazy. And our host tried to upsell everything and gave useless recommendations all targeted to raise our bill. The food was okay with focus just on presentation with average quality and taste. The price does not justify the quantity and quality of food at all. To top it all we were wrongly overcharged for three food items (highlighted in the bill pic) and were rushed to pay and move out due to '90 min at table policy' so couldnt even contest the overcharge. Realized it when we returned home. All 5 star reviews are fake. Will never return and this gimmicky place is not recommended at all. And if you still visit Please check the bill before you leave. Do not trust them at all.

Let me start with the fact that their food presentation is very modern. The food also tastes very good. That been said, I think that the quantity of the food is less compared to the pricing. Also, there are some points to be noted. Our server, Ishmeet, tried to make us order some more expensive cocktails. The bottle of water that they give by default is charged 6$ which they do not mention. Overall, a decent experience with the food and place but some of the hidden pricing and practices were not appreciated. May just go once in a while!

I'm not sure why this place has low ratings. My friends and I had the best time here. They were super accommodating and polite. The staff and service was amazing. The portions were great, we were SO FULL we couldn't even finish our food. I don't know why people like to complain so much! The atmosphere was really cute and the food was so so delicious. I literally only spent $35 here including tip and left with so many leftovers. 10/10. Seems like some people have a personal agenda against this place. I recommend the butter chicken, it was so so filling. And the sliders to share between 3 people was perfect.. they were SO GOOD.

Pathetic experience and service. Need to stop upselling food options and need to start being genuine in their recommendations. The place is really over hyped and does not deserve the attention. Cleanliness and hygiene is zero considering the efforts they put in presentation when it can be simply called paid entertainment using food. The servers tend to use the tongs (that they casually put on the table surface rather than a plate) to handle ice and drinks without gloves, did not see a single server cleaning the tables with disinfectant. On top of that, servers are not very transparent about the menu and the portion size. Also, they should really take reservations seriously unless they do not know what it means. Honestly not worth recommending!

Beautiful space! Great for special occasions. An upscale Indian bistro franchise. This location is inside The Food District within Square One Shopping Centre. It has a big dining room with all style of seating and also patio outdoors as well. The service was lovely but slow paced. Food is tasty but it is pricey. For our party of two, we ordered an appetizer, 2 mains, and 2 non-alcoholic drinks - and it came to $120 for lunch.

I spotted this place in the Food District and decided to try it out with some friends. We got the curry ramen as an appetizer which was excellent - very creamy and full of flavour. For entrees, we got the CTM And Chicken Tikka Masala, Mutton Irrachi Pepper Fry, Hand Pulled Butter Chicken and another mutton dish. They were all okay, the mutton dishes were a little tough and the curry was average. The butter chicken and chicken tikka masala were good but you can never go wrong with these dishes. The atmosphere was really nice and aesthetic however the service was REALLY slow and it took a long time for the waiter to come and take our order/give us the bill. Everything was a bit pricey and some things we’re kinda gimmicky.

Overhyped and overpriced food with complimentary atrocious customer service. Be prepared to wait for 40-45 minutes after ordering and while you are having your food no one will come ask if you need anything. They also will not provide you an option of having tap water but will charge you for bottle of distilled or sparkling water.

I have two positives and six negatives about my experience: Positives 1. Food is tasty. We had beef sliders, chicken biryani, lahori chicken, butter chicken, and gilafi kabab. All were good. 2. Some servers were attentive, particularly the ones in blue shirts. Negatives - I’ll focus solely on all the ways they tried to upsell me during the experience 1. They ask if you want still or sparkling water. While they do have tap water (as all restaurants do), they don’t offer it as an option. Remember to ask for tap water otherwise they’ll charge you $6 a bottle. 2. They tell you that you haven’t ordered enough food. We ordered 5 dishes for 5 people and they said it won’t be enough. We then said we’d add on more later and they said we need to order all at once. We said we’re good with our order then. The food ended up being ample and we had leftovers. 3. When you order certain dishes, they ask you if you want 4 pieces, 8 pieces, etc.. Unlike some restaurants that will have a small surcharge to increase portions, they simply add on multiple orders of the dish. They way they ask makes it confusing to realize. 4. They pressure you to order drinks. I would order a drink, but $18 for a mocktail is absurd. 5. When the bill came, they punched in the total and handed me the terminal. I asked if I could see the receipt. When I did that, he said “oh yeah, I forgot you only ordered one of this dish and didn’t get a bottle of water”. If I hadn’t asked to check, I would have been charged at least $40 more. 6. An 18% gratuity is already added and they don’t mention it to you. When they punch in the total, you’re asked for gratuity again. Be careful with this or you might end up paying 40% in gratuity (18% * 2 compounded) for bad service. To Farzi management, if you want loyal, repeat customers, I highly recommend you change your upselling practices. If you want one time customers, feel free to continue to do what you’re doing.

I recently visited Farzi Cafe for dinner with a friend, and it was a unique experience. The highlight of our meal was definitely the butter chicken – it was delicious with well-balanced flavors. However, it's worth noting that the prices at Farzi Cafe are on the higher side, and great Indian can be found for a lot less. A word of advice to future diners: be specific about your order size. If you don't specify, you might end up with a double portion, which is apparently automatically served for two diners. The cafe has a fantastic ambiance for photography, making it a great spot for Instagram enthusiasts... Although I enjoyed the butter chicken, I feel the overall value doesn't quite match the price, and I'm not sure I would return. A great place to visit at least once for the experience, especially if you're into capturing your dining moments.

This is my honest review of Farzi. We went for a special occasion and the food itself tasted delicious (mushroom pot, malai kofta, daal makhani). 5 stars for taste. The ambience/decor and presentation was very unique (dry ice, modern Pani puri). The music was a bit loud but it was DJ night. The service, upselling/cash grabbing and ridiculous prices however, I did not appreciate. The server was a bit rude and could not fulfill many requests due to circumstances beyond his control (splitting the bill, bringing cold tap water, turning down the music volume). The water they give is $6 from glass bottles (you have to specifically request free tap water). It was also $25 for a mocktail and other drinks, the main dishes were $25-28 as well which is overpriced for the quantity you get. They also tell you to order more than what you need and come by to ask several times about drinks. Lastly, they automatically charge an 18% gratuity tip regardless of # of people which I wouldn’t personally have given but it is what it is. Overall, the food tastes great and their presentation is very unique and modern but I wish they had better service/practices, just beware of how much you want to spend the bill can easily go to $200-$300. It’s good for a night out if you want an expensive, trendy experience.

It was an amazing experience to be honest. Refreshingly new way of food presentation. The food was delicious too. The staff was amazing, specially given that they have such high footfall. Special thanks to Sammy and all staff members for hosting us and making our anniversary, a very special day even more special for us. Overall had a good vibe and great ambience. Would definitely recommend.

I had an absolutely wonderful time here. The food was fantastic, the presentation was unreal, and the vibe and atmosphere and unparalled. Unlike others, I had no delays or waits and was an enjoyable experience through and through. Will definitely be back to try the rest of the menu. I would recommend this place.

It was our first visit to Farzi. Wow! The drinks were fantastic. The food was crazy delicious! And, the presentation of the food was a delight for the eyes as well. The finishing of some of the dishes at the table was really cool (dinner AND a show!) In particular, you don't want to miss the Gulab Jamun 2.0 for dessert - not only is it delicious but the theatrics that come with it, damn! Our waiter Sammy was a great help guiding us through the menu on our first visit. Definitely coming back! Soon.

Got an opportunity to visit Farzi Cafe and tried out the all new delicious menu.. a wide variety of drinks and exquisite dine in dishes .. The food quality was top class and and the drinks were absolutely delicious. You must visit them and try out their new menu. Below are some of the pics I clicked for the same 🔥🔥🔥

You will get Farzified with the food here. The service is top notch. The food is EXPENSIVE but is delicious. This place is specifically curated food per person quantities on the menu. Make sure you order a dish per person to fulfill everyone! Price point for the food is slightly over any fine food place. Putting up nice plating is the key here for overly priced food that you get for cheaper prices elsewhere. Overall a nice cozy place to be at in the heart of Mississuaga!!

This is a place where you first eat with your eyes. Everything was WOW about this place! The drinks were fantastic. The food was delicious. I took a few friend for a treat and they loved it. It’s worth the try. I am definitely coming back. 10/10 for the ambiance, service and quality.

Fantastic. The service alone is amazing, but the food hits the spot every-time. Melt in your mouth, feel good, filling food. The manager always makes sure the customers are having a great experience too. Each dish, each drink, comes with a little show of its own, keeping you entertained till the end. Definitely a family favourite.

Hands down one of the best Indian restaurants in Mississauga. The vibe is great especially on Thursday nights (Ladies nights) as they have a great DJ and some dancing. The food is absolutely amazing and all the food we received was presented aesthetically (great for pics!!) and tasted delicious! Definitely recommend going there & it’s in a convenient location too- in food district at Square One! 10/10

Hey guys, I went today to this place with my friends, Farzi Cafe, for brunch. It's busier on the weekends. I didn't reserve a table in advance, so we had to wait there for about 10 minutes for the table to be available. The atmosphere and the ambiance were amazing. The chair I was sitting on was uncomfortable (for me at least, you may not feel same), but the food was delicious, especially the unique Pani Puri (see photos, the one with fog/smoke). The drink I had was Kapha (coconut drink). It tasted like sweet lassi (if you know what Lassi is, you know what I am talking about). For the main course, we ordered Kali Mirchi Chicken with lachha parantha. It was so tender and creamy. It tasted good. At last, for dessert, we had Shahi Tukda (mango ice cream with rabdi and gulab jamun). It wasn't too sweet, which is a good thing for me, at least. The only thing I don't like is that it's too expensive for the portion size of food. Overall, I liked this place.

What an experience!!!! I recently hosted our Christmas dinner at Farzi Cafe in Mississauga, and it was an outstanding experience! From appetizers to mains, every dish was perfect. The attentive service added to the overall enjoyment. I highly recommend Farzi Cafe for a memorable dining experience. Five stars!

Went here for my mother's birthday lunch. We had a wonderful time! Paras was very informative and walked us through the menu and helped us order what would feed everyone the best and suggested things that would allow us a more authentic experience. Awesome time! Will come again!

The food at Farzi's Cafe was amazing. Had gone with my wife for lunch. Ordered Malabar Prawn Curry, Mutton Rogan Josh & Gilafi Kebab. The one thing that irked us was we were billed $6 for water in spite of requesting plain water. In addition, after the meal, we were quickly asked to provide 5-star rating. Food and ambience were great, but we would appreciate a little more transparency.

The food was really good, and I enjoyed the theatrics. I didn't try a lot of options, but whatever we did was yummy. The ambiance is beautiful. It was a Saturday noon, but we didn't have to reserve in advance. I personally think the price is slightly higher, but if you believe in good presentation and taste, I guess you can forgive that. My only negative would be the service. We started off well with the waiter. He had good suggestions, too. But when we said we turned him down for cocktails, he seemed disappointed, and the energy dropped completely. It's super weird for us. I would also like the Lahori chicken we ate to be boneless. Why make life difficult, eh?

Wish I could give the service and atmosphere more than 5 stars.. what a unique experience of India in canada.. I could feel the delhi vibes. Amazing food.. amazing drinks.. do give their cocktails a try specifically French martini 🍸! Great work guys .. must visit !!!

This place has got a phenomenal vibe. Music is great and mostly Indian. The presentation is unique and you don't generally see that in most Indian restaurants. If you are here on your birthday, you can order a special drink which is presented to you with some mini fireworks and all. The portions are very small and you will need to order at least 3 dishes for 2 people and the food is a bit expensive compared to the rest of the market. But you are paying for the place and the ambience it offers. Food tasted good
