Al Farid - Exeter
Al Farid
Description
Al-Farid restaurant, located in a cramped historical building, offers an unlimited meze option that was enjoyed by a group of six diners. However, some were disappointed by the limited meat options and the need to pay extra for certain dishes. Despite this, the restaurant is still recommended for those who enjoy unlimited salads and specific meze dishes. The Moroccan cuisine served has received mixed reviews, with one diner feeling let down by the lack of authentic flavors. On a positive note, the food and service were praised by others, with special mention of the delicious dishes, attentive staff, and beautiful atmosphere. Many diners recommend Al-Farid for its authentic Middle Eastern food, friendly service, and unique dining experience, making it a must-visit restaurant in Exeter.

I had never tried Moroccan food before, but I'm an adventurous eater and had heard great things about this place from friends who had gone for dinner the
More walking around Exeter - we were planning to go to a Thai restaurant but we saw this place nearly next door - the two places are in the Three Gables,
What a gem of a restaurant. Authentic Middle Eastern food. A fusion of Moroccan, Persian and Lebanese cuisines. The lamb tagline and jujeh kebab were incredible. As were the mezzes. The fig and goats cheese filo was amazing. Service was great. Shannon was so attentive and friendly. Would highly recommend this restaurant.
We had a wonderful time dining at Al Farid Restaurant for the first time. The homemade food was delicious, the service was excellent, and the ambiance was authentically beautiful. Our group of 8 ordered a variety of Mezze and tagine dishes, and there was enough food for everyone. We were impressed by the numerous vegetarian and vegan options available. We highly recommend dining at this restaurant. Thank you.
I visited this restaurant for lunch with my family and it was a great choice. We opted for the set menu for 4 people, and the starters were so filling that they could have been a main course on their own. For the main course, we ordered the mixed shish and two tagines - one with lamb and one vegetarian. The meat was cooked perfectly, with the lamb literally falling off the bone. It felt like a lavish feast. To end the meal, we enjoyed a refreshing mint tea.
