Fandi Mata

“I have nothing but good things to say about this restaurant. I was almost lucky enough to have my wedding here but due to a number of circumstances I was not able to secure the venue- which is so sad because it would have been perfect here. The food is sublime. The atmosphere is so relaxed and the decor is upscale and fun. The owner is an ANGEL!!! I cannot say enough good things about this woman and how much love she put into her establishment. There is not one staff member at Fandi Mata that is unhappy to be here. We were taken care of by Marco, who is an incredible server and made our dinner a genuinely pleasant experience. Please come here if you can- the food is so so good! And if you were thinking of having your wedding here let this review be the reason you do it!”

“We came to Fandi Mata for brunch and had a great experience overall. The food was delicious, and we especially loved the pitcher of the passion fruit cocktail, it was super tasty and refreshing. The space itself is very cool and has a great vibe. The only downside was the DJ/music was way too loud for 1pm brunch, making it really hard to hear each other at the table. Still a fun spot and definitely worth checking out!”

“What a gem! Incredible place with such an atmosphere and attitude! The food was more than amazing! Never miss the chance to try their espresso martini, it had the taste of tiramisu with late afternoon vibe!!! The band was awesome and the service more than great! If you visit NYC, and you are looking for a nice bar and dinner, don’t waste your time and go straight there! Plenty of good wines and champagne on a very acceptable prices, especially for US. In case you want to be sure of feeling hosted in the best way, ask for Danillo!”

“Came to Fandi Mats for an 8it app Family Meal event so my experience is strictly from that event’s perspective. I was SO impressed by the space, the attentive staff and the energy of the space. Just as much credit goes to Steve and Mac the founders of the 8it app as it does to the restaurant for creating an amazing experience for those who work in the dining industry. They really took care of us last night. Upon arrival, I was taken aback by the beauty of the space. It was all setup for the Dia de Los Muertos themed event, with candles and dancers in character floating around the space. The event had a tequila tasting from Dobel, an Aperol bar, and the best margaritas. The winner of Top Chef Mexico, Carmen Miranda a generational tamalera who still prepares her handmade tamales with extreme care in a labor of love one week process. This was a pop up that needs to be permanent. The staff made sure there wasn’t a single empty glass or plate on any table as we feasted the night away to a female DJ/percussionist duo. Definitely have to try it the place out on a non event night to get a true taste of it. Thanks team for taking care of the industry last night!”

“Overall rating: 4.3 So I’ve had this place saved for years based off a tiktok that claimed they had a great happy hour. That was a lie. The space is so beautiful but since I came here for the happy hour, I was very disappointed with limited options. A cocktail flight of 3x for $20 is okay, but Im also not trying to get drunk at 5pm. $6 for a cocktail would have been preferred. Also the drinks are too sweet and I only liked one of them. The bartenders were nice, but it wasn’t the spot for me solo. Maybe a date.”
