Farhan

Kebab shops are rare in this stretch of Lower Manhattan. Farhan brings that scarcity to an end at 200 Liberty Street, New York, NY 10281, where the scent of charcoal and spice drifts across the Financial District sidewalks.

Here, skewers emerge from the grill in quick succession—chicken, lamb, beef, and a mix of vegetables threaded between cubes of marinated meat. The menu stays close to the classics: seekh kebabs, shami kebabs, and a platter that pairs rice with grilled protein and a side of raita. A phone call ahead to +92 334 7549944 can shave minutes off the wait when the lunch rush hits.

The Financial District keeps its own clock, and Farhan fits neatly into the rhythm. Office workers duck in for a quick bite, while others linger over mint chutney and fresh naan. The neighborhood’s towering glass facades contrast with the shop’s modest storefront, a quiet reminder that not every meal here comes with a skyline view.

Directions are simple: follow the map here and look for the awning above the door.
