Fandi Mata - Brooklyn (NY)

5 /5 Stinson Parks III: 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!

4 /5 Catherine Cruz: Great vibes, good music but not too loud you can’t hear eachother. Food was soo good! The croquetas are def worth it, the platter was soo good and fresh. We had the branzino it was nice and fresh, the steak was nice and juicy. The Brussels sprouts were delicious!! Drinks are also really tasty, we had the Goodnight Adeline not so Smokey like mezcal, lighter and tasty. Also the Big in Japan was so good like a strawberry lemonade for adults. Alex and Danilo were excellent servers - everything came so fast, great service and ambiance and food!

5 /5 Alaric Qin: The food was amazing! Danilo, his manager, and the rest of the team went above and beyond in kindness, service, food quality, and positivity. A top dining experience for us. Well be back again.

5 /5 Gloria Ventura: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Had an amazing brunch at Fandi Mata! The space is absolutely beautiful with a gorgeous atmosphere that sets the perfect vibe. The food was excellent—flavorful, fresh, and beautifully presented. Our server, Dajana, was so attentive and sweet, making the whole experience even better. She went above and beyond with her great service. To top it off, we even got shots to celebrate our girls’ brunch! Such a fun and memorable experience. Can’t wait to come back!

2 /5 Lara Nini: Came here for brunch with an old family friend this past Sunday. The live music was nice, a great addition to the restaurant. The venue and ambiance is lovely. The food was not good. I had the steak with potatoes and a drink that I could not remember the name of in spite of coming here days ago. The steak was a bit chewy and the potatoes were strange, I couldn’t understand the taste of everything in the skillet. The deviled eggs appetizer was good. The Paloma Picante cocktail was not very good, u barely finished it. My friend had the French toast. I believe she liked it, but again, the food did not wow me. The restaurant was half empty this pasty Sunday. I can not say I would return. This might be one of my worst restaurant experiences in reference to food alone.
