We had such a great experience at Frena! We were seated right away with no wait, and the drinks were delicious and strong. The food was amazing especially the signature lamb dish and the branzino, both cooked perfectly and full of flavor. The staff was super polite and attentive, and the vibe is cute, clean, and romantic. Definitely coming back!

5/5. My wife and I really enjoyed it. Food and service were really great. My one complaint was the table is kind of small and everything is tight but that is NYC for you. Overall every dish we got was flavorful and enjoyable. Gotta try the dips etc, see pictures for reference.

We went to Frena for brunch, and it was such a special experience. As a Moroccan, eating their Moroccan donuts instantly brought me back to my childhood!! so so good, and honestly worth the visit just for that item on the menu. The shawarma and hummus bowl was absolutely delicious, and I can never get enough of their labne dip. It’s truly the best labne I’ve ever had!

What an amazing indulgence of textures and flavors. My shrimp in an iron skillet was the sweetness of the ocean with the savory and goodness of olive oil and flavors. The Za’atra scallops was both creamy and light crispy texture with the full taste of the sea and the creamy pesto to balance a sense of woodlands. This is a must try encounter. So amazing. The service was wonderful and kind and polite.My server Jorge was kind , polite and very attentive. I felt like royalty.

Spectacular flavors, creatively delivered at a reasonable for NYC price. Lovely, lively interior. The lamb was amazing, cigars likewise. Great salads, drinks, service! Wow!

Enjoyed our meal at Frena overall however there were a few detractors that caused me to give a lower rating. Given the delicious food I might go back again as it is a different offering close to the theatre district.
The pros:
Food was excellent!
Service attentive and honest.
The cons:
Payment system error – pay attention
Not timely if you are heading to a show – aggravated further due to incorrect order.
Hostess lovely and acknowledged we were there for my friend’s birthday.
I reserved the “chef’s area” as it was advertised as the place to see the activity of the kitchen which is typically a special experience. The exact wording from Resy – “The Chef’s Area offers views of the kitchen and a more intimate dining experience.” Upon arrival we were directed to a table for two permitting only one person any type of view and the other would have their back to the “kitchen.” Thankfully as we were there early prior to heading to a show. I spied a corner table and we were able to switch. As I looked around, I realized that the “kitchen view” was a view of the wood burning oven and food exiting the kitchen for service and service staff milling about to receive food to place on tables. Definitely not my typical experience of a chef’s area or kitchen view. Suggest they remove that seating option on their site as it is deceiving.
We told our waiter we needed to leave by 6:30pm as soon as we were seated at 5:10pm. We quickly ordered sambusak – spiced cheese bread, falafel, Moroccan cigars and the special fish entree. Initial dishes came out timely and were delicious. Then our entree arrived at 6:16pm which was fine as we could head out immediately after eating it quicker than we would have liked. However, it was the wrong dish. So it took time to find our server who apologized And went to make a swap – another special fish was in the oven for another table so we would have to wait. Our dish arrived at 6:26pm and we quickly ate it. Definitely no time for any birthday dessert celebration for my friend. In the meantime I also asked for the check and they kindly comped the one glass of wine ordered. I quickly paid and then realized that while I gave a generous tip of 22% because the server so quickly apologized for the entree order mistake and owned it, my card was charged much more than it should be. Had to have a manager come to look and sure enough the system charged a 33% tip! So this had to be corrected and now I have to monitor my card to make sure it is appropriately charged. After looking at the receipt, I realized that the tip was charged on the full order including the mistaken dish.

We had the drip trio of hummus, baba ganoush, and matbucha with the frena bread, and it was delicious. The bread was freshly baked and the dips were incredibly flavorful. Even sharing this between 3 people was plenty.
We also had the Roman style artichokes which were fantastic, the crispy zucchini cakes, and Madagascar shrimp kadayif which I’d recommend. The dessert – the halva silan sundae, was amazing. Everything was fresh, cooked well to order, and the kitchen accommodated making 3 of some items (like the shrimp) for 3 of us instead of their normal 2. And the waiters and manager were very attentive.
The manager, Ailin Yang, was also awesome and gave us fantastic recommendations. She learned that my wife and I recently got married and gave us complimentary champagne which was very sweet.
10/10 will recommend this place to others and will also come back for brunch!

very good food: bread was crunchy, hummus was flavorful, and our main ordera were perfection. very large portions but it was super good.
points off because there was a consistant high-pitched noise throughout our entire meal? it was very distracting and made me very uncomfortable. we were also sat directly next to the kitchen so there was a lot of extra noise in general.

Frena is definitely a friend to me!
I mean that literally…
“Frena is a traditional Moroccan bread, baked in a local communal oven, on top of burning hot pebbles. This bread has a thin crust and a fluffy crumb, absolutely delicious!”
“Yes carbs are the enemy but we are suppose to love thy neighbors and thy enemies and I love thine bread!”
Like most of my city restaurant experiences, Frena was a random pick. On a Sunday in June, I happened to pull into a parking spot across from Frena and just like that, I decided to give them a try.
Upon entry the decor is beautiful, perfect for a date or a group event. You feel like you are dining in a private garden with the cascading plants off of the ceiling around the bar. Instantly you want to sit and stay for a while.
I started with a “Birds of a Feather” a signature cocktail made with Bourbon Rum. A perfect choice, it was well balanced and refreshing without being too sweet.
In addition an order of Hummus w/ Frena bread and Duo of Falafel was placed. The Hummus was absolutely delish, you can eat it by the spoonful, but the Frena bread was simply amazing. Order extra you will need it and it will be worth both the extra carbs and the extra charge. The Falafels are green herb and sweet potato falafel with tahini and mango chutney. Both were good, but admittedly, I enjoyed the sweet potato falafel with the mango chutney more than the traditional. They had a subtle sweet taste with a nice unexpected departure from the earthy flavor of the green herbs.
Of course the indulgence of the Hummus and Frena bread made it difficult to continue as capacity had been reached. However, an order of Schnitzel Shishi had arrived. Schnitzel Shishi a breaded crispy chicken flatbread with a shifka aioli and pickled red cabbage slaw. The schnitzel was both packed and traveled well. The server offered to pack the dish when it arrived noticing that we could not possibly consume another morsel.
Service was attentive and swift with serval staff members tending to the table. Some members were a little more engaging than others but overall no complaints.
Just A Note:
– The Hummus and Frena bread is a MUST. Thank me later!
– A Brunch Menu is available.
