  • Fariyal & Friends feat. Nasim Lahbichi & Jae Bae

    Jun 26, 2025 only
    On Thursday, June 26th, Fariyal Abdullahi, Executive Chef of Hav & Mar will be bringing another installation of her series Fariyal & Friends, founded to uplift and showcase underrepresented voices in the culinary industry. Fariyal & Friends brings together chefs, beverage professionals, and creatives to celebrate diverse perspectives, foster mentorship, and create meaningful industry connections. For this collaboration she will be joining forces for a special one-night-only menu featuring Nasim Lahbichi & Jae Bae in celebration of Pride Month Nasim Lahbichi and Jae Bae are native New Yorkers who infuse their diverse and vibrant cultures into their salacious recipes and mouth-watering libations. Jae, from @Jarbae, is a mixologist and recipe developer. As a Korean American born in NY, his drinks are as eclectic as his upbringing, drawing from savory, unique, and downright experimental takes on classic cocktails. His work has been featured in Bon Appétit and he recently graced the cover of Edible Manhattan’s Spring issue. Jae hopes that his recipes shed light on the flavors that don’t often get served in a bar, to highlight the drinks that feel like new and home, all in one sip. Nasim, the creative force behind @Lahbco, is a recipe developer, soon-to-be cookbook author, and culinary innovator. Drawing from his Puerto Rican-Moroccan upbringing, he shares vibrant, multicultural recipes that celebrate flavor and heritage. His work has been featured in Food Network, I-D Magazine, and Eater, also gracing the cover of Edible Brooklyn. Through his cooking and storytelling, Nasim aims to curate welcoming spaces where folks can gain a sense of power in the kitchen and at the table—safe, seen, and truly at home, wherever they are.

    Courteous service. Delicious food. My husband and I enjoyed the HAVATINI 2.0 (pasta with seafood), ADDIS YORK (Ethiopian bread with green and fried chicken). The side order of greens with sausage was awesome as was the pavlova with fresh fruit for dessert. We highly recommend a visit.

    Food was fabulous - many many layers of flavors. Bread basket as good as its reputation! Did the crudo trio and the jubilee for a table of four and it was delicious. Michael and Tia and their team went above and beyond!

    Hav & Mar has been on my list of restaurants to try when visiting NYC for over a year, after reading about it in a food magazine. It did not disappoint - everything about our dinner there was outstanding! The unique fusion of Scandinavian and Ethiopian foods, along with the beautiful decor and top-notch staff, made for a really special and memorable evening with my 15 yr old grandson.

    The food was great. The place is a little airport restaurant-like. And the staff needs more training.

    The ambient of the restaurant feels relaxing and spacious. Our wait persons are friendly and professional. The menu is a bit hard to understand because we are not familiar with the products mentioned in the menu. Our server answered all the questions in the easy understanding and help us tremendously making the decision. Turned the dishes we picked are all delicious. It was an an-ominous decision that the Havatine 2 is the most delicious dish. We ordered 3 main dishes and 2 appetizers and the bread basket for 4 persons but we could not finish all the dishes.

Our server was outstanding He made suggestions on what to order and since I can’t have dairy he advised me of the food items that I couldn’t have The Tuna Tartare was delicious and The presentation was beautiful My husband had the blue cornbread and he loved it! For our entrees I had the Pan seared Black Bass an excellent choice My husband had the Roasted Half Chicken and enjoyed every bite We had to try the Hav Fries and they were delicious Since it was my birthday we had to order dessert and the meringue with berries our server suggested was perfect!
