Indian Kitchen in Ballymena

One of the best dining experiences I’ve had in a very long time. The staff is absolutely wonderful. The moment you walk through the door and encounter Michelle, we were in awe. Lorenzo made our brunch extra special, he was that engaging. The entire staff is wonderful. We have found our spot….. thank you everyone.

As a local, Ive been coming here since they opened. Always top notch service, ingredients and atmosphere.. the staff all work very hard to bring a higher experience. Including staying after they’re technically closed to let people finish at will. The prices reflect a local farm like fresh menu, so yes its a tad higher than your average breakfast/brunch joint. Also! dont forget about the craft cocktails and coffees. pro-tip : park in the back lot and walk up thru the walkway.

My fiancé and I came for brunch to celebrate my birthday. Our entire experience from first calling to walking out the door was entirely amazing and I felt incredibly special. Our server, Nicole, was outstanding and offered great suggestions. We’ve been patrons for years and have never had a bad meal here, but they truly knocked it out of the park today (as they always do!!)

Gina and Lorenzo took great care of us! We had a cute booth by the window, the decor is beautiful, and the food was outstanding. We had their fantastic bennies and hot honey chicken sami.

Great food great mood. Excellent service

Delicious and want to go back and try other items. They serve breakfast and lunch and it looks like they have tons and tons of delicious boozy drinks. The restaurant is in an old part of town that's been fixed up that's very pleasant and there's some other nice restaurants around there too plenty of street parking handicap space right in front lots of sunlight. Street parking is for 1 hour and is free if you're going to stay longer you can walk about a block back and there's a big public lot you can park in as well.

I visited on Saturday at 9 am with two friends. We ordered the Frittata, Waffle and Chicken Benedict, and the special Prosciutto Benedict. The poached eggs were cooked perfectly, and we especially enjoyed the handmade green spicy sauce! The coffee was just right! Our server was a middle-aged woman who was well-disciplined, attentive, and kind.

The food is fantastic and this is definitely the top spot for brunch in the area. Because of this though the waits can be insane. We live down the road and have not been as much as we like because of the very long waits. Waits can be 2+ hours so be prepared. Lastly servers and the hostess sometimes will act as if you are a burden especially if you are bringing in your kids. I think sometimes they forget they are located in the suburbs who almost everyone has children that is coming in. This is not the case every time but sometimes services can be rude and short with you for no reason. Overall it’s a fantastic spot and we are lucky to have it in town. Just wish waits would be shorter which is not their fault and that service can be more friendly consistently.

For starters I have a toddler , they have a lunch box filled with miscellaneous toys,books,flashcards,magna tiles , I have never seen this anywhere, it definitely helped for entertainment. The food was all delicious and fresh , so many flavors well combined. I had a blueberry pancake perfectly crispy on the edges and moist and fluffy in the center. It didn't just taste like a pancake it was a delicious dessert . The chicken sandwich juicy flavorful perfect presentation. The chicken and waffles benni was amazing as well , creamy flavorful . Over all we were extremely satisfied.

This place never disappoints. I had to take 1 star off because there’s always over an hour wait and they don’t take reservations but if you are willing to wait you won’t be disappointed. Food is always on point and service is great too! We love going there for a nice brunch on Sundays.

My dentist referred this place to me as a nice place to eat. They had a few selections which were alright. Tried the Eggs Benedict with turkey sausage( basically non existent) and sweet potatoes. First the dish came out warm, again looking for the turkey, bread base was too soft and not too much taste. Unfortunately not impressed..but won't tell my dentist.

What a charming place. Our waiter Lorenzo could not have been more pleasant and accommodating. We arrived shortly before closing and there was no rush to move us along. The food was amazing. It was a great meet up place for our family coming from north and south of the area. If you are ever in the vicinity be sure to stop in. You will not be disappointed.

Great food! Took my kids with me to check it out. We had tried a couple times to get in for breakfast but they were really busy and we couldn't get a table. Decided this time to go right when they open. SO glad we did! The menu is unique and food was fantastic. We will be back!

We were a party of 4 adults and 3 children. A woman entered after me and hostess told her it was OK that members of her party of 4 were arriving late, that there was plenty of room and she didn't have to wait. I was told there was not enough room for 7 and that our wait time would be 1 hour and a half to possibly longer. I said we would take 2 tables instead because children were hungry. She said she didn't recccommend it and would not do it. So our party of seven decided to wait outside and discuss why 12 people after us arrived and were seated. Next to window was a table with plenty of room for all of us and they seated 2 there. My daughter was told they could not seat us unless someone stood up to leave. They finally found a table same size as one by window in the back after only 30 minutes. We ordered and spent $250.00 for our breakfast. The food was great but the hostess was horrendous and just plain rude. I'm sure they have plenty of business from locals and don't want out of towners. Thank goodness someone in our party worked in the industry and was able to turn things around so we could eat there instead of traveling to another spot 30 minutes away.

Worked with my wife's dairy allergies and the food was delicious! Long long long wait times. Just be prepared to wait

The sweet potato hash was delicious and memorable.

This place continues to blow my mind every time I come. The food is SO amazing, fresh and also locally grown. They also change their menus every season and offer a variety of unique options on the menu including their drinks. One of the best brunch places I’ve ever been!!! My favorite spot.

Felt like with a name like the farmers daughter it wouldn't be so upscale but it was so fricken uppity don't think u can go there and be normal because people are putting their cloth napkins on their laps like they are the king and queens of fricken england looking at you like your not from here don't be here horrible feeling but good food

Well I’ve officially realized that the Phantom Gourmet taste is in their shoes. This is the second time I’ve gone to a place they recommended. Let’s talk about the smashed potato hash brown. I’m thinking something different. It’s pushed or smashed red bliss potatoes dry and unseasoned, the French toast is absolutely disgusting. The orange zest out powers the vanilla and it tastes gross. But what they do have is a great staff and a very nice atmosphere. I won’t return there again.

I WISH I COULD EXPLAIN HOW GOOD THIS REALLY IS!! Me and my (future) husband enjoyed our valentines brunch here. This was his first time, my third. The wait will always be worth it for the food. The flavor, the plating, the quality, THE EVERYTHING. Truly have never been able to find brunch better than this. Props to the chef and the team at The Farmers Daughter. Thanks for making our taste buds fall in love. Sincerely, Chef Sid.

I love eating at Farmer's daughter and the food is delicious. Definitely one of my favorite place for brunch.

I've been here a few times and finally decided to drop my review. You won't be disappointed if you are looking for something different and delicious. Weekdays are easier to get a table without long wait. On the weekends the wait time can be pretty long especially if you have a big party, however might be worth the wait. The food is excellent and so are the cocktails. This time I tried the Warm French Toast Martini, a warm cocktail, it tasted soooo good. My daughter had the pancakes which was delicious as always. I had Hold The Yolks Omelet it was good as well. I would highly recommend visiting this place.

Hello !! We absolutely loved the food !!! I wasn’t a fan of the atmosphere but next time I’ll sit by the bar. I found the chairs truly uncomfortable & literally thought they bought these so people wouldn’t camp. Very smart !! The coffee mugs need to go & I shouldn’t have to tell you why, try drinking the coffee out of them. It didn’t phase me for I drank enough at home before we went. Lisa was our waitress, she was personable & yet professional. She’s born to be good at this job. The scone she explained & we got it, lovely to try , I’d put more sauce on it. I got the waffle Chicken Benedict thing on her recommendation, for it’s def not my thing but oh was it awesome. Every ingredient perfectly cooked & literally complimented each other. I have no idea what my friend got for I split mine immediately & said you need to eat this, take yours home. We got the virgin Mary’s & yummy !!! Lisa was truly top notch & we shall return !! Thank you !! Deb & Connie

Everytime I go there, the hostess shoes me away, for instance , at 12 pm I went with my son, to have a late breakfast, she was snotty and said there’s a 2 hour, wait , who the heck wants to wait to 2 pm to eat breakfast, it’s beyond , ridiculous, and she was rude about it , the food is great there haven’t had it in awhile and my son and I were looking to have it, and I know customers don’t take 2 hours to sit and eat … they need to provide better hospitality than that ..

Middle area dining was a little awkward to sit in during busy hours but the food was great! Friendly staff!! Will come again.

I really liked this place. For starters there's always a long wait list, but people don't seem to bother, everyone knows that and it's worth it. There are some walkable areas around while you wait, so no problem there. The food is very good and locally sourced. Service is top notch, crew is very friendly (and even smiled at my really bad dad jokes), and the place is really nice. People come in here in no hurry and everyone is seen enjoying not only the food, but their time spent here. Really recommend, the food is made with love and care and you won't regret the wait.

Incredible food. Really wonderful place. Plenty of variety and interesting (really tasty) combinations. Definetly worth a try.

Long wait, noisy inside due to the full house. The parking is not good. But, the food is great! Clean ingredients and well presented. The staff is competent and friendly. I recommend this place for good food without the normal pesticides you find elsewhere. They also serve organic coffee to complement the local farm food.

The food was delicious, hot and flavorful. Yes, we did wait for awhile but it was worth it. Our server was attentive and kind. The fried chicken benedict was phenomenal and seasonal skillet cornbread pancake was killer. My husband appreciated the homemade hollandaise sauce.

The food and atmosphere is incredible every time we go!

Upon arriving was met with a very frosty hostess who was just rude. That detracted from the experience. Food and service inside was great but the frosty hostess just ruined the experience so will leave it a while before going back.

Jessica & Chrissy were our servers and they were so sweet, polite and attentive! This type of service is rare these days. I ordered the Chicken & waffles hollandaise - Hands down, the best breakfast I’ve ever had in my life. Wow. The entire meal was prepared beautifully and cooked to absolute perfection. The portion size was perfect! Not too big, not too small. The fresh squeezed orange juice was just so refreshing. You can easily tell they use only the highest quality ingredients. Every bite I took was better than the last. I HIGHLY recommend The Farmers Daughter diner. This is the first time since Covid that I’ve been impressed with my experience at a restaurant. 10/10 recommend this spot and 10/10 I will definitely be eating here again!!! Love love love.

This place does not take reservations, and you have to be present to place your name on the waitlist. The first time I tried going here, the wait was two hours, so I tried again at opening on Friday and was able to get a table right away. However, it was still crowded, so I got lucky! There is bar seating as well as tables. Heads up that you will definitely come out of here smelling like a grill (but it's okay because this place is worth it). I got the hazelnut oolong latte which was on the special menu for the day, and I absolutely loved it! The hazelnut was oo oo good. I hope it makes its way onto the main menu because I would get it again. For food, I got the chicken & waffle benedict and brioche French toast. The chicken & waffle benedict was the best I've ever had. The waffle and eggs were cooked perfectly, and the bacon jam was jammin'. I did not enjoy the brioche French toast at all because it was incredibly thick and dry. However, the chicken & waffle benedict was good enough that I could overlook that. My waiter was also incredibly welcoming and sweet.

My husband an I come here when we can and everything. Is always delicious! Lorenzo, our server, was amazing as was the roasted pear French toast and spiked nog drink he recommended! Highly recommend!

Hands down one of the best places for breakfast I have ever been to.

LOVE LOVE LOVE this place. Always a fabulous meal!! Definitely worth the wait and the $$. Chicken and Waffles Benedict is fabulous. Also appreciated when I asked the server for a to-go cup for my coffee, she brought a fresh cup out in a to-go cup.

Employee gave us a dirty look and said 1 hour and 30 minute wait when theres no one waiting in front of us and empty tables within eye sight. Very odd place.

10/10 would definitely go back. Service was excellent, food was spot on, and the drinks were blended just right.

The gluten free French toast was hands down the BEST French toast I've ever had, gluten free or not!!! The service and owner were incredibly friendly and attentive. The restaurant decor kept me looking around and taking in all the great ideas. It's definitely a place you want to spend some time in although it's quite busy and there was a wait. The only catch- it's a little pricey$$

Does it get any better? Fabulous food! Impeccable service! Been visiting lately and am thoroughly impressed with the food & service! Jackie, Jess & Pam on the bar are so impressive with their service! Sadly I can only make it 2 days a week. But I enjoy those days!

Cozy, relaxing atmosphere, I would easily vote this one of the best breakfast places in New England !

Excellent service! Delicious food & Bloody Mary!

Had a great brunch experience sitting outside. Food was creative and excellent. Service was attentive and friendly.

The breakfast was delicious and very fresh. Its better to make reservations early to get a table quickly but its worth the waiting. I really recommend it.

I wanted a treat today, so I went back-My second time here. I do not like to eat out, but once in a while I do and I'm VERY particular where I eat. The Food here is so tasty and fresh- no chemical taste. The service is very friendly and nice. I still love it. I will be back again.

Chicken and waffles... best in New england and probably the best I've ever had

Excellent service food is awesome, make a reservation prior because is always full

I have sampled many restaurants, but none of them give off a captivating aura like TFD. I've brought family and friends to dine here and occasionally to have breakfast before school. The food is presented with unbelievably remarkable flavors. Not only that, but the staff is as cordial as they come!

We had a rather disappointing experience during Saturday brunch, which is quite unfortunate as it coincided with my first anniversary celebration. As a resident of the area, I was confident that this place was worth the wait. However, after 1 hour and 50 minutes, the quality of the food turned out to be below average. The most disappointing aspect of the occasion was undoubtedly the service provided. Both the hostess and the waitress displayed a rather unpleasant demeanor. Sadly, the experience was not worth the wait. On a more positive note, I had previously enjoyed a great dining experience on a weekday, which makes it even more disheartening that Saturday's wait did not live up to expectations.

Went here for brunch with my friends we had a great time. The wait wasn’t at all bad, the food was great, we all loved it.

Going to this place for brunch feels like going to war! We have tried going here maybe 10 times and have only actually been seated 3 times because the wait is ALWAYS too long, sometimes up to two hours! When you're seated and served, it is wonderful! I would love to come here more with friends and family but the long wait times are too unreliable. Please start using reservations!

The restaurant looks so nice and tidy. I love the food, I had the squash + avocado toast, it tasted great! But the coffee is very normal.

Top notch cocktails with local sourced dishes. Very impressive hamburger and side salad. The server was attentive and helpful with some delicious suggestions. Fabulous coffee cocktails.

Fantastic bloody Mary’s, awesome eggs, delicious chicken and waffles - get here early and make sure you’re hungry because this place will leave you full

Always excellent food. Anything you get there is absolutely delicious. I recommend any style Benedict and try their homemade hot sauce flight! There is a wait, but once you try the food, you'll see why!

This breakfast restaurant is typically packed and for good reason. The ingredients are mostly farm to table. The freshness is apparent in taste and quality. The service is excellent, the food is excellent and you can't really ask for anything else...except a lower price. I can easily have a $60 breakfast for one here. I've had breakfast here as a treat to myself which is typically once a quarter. I have not had anything bad here. Even the coffee is good in my opinion. Just note that this place tends to get PACKED so you may have difficulty in getting seated.

It was very disappointing to have to leave today because the hostess was so rude and condescending. We always choose to celebrate family birthdays here and will never come back after the way we were treated. I can’t justify giving money to an establishment and be verbally abused at same time.

Atmosphere is great. Wait staff were awesome. My eggs were over cooked. Asked over easy and they came out well done.

I don’t write a lot of reviews but this dish was silly-good. Can’t recommend enough. If you don’t live close by, it’s worth the dive. If you are local and haven’t been yet, I question your priorities. 10/10

Good service and great food ...

This is my absolute favorite place to go to for breakfast/ brunch. The food is healthy- with the freshest ingredients and herbs, tasty- enough spices and sauce, and well prepared- right temperature. I tried different dishes most of times but their Benedicts and French toasts are super delicious. Cocktail- from espresso martinies to mimosas- fantastic 👌 The rustic interior is additional feature and plus, customer service is always on point, everyone is welcoming, interactive and super helpful. The wait is long but definitely worth it !!

There's a very good reason why there is a 90 minute wait. Place is awesome.

Una experiencia muy buena la comida muy deliciosa y la atención excelente. Quedamos muy satisfechos y con ganas de regresar

The only bad thing is that you can't make reservations so your in for a wait

I have been longing to go to Farmer's daughter for so long and could never find the time to. I finally made it and I could not be happier. Everything is made fresh and with care. Food tasted amazingly good and the drinks we had were also well balanced. I will definitely come back especially for more coquitos. Our waitress was the kindest and most caring person we've met.

Consistently good and really creative daily specials. The staff is always friendly and ensures a great dining experience.

Been here a few times now. Food is good you know the quality you'd get. Very generous portions

Absolutely exceptional! High quality fresh ingredients that make a delicious dish. Perfect for anyone who is looking for a healthy breakfast. Lorenzo was very welcoming and went above and beyond accommodating my many food allergies, and gave me great suggestions on the menu. Will definately be back!

Me and my woman came here for brunch because I’m very picky when choosing to go out to eat & THIS place looked like exactly what I was looking for! Farm to table, local, fresh, homemade food by chefs and an amazing, different, exciting menu! Our experience did NOT disappoint. All the food came out as ordered and tasted just as good as it looked! The scrambled eggs were fluffy and perfect, the bacon was actually cooked crispy like my lady asked it to be, and they have real butter (not margarine) as well as fresh jelly. The potatoes were amazing as well (soft on the inside, crunchy on the outside and seasoned just right!!) We ordered mimosas as well and you could taste the fresh OJ! We would’ve order one of their many coffee drinks for “dessert” but we were stuffed! Our service was spot on. We will be returning guaranteed and with others next time!

The food was delicious, great environment... Had to wait for 2 hrs for 6 people.

Good food, impeccable service. Can't go wrong with your selection. Just be prepared to wait a bit, popular place.

Stopped by for breakfast. Brioche French Toast was great. Lose your pants banana pancakes were good, just not as good as the French Toast. Place is unique and it comes with a cost.

The food here is always consistent and delicious. The brioche French toast is perfectly made. The bacon is cooked to perfection and then glazed lightly. The farmers choice is the best choice. The maple ham is country smoked just enough to bring out the flavors. Not to forget the amazing Bloody Mary’s and mimosa’s. Just make sure you get there early or there will be a wait on the weekends. Worth the wait though

Highest quality breakfast around. Good menu, everything I’ve had has been delicious. The coffee is excellent. I haven’t tried the breakfast cocktails but they look.creative.

I would eat their chicken and waffles... Every day for the rest of my life. My only complaint is that my stomach was not large enough to accommodate more food.

I loved eating here. Everything was so fresh, the staff was wonderful, absolutely no complaint AND I have a restaurant that I know I can take my foodie friends to.

What can I say other than "WOW." From the moment we walked, in the atmosphere was perfect. Rustic and homey. We were seated quickly, by the most attentive wait staff we have encountered at a breakfast establishment. Our waitress knew every aspect of that menu and made recommendations from how to best order our mimosas (which were the perfect juice to alcohol ratio) to the food we ordered. As a party of four, we all ordered different meals and can say the food was flawless. I got the brioche french toast. Talk about indulgence. The rest of the table got various forms of omelets and eggs with avocado. I think we talked about the experience and food the entire ride back to NH. Oh the sous chef, Derek, even came out so we could compliment him! Derek is a genius. From plating to taste this was a wildly top-notch experience. Derek created a small custom app for us to try that was mind-boggling. All in all. Make the Trip. Do it. It's worth it. We will be driving back there on more than one occasion. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. I'm sad to say I have no pictures; the food didn't last long enough for those despite the monstrous portions. Thank you to The Farmer's Daughter Crew

Great Atmosphere !! Great People !! Unbelievable Food !!! Stopped here randomly. Hands down the best breakfast ever. Shout out to Lorenzo A true gentleman and professional

If you’re in the South shore area I would definitely recommend the deliciousness of this place.

This place was amazing. I would recommend it for brunch because the portion sizes were pretty big. The service was a bit slow but they were really busy and really kind about it so it was a non-issue. They have some great drinks including a French hot chocolate and and offer fresh orange juice for their mimosas. Please like this is it was helpful. Food tasted better than it looks.

One of my favorite spots in the area. Best if you go really early in the morning. It’s always busy—-for good reason. The food is delicious and fresh as well as the drink menu!

They have the absolute best food ever! The people are very nice and the restaurant is very clean!

Great brunch place! Creative drinks and delicious food

The Best chicken and waffles ever

Pancakes were good but a little cake like, but the price was beyond insane. I don't mint spending but a little over $12 for a glass of orange juice is just insane. Neat place but I'll be going somewhere else and save the seats for the people that love it here

The only thing to top the amazing food was the service by Lorenzo!! Great experience

this food was so disgusting. im literally not even picky i ordered french toast and it wasnt even cooked all the way and didnt look like french toast, and i also ordered the chicken and waffles the waffles tasted like straight onions and the chicken was unseasoned tasted like my old schools chicken the only good thing that i ate there was bacon and my hot chocolate was nasty. i literally do not recommend, my mom ordered salmon benedict and the salmon wasnt cooked all the way its like they rushed or there was a new chef. i am not happy with the food that i ate i couldve used 75$ on something way more worth it. OVERRATED!

The pancakes always start a riot with my family because no one wants to share.

Good golly, this was an amazing experience. Requested a seat outside because I'm still covid-cautious, was immediately seated and service was very fast, even though it was definitely on the busier side. I got the chicken and waffle eggs benedict and the warm French toast martini. What can I say except that it was a spiritual experience. Yep. I'm a foodie, not afraid to sound weird. And yep. I'll be back, that's for sure.

Delicious, excellent service, amazing menu, always packed, be ready to wait a few minutes depending on the rush. The wait is worth it!!

Farmers Daughter typically never disappoints me. However, today was different!!! 😩I had the bright idea of placing a pickup order. When I picked up the order I rushed home to devour what thought was going to be another great meal, I was sooo disappointed! Everything was burnt to a crisp. From the crispy Hash Brown waffle to my burnt Pancake!

My Fiancé and I went for Breakfast on Sunday for the first time and we will definitely be back! The food and Drinks we’re amazing and our waitress Lisa was ver friendly and gave great recommendations!!

It was good and had a great server.

Yum. What a great brunch spot. We went on a whim, waited a mere 15 minutes for a seat at the bar on a Sunday morning (45 min estimate for a table upon check-in) and thoroughly enjoyed this place. Drinks were amazing, the Wake Up Call 2.0 was perfectly made. Food was such a great combination of flavors and was so fresh. The atmosphere was lively, ambient music was great and the service was top notch. Def a recommendation. 👍

Went for brunch w/family on New Years Day. Our experience was not good. 3 of us ordered the waffles and chicken (we’ve had it before). The waffle was thin and tasteless but it was the chicken that was terrible. There were two small “patties” to each plate. They were like rubber and instead of a crispy fry, they were breaded bread crumbs like you would get at Burger King. A little bit of condiment. We didn’t send it back b/c with 3 made the same way, it clearly wasn’t a 1 off. Also, we got 3 Bloody Mary’s bf our meal. They were fine but honestly the ones I make at home are better. My son accidentally spilled his after a few sips. Our waitress cleaned it up and was going to bring another. B/C they weren’t that good he asked for a mimosa instead. Our bill came to about $160 (4 meals, 3 ordered 1 drink) so pricey. But our waitress charged us for the spilled drink (which I was surprised at). I’m still feeling disappointed w/the whole meal and the fact I spent so much for a bad meal, experience.

Really good service and excellent food. It is very pricey but worth it!

Delete stuff was friendly and polite. The meals were good with exception to the carbs. The pancake was not cooked all the way through so appear to be uncooked on the inside which gift if bit of a gooey taste. The French toast was more of a bread pudding combination than a generic French toast recipe. Other than that great atmosphere scrambled eggs were good bacon was good The tea was good. Lively bunch.

The food was great, fresh, and attractive. We were served quickly and efficiently. Restaurant was clean and attractive, only downside was the seating was very close to everyone else. Nerve wracking with the pandemuc.

The BEST brunch by far! Busy place. And there's every reason why it should be. Good atmosphere, amazing food, reasonably priced. Can't say enough positive about this place.

We arrived a little before 9:30am on a Sunday, the restaurant was already full and we had to wait. The wait was ~30minutes. We ordered chicken and waffle benedict and croissanty conti. The food was really good!! The greens were so fresh, I think it's the best salad I've ever had! And if you like savory-sweet combo (a bit on the sweeter side), they did a really good job 👍 We are into craft coffees, so we ordered latte and golden mocha.... the coffee is not good at all, it's over roasted/burnt and the mocha was really sweet, so taking down one ⭐... but if you like dark dark dark roast coffee, maybe you'll like it. It looks like most people ordered cocktails anyways, they look pretty, so we should maybe go for cocktails instead... I think overall is good! Too bad they don't take reservations and takeouts is only when they have capacity, but I guess it's worth the hype ;)
