Air-con kept the branch chill and branch was lit up nicely, mostly in white. FOOD & BEVERAGE I'm in love with their menu options since they have plenty! We tried the Beef Kebab Bento and the beef was already good without the sauces. Garlic sauce was too watery and lacked garlic. Pepper sauce was just okay but the tabouleh was lovely while the pita was fluffy! Mango Yogurt was tasty but was more on the mango side rather than yogurt. We prefer this the other way around so that we'll also feel our money's worth. SERVICE They were friendly and they pulled my companion's chair while getting us seated.

It is clean & well-maintained. I usually get the beef shawarma plate. It is only beef & veggies & it is pretty filling. Sometimes, I'll get a side of pita bread too if I feel like eating carbs. The plate & pita bread is ~180P so it's a reasonable price. I've tried a couple of their other entrees, but the shawarma plate is the most protein for your peso, imo. You also definitely have to use their sauces, they are just the standard white & red sauces but I like them a lot! Some of my friends even buy bottles of them for use at home. Something not to get is their baklava. I love baklava & was excited to find out they served it, but mine was soggy and you only get four small pieces for P80.

I came in expecting another gastropub with overpriced food and meager drinks because it was a…read moreseriously hipster place. But an overhead menu surprised me with a bunch of Persian delicacies at rock bottom prices. Safe to say we tried almost everything in the main menu and were not disappointed at all. The hummus is perfect (really it was so effin' good) which I find hard to come by in Metro Manila. Perfect consistency and balance with the chickpeas and garlic. Also the vegetable samosas and mozarella sticks were crunchy just the way I like it. Had the ox brain even if I'm a bit of a vegetarian and pretended it was penoy. The Chicken shawarma rice was mouthwatering and I finished mine in a few minutes. The chicken kebabs were also so tender. But best of all, their main menu consists of items that range from Php 80 (solo shawarma) to Php 140 (kebab rice). Oh and cold affordable beer, drinks, aircon, shisha and WIFI! My new favorite place to day drink and work. Lost a star because the sound system was broken that day and I found the margarita too sweet. But the owner is a sweetheart and will be your instant BFF!

I've had the pleasure of meeting Chef Hossein when he opened his branch in Serendra and he's always had this passion to share his food. His restaurants are incomparable to your usual kebab stops as he takes the flavors of tradition further and bring forward authentic cuisines. I especially like eating in Gilak not just because it is in my neighborhood but also because they do their dishes so well. Hummus is not a pre-mix but home made among other delights such as their moutabal and samosas. For a great overall experience, go for the sampler appetizers where you will get to try their best sellers. I always order as well their Mix Kebab samplers to get a good taste of the well-marinated juicy grilled beef and chicken. Carb up and pair your dishes with the delightful Kabsa or Macluba rice dishes; Wash it all down with my favorite sweet lassi or a traditional mint tea. Overall, I always have a good experience with service and the food's consistency. The ambiance takes you to the middle east with interiors and architecture reminiscent of old world charms. A great place for a special lunch or dinner!

(Don't get it confused with CASAA, the food house on the other end of the Academic Oval.) It might be a little hard to find because 1) the structure it's found in looks abandoned, and 2) their sign up front doesn't attract attention at all. (It just looks like your typical sari-sari store sign.) Once inside though, you'll see why it's just about the quietest place to enjoy a good meal in UP. Khas serves a mix of Mediterranean and Indian cuisine, and they are vegetarian-friendly! Yes! UP has vegetarian-friendly food! Most of their meals have a no-meat option, using vege meat instead. I love their Safari Doubledecker Meal! It's a rice bowl with cabbage, onions, egg, mild spices (if you wish), and your choice of toppings - chicken, beef, seafood, or vege meat. It's inexpensive, filling, and quite good with the vegetarian option! (Only P90) Since I frequent Khas at around lunchtime, I usually order their yogurt shake to go with the Doubledecker Meal. (P65) They have lots of other interesting items on their menu, including a shady item called "It's Not What You Think!" I've heard that the meal is cooked depending on the ingredients available, and that the staff can't reveal what they've put in it. I haven't tried it yet! But if you're curious, do visit this nice little hidey-hole in UP and give it a go! :)

Although authentic Indonesian food is quite tricky to find in Manila, I find that Malaysian restaurants come close (but not quite, yet I can't be choosy). Fortunately, when talking about Malaysian food, I know a handful authentic ones that serve really good, cheap, Halal and affordable food options that remind me of my great days in Jakarta and its neighboring cities. One of such restaurants is Pamanganan Malaysian Restaurant, which is smack in the middle of the Muslim community in Quiapo. This place primarily serves Malaysian food, but they also have Halal versions of food items that non-Muslims usually consider as street food - Halal pizza, non-pork Siomai, etc. They also have Yakan regional cooking, which is rare here in Manila. The Yakans are one of the Muslim tribes in Mindanao, and Pamanganan offers home-style recipes that are really familiar to the Yakans. Anyway, if you are looking for Malaysian and Indonesian food, they have really good nasi goreng, which I always get since it is quintessentially Indonesian. I have also tried the martabak, which is also sold in Indonesia. The martabak is an Arabic crepe that is usually stuffed with savory fillings, but there are also sweet versions. The place quite a shabby yet cozy feel to it. I just wish they didn't spray the dining area with that chemical solution that smells like fabric conditioner (their idea of air freshener). They also advertise an iftar meal platter, which is a nourishing set of dishes that are to be eaten after a Muslim breaks his fast every sundown during Ramadan.
