Fortunately, their branch wasn't as warm as I thought it'd be since their location is semi-outside the mall (near the event area at the center). Gyro Platter: Our all-time favorite is still this beautiful set of meats and veggies! Apart from enjoying pita bread instead of rice, all our meats were pretty tender, juicy, tasty, and extra flavorful with garlic dip. Falafel is still my favorite healthy choice due to its lovely unity of chickpea texture and light flavor. The coolness of the veggies kept everything harmoniously balanced with all that meaty goodness! Tuna was definitely the most tender, but to be fair, everything was just downright good because they all have that aromatic and delicious grilled flavor I love so much! Service: Like their other branches, everything was done smoothly, waiting time was considerably acceptable, and their servers made claiming the reservation easy...again! (May 2018)

The food is dope with fresh vegetables, well seasoned meats, and a craft bar. Gotta recommend the Cali Shawarma wrap with beef with a Heineken!!

Though, not a lot of people know that further inside Gourmet Farms is a Mediterranean-inspired fine dining restaurant called The Dining Room. It's yet another one of those structures that are inspired by those houses in Santorini, Greece--all white and turquoise with a dome. Their menu is more refined than that of the storefront cafe, so if you're feeling a bit more fancy, head here instead. My family and I went here for an early New Year's lunch and since we had our dog tagged along (which they allowed!), we opted to eat al fresco. They have a pretty nice ambience since you'll be eating adjacent to their gardens. While I couldn't say anything about their meat dishes, I really enjoyed their salad bar. It's a piece of heaven for any hungry vegetarian/vegan. The greens are fresh, the roasted vegetables were flavourful, and they have a variety of salad dressings available. You're guaranteed to have super fresh produce, too, since it's really pretty much farm to table here. This place is great for families, or for a lunch/dinner date. Though if you're looking for a quick bite, opt to eat at the cafe instead since this place can get a bit pricey.

The facade of the restaurant is like a Greek house in Santorini. It serves organic, farm to table dishes. They grown their own lettuce and coffee. Upon request, you can visit their lettuce farm just behind the restaurant and walk around the farm and see how everything starts. Being a frequent visitor, we probably have ordered everything on the menu. They often offer a buffet with unlimited fresh salad. Price is very affordable and worth the value. The vegetables are fresh and crisp. I also love their pastas and meals. Don't forget the banaba iced tea, This is the place to go if you want to eat healthier and in a good environment.

I learned about Hossein through my best friend, who loved their food so much that she couldn't stand up after clearing her plates. Neither could I, and that's a good sign. First things first: one does not simply enter Hossein without trying their Roti Channai (P125). Served with a mild sauce mixed with Indian spices, the roti is soft on the inside and crisp on the outside. As for mains, I strongly recommend their Lamb Shish Kebab (P550) and their Raan Masala (P2780), the latter of which is leg of lamb cooked in a creamy and thick curry sauce, mixed with special herbs and spices. In my opinion, the Raan Masala is definitely the star of the menu. Even the sauce of the masala goes really well with the kebab. So much so that I ended up dipping my kebab in the sauce of the masala instead of the actual sauce of the kebab. All of this doesn't come with rice yet, so you'll definitely want to order a heaping of buttery-hot Biryani Rice (P180), good for two people. I used to have a "don't love it, don't hate it" attitude toward Persian cuisine, but because of Hossein, I am now stuck in the "will eat everything until I puke" phase. Easily the best (and priciest) Persian restaurant I've tried in Metro Manila.

You'll have to get off at the drop off point from across Manam and walk into a small walkway and then turn right. Our friends invited us here for lunch on a Sunday. Almost all the tables were taken. Fortunately, there is more seating on the 2nd floor. The decor with its blue and white motif transported me to Greece. We ordered shish tawouk, lamb kebab plate, mushroom soup, squash salad, Dubai brownie and tahini brownie. The servings were very generous. My shish tawouk plate had several tender pieces of chicken, eggplant salad, biryani rice, broiled tomato and some kind of salsa-like sauce. On the table were two kinds of sauces - one white (perhaps tatziki?) and one with the color of a thousand island dressing (although it is not). The latter was quite spicy. Best was to use it to dress the chicken starting with the white sauce and a tad of the spicy. Soooo good! The lamb kebab was a bit tough. The squash salad was warm and fresh. Overall, everything was authentic and delicious! I know I will crave this food as it is better than many of the Mediterranean restaurants in Los Angeles, USA. They also have such a variety of dishes to choose from - definitely want to try the other dishes in the menu. I was so hungry and excited, I forgot to take pictures of the food. Service was attentive and pleasant. Our water glasses were always filled. Love this place! Will definitely be back!

Ambience: The restaurant is pretty spacious but not too big…read moreeither. They're located on the 5th floor. Seats are convenient for pair or group dates. Since The Podium is growing, you can go to this restaurant from the new Julia Vargas entrance too. Food: Falafel with Pita was insanely good! I loved that they gave so much pita and falafel. This was the first time I had falafel covered in sesame seeds. My ideal falafel would be one with a crunchy coating and soft filling, and they nailed it! Everything was cooked very well and I could really taste the grilled flavor of the vegetables. Pitas were thick; carbs galore! Service: I'm also happy with their service! They did what they could to give me an easy and pleasing experience with my reservation via Eatigo. My server did really well and he checked on how my food was.

The course took very long, so I decided to eat something at the food court. I confess I didn't have great expectations, since I'm not a food court fan, but the food impressed me. I suggest starting with an appetizer sampler containing falafel, humus and babaganouch. For the main course, I had a veggie moussaka which was just great! Pair it with their moroccan mint hot tea :) I must add the interiors are very nice and really brings a Mediterranean vibe.

Most of their dishes served with rice is good for sharing, however, when really hungry, it could be just for one. Pair it with Dogh (yogurt shake), and you're good to go!

I'd passed this place without giving it a second thought. It looked like just another shawarma…read morespot. There were five million other shawarma spots and this place looked pretty small. Man, was I wrong. This wasn't just a shawarma place. It was a legit grill place. Shawarma, kebabs, chicken fillets, dapas... you name it. Impressive. And for a price that didn't go over 100php for most items. Even more impressive. What stunned me though was how much bigger it was on the inside. It added a lot to the ambiance of the place. There was lots of room and lots of seats, giving it a rather cozy feel. The food itself is pretty good! Not dry, tasty and that's without drenching it in sauce as is my usual modus when it comes to these wraps. Despite the price, it wasn't at all small and they didn't skimp on the fillings which is something that doesn't happen very often. So if you're looking for something light and filling but won't kill your wallet or make you feel like you didn't eat enough, this is where I'd suggest to go.

It took me some time to warm up to it but my love for hummus has overcome this tampo, so I decided to try it out. Needless to say, it was on a whole different scale than the café it replaced, but I still like it because of my love for Middle Eastern food. PROS: You'd be surprised how roomy it actually is. On the ground level it would just be around 4 tables and you have to scoot to get to the counter and place your order. But downstairs, it's comfortably spacious; I love samplers! So of course I had their Mandip Trio. It was so fun to eat because I got to try the Moutabal and Keema too, which is quite good; I liked reading this little story on their menu on how Mandi got their name. CONS: Orders take a bit of time to prepare; We could use for more pita for the Trio. TL;DR: Authentic Persian food that's not just some random shawarma place. More Mandi!
