My visit here only adds to my experiences of small and modest places serving the best food. The samosas were a great starter and seemed a sign on how our meal will play out. My friends and I tried one another's orders, and they were all good. My favorite is the vegetable kofta curry, which are vegetable balls (they don't taste leafy at all!) with a cream for a dip. One of my friends ordered the vegan version of this (Do you know they have a vegan version of many dishes there? In fact, they have a separate vegan menu! How cool is that for the health-conscious?) I was able to try both versions of the kofta curry, and they were both good. I can't really tell the difference. I thought the meal alone was great, but the desserts proved to be winners, too. The homemade ice cream served with Indian spices is rich and satisfying, albeit its small size, and the gulab (brown cheese ball with syrup) is also rich though quite addicting.

I'd say their chicken curry is good but what I cook is suited for my taste. Me and my colleagues have ordered the chicken biryani and naan (something like pita bread) chicken curry. The most notable thing is how spicy their yellow colored rice is (I believe it's called Biryani)! One colleague loved the Indian food and the other didn't like it. I was just okay with it but if it was in bigger serving, I wouldn't be able to stand the spiciness. They have tomatoes with coleslaw on the side to probably not be sick with it. Their chicken curry sauce compliments the rice and the naan. The place is a bit small but it's fine, Indian-themed, with red, white, and yellow colors. The service was bit slow, we had to tell the waitress in the cashier that we were gonna order already. But other than that, it was fine. The menu had some variety, I just think they can add more options in there. The price is just right for the serving size. I don't think they have other branches yet. It's a good idea they put up an Indian restaurant there cause it's very rare to find here. I will probably recommend this for Indian friends (if I'd have any) and probably those who want some new cuisine although I'm not a fan of Indian food. But this is honestly not gonna be on my worth going back lists.

Ganeza is a curry place that serves predominantly Indian food, although there are other types of curries like Japanese. We tried their naan, samosa, and vegetable rice since a lot were out of stock. Their naan is very good and made from good quality ingredients, very authentic too. It comes with a sauce and it is a meal in itself. The samosas are also tasty and has enough spice. The rice is spicy but good. We are happy with what we ordered. Service is fast and good. Can be a choice for future eats.

Since I could remember, THE Aristocrat RESTAURANT has been a regular go-to eatery for my family…read moreduring most if not all visits to Manila, Philippines. Needless to say, during my November, 2024 vacation, I had to stop by here for a snack or meal which occurred on the evening of Wednesday, the 13th. Established in 1936, The Aristocrat is one of the oldest restaurants in Manila and historic landmark recognised by the National Historical Commission of the Philippines with a marker at this original location on Roxas Boulevard, recognizing its contribution to Philippine culinary history. An iconic spot famed for its homestyle Filipino delights like Lumpiang Shangahi (₱415), Crispy Pata (₱975), and Halo-halo (Blanco ₱160, Regular ₱180, and Specia l₱220), the long-loved brand has won the hearts of Filipinos across the country and is still a favourite up to this day. Situated in the vibrant Malate district, conveniently on Roxas Boulevard, the venue offers diners a picturesque view of Manila Bay, which adds to its charm. The place also has ample parking in the private lot and the interior design is clean and well-maintained. With the onsite bakeshop and store, bright lighting, and 24-hour service, The Aristocrat captures diner vibes while welcoming guests to a warm family-style setting with tables grouped together. Showcasing the best of Filipino culinary culture, the extensive menu at Aristocrat boasts bold, lively flavours served in satisfying portions. Signature dishes include the celebrated Chicken BBQ & Java Rice combination, widely considered "the best chicken barbecue in town," and the iconic Aristocrat Adobo Flying Saucer (₱190), a toasted, circular bread pocket filled with savoury chicken adobo. Each dish is thoughtfully presented and every bite serves as a rich celebration of Filipino cuisine. Below are some of what we ordered at my most recent visit: Fresh Lumpiang Ubod (₱175) - This was Uncle Bolo's order. He enjoyed the shredded ubod (heart of palm) sautéed with pork and shrimp, perfectly wrapped and generously poured with the savoury-sweet and thick peanut sauce topped with ground peanuts and fresh garlic. Crab & Corn Soup (₱98) - The thick, creamy broth filled with sweet corn kernels and shredded delicate crab meat was enjoyed for its warm, savoury flavor, mirroring traditional Filipino-Chinese comfort food. Fried Lumpiang Ubod (₱188) - I'm not a fan of lumpiang ubod, but those who ate this starter enjoyed the crispy texture of the eggroll, especially paired with the spiced vinegar. Gulaman at Sago (₱98) - The Filipino sweet, thirst-quenching iced beverage of gelatin cubes with chewy tapioca pearls in a brown sugar syrup was refreshing and beautiful in presentation. Kare Kare (₱925) - Each spoonful of this classic peanut-forward stew of beef and vegetables was full of flavour. Bistek Tagalog (₱450) - This classic, comforting rendition of the Filipino beef steak, featuring thinly sliced lean beef marinated in savoury soy sauce and tangy calamansi juice and topped with caramelized white onions was impressively tasty and tender. Pinakbet na Baboy (₱330) - This dish featuring a medley of vegetables - such as eggplant, green beans, and bittern melon - and pork sautéed in a savoury shrimp paste is one of Mom's favourites. Unfortunately, she wasn't super impressed with Aristocrat's version. Ginataang Laing (₱225) - This Filipino comfort dish of taro leaves and pork bits cooked in coconut milk and topped with shrimp and siling labuya (small, fiery chili pepper cultivar) was richly creamy, slightly spicy and deeply aromatic. 3-PC Chicken Barbecue (₱345) - This is Aristocrat's iconic dish, often cited as the flagship meal of the legendary Manila-based establishment. Their famous Chicken Barbecue is composed of three pieces of chicken (typically drumsticks and/or leg/thigh cuts) that are marinated, skewered, and grilled to a tender, juicy, and smoky finish. Served with Java Rice (a bright yellow-orange-coloured, savoury rice) and homemade Atsara (a Filipino pickled dish made from grated unripe green papaya) both of which bring out the tastiness of the smoky chicken. Pork Barbecue (₱300) - Two sticks of tender, marinated pork skewers grilled to perfection, typically served with Java Rice and Atsara. Dalyn replaced the Java Rice for white rice to complement the sweet, smoky bites of pork. Fresh Green Mango Shake (₱180) - My shake of fresh succulent green mango fruit blended with light syrup and crushed ice was a perfect balance of tangy and sweet - YUM! THE Aristocrat RESTAURANT's warm, polite and attentive service with nostalgic ambiance and delectable, well-presented dishes have made the establishment a beloved spot for both locals and tourists alike, a must-visit for the heart and soul of authentic Filipino fare.

We ordered three of its bestsellers: Special fried rice with chicken satay, fried egg omelette, and prawn crackers Beef rendang Chicken curry The chicken satay was on the verge of turning dry, but it was served with rice, egg, and prawn crackers so this dish presented good value for money. I am not sure why there was no peanut sauce for the chicken. The beef rendang was really good! The beef was fork tender, and the level of heat in the sauce was perfect for me. The chicken curry was good though the chicken was a bit dry. The curry sauce could use a touch more heat to make the dish more interesting.

Even using my app, I almost walked right by the place because it's sign is small and long since faded and the entrance is a sliding glass door that looks like someone's porch entry into their home. If not for the lady visible in the glass door in a bright green shirt rolling out dumpling wrappers, I was unclear if I was at the right place. The sliding door really threw me off because you feel awkward sliding it open as if you are entering into someone's home. Once in it is a little more awkward because there does not seem to be a system to order or get a seat. (Getting a seat is going to be tough anyway as there are only about 15 seats in the place and several of them are taken up by the staff actually rolling out dough and stuffing dumpling wrappers amidst the patrons sitting next to them eating.) I ordered the pork steamed ones to go (14 to an order and it comes with chopsticks and a small knotted baggie of dipping sauce). These were the best dumplings I've ever had without a doubt. Wrappers are not quite paper thin but they are very thin and the filling is very porky with a lot of Chinese leek involved. Really, they don't get any better than this. This place has a following and is talked about by other foodies on their vlogs and it is no wonder why. Put this on your short list to visit when coming to Manila.
