You do have to wait a while for your food but the service is good, it's just that the food is all made to order and takes time. Not the place to go if you're in a hurry, but worth the wait when you're craving the flavors of India.

The selection of vegetarian entrees is quite bountiful, and the vegetable rice biryani is wonderful. I also appreciate the vegetable Manchurian, which is chock full of tasty garlic. The texture and mouth feel of this dish is also splendid. As a foreigner coming from outside of the Philippines, I have been pleased that the staff has been helpful with menu selections. I feel welcomed and at home. I applaud their use of spices in every dish, they are prepared with particular skill. When I finally am through with an excellent meal created here I feel ecstasy during the taxi ride back to the hotel.

Review #044 - 2019…read more We showed up around 4:30 PM and hung out at the pool area for about an hour, waiting for the buffet to open up. We ordered a few drinks and some enseymadas to snack on, which I was told they are known for at this place. I thought they were pretty good, but not wow'ed by it. We got both the mango and ube flavors, but I only got to try the ube so I can't comment on the mango flavor. My fresh young coconut juice was nicely cut so that you can drink it with a straw and then open the top to scoop out the coconut meat later, which I didn't get to enjoy. We ended up going into the buffet area around 5:30 PM because the house next door was burning some woods or something, but it smelled terrible so our eyes were watering. The buffet actually opens up at 6:30 PM so we just sat around and chatted until they opened up. Service was actually very friendly and accommodating. The food on the other hand was just ok. The seafood selection didn't seem too fresh, even though I was told that this place serves the best. My daughter really enjoyed the lechon, which I thought was kind of salty. Nothing really stood out for me, but I thought their dessert arrangement was very pretty. I tried the flan which was ok, but it wasn't as soft as I'm used to. The chocolate mousse was good though.

But just a little background, I am into art and architecture so this review is largely influenced by that. Decor - Just like the hotel, the restaurant is downright artsy and eclectic, but yet not overwhelming. There is a perfect balance of whimsy and structure. Ambience - Ate very late dinner (think 11:30 pm), and two days of breakfast buffets that came with my reservations. Place was only 15% filled, so not crowded at all. I actually enjoyed the somewhat empty and silent feel. Menu - They have a good mix of appetizers, soup, sandwiches, pizza, pasta, main course, and dessert. I personally felt the pricing was adequate, with most items in the 300+ peso range, with the exception of some main courses. Food - Tried the adobo flakes, calamari, and surprise, surprise - the seafood pasta... (hint - Almost everywhere I've traveled to, seafood pasta is my go-to). ALL WERE DELICIOUS!!! For the breakfast, the selection consisted of typical Filipino full breakfast items, which honestly, I wanted and craved for: Fried garlic rice, corned beef, eggs, somekind of pasta, sausage (my kids ate and didn't like it), and my favorite - fried bangus. They had the typical breads and a waffle maker, fruit, and so on. Still enjoyed it. Service - They are friendly, and they checked to see how we were doing - something not normal in most restaurants in the PI. If I wasn't pressed for time, I wouldn't have mind eating here over and over again, but I was. However, I would love to come back to The Henry and definitely eat at Rica's again! It's probably one of the most enjoyable places I've ever been to!

That and the fact that we are greedy folk who order more than what 2 people ordinarily would eat in a single seating means that I've had a good range of the menu. They start every meal with these long crackers and an addictive salsa. Not sure how chopped tomato, capsicum (peppers) and onion with olive oil can taste so good. Notable mentions must go to their forty chicken - very small but delicious chicken cooked with 40 cloves of garlic and butter. Oreo crepe and their frozen layered dessert were also very nice. All pastas ordered were al dente and very garlicky. You just like garlic if you go to Philippines! Attentive service, coffees were not bad, wines were cheap at 150 peso per glass. And of course, their interesting decor.

What's really great about this restaurant is that Mary Ann, the owner's wife is very hands-on. She would welcome you with a smile, find you a seat, and talk to you about what they have for the day -chicken, pork, or fish. We tried their pad thai and it was delicious! We didn't even bother to look at the meju as they serve different food on different days! How cool is that!? Overall, I would truly recommend the place to those who have the appetite for all things spicy! Truly, once of Lapu-lapu city's rare gem of a resto!

Let me just get this out before I continue with my review - this place is disgusting! The order process was okay and the cashier took my order and served it in record time. When I was looking for a table, that's when everything went downhill. There were a lot of vacant tables with uncleaned dishes on them! Apparently, it takes twice as much time to get the tables cleaned out for the next diner than to take and serve their orders. The floor had water drips that needed wiping and nobody seemed to be interested in doing that! For their benefit they did put out a "wet floor" sign but it was truly disturbing let alone unsafe! I finished my food as fast as I could because I couldn't bear the sight of the mess. It was truly disgusting! I still cringe whenever I remember the mess that I saw. For a popular fast food chain, sanitation was terribly lacking!

Your sitting so close to everyone it's like your trapped like sardines. Then when you try to get up to go get some food it's so hard to maneuver. Then we get to the food. Half of the kettles or trays are sitting empty. It takes the staff way too long to replenish the food. Then the choices are limited and many are tasteless.

Service was fast from the time of ordering to the time the food was served. We did not need to wait long before starting to eat. The only miss was that one of our orders which is the Xiamen fried oyster with egg came a lot later than the others. We were almost finished with our food when the oyster was served.
