    5 balls felafel (lol) with hummus!
    Justin D.

    MAZAL TOV - we have felafel in Manila! you can't get anymore authentic then Benni's he is, after all, Jewish! So everything he serves is Kosher - coz according to Beni, it doesn't get more kosher than him! Gone are the days of the old store (see across the street - it is still there) where the cramped dining often dissuaded curious passer-by's. Yup - new space, more seating, more TV's... So you can rock up at Benni's at anytime (open 24h) and expect a seat. THE FOOD - MUST TRY: - Felafel's (obviously); - hummus; - chicken liver meal sets (its like the adobo in Israel) - the pita - salads Dont count on delivery being a straightforward thing - often Benni's only delivers to Makati area and has a 1000peso minimum Shalom de Benni!

    Beni's Falafel had been a popular falafel place that my friends would tell me its the best. We happen to passby here just before going to Batangas on a wee hours of the day. I was surprised to findout it is open for 24hours. So, we ordered their usual feast. The Beni's Falafel Sandwich with addtional Hummus. The pita pocket was filled with 5 balls of falafel with shredded cabbage, tomato, and a spread of hummus underneath. The falafel has a nice, crispy crust with a soft, moist center. I love the crunch and the spiced flavor of it. It reminded me of a vegan burger because of how it was eaten and the filling. We regularly put their white sauce (not the sweet, garlic sauce). The white sauce has a nutty bitterness due to tahini that give it another kick of flavor. The hummus was nice and smooth. It was really good! Beni's Falafel is now top of my list for Middle Eastern cuisine. #TheFoodCrawlers #OngsFoodprints #TheLostDiego

    Shakshuka!

    I consider myself a Beni's loyalist since I first tasted his famous Falafel sandwich. Although I am an unapologetic carnivore, I always leave Beni's satisfied without craving for any type of meat whatsoever. I ordered the Shakshuka in July last visit. I was almost disappointed when the Shakshuka that was served to me was a bit drier than what I was used too and the egg on top was not runny (overcooked?) at all! I took a chance and asked the server to change the plate because I don't like overcooked egg. They graciously took my plate back and came back with the perfect plate. The Shakshuka was as good as I the one Inhad back when Beni's was still in its old location across the street. The hot sauce and tahini sauce only served to take this dish up a notch higher. I will certainly be back soon to re-acquaint myself with Beni's other menu items.

    I am a big fan of falafels and kebabs and I only heard of Beni's Falafel while I was in the parlor in A.Venue and I got hungry. See, South Salon allows you to have food delivered so you don't go hungry while they dye your hair and give you treatments and relaxing massages. Anyway, so I said, okay, why don't I give it a try? I ordered a Beni's Falafel with additional hummus. When it arrived, I was extremely hungry that just the smell made me drool. I was like a vampire smelling blood while trying to control her blood lust. I opened the bag, there was a falafel sandwich with a siding of hummus. I quickly tasted the hummus and it was PERFECT. Not too thick, not too thin. It was just right. The way a hummus should be. It was definitely love at first taste. Next, I fixed my falafel. I wanted to make sure that every bite would have hummus and garlic sauce on it. And ooh when I bit it for the first time, it was like I fell in love for the first time. It was like the first time I tasted ice cream. Or the first time I ever skipped rope. Or the first time I got an A in school. It was just amazing. Indescribable. I wish that Webster can create a new word so that I can better explain how I felt and what I tasted. Then I find out that it's open 24 HOURS. Well isn't that perfect for someone who works til late at night?

    A good falafel is hard to find anywhere, but I was amazed to find a superb one in the Philippines. Located in Makati, it is a 24/7 late night establishment perfect for the munchies after a night drinking or just one good food. The falafels here are legit coming in half (3 falafel) or full (5) size order with veggies and pita bread. The white sauce and red sauce are perfect compliments to the falafels. The hummus is a must with the falafel. Definitely worth the extra charge. Service is quick and prompt always. It is on the pricier size, but the quality is worth it. Definitely coming back here for my falafel fix in the future.

    Beni's Falafel is the hole-in-the-wall to end a lot of hole-in-the-walls. Initially it's easy to miss amongst the bigger and bolder looking establishments surrounding it on its side of the bustling A.Venue, but once you've stepped in and tried it you'll probably never miss it and never forget it. But I may be biased; this is one of my favorite places to grab great, cheap grub in my neighborhood. Locals, tourists and even actual middle easterns alike can be found dining here, with good reason. The place is small and straightforward. Tables, chairs, kitchen. The service is fast, the food is authentic, the falafel are HUGE and so tasty and so worth every penny. They don't even cost a lot to begin with! The value for money is high. The place is open until late so it's perfect for either pre or post-game meals.

    My friend would not shut up about Beni's falafel so I eventually tagged along to see what the hype was all about... it was definitely not what I had in mind! For such a popular place, its appearance is to say the least not very appealing. I was a little suspicious and reluctant to have the food at first because of its location and appearance but the owner was there and was really nice... and he was also eating the falafel, which was comforting :D Well... now I can't shut up about this place either! The falafels are just so yummy and I am just in love with the quality of the hummus It also became a must stop for any end-of-a-messy-night-out or hangover day!

    Best falafels in Manila, bar none. I know this because I haven't successfully hacked the recipe yet!

    This is a review that I've been waiting to write for a long, long time. A little back story: I'm obsessed with Middle Eastern food. So much so that I try to cook it often at home, and falafel is one of those dishes that I have never successfully managed to pull off, despite my best efforts. Thankfully, Beni's Falafel exists. I don't live in Makati, but I am easily lured there with promises of eating at this little hole-in-the-wall across A.Venue because it's just *THAT* good. BUT! Did you know that there's more to Beni's Falafel than JUST the falafels? I will skip talking about the Falafel sandwiches (which are amazing, and the other Yelpers have no doubt covered the bases already) and move on to the Hamutzim, which is basically a pickle platter. There's nothing like popping fresh olives, crunchy cornichons and a slice of zesty jalapeno into each bite of your falafel sandwich. Who knew that something already so divine could be elevated into a higher state of divinity with the Hamutzim?! I didn't. Also, their Chicken Liver with Onion is definitely one of the unsung heroes of Beni's menu. For those of you who aren't quite into liver, Beni's cooks it in a way that the weird aftertaste is almost virtually nonexistent. I suggest sharing this dish with a friend, and to add it to your falafel sandwich. My favorite time to come to Beni's Falafel is during off-peak hours. Sometimes if you go in the wee hours of the morning, you'll catch the people who have just descended from Gramercy, if you want to do a little bit of people-spotting. I love Beni's Falafel way too much, and I wish it was in QC instead of Makati!

    Is it really Arabian or Persian? Not that im really concerned, when the food is that good, who needs to put labels on them other than EXCEPTIONALLY DELICIOUS? Beni's is really quite popular, even though it's hidden behind A-venue mall. I don't think the whole restaurant is around 10 sqm, but it still manages to attract people from all over the city. (And if you'd look closely, there are newspaper clippings and pictures of various celebrities visiting the restaurant!) Beni's is a literal hole in the wall-- could barely seat maybe 10-15 people maximum, and they get pretty full! Beni's falafel is famous for their... Well. Falafel. For those curious, falafel is made up from ground chickpeas (where your hummus came from) or fava beans that are deep fried and served in a variety of ways? And, it's also vegetarian! Hooray for my veggie foodie friends. Fair word of warning: falafels are notorious for causing bloating and indigestion when consumed in large amounts (as do many other beans). It might be better to eat them in the morning and in moderate amounts. But really, how can you resist after a night of drinking out and when Beni's is open 24/7?? (Just be sure to drink lots of Yakult or pair the falafels with some Lassi and you're good to go. )

    The big homus with falafel + honey lemon and ginger tea
    Danyella P.

    Although I live in Salcedo Village, which is very close to Poblacion, I must confess I didn't use to explore the barangay's streets. Maybe because of Makati Avenue's traffic and the busy atmosphere around. Well, I don't know the reason. The only thing I know is that everything changed when I found Beni's Falafel, a tiny restaurant hidden in the dark Valdez Street. By looking at the façade, you don't expect too much. But go beyond the first impression and you'll see it offers Manila's best falafel. Their must-try is Beni's Falafel (PHP 135), which is actually a falafel sandwich. I also recommend the Big Homus with Falafel (PHP 250). The food is simple, but there must be a secret ingredient, come on! Their homus is so tasty and the pita bread is so soft! They really go perfectly with the falafel. Pair it with their delicious tea with honey lemon and ginger. It's comforting and tastes quite authentic! The only negative thing about this restaurant is that it's cash only, according to what the waitress informed me. Well, the good news is that they deliver in case you want to enjoy their wonderful falafel at home.

    Nicely tucked in one of the side streets perpendicular to Makati Avenue
    Carl C.

    When I first stumbled upon this somewhat obscure joint off Makati Avenue, I never expected it to become a part of my life. You see, my friends and I had originally intended to have a quick lunch at the usual place across the street when we noticed a bunch of foreigners of Middle Eastern origin all crowding over in "some Israeli" place. Naturally, we had to go where the action was. That was a little over two year ago; now, a week would not go by without me wolfing down its signature Beni's Falafel, a sandwich of nicely toasted pita pocket, tasty chickpea patties that are crunchy outside and soft and creamy inside, made complete with fresh local veggies. But what really sets it apart is the tahini sauce - rich yet simple, authentic unlike the yogurt sauce being served in most other places that offer a similar cuisine. Another item in the menu that's worth trying would be the shakshuka. The lacto ovo vegetarian - friendly dish tastes surprisingly straightforward and clean considering it is poached eggs stewed in fresh tomatoes and spices. I usually have it with pita and of course, the tahini sauce. The place also serves other Middle Eastern food like baba ganoush, humus and Turkish coffee. For drinks, you may choose to have a fruit shake, a bottled iced or soda. (Personally, I just have water.) If you are a carnivore, there are items in the menu for you as well, like chicken breast, schnitzel and chicken liver. The place is small. Except for the framed feature articles hanging on the wall, along with a small corkboard holding photos of celebrities who have also stumbled upon this hidden treasure, the furnishing is kept to what is only necessary. It can comfortably accommodate around 20 people at a time though there are also plastic chairs lined up outside. It is open 24 hours making it a perfect place to grab a gratifying yet healthy late lunch, a much deserved post-workout snack or an after-party night cap, whether you are with a small group or just your thoughts.

I'd say get their quekiam (one of their specialties)--this erm..thing (I don't know, gluten or soy based mock meat?) is stuffed with savory veggies and mushrooms and comes with a spicy red sauce on the side. It's definitely not like the street kikiam which is made of god knows what! Super tasty appetizer... I was excited to try their veg sisig as it was one of their specialties, but I was a bit disappointed as the serving was quite small (at Php 170...) and while it was seasoned well and had a variety of mushrooms and minced tofu/soy/gluten (unsure...), I guess it lacked that creamy sauce that I loved when I used to eat the real pork sisig. It could use some veg mayo or some sauce to elevate it to a really satisfying sisig recreation. However, I should mention that it did come with crumbled chicharon (made of tofu skins) on top!

I don't care to join either side of this debate. What i do is eat vegetarian dishes whenever possible, but still go for red meat and fowl on a regular basis. Whenever I am out on the field for work, I usually end up heading for the nearest SM food court to eat, and I'm glad that a lot of them have a branch of Bodhi Vegetarian Healthfood. The taste of their various vegemeat dishes comes close enough to the real thing. One of my favorites is their version of sweet and sour pork, as well as their pork barbecue on a stick.

So as much I wanted to quit meat cold turkey, we took some baby steps and made sure that if we'll ever be eating meat, it's got to be paired with something healthy. Like salad, or just any kind of veggies. With our brand new "healthier lifestyle" approach, we were naturally interested when we stumbled upon Green Pastures. I can't believe we haven't heard of this place. I scanned the prices first before the food. Wow. There is actually food for less than Php 200. When you're in a restaurant within Shangri La Mall and there's food for less than 200 bucks, and it's not even located in a food court, that's considered affordable already. You'd find that their menu has a LOT to offer and everything is deliciously described so prepare to spend about Php 1,500 for two. We couldn't decide between "GF Pork Chop" and "Duck Fat Fried Chicken (Probiotic)" so we asked the waiter's opinion which is better. He kind of compared Duck Fat Fried Chicken to KFC so the second I got the KFC visuals I had no choice but to get the GF Pork Chop instead. MEAT!!! Since it's meat, we paired it with Yang Chow Cauliflower Rice, so there! For drinks, I got the bottomless Moringa Ginger Lemon Grass Tea (refillable for Php 205). However, I got jealous when I saw from the next table a big pitcher of what looks like a citrusy mix of something ice cold and yummy. I totally overlooked that on the menu. It's called Agua Fresca and a pitcher is only Php 250 which seems to be good for 4 people. So we'll definitely order that next time instead of a bottomless ice tea for just one person. The bowl of Yang Chow Cauliflower Rice is good for two, and we were pleasantly surprised that it came with shrimps and a chunk of roast pork. In fact, if you're not starving, I can say that it can work as a standalone meal for two. It's pretty good! Compared to rice, it's not as heavy on the stomach. Towards the end of our bites though we start to notice that there's this oiliness factor to it, but I'm assuming it's some kind of healthy oil like olive oil. As for the GF Pork Chop, i hate to say it but it's good... tender and juicy. But the guava jam that came with it made it awesome! Next time, I'll probably try their whole grain bowl because it's got wildly organic things in it like kale and quinoa. So long, meat!

    I was pretty excited to eat here for lunch today and we were supposed to treat my grandfather for…read morelunch. I even made a reservation last night to make sure that we could have a table for 10 at 1230. Upon arriving, a girl that looked like she was running the place was giving our reserved table away but quickly moved the other party to a different table. We ordered our food and in a few minutes one set of the Spring Rolls came out (we ordered two.) It took awhile before the second set came out. For soup, my grandfather ordered 1 roasted tomato soup, while my brother and my uncle ordered a mushroom soup each. For some reason, they kept giving us an extra mushroom soup which we kept sending back to the kitchen. When my grandfather's spaghetti bolognese came, we were all expecting that all our other orders would come. But after about 30 mins of waiting, we had followed up on the order and they just kept saying that it's coming. After a good hour and a half of being in the restaurant, and a few orders cancelled, my family decided to ask for the bill and just cancel everything. The staff continuously made excuses and said the food was coming. They even mentioned that they will have to pay for that themselves, but with service like that, my family just wanted to go eat elsewhere. While waiting for the bill, they asked us what orders came out! Shouldn't they know what orders they had already served us? When the bill finally arrived, the orders were wrong and they kept insisting that we ordered three mushroom soups. We kept giving it back, adding and removing some orders. The cashier edited the receipt at least SIX TIMES! To top it all off, the lady who looked like she was in charge of the place, didn't even bother to come to our table to apologize or anything. She just hid behind the counter, looking at her phone. When I thought she was finally going to talk to our table, she instead went to two other tables and talked to those groups. Another group that heard our complaining even said, "Really bad service." It's disappointing because I enjoyed what food I was able to taste, I was excited for the carbonara that never arrived, and this place has been getting very good reviews. I'm still deciding on whether or not I want to go back to try that carbonara, but as of now, I'm very disappointed at this place's service. I'm being nice by giving them two stars because their food was good, though some needed salt.

    No one in our family has tried eating at Earth Kitchen. And with the recent craze on healthy,…read moreorganic eating, I guess it was about time for us to try it. It was terribly disappointing when our orders arrived and we saw that the portions were very small, some dishes not even enough for one person. The mushroom risotto balls were okay. The tempura salad was one of the worst and their pasta noodles tasted horrible. Their beef bulgogi soft tacos were quite okay, but the flavors didn't seem to match. Probably the most acceptable dish among everything we ordered was the beef kebab. It was surprisingly tender and tasty despite it being organic.

    Whenever a vegetarian/vegan restaurant opens up and they actually cook veggies with the justice…read morethat they deserve, I truly just want to rejoice. See, I don't think a lot of people (myself included) know how to season vegetables well, or at least not right away, not with a lot of practice and research. This creates a misleading mindset for everyone else that veggies are bland and are "rabbit food", "cardboard", and even more depressing, a mere side dish to your meat. What I love about Edgy Veggy is how well-seasoned their food is. Even the rice included in their rice meals aren't simple, but flavored with spices and herbs and it really elevates your vegetable munching experience. I've tried a lot of veggie burgers, but so far, Edgy Veggy's mushroom burger patties are the most flavorful ones I've had in a long while. The texture's excellent, not mushy or too enveloped in breading unlike some veg burger patties, and the shiitake mushroom flavor is quite distinct, which I love. The Mushroom Panino is also quite good. However, I'm not a big fan of their Mushroom Longganisa much, as the rough/sandy texture doesn't sit too well with me, and the rice is quite too punch-y and overwhelming for my taste. If you're with friends, I really recommend you get the soy chai milk tea pot! Great to share and the chai flavor is so calming. In a perfect world, one where I actually have a lot of money, I would eat here every day. But, back to reality--this place is a bit overpriced. But, compared to a lot of similar, "healthy" restaurants in areas like say, BGC, this place offers better value for money.

    There are still people out there that think Vegetarian Food is boring, tasteless, and stale…read more Thankfully, restaurants like Edgy Veggy are slowly but surely changing that perception. And thankfully we have Edgy Veggy in Kapitolyo just in case we feel too guilty for eating sinfully Silantro, Madmarks, and Locavore too many times, and you just want something healthy for a change. Edgy Veggy offers a lot of tasty options for all types of vegetarians out there, from casual "I just wanna eat veggies today" types to Vegan options. Personally, I will swear by the Fried Dumplings, The Fried Risotto Balls, the Marinara, and the Mushroom Callos on Rice. Yes, I've been here quite a few times, and yes, I love meat as much as the next person. It's really a testament to how well the people behind Edgy Veggy know their stuff. Now if you excuse me, I want to try their Longganiza and Rice meal...

    When you walk into a restaurant you can definitely tell if you feeling the ambiance of the place…read more And this cafè sure exceed my liking. Well mainly because of the artsy paintings and the color coded walls and penguin styled throw pillows. The place surely is unique, it's a relaxing feeling you get when you walk in the room, so i had to order a cuppa tea cos I wanted to take advantage of the feels and plus get away from the busy streets of the metro. They have a various menu and as I asked the waitress the selection is not entirely vegan. But I happened to have the maling and brown rice, i was solved! and the price was just fair, not all too pricey as compared to other vegetarian café i know. They have painting studio too outback. Plus they have books around that you can enjoy while sippin on ya cuppa..

    If you're feeling like having a quiet, healthy date night, consider Lucy In The Sky Cafe…read more There were hardly any people inside when we visited this artsy vegetarian joint. The quirky, couch-filled interior made me feel more than welcome to dine with my legs tucked under me atop the couch (juuust the way I like things) while sipping a refreshing mint-infused strawberry smoothie. (Although it had sugar/syrup added to it to taste, which isn't really up to my speed.) My date ordered their Lasagna, and I gave their Vegan Barbecue a shot. As someone who tries to eat as healthy as possible while also nursing a deep love for comfort food, both dishes adequately satisfied my need for something savory and healthy. Nothing AMAZING and there's no replacing real meat in my heart, but Lucy In The Sky fills a need that arises often for me. A decent, healthy meal that isn't all OMG THIS IS SOOOOO GOOD BINGE EAT DIS SHIZZLE, but good, and a nice quiet (quirky!) place.
