    A few years back, I was working in the Asian Institute of Management, which was just across the street from Greenbelt 1. I didn't have a shortage of places to eat during lunch break. In fact, my officemates and I are so flushed with choices, we had to make a Wheel of Fortune-esque contraption with the names of restaurants we like on it so we can just spin it when we're hungry. But there are times when I detest other people and just want to sit down while eating comfort food you can feel to your bones. That is when I sneak out of the office and eat in Cafe Mediterranean. It reminds me of Europe, with its rustic seating and Santorini aesthetic. The waiters are very nice, and the food...the food! Oh my god, those gyro platters are to die for. If you're being all moody and introverted like I was though, it's best to sit deep inside the restaurant, since the outer tables are in full view of anyone passing by. This is Makati, you're bound to run into someone you know.

    Good choice for Mediterranean food in the Greenbelt mall in Makati. They have all the classics you would expect.

    Great falafel gyros and good hummus. The service was also good. The restaurant was not busy or loud. Would highly recommend the food.

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.

    We've been looking to eat here for, well, years. We ate at one of the restaurant group's other…read morerestaurant, Fely J, in Greenbelt 5 about a month ago & it was the best food we've eaten in awhile. They also gave us 2 menus - - one was the Cafe Adriatico menu, the other was Abe's - - we had our choice from either. We ordered 3 dishes & all were good: 1. BISTEK FILIPINO: nice dish. The meat was lean, plenty of shallots & sauce. Not the same as the Bistek Tagalog that they serve at Fely J's. Main difference is that this dish uses top blade beef & Fely J uses rib eye - - which is much more flavorful. Still a good dish. 2. LANGKA AT PUSIT SA GATA: I didn't try it, but my wife enjoyed it. 3. TORTANG TALONG: Cooked to perfection. Nice size. No issues. Enjoy.

My roommate and I used to call it our resident soup! I suppose sipping a hot bowl of soup reminds me of home. That sort of comfort is what i felt with my first sip of the steamy "nanay's pochero". The soup had clean meaty flavor without a hint of msg that often runs coarse through your throat. There were a couple of chorizo slices enhancing the already delicious soup. The meat was succulent and for me, the bone marrow sealed the deal - that feast of fatty, beefy, butter-like flavors melting in your mouth is one of the great joys of eating bulalo! YUM! The mood of the place is relaxing and for a brief moment there was a warm home-like feel to it. I guess I don't need to meditate to transcend elsewhere, all i need is good food! how great is that?! You would have guessed by now that this was not just a great dining experience for me but a pleasant emotional experience too and for that I'm giving this place 5 stars.

    Hands down my favorite place to eat in in Taft Avenue!…read more Ababu opened about a year ago and hasn't lost its momentum since, well at least for me. They serve Persian and Mediterranean foods which are two of my favorites! The best part? It's just a block away from my building so if you do visit, there's a possibility of you running into me there (don't forget to say hi!)! Ababu's food is very affordable but unlike most cheap eats, Ababu serves amazing food! Their Beef Kebab Rice Meal is my favorite! It consists of charbroiled ground beef with egg, corn, onions and tomatoes on rice. They also serve bottomless iced teas with the meals though I believe they use powdered iced tea. The only drawback is that the place can get really hot and a little smoky when they are cooking the meat and the poor air-conditioning sure doesn't help.

    When, like my sister and me, Mediterranean food is your comfort food and you want to eat it in a…read moresimple, no-frills place like we do, head to Ababu Persian Kitchen. Good thing there's one located across my office! I love their Chicken Rice Meal, which, at Php 139, comes with grilled chicken breast, a cup of rice, a slice of butter, some corn, tomatoes, onions, and a sunny-side-up egg. A bit of warning, though: the grilled chicken is really just that. It's not grilled barbecue-style so it's sauce-free, which is good news for weight watchers. It's a heavy meal, enough to fuel you from lunch to dinner. In fact, it has become my go-to lunch for days when I practice hot yoga after office and afternoon snacks are a no-no. My sister, the shawarma lover, loves their Shawarma Rice--no surprise! Their meals include unlimited yogurt dressing (of course!) and unlimited iced tea! Don't be surprised when they offer you one pitcher though you're dining alone. Though certainly amusing, that pressured me to drink more iced tea than I normally consume!

The falalels, however, were really small and tasted pretty bland. I've had better and I could do without the salsa-like sad excuse for a salad. I'm giving the restaurant a generous 2 stars for the experience as a whole. This is gonna be long so I apologize. First of all it was very unprofessional how their staff was sitting in the balcony area vaping and customers had to ask them if they could use their table. Secondly, my friend and I met here to catch up over dinner and beer, and because she's a zomato gold member, she can avail of perks like a "buy one get one" beverage promotion, Which the restaurant had hard printed copies of by the way with the terms and conditions clearly printed on the back. However, when I went to pay for the bill I noticed they charged us for each beer instead of just one for the price of two. Long story short, there was a "discussion" between my friend, the cashier, their manager and zomato support over the phone. The restaurant didn't want to honor the zomato gold deal and said the canned beer we got didn't count. Although, as I pointed out to the girl, was nowhere stated on the T&Cs. She obviously didn't read it carefully. She was at a loss so she called the manager who told my friend that they only do it for other drinks. Zomato asked why not. The restaurant finally gave in but said this would be the last time. Don't agree to deals you can't commit to. It's embarrassing when you're obviously just trying to find loopholes. Sketchy business practices. And please give your staff a place to have a break, eat, have a smoke. When will businesses here ever learn that usually the customer is always right...

    Okay, I held off reviewing Greek Kouzina for awhile because I wanted to try more of their menu and…read moretoday I got the chance. One thing I never fail to order is their stuffed zucchini because it's really good and feels really healthy... it's "greek rice with pine nuts, raisins and tomatoes stuffed in zucchini". However, today I found out that they modified their menu and there's no longer stuffed zucchini (sob!); instead, they changed it to stuffed red bell pepper! Badly needing my rice fix, I ordered it anyway, but very doubtfully. We also got the beef gyros (small pieces of beef, greens, and feta cheese in pita wrap) and the crispy calamares. The good news is, the stuffed red bell pepper was surprisingly even BETTER than the zucchini. It's the sweetest pepper I've ever tasted! Truthfully I'm not a fan of bell peppers because the green ones turn me off so I thought they all taste weird, but this red bell pepper was a game changer for me. TRY IT TRY IT! The other ones we ordered were pretty good as well. So far, I haven't tasted anything that I particularly disliked from Greek Kouzina. I also like their Lamb Meatballs. For dessert, their Greeka Yogurt is a must-try. The honey mixed with yogurt is amazing. If you run out of honey you can always ask for more.

I was ecstatic when I discovered the North-based restaurant has now a branch in the Fort. In Greeka Kouzina, you get good quality dishes. From just ordering the Hummus, to the Spanakopita to the Eggplant Dip - you will be satisfied from the appetizers alone. The Fig Roka Salata is always a common dish to order (walnuts on anything makes dishes taste better). For mains, either focus on getting a gyro or splitting a pasta and the Roast Lamb with someone. The Greeks tend to overdose on yogurt sauce so don't be afraid to spread the sauce on all your dishes. It might make everything taste the same, but hey you can't go wrong with a whole lot of Greek yogurt! For dessert, try the authentic Baklava - it's this yummy "cake" that's actually layers and layers of phylo pastry with pistachio, walnuts and cashews (and again, it's topped with yogurt). Really good stuff!
