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 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...

As we looked at the prices for the variety of their hummus, we kept it simple and got our usual order. Lentil Soup: Pretty good! Just think monggo. If you like it, I'd recommend this. Hummus: One of the reasons why we love eating hummus (chickpea and sesame dip) at any branch is the bread coming in two pieces. Presentation was attractive and appetizing. Serving size was generous. Taste was simply perfect and I'll always love this dish, so much that I'd bring it to the movies instead of popcorn! Plain Lassi: I'm a fan of yogurt shakes! Sweet or salty, heck, I'll have it both ways! Service: They seemed pretty knowledgeable about their menu. We were asking for a simple soup recommendation and they suggested Lentil Soup, comparing it to monggo. That made our decision very easy! (for July 2018)

But when you put all the "arabian nights" clichés together - with pink walls, pink tables and coloured cushions - the chances of being kitsch are high. That's what happens with Ziggurat, in my opinion. I particularly didn't feel in Middle East. The extensive menu made me forget about the kitsch ambience and focus on the food. What makes Ziggurat interesting is that it offers dishes from every corner of Middle East - that includes countries less obvious them Morrocco, Siria, Algeria, Egipt and Libanum. Maybe you can try some recipe from Ethiopia or Pakistan. I liked the menu presentation. It's designed as a newspaper (Ziggurat Gazette) and there are some texts about Middle East cultures. I'm the kind of person who always read what's on the menu. If you like that, the gazette is nice to entertain you while you wait for your meal. Don't get that impressed with the amount of dishes possibilities, though. At first I said: "wow! It's 24h and it offers thousands of dishes from all these countries!". My husband told me he didn't believe it was possible to offer all that is there on the menu...well, I accused him of being negative, but when I told the waitress my first order, she said: "sorry, ma'am, it's not available". Then the same for my second choice. Hubby was right. We decided to order one of their best-sellers, so I would make sure it was available. As a starter, we had a Mezzo Mezze (hummus, muthabbah, jazar and mahroussa) with flat bread (kohbiz) and the Pakhistanese Bread called "roti". This one was definitely the best! I loved it. Then we shared a potato curry, which was tasty, but not extraordinary. For the main course I had a chicken shawarma and my husband had a kafta. He didn't like his, but my shawarma was tasty. To drink, I recommend their mango lassi. If you are curious enough, you can try one of their artisanal beers. Hubby had one from Ethiopia, with honey, which actually tasted like Coke for me.

Wohoo! I've been here last night and I can't stop talking about the food with my friends…read more Before Ziggurat, my middle eastern food experience is limited to just kebab and shawarma (Sad, I know). Even then, I didn't feel like the ones I've tasted are as authentic. Ziggurat just opened my eyes and palate to a whole new world. And while I really can't compare the food, cause I've been ignorant and haven't been exploring this food domain, the taste feels the real thing. Ziggurat's ain't going to get a Manila's Best Kept Restaurants award if it's not one of the best, if not the number 1 in nailing middle eastern food. I recommend going here if you like ambiance while dining. The restaurant's interior is designed with a patterned carpets, draped fabrics, throw pillows and low tables. People coming in are meant to remove their shoes and eat in a sitting position. Definitely going back to try other food from their menu! IT WAS SO GOOD. Me and my friends devoured the warm khobiz (flat bread) as soon as it was set on the table. We tried the hummus (pounded grabanzo beans with tahini) and mutabbal (grilled eggplant with tahini) for dips. We also got to taste the mixed kebab platter, made up of beef and chicken tikka and kulfeh. We also sampled their biryani and their lassi (a yogurt drink). The big star of the night was their lamb curry. It's unbelievable how creamy and rich it was! I only had a spoonful of that stuff but I wanted to mix a whole cup of rice with it. So gooooood!

On entering the restaurant, one cannot but notice the well-appointed red tablecloth tables with cloth napkins. The dishes at our disposal were many. They were Gambas (shrimp) in garlic and oil, potato croquettes, Spanish sausage, baked oysters, mushrooms, crostini with dip, chicken, spinach pizza and of course, seafood paella. To add to the cozy ambiance of this restaurant were three singers with Spanish guitars, serenading the audience in the restaurant. Our group got several renditions of Spanish ballads including, "Guantanamera". We sang along for this one. All the dishes were prepared well and highlighted their own distinct taste and flavors. My favorites were the croquettes, the baked oysters and the seafood paella. The croquettes were crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. The oysters though small, came 12 to a plate and were moist and well charred to bring out the baked parmesan fragrance. The seafood paella was the crown jewel of the evening. It contained several seafood varieties and was made fresh. It came out slightly charred at the bottom, as does any good paella. When scraped, mixed with the other contents, and eaten, one is rewarded with several bursts of aroma and taste. Table service was excellent. Muchas Gracias, Senores y Senoras.
