I kept seeing posts about this place and wanted to try it out. My family enjoyed! Food: hella tasty , all worth it. I like the Tagalog music in the background too! ;) service: staff was excellent and friendly! Ambiance: cool looking forward to returning.

Mango sticky rice
Kyla J.

Inda + Mely is a really fun modern take on Filipino cuisine, and I appreciate what they're doing with the menu. It feels like a thoughtful way to introduce Filipino flavors to a broader audience while still keeping the heart of the dishes recognizable. We came around 5 PM on a Friday and were surprisingly the only ones there for the entire hour we stayed, which made for a quiet, relaxed dinner. The space itself is very cute and cozy, with a warm atmosphere that feels inviting for a casual date night or dinner with friends. Parking is something to keep in mind. They have a very small lot on the side of the building with maybe 4 spots total, so I can imagine parking could be tricky during busier hours if those fill up. I was genuinely excited by the menu because there were so many creative options that sounded amazing. We ordered the kilaw lamang dagat, garlic butter sugpo, bistek tagalog, sisig carbonara, and mango sticky rice. Kilaw lamang dagat - Think Filipino-style ceviche. This was one of my favorites of the night. The seafood tasted fresh, and the coconut milk and lemongrass really came through beautifully without overpowering the dish. Super refreshing and well balanced. Garlic butter sugpo - Came with 5 large prawns that were cooked really well, tender and not overdone at all. The garlic butter sauce was rich and flavorful, though it leaned a bit saltier than I personally prefer. Still a solid dish. Bistek tagalog - Easily our favorite of everything we ordered. The beef was cooked beautifully, tender and flavorful, and the sauce was rich and satisfying. It came with fries, which honestly deserve their own mention because they were insanely crispy. We kept talking about how good the fries were long after dinner. Sisig carbonara - I know this seems to be one of their more popular dishes, but this one just wasn't for me. The portion is huge, so definitely shareable, but personally I didn't think the creamy pasta paired that well with the sisig flavors. Not a bad dish, just not something I'd order again. Mango sticky rice - A nice way to end the meal. Classic and comforting, though they add chocolate syrup on top, which made it sweeter than I expected. If you have a strong sweet tooth, you'll probably love it. Overall, I really enjoyed the experience and love seeing Filipino food presented in a fresh, modern way. Not every dish was a hit for me, but the creativity, atmosphere, and standout dishes definitely make this worth trying.

Menu

The food was good, but minus one star due to limited options for people seeking a diet low in saturated fats. The menu descriptions don't show the cooking methods. So if you are not familiar with Filipino food, you can unknowingly order foods that are deep fried or sopping with oil. Although they do have photographs, it's hard to tell the cooking method from the pictures. For example, they have an Okoy Salad listed as "shrimp + green papaya + rice powder". This is their only salad listing. We ordered it and were surprised to find that it was shrimp with deep fried items on a bed of greens. Another example was the Chili Garlic Chicken, listed as "annatto + peanuts + Chili + Aromatics". It was chicken that was breaded and appeared to be wok fried. Aside from the unhealthiness of the oil, the food was good. The Bistek Tagalog is slices of ribeye, served with French fries. Also good was the garlic fried rice, which comes in a very large bowl which easily serves four people. We visited on a Sunday around 7:30pm and were seated quickly. The servers were very friendly. The restaurant has their own parking lot.

Turon baklava
Joan B.

This place is amazing! We heard about it from the SF Chronicle and had to check it out. In all honesty, I came there to checkout the live music/karaoke on Thursdays and didn't have high expectations for the food. But this is probably the best Filipino food I've had in the Bay Area! The milk fish had so much meat. And I loved how they elevated typical Filipino dishes like sisig into a carbonara and turon into a baklava. The service was also great- the head chef even came out to greet us. It felt like a community in this restaurant. We'll definitely be back again!

Kare Kare- Kare (Ox Tail, brisket and Tripe)
Marlon J.

Probably one of the best Filipino spots here in the bay... absolutely loved the kare kare.. I do wish there was just a little bit more meat for the price but overall amazing. I also love how the owner has pictures of her and her family in the Philippines. The place is cute

Kare-Kare
David K.

Inda + Mely serves a contemporary, creative take on Filipino cuisine in a small, modernly-decorated restaurant space in San Bruno. For someone less familiar with Filipino food, much of the menu is almost unrecognizable, but the friendly staff was helpful with recommendations. To start, the Okoy Salad was a bed of greens topped with a crispy "bird's nest" fritter made of shredded papaya/carrots and a whole shrimp, fried in a rice powder batter, served with a vinegar dressing on the side. One of my favorite dishes was the Cebuchon Sinigang. Sinigang is typically a sour meat and vegetable soup, but Inda + Mely's "deconstructed" version came with crispy cebuchon pork belly served with sautéed vegetables (green beans, eggplant, okra, tomatoes, potatoes) and an acidic mango tamarind sauce. The best part of this dish was the chunks of pork belly, which had a nice balance of lean meat, fat, and crispy skin. Continuing on, the Laing was taro greens stewed with coconut milk and dried fish, topped with slices of pork shoulder; and the Sisig Carbonara was spaghetti in a heavy cream sauce, topped with crispy bits of chicharron and lechon (pork skin and belly). Both of these dishes were rather heavy but extremely flavorful. Finally, another highlight dish was the Kare-Kare, a stew of super tender oxtail, brisket, and tripe in a curry-like spiced peanut sauce, served with green beans, eggplant, and Shanghai bok choy. The best part was the unctuous, mildly spiced peanut sauce, which went perfectly with a side of beautifully yellow-tinged Garlic Fried Rice. Overall, the food here was delicious, creative, and beautifully-presented in a clean, modern setting with friendly service.

Sisig fries
Jennifer L.

We had a great weekend lunch with our family here. The lumpia and tortang talong were my faves. I also enjoyed the kare kare although it doesn't have a strong peanut flavor which is probably why I liked it. I thought the interior is bright and welcoming. We will definitely be back to try more of the menu!

We needed a hearty meal after picking up folks at SFO. This was near the airport and very convenient. There's a parking lot next to the restaurant with room for about 6 cars. Very friendly and attentive staff. The owner Raquel was there to assist us and she was friendly. We asked about the history of the restaurant, as the walls have photos of the family history. Food is very tasty, my favorite is the laing. The lechon with the pinakbet is really tasty. We were also pleasantly surprised with the Turon Baklava. If we're in the area, will definitely return.

First & last time here
Maria L.

We were hugely disappointed with our Sunday lunch experience here. The interior of the resto is warm and clean, the lady server was friendly however it's the food quality that sadly let us down. We ordered Kare-Kare ($37): bland and tasteless, helped slightly with a dash of shrimp paste (bagoong). The single piece of oxtail was tough as was the green bean topping. The sauce is FAR from the great kare-kare we've grown to love. The other big disappointment is the Pakbet con Lechon ($24). Both its pumpkin and okra were tough/hard to eat. The skin of the liempo was crispy at best but we really couldn't enjoy the meal with the sorry state of the veggies. Their longanisa spring roll ($20) has a crispy rice paper texture but the longanisa was a bit undercooked. Great tasting sauce though! The owner was focused solely on entertaining 1 table only and didn't bother checking/ touching base with the rest of the customers (4 out of 12 tables were occupied) There's a lot of better-tasting Filipino restaurants in the area that I'll return to. Some have faster service than the others. Not sure if this is a one-time off-day here but this first dining experience here will be our last.

Bistek Tagalog
Kay d.

Cute interior, interesting menu, but execution fell short. Bistek Tagalog was labeled ribeye but way too tough. Fries took up half the plate--crunchy with mayo, nothing special. Cebuchon with the wrong buro was better but still just okay. Smoked fish rice tasted more like plain garlic rice. All in: $96. Strong aesthetics, mid flavors, value didn't quite deliver.

Beef Kaldereta
Muriel T.

First and foremost, the Cebuchon Sinigang is truly out of the norm--an original, never-before-seen dish that brilliantly blends Cebuchon with traditional Sinigang. Instead of the usual broth, it features a tangy, slightly sweet, tomato-based purée. It looked amazing and tasted even better. The flavors worked exceptionally well and were a very pleasant surprise. If recipes could be patented, this one definitely should be. The Beef Kaldereta was also excellent. It stayed close to the traditional version but was elevated by the addition of a Bleu potato purée at the bottom, which made the dish stand out. We originally ordered the Seafood Kaldereta but received the Beef instead. While that was a small service hiccup, we accepted it--and ended up really enjoying the dish--so it became an acceptable mistake. The restaurant itself had great décor and thoughtful table arrangements that elevated the overall experience. While the building looked older, it didn't feel run-down at all; everything was clean and appeared newly renovated. Parking can be a bit challenging due to the small lot, so street parking may be necessary. Overall, it was a great experience, and we will definitely be coming back.

Sinagang with bone marrow. Garlic rice. Sisig.
Joanna D.

The food was fantastic! Had a flavor twist with the sisig & sinagang. The sinagang came with a bone marrow & it was great! The garlic rice was delicious as well & we end it with Turon Baklava with ice cream. Very flavorful & tasty with the banana chips, biscoff bits & pistachio. Definitely would come back here again. Service was fast but that's because we went on a Friday lunch so there wasn't much people but it was nice. The interior designs are very instagramable. I like the bamboo chairs & wall arts.

Kat Z.

Came here on a Wednesday evening g~6:30p and were seated right away. This is a small family business and it's decorated very cute with lots of green. The ladies were all so friendly, patiently answering my questions about their cuisine and dishes. I don't eat a lot of Filipino food, so this is all new and exciting for me. We ordered the garlic rice, cebuchon sinigang, and kare kare -- all of which were really yummy. The pork with the mango sinigang sauce was so tender and the beef kare kare was great too. The ladies checked in on us and shared the family history behind the dishes. You could tell they really cared and wanted you to feel their sense of home. All of this for 75 (pre tip) and enough for two for the next day! Great sizes.

I actually thought that the food were good sized portions and prepared well. The empanadas were nice and flavorful, the avocado toast was as advertised and looked even better in person. The matcha latte was pretty tasty, as was the smoothie. The croissant could've used a little more chocolate to croissant ratio, but still pretty tasty. It was all so fresh and tasty and if you ask me, made with love. When we showed up the timing was ideal since we were able to snag a table and a parking spot with no issues. Service was amazing and everyone was so nice and easy to work with. Would definitely return to this spot if I'm ever back in the area.

I initially considered just letting it go, but ultimately felt that I should receive what I had actually ordered. I asked the barista if she remembered which milk she had used. She seemed to be in a sour mood, barely made eye contact with me, and told me to speak with the cashier because she had made what was on the receipt. Mistakes happen, and it's entirely possible that the milks were accidentally switched between the two drinks. I wasn't upset about the mistake itself. What bothered me was the dismissive response when I was simply trying to get the order I had paid for. I spoke with the cashier, who was kind and confirmed that my order was correct. She ultimately made me a replacement drink herself, and I have no complaints about her customer service. However, when I received my new drink, I thanked the barista and was met with complete silence. She took my original drink back, as though I would have wanted to keep a drink that I hadn't ordered in the first place. It's really disappointing to have this kind of interaction at a cafe I've always loved. A simple acknowledgment, apology, or even a basic level of courtesy would have gone a long way. Unfortunately, this experience has left such a bad impression that I won't be coming back.
