I'm pretty sure these 5 stars aren't at all influenced by the fact that I've been super craving for…read moreIndian food these past 2 weeks, as Al-Shams has GREAT Middle Eastern/Indian/Pakistani food. And what's also great is that for us vegans/vegetarians, here's a place in BF Homes where there are very, very decent options. They have a vegetarian section in their menu. We got the Alo Palak and Malai Kofta. Alo Palak is a potato and spinach curry dish that, in my opinion, is spiced perfectly as the spinach and potato flavors are still able to stand out even with the curry sauce. The Malai Kofta did not disappoint as well, and it actually looks so adorable (sorry haha) with tiny onion slices on top of each ball, as if they are wearing hats! Anyway, the veggie balls are really tasty--though if you're particular with texture, these balls are quite on the soft side. I really enjoyed my meal! I loved it so much that I think if Al-Shams closed (life spans of restaurants in BF homes are very short), I would be really, really sad.

Staff are not very engaging but they get the work done. WE ORDERED: - Samosas were stuffed with savory potato and peas, and served with mango chutney DELISH! - Butter chicken (tandoori chicken not used) had a yummy thick sauce. - Garlic naan was different from what I'm used to, it was grilled in a pan with cooked garlic imbedded in it. Good flavor with crisp edges. - Masala chai was ok - Fish pakora - these were good except for a few pieces that were undercooked. You can catch the white Hensonville jeep to get here. Minus a star for the loooong wait for food. Other than that, I will definitely be back when I have a craving for Indian cuisine.

You can purchase Goldilocks cakes here.

They use Filipino cheese (ick) with super thin and crispy shells (like a lumpia wrapper) made in house. Definitely NOT a Mexican taco. - Potato paratha was delish - (Masala) Milk tea was decent Delicious exotic spices are present in their dishes with a decent level of heat. We'll be coming back when we get a craving.

I'd say their chicken curry is good but what I cook is suited for my taste. Me and my colleagues have ordered the chicken biryani and naan (something like pita bread) chicken curry. The most notable thing is how spicy their yellow colored rice is (I believe it's called Biryani)! One colleague loved the Indian food and the other didn't like it. I was just okay with it but if it was in bigger serving, I wouldn't be able to stand the spiciness. They have tomatoes with coleslaw on the side to probably not be sick with it. Their chicken curry sauce compliments the rice and the naan. The place is a bit small but it's fine, Indian-themed, with red, white, and yellow colors. The service was bit slow, we had to tell the waitress in the cashier that we were gonna order already. But other than that, it was fine. The menu had some variety, I just think they can add more options in there. The price is just right for the serving size. I don't think they have other branches yet. It's a good idea they put up an Indian restaurant there cause it's very rare to find here. I will probably recommend this for Indian friends (if I'd have any) and probably those who want some new cuisine although I'm not a fan of Indian food. But this is honestly not gonna be on my worth going back lists.

Don't really have the…read morepower to walk and browse at other establishments, we ended up at Ganeza since it is very close to the escalator. Ganeza is a curry place that serves predominantly Indian food, although there are other types of curries like Japanese. We tried their naan, samosa, and vegetable rice since a lot were out of stock. Their naan is very good and made from good quality ingredients, very authentic too. It comes with a sauce and it is a meal in itself. The samosas are also tasty and has enough spice. The rice is spicy but good. We are happy with what we ordered. Service is fast and good. Can be a choice for future eats.

My visit here only adds to my experiences of small and modest places serving the best food. The samosas were a great starter and seemed a sign on how our meal will play out. My friends and I tried one another's orders, and they were all good. My favorite is the vegetable kofta curry, which are vegetable balls (they don't taste leafy at all!) with a cream for a dip. One of my friends ordered the vegan version of this (Do you know they have a vegan version of many dishes there? In fact, they have a separate vegan menu! How cool is that for the health-conscious?) I was able to try both versions of the kofta curry, and they were both good. I can't really tell the difference. I thought the meal alone was great, but the desserts proved to be winners, too. The homemade ice cream served with Indian spices is rich and satisfying, albeit its small size, and the gulab (brown cheese ball with syrup) is also rich though quite addicting.

We decided to take a Grab. MISTAKE!!! What the app estimated at a 15 minute ride turned out to be a slow 45 minutes ride. Was it worth it? Yup!!! There are five floors to the restaurant: Floors 1 & 2 are the dining area. Floor 3 is the sports bar with 2 pool tables. Floor 4 is the function room. Floor 5 is the "Jeepney Bar"; here they have belly-dancing & midget dancing - - we missed that, but there's next time. To boot, there is an elevator that takes up y to the top. We have never eaten Indian Food before, so we asked Jeffery to help out. After much debate, we decided on the following: Prawns Curry: prawns are good sized, not giant, & the curry is very tasty - - try it on top of some basmati rice. Mixed Vegetable Curry: it's not as saucy as the Curry Prawns. It's also very good. Prawn Biryani: rice, prawns, & spices served in a clay pot. Very good. Garlic Naan: simple spiced flat bread. Outstanding. Afghani Chicken: the best chicken I've eaten in the Philippine this trip!!! The best, no questions about it. Taste is great & the chicken is so moist. Wow!!! After the meal, Jeffery introduced us to the Chef & we let him know it was the best. Furthermore, we're on a low salt diet & nothing tasted salty at all. They do give you 3 dipping sauces: tamarind (great), mint (good), red hot sauce (it's hot!!!). Because this was our first time having Indian food, we were hesitant - - we worried for no good reason. If you've never had Indian food, like us, I can highly recommend it - - give it a chance. Enjoy.

The restaurant offers indoor and outdoor seating. The outdoor seating gives a great view of the Manila Bay but can be hot during most of the year. The interior decor of the restaurant is casual with tables and some casual sit down areas. Parking can get tricky with some wait times since the area is really busy at all times. Food and drinks : The menu is exhaustive with all possible options of the Indian cuisine. They also offer and Indo Chino option. Happy hour is between 5 pm and 7 pm where they offer a buy 1 get 1 free offer. They have a fully stocked bar. Salads, appetizers and the entrees were good. It was good food but definitely not the best Indian food in Manila. Service : was spotty at times, when the restaurant got busy. It dint seem like the restaurant was short staffed. Pricing : Moderately priced. Will I return? : Yes!
