3/5 for the food. I ordered the hummus with falafel and a salad. The hummus was very standard in…read moreterms of taste. I've had better tasting store bought hummus so it was just eh. 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...

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.

Growing up, bulalo, nilaga and tinola were staples at home. When i went off to college instant…read morenoodles became my staple- they come in bulalo flavor too! LOL! 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.

Ambience: This was our first time dining in after the…read morerenovation, making the establishment look a bit wider. Since we were in the mood for a snack, we decided to check out their appetizers. 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!
