About Manila Grill

Manila Grill, located in Alley 51 Food Hall, offers a mixed experience for diners. The chicken adobo is a standout, with a slightly sweet but delicious flavor. The perfectly steamed rice and tasty lumpia also receive praise. The beef Kare-Kare, although taking some time to prepare, is worth the wait for its nutty peanut sauce. The food court setup is convenient for groups with varying tastes. Vegetarian options are limited, catering more towards meat dishes. The Lechon kawali, sisig tacos, beef tapa, and pork adobo are also authentic Filipino dishes. Diners should try the kwek kwek, deep-fried quail eggs coated in a perfectly crispy batter, served with a flavorful and tangy manong sauce, which is an absolute must-try. The pork isaw, grilled pork intestines on skewers, is smoky, tender, and bursting with flavor. The service was top notch and the food was authentic, flavorful and piping hot. Lumpia, Longganisa, Halo halo, and Adobo are all fantastic and made with love.
