About Perla

Perla is a restaurant known for its indulgent and satisfying dining experience. The menu is focused, and everything they serve is done exceptionally well. The star of the meal is a platter of garlic rice, vegetables in a light "curry" sauce, lumpia, tender roasted chicken leg, a large portion of bone-in pork, a whole fish, and a chilled mousse with almond slivers for dessert. The food is served in a way that encourages eating with your hands, creating a communal and interactive dining experience. The garlic fried rice is often praised for being buttery, delicious, and a perfect vehicle for the generous portions of food. The curried vegetables and the roasted chicken are also highlighted for their flavors and tenderness.

Many diners enjoyed sharing their culture and found the atmosphere cozy, small, and personable. The fish was so good that some guests, who do not usually eat fish, ate plenty of it. The service is prompt, and hand wipes are provided before dessert. The prices are considered excellent for the amount and quality of food served, making the experience feel indulgent and celebratory. The restaurant also offers a BYOB option, and leftovers can be taken home, which many find hard to resist the next day. Overall, Perla offers a unique and satisfying dining experience, perfect for sharing with close friends or a partner.
