Persian Palate – 2/5 (Visited Dec 25) I ordered the Mango Lassi and Sizzy/Agoosh, and overall the experience was disappointing. Food quality wasn’t there. The chapati/pita was hard and dry, like it was old, which really dragged down the meal. Service was the bigger problem: my order took almost an hour (over an hour) to arrive. They kept accepting new orders even when the kitchen was clearly overloaded, but they didn’t tell customers the real waiting time, so expectations vs reality were way off. They were also clearly undermanned, which explains why service felt twice as bad — but that’s exactly why they need someone managing the floor. It felt like there was no supervisor/manager keeping things organized or communicating delays. Comfort-wise, the place was very warm inside—not comfortable for dining. Even small basics weren’t customer-friendly (like not being able to charge your phone while eating). If there was another Persian place nearby, I’d honestly choose that instead. Potential is there, but they need big improvements in freshness, staffing, communication, and comfort.

I ordered a falafel and tahini plate. The food was disappointing. When it was time to pay the bill, they add a 9% service charge and they didn't have change. I won't be back.

I had a hard time finding a Halal restaurant in the Philippines, but I'm glad I was able to go to this restaurant. The food was delicious and the staff was very friendly.
