Many thanks to tge staff for the awesome experience and greetings. Karen Kare is so delicious and fantastic, & filled with love! ❤ cheers!

They offer Amazing Filipino food buffet. The price is very affordable and worth every penny. I love their deserts and the food is very tasty. Really captures the true Filipino taste. And the best of all, the staffs are very friendly. We love their hospitality and service.

First time in this restaurant. We went for a buffet for only 29aed per person. Food was nice. We had prawns and crab dish. The atmosphere was nice and relaxed and the service was good. We went around 3pm on a Saturday and it was nice and quiet. Would definitely recommend.

When in a foreign land...you usually look for a piece of home away from home...😊 If you enjoy a buffet of Filipino food and delicacies, this is one of the places for you...Their kare kare is one of the best I tasted..The shrimps are good as well...Im just not fond of the soups they serve. 😓 There were variety of dishes but there is more in their Dubai branch..😊

Terrifically amazing service crew... delicious food

Good number of food choices, fantastic taste, nice place and great staff..worth the money at 49/AED (Dinner). Will be coming back for sure...

Food options were less than expected. Around 4 main dishes (1 chicken, 2 seafood, 1 beef), 1 pasta and 2 types of rice. They had assorted sweets and the grill was always open and ready. Hopefully they will add more main courses in the future.

I remember my first time here in this restaurant and glad I tried that. The varieties filipino cuisine that served were worth the price. Although there is a room for improvement for the number of dishes that can be serve. It is highly recommended especially if you missed the filipino food back home, from soup to filipino cuisine, to desserts. Over all Im still satisfied. It is definitely a go.

The best Filipino buffet in Abu Dhabi.Eat all you can for only AED 49.00Nice place & extremely friendly staff.Their Kare-kare is absolutely delicious!

The food is tasty if your homesick and crave for filipino food, but the bbq were so dry, its looks like... been cook yesterday 🙄

Good place for a buffet. Reasonable price for the food being served. Approachable Pro-active staff.

I had the best Buffet Dinner at Reasonable Price.

There is no special about their food. It’s buffet but limited choices and there is nothing special.

Yey! This is one of my favorite buffet restaurants 😍 All food was so good! I missed my country more.

Delicious 😋 food, beautiful ambiance, and good services

Proper Asian food which I didnt like very muchLot of options for Filipino people.

You can find this Filipino Buffet restaurant inside Madinat Zayed. Very affordable and accommodating staff.

Good service and health protocol.Delicious food

The food was good, how ever on Sunday December 6, we had a poor experience . I feel it is important that you be aware of the behavior of your employees and would like to provide u with the opportunity to respond.we already raised the issue but no feedback at all..

Staffs are accommodating well trained in terms of customer service, some food are good and some of them are not good... specially the siopao.

Good, affordable lunch buffet with live cooking station ... Beef kare kare a must try

Food is above good and what makes the experience even more worth it not only the cooks and all back of the house but also the front of the house team who greets you with smile and welcome you warmly and giving you excellent service until the last moment you step out of the restaurant 👏

Mouthwatering Filipino foods and drinks.. My favOrite sagOt guLaman taste heaven.. Seems Like im in the Philippines ☺

Pinoy... top food restaurant ..enjoy 49 AED buffet

One of the best Filipino Buffet in Abu Dhabi.. Luv the food and an very affordable Price

I liked the place, and the foods are delicious. But some of the staff were not friendly. We hope youd be more hospitable and more friendly in the future. Thanks.

A small cozy restaurant in madinat zayed shopping center. Philipino cousin ,open buffet which is cheap and ok. The price is 49 dirham per adult. The buffet is small yet have good selection of food,sushi and grill,they always have a small room dor karaoke. Staff are really nice,kind,helpful and fun. They played some music for fun to cheer the counters.

The worst Philippines food I ever tasted, not recommended at all

Ambiance 5 starFood 4.5 star [fish dish (bangus)today needs improvement..other than that everything was perfect]Staff 5 star. All smiles. Fast serviceThey are currently offering lunch buffet at 29 aed with a lot of variety for main course and dessert. From what I remember they have beef nilaga, pancit, kare kare, fried chicken, crabs and shrimp and you can aslo try to ask them to cook (i just forgot but they have a station for that). They also have sushi rolls. Not that good but its so-so.For dessert they have kiwi cake, maja blanca, palitaw, buko pandan (and i think 2 more dessert. I just forgot.)They also have different kinds of salad like kani salad, chicken salad (and i believe 2 more salads which I also forgot). For fruits they have watermelon and pineapple.All of the above mentioned menu is included in the 29 aed buffet.Street food at 1 aed each ( isaw.adidas.hotdog.chicken)Iced tea at 5 aed (bottomless fast refill)Value for money 5 star.Will definitely be back again. (2nd time with another set of friends.) The friends I brought here today said they will come back with their other friends because they were satisfied of the service.the food and the price.

Food is Good!!! And service is awesome!!! 💕💕💕

Yummy food and great place to celebrate occasions. Had real fun tonight!

Fantastic restaurant and masarap food , i like it soo much

A nice restaurant inside Madinat Zayed Shopping Centre in Abu Dhabi that serves all-you-can-eat Filipino buffet that is frequented by Filipino expats and their families with live band playing Filipino music to entertain the customers while they are eating. The food is sumptuous and the ambiance is nice. Some customers may not like the loud noise of the live band.

Very delicious and authentic Filipino food. Ate here a number of times and never seem to leave from here unsatisfied. All their food tastes great, didnt try anything that i didnt like so far. Must try their buffets on Fridays and Saturdays. Love their desserts 😍.The staff are so friendly, helpful and polite.Anyone would love the place from their first visit.

Love the food and great place. Staff are accomodating

Spacious, neat and clean. It serves philipino food. Staff are helpful and always smiling. We had many items like papaya salad, tuna make, salmon make prawn tempura maki, Grilled season tuna and more. All tasty. Good service and fair prices.

The restaurant is spacious. It has comfortable seats. I suggest sitting right in front of the main course foods as the furniture is more comfortable and if your planning on having frequent trips, that is if your going to be refilling your plate more often, that is that is the best place to be. I also suggest taking small portions of each food so that you will know what to take more on your next refills. They also have a very nice selections of desserts. I like the popular Filipino dessert buko-pandan and they also have a halo-halo station near to the ice cream maker. Overall, my AED49 is worth it. The only thing that I am still hoping the restaurant will include in the price is the drinks. The reason why Im giving it a 4-star rating.

Sulit! Really worth the trip when you dine here! Staff are amazing! Love the menu, for its a variety!But make sure you come with an empty stomach, its an open buffet!

It was my first time in this restaurant and glad that the food served were worth the price! It was highly recommended by a friend and I did brought my friends here too for a try! Happy that their tastebuds were satisfied. Keep it up!

I love Hot Palayok Abudhabi, andLoads-Varieties of food!Happy tummy everytime we dine in with family and friends!Ambience, price-Food and Service is perfect, highly recommended for any type of occasion.Thank You Management and staff for your dedication and warm welcome.We love you guys..Linda and family..

Food, service, venue are all so great. Best for those who love Filipino and Asian cuisines. Buffet meals at 49 AED (about 17 USD) per pax. Four stars because I know they can still improve what they have now.

Great service! Every staff makes sure they served their guest promptly and politely. Plenty of sumptuous dishes from filipino, asian and even international. Ambiance is very cozy modern classic interior plus the head turner murals. They also have a private room good for 20-25pax that has a videoke and a disco lights perfect for special occasions.

Nice food and friendly staff

Love.it! The customer service is just perfect

The staff are friendly and the food is nice.

We had a lunch buffet for AED29 per person. They had rice, sea food, chicken, beef, noodles, ice cream, cake, salad, pudding and fruits. Great value for money.

Nice food and clean place and very accommodating staff and manager

Best value for money. Food is tasty, service is extra friendly and it must be the best value for money to be had in the city. Do not miss this restaurant.

Its my second time eating there the food is good super Pinoy taste but need more choices , yummy

Prices and food are good, but i just find one of their staff really weird, quite overacting on his marketing acts

One of my favorite. but a little uncomfortable to ask staff for spooning foods every dishes due to covid circumstances.

Been here for lunch time buffet. Good value for money and decent food. A fair bit of choice. Location is not the best and can get a bit noisy.

Great food and a clean place

All you can eat filipino foods. The sushi bar is a mess, its not salmon and tuna thats inside the sushi but hotdog and chicken and other mess (an insult to Japanese cuisine).

Great sevice,delicious Filipino food😋
