Indian cuisine is characterised by its sophisticated and subtle use of many spices and vegetables grown across India and also for the widespread practice of vegetarianism across its society.
Inside Legend of India
Mainstream Indian Restaurants are not that common here in the Philippines even though there are a lot of Indians living here in the country or probably I am only living in my own world and never really bothered to find my way to try “uncommon” Indian restaurants. I guess there is only one name that prevails in the Mainstream Indian cuisine, which I won’t bother to mention in this blog post

Just a few weeks ago, we got an invitation to try out this newest Indian restaurant in Jupiter Street, Makati. It’s not all the time that Karla and I get to experience Indian cuisine so we immediately agreed to the invitation of the owner of Legend of India, Rakesh Alwani. Continue reading →
(Chicken Tikka Masala @ Php170 (?) and Chapatti @ Php 25 each)
I would always pass by this restaurant and would be curious on how the food tastes like. We tried New Bombay Restaurant in Glorietta 3 Makati and found ourselves fans of this cuisine. The very first time we ate at New Bombay was in their foodcourt stall at Food Choices Glorietta. We ate the chicken kebab and chicken curry there. Now we chose a different dish and actually tried to dine at the restaurant itself with the creatively designed interiors; there might be a different experience. Yes, it is different dining there than in the food court. We only ordered 1 dish which is Chicken Tikka Masala and 2 cups of plain jasmine rice. The waitress said that the Chicken Tikka Masala is their best seller so that’s what we ordered. Besides, we wanted something with sauce so that we could dip our chappatis on it. Continue reading →
“Ziggurat” is derived from the Assyrian term ziqquratu which means ‘high’. The word Ziggurat actually means temple ( like the ones in the Mesopotamian times).
This restaurant is located in Sunette Tower, Durban St. cor Makati Ave in Makati ( it’s actually near P. Burgos St). They’re open 24 hours by the way so if you’re craving for some authentic kebabs at the middle of the night, this is the place to go. We actually went there at 3 am, after having a round of drinks in Greenbelt 2.
The place is actually cozy and simple. It’s a bit small so it’s better to call for reservation if you’re more than 5 people. They have an open area and an enclosed area. You could also have some hookah there. Continue reading →
