Mayari Restaurant — Restaurant in Angeles

Small but cozy and unique ambience. It’s not hard to find and very accessible. The door is a sliding door, mind you. I made a mistake of pushing/pulling it and just figured it’s a sliding door. They should put a sign coz I’m not the only idiot who tried to push the door, lol. Great service and friendly staff. They allow pet dogs. I asked for a sweet cocktail and they suggested Hanan and it is indeed sweet and delicious. We had it on promo so it’s on bogo. The cheesy fries are good, didn’t need the ketchup coz the cheese is already sweet. Got disappointed with Tuna Panga coz it’s too salty. I thought it’s going to be on a sweeter side just like a Filipino bbq. The one I tasted somewhere is subtly sweet. It has a soy sauce mix for dipping but it doesn’t complement the grilled panga at all coz they’re both salty. Got also disappointed with the Lechon Kawali. As you can see in the photo, it’s more like a Lechon taba. I can get a better, chunkier (with right amount of fat) lechon kawali at Z Tapas for only ₱200 with rice and egg on top already. I mean, sorry, but the menu, at least the two main dishes mentioned needs improvement...

My friend saw this place on Tiktok. Figured it’s a cool place to hang out that’s why we decided to check it out. We came on a Friday night and only three draft beers were available + other beers in can. No music. 🥴

No bartender = no cocktails. 🥲 on a friday night!😭

The staff gave each one of us a menu and gave us ample time to scan it. After deciding what to order, I noticed her writting on a tissue paper… She’s jotting down the food items that were only available that night. 🥲 on a tissue paper! 😭

Food was served quickly and good thing it tasted good. Staffs were accommodating. They gave us draft beer shots to try so we could decide which one to order.

The place has potential. I hope the management could do something to improve...

The place is certainly charming. It looks like a regular house in the outside but when you enter, it's completely like a different space.

The food is great, big servings. What's unique about the place is their signature Cocktails.

They do offer buy 1 get 1 for some of their cocktails.

Another thing worth mentioning is their selection of Craft beers from parts of the country. Some fruity, some completely new to the taste buds.

As for the overall pricing. Manila Rate because it sells the ambiance, the food and beverages as a total package.

Worth going to with friends after a...
