Spice Plates - Restaurant Calapan City — Restaurant in Calapan

It's not easy to locate, however it is set in a forest -like property, which appeal to me.

My son & me went there there for the South Asian dishes. Being a long time expats in the Middle East we were curious to find how the locals fare with the originals.

I must admit their Beef Masala is comparable (if not better!). Many memories comes rushing back.

Here's what I didn't like. Dinnerware are melamine, low quality and not restaurant standard.

The dining table looks like manufactured by your 2nd class carpenter neighbors and the seat has no backrest similar to a stool, resting on a coarse gravel floor.

Will I come back? Sure, but only for the near-authentic...

The place is quite secluded and is far away from the bustle of the city which makes it a perfect spot for hangouts with friends or family. They serve Indian and Filipino food which are right for the price. If you wish to stay longer in the night, however, you must be prepared for the mosquitoes and other flying insects around. Overall, the staff are very accommodating, food was served within reasonable time and the ambiance is...

Very disappointing experience… Ordered the Marsala fries… no Marsala and the dipping sauce was a mystery. Ordered chicken tikka Marsala … chicken was chewy, obviously frozen and not marinated in yoghurt as it should be. Basmati rice was decent and all food was hot. Server could have smiled a bit at least. Not a place I would return to as there are definitely better places...
