Swagat at The Columns — Restaurant in Makati

A pocket of culture at the side of a condominium building at Makati!

Has a lovely and relaxed ambiance, lovely during daytime and busy during dinner hours.

The food is lovely, reminds me of the samosas my uncle would make, only it lacks something, however the sauces provided for it made it taste better! Their roti were nice, I guess a bit too small. The mushroom paneer was heavy yet so light, and the flavor packs a subtle touch! I loved their tamarind sauce and green sauce that I had to ask to take home some!

Their loli however was a bit to dry and crumbly, I liked mine that had a much more firm shape.

The staff are nice, however they missed our first orders of jamun, a desert I have not had for a decade, we came back for it hoping we can still get it, however they can’t because it has been registered in their inventory, sad. So we decided to sit again, order it again, along with roti and parathas that I love and can’t wait to have for dinner tonight, except I did not get my jamun again, the second time! (This time, it wasn’t punched in the receipt.) their service when it comes to taking orders need improvement.

Also, 10 pesos for each foil packaging for take outs?! What!? I’m let down about...

They are having some extra attitude now after coming here..

1 star is the minimum to give rating , I want to give in minus actually. I have ordered food at 8:30 and the food delivered at 10:10, this is the slowest serving restaurant I have ever seen in Manila.

In order to comment over your feedback on the review.

1. we are pleased to have freshly cooked food but the food which we have ordered at 9:56 as per your time , food is not ready by 10:46 ....I have personally went to cash counter at 10:47 around and told them the veg related dishes didn't served yet and it's already late. The lady who is present at the counter was so rude ,you can check since you have the audio recordings .

You should understand the emotions of the customers also, since the veg related items didn't delivered/served even after 1 hour of order .

We felt bad when they said there are no glasses to server water at...
