Geluk Gentri exceeded my expectations and deserves a resounding 5-star rating. Here's a detailed review of the dishes we savored:
The Greek Italian Salad was a refreshing masterpiece. The vibrant medley of crisp lettuce, juicy tomatoes, Kalamata olives, and creamy feta cheese was elevated by a perfectly balanced dressing.
The Spaghetti ala Bolognese was a hearty and satisfying dish. The rich, savory meat sauce clung to the perfectly cooked al dente pasta, creating a comforting symphony of flavors.
The Shrimp Chimichuri was the highlight. The shrimp were impeccably cooked, tender and succulent, and the chimichuri sauce added a burst of fresh and herbaceous notes. The dish was a perfect balance of flavors.
The Barbeque Chicken Pizza was a delightful fusion of flavors. The crust was crispy, and the combination of smoky barbeque sauce, tender chicken, and a medley of toppings created a mouthwatering experience.
The Chicken Parmigiana, while impeccably presented, fell slightly short in terms of flavor excitement for my palate. The golden-brown, breaded chicken was well-executed, but the marinara sauce could use a bolder infusion of herbs and spices to elevate the overall taste. The melted cheese added a creamy touch, but a more robust sauce would undoubtedly enhance the classic Italian experience.
The Double Dark Mocha was the perfect conclusion. The rich, velvety dark chocolate melded seamlessly with the robust espresso, creating a decadent and satisfying beverage.
The ambiance, service, and, most importantly, the quality of the dishes make Geluk Gentri a must-visit dining...
Read moreNot a common Banawe resto. Ambience: I love how the interior is both classy and cosy. You definitely feel that you're dining out and yet comfortable enough to binge eat and socialize with family and friends. Food: THE MOST IMPORTANT PART. It lives up to the vibe of the place. Definitely worth it. GENEROUS serving and EVEN BETTER taste. I've been here numerous times and my mom is a big fan too. My recommendations are (basically everything I've tried. lol) Angus Ribeye Steak - better than Wolfgang's, at par with mamou's (good for 2-3 pax) Geluk Salad - staple. I've ALWAYS ordered this (2-4 pax) Geluk Rice - I usually order with Iberico Ribs (can feed 2-3 pax) Quatro Formaggi Pizza - chef's kiss especially if drizzled with honey Marry Me Chicken - I'd marry this food anywhere. MY FAVORITE. 😍❤️ Pork Piccata - go to meal without breaking the bank. serving can almost feed 2 pax if you're not that hungry, but you can easily down on your own because it's that good. Pasta dishes are all pretty good too. Olive Oil cake - a great way to cap off the satisfying meal Service: The staff are extremely welcoming and attentive, to the point where you question if you actually did drink water because it surprisingly refilled itself lol. And the owner, made it a point to check on customers and take note of our experience.
Now, I'm off to check out their...
