Kabayan Zone Cafe — Restaurant in Abu Dhabi

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐I had an amazing experience at Kabayan Zone Cafe! 😄🇵🇭 If you're craving delicious and affordable Filipino street food, look no further than this place. 🍛🍢 We visited during the UAE's 52nd Union Day, and it was a fantastic way to celebrate. Being part of this well-known café was truly special. We had the pleasure of meeting Girly, the star of the restaurant, and her incredible team. They made us feel welcome and served us mouthwatering dishes. 👩‍🍳🌟 The dedication and passion they put into their work is truly inspiring. Although the man behind the camera was not present, it's clear that he supports his team wholeheartedly from a distance. 📸💪 May God continue to bless him, Girly, and the entire business as they continue to create culinary wonders for the community. 🙏🍽 Kabayan Zone Cafe is a hidden gem that I highly recommend to everyone. Don't miss out on the chance to indulge in their delightful Filipino cuisine. You won't be...

I ordered 1.ginataang tulingan with rice (12aed) and 2. Chicken BBQ (6aed), both were exceptional dish and prepared the lutong-Pinas way.

The Price Easily tops all other Filipino restaurant within the area. I regularly spend 20-26aed per meal. With the delicious tulingan-combo, I can spend the change to something else or a dinner. The 6aed BBQ is hard to beat especially if you will use this as baon-to-work.

The Taste The food tasted exceptional and will easily make the Barrio fiesta looked like a 3rd rate school canteen ration. It is not as salty as Deli, nor hot/spicy as S&B.

The Quantity Serving size is acceptable, bigger than what I had expected.

What needs improvement? I'd vote for the rice. It is dry and any kabayan can easily tell it's reminiscing the cheap NFA rice back home.

Will I be back? Definitely, I'd taste all their menu in the coming weeks and will update my review...

Very Disappointed!!! Given that the weather is hot and humid.. food is dry ( its already in display) taste quite not good maybe its cooked for display I dont enjoyed it at all.. Not worth to spend your money..sorry but this is only based on my experienced. I ask the food server to dine and yet I was waited for 22 minutes waiting.. I ordered at 9:01 PM I called out 2x and cant wait anymore as i know food is cooked and no need to wait longer than 22minutes but based on my experience today, food server is not attentive and cared despite of the hot weather outside.. I believe that there has a room to improve and hopefully it will not happen to other customer what I...
