Aurora Kusina — Restaurant in England

I've had this particular restaurant on my list to visit for such a long time but I live a little far out from Shepton Mallet. As my mum is Filipino I always like to find gems like this that remind her of home in the Philippines and Aurora Kusina did not disappoint! I took her here as a belated bday treat.

Honestly, the food was outstanding. I can see the "twist" on the traditional Filipino dishes but the essence of that "home cooked" feeling was not lost. Definitely brought me childhood feels.

We shared a bit of everything; Aurora's OG Lumpia, Longganisa Meatballs, Chicken Adobo and Kaldereta. The No Waste Turon was a lovely end to our meal, as recommended by Amber.

I called in advance to take home a couple Ube Cheesecakes and a few Mango Floats and it was SO appreciated by my fiancé and family who couldn't join us. I personally think I should have brought home more!

Amber and Ross, thank you again for the sensational food and wonderful hospitality! Will definitely...

A Hidden Gem: Cozy, Delicious, and Full of Heart ❤️

If you’re looking for a place that feels like home and serves food made with love, look no further than this incredible Filipina restaurant. Tucked away like a hidden treasure, this cozy little spot completely won me over from the moment I stepped in.

The atmosphere is warm and inviting,the kind of hospitality that instantly makes you feel like part of the family. The space may be small, but it’s bursting with charm and heart.

The vegan options are not just thoughtful add-ons, they are fully fledged stars of the menu..

What makes it even more special is the couple behind it all. You can see the pride in what they do, from the way they greet you to how they present every plate. It’s not just a meal—it’s a heartfelt experience.

Whether you’re vegan, curious about Filipino food, or just want a warm, joyful place to eat, this spot is an absolute must. Can’t wait...

Amazing, authentic Filipino comfort food, lovely drinks, and a great atmosphere! Definitely worth the journey, even if we don't live in Shepton Mallet. A must-go for anyone who wants to try Filipino food, with some veggie and vegan alternatives. They've got a new summer menu as well, so lovely, fresh options!

We had the Aurora's OG lumpia, the Humba, and the Chicken Inasal. Plus some lovely sides: the grilled corn and the spicy pineapple salad.

They're also very good with allergies and accommodating for any needs. They have a lovely selection of cocktails with Filipino liquors and mocktails as well.

Must book though, as we found out (when we got there, as we booked in advance) that they were fully booked for the evening.

Side note, they do offer a pick-up service as well, but you need to book in a slot, as they have a small-ish kitchen and fit the take-away options around their seatings. Definitely...
