    When they said ‘Royal’ they meant it. The restaurant is a 4-story building with sports bars, private rooms, and a sky lounge. Come over to enjoy their wide selection of curries, Indian dishes, and Pakistani cuisine at the Royal Indian Curry House at General Luna St, Poblacion, Makati.

    Diners feel like they are dining to match the opulence of India’s royal courts. Additionally, the restaurant also is the place for sports popular in India like cricket and baseball.

    The Royal Indian Curry House or RICH is Manila’s first Indian sports bar and restaurant. They offer northern Indian dishes and even Pakistani cuisines such as the chicken korma (Php 479). The owners are Nepalese who grew up in India and their chef, Surat Rana, is also from New Delhi, India. They make sure that the dishes in RICH are just as their name suggests: royal and rich.

    As a curry house, they have a long list of curries on the menu but they have shared with us their most popular curries. No doubt you will love them too!

    Mutton Rogan Josh (Php 499) 

    A lamb dish curry, RICH’s Rogan Josh is one of the dishes foodies have been talking about. Usually made with spices like fennel seeds and dry ginger, this spicy curry is perfect for any day with their plain naan (Php 119).

    Murgh Makhani (Php 439)

    Best served with cheese naan (Php 199), RICH’s Murgh Makhani is something you will soon think of even in your dreams. Known also as the Indian Butter Chicken, the dish is among the best known Indian foods all over the world because it could be made mild and especially creamy!

    Chicken Korma (Php 479)

    For heavy eaters, we recommend their chicken korma. The dish traditionally consists of meat, vegetables braised with yogurt while the stock and spices produce a thick sauce is surely what dreams are made of. This is best enjoyed with plain Basmati rice (Php 179).

    RICH’s other branch is in Mall of Asia By the Bay while this 4-story building in General Luna St, Poblacion, Makati. Great for late night hangouts and, you guessed it, curries.

    Palm Grill in Quezon City: Discover the Bold Flavors of Zambasulta Cuisine
    Palm Grill in Quezon City is a one-of-a-kind dining destination that brings the authentic cuisine of South of Mindanao to Luzon. Established in 2017, Palm Grill proudly serves the rich flavors, vibrant culture, and storied history of the Zambasulta region—Zamboanga, Basilan, Sulu, and Tawi-Tawi—offering diners a rare opportunity to explore Southern Mindanaon dishes without leaving Metro Manila. Known as the only authentic Southern Mindanaon restaurant in Luzon, Palm Grill goes beyond simply serving food. It showcases culinary traditions deeply rooted in Tausug and Zamboangueño heritage, highlighting ingredients and cooking techniques that are not commonly found in mainstream Filipino restaurants. A must-try for first-time diners is the Dulang (Php 1,119)—a specialty tray traditionally served during royal banquets. This curated sampler features a variety of Palm Grill’s signature dishes, making it the perfect introduction to the bold and layered flavors of Zambasulta cuisine. Presented generously and meant for sharing, it reflects the communal spirit of Southern dining. Another standout is the Tiyula Itum (Php 560), a striking black beef soup from the Tausug community. Cooked with lemongrass, galangal, turmeric, garlic, onions, and pepper, its distinctive dark color comes from burnt coconut meat, which imparts a deep, smoky richness. Often described as “Bulalo 2.0,” it offers a comforting yet complex flavor profile that surprises and delights. For something hearty and satisfying, the Beef Satti (Php 300) delivers skewered beef served with a flavorful sauce that perfectly balances sweet, savory, and spicy notes. It’s a beloved Southern staple that captures the bold personality of Mindanao’s cuisine. Through its thoughtfully prepared dishes and dedication to authenticity, Palm Grill continues to champion the culinary identity of Zambasulta. For diners in Quezon City seeking flavors beyond the usual Filipino fare, Palm Grill offers an immersive experience—where history, culture, and cuisine come together in every bite.
