Mess Hall acts as a modern cafeteria complete with self-service counters and long communal tables. With a very spacious area and minimal wood and bark design interiors, this restaurant will surely attract customers for its interesting setup.
Mess Hall serves as TMG’s private playground housing all its restaurant brands and its must-try dishes. This includes Manam’s House-style Sisig, 8Cut’s Burger Bomb, Ooma’s Cheese Katsu Curry, Shawa Wama’s Primo Beef, and more.
