Introduced to the public on October 2017 by former Pinoy Big Brother Housemate Kian Kazemi, Kite serves grilled dishes and Mediterranean cuisine, which are mostly from the actor’s homeland of Iran
Many of the dishes served contain a healthy mix of vegetables and beans such as their plate of Vegetarian Samosa (Php 125). This classic crispy samosa is among the favorites either for starters or as a side dish.

For rice, Mediterranean meals are known for their long-grained Basmati rice (Php 65). You can pair this rice to a more exotic, street food choice—boiled Ox Brain (Php 119) which, according to Kite, is definitely not for the faint-hearted.
