Habanero Kitchen Bar

Had an early dinner last Jul27 with my friends. We ordered the spiced beef and buttered chicken. Also, camote chips for appetizers. Food: We liked the beef and chicken however it both tasted sweet. But i really love the camote chips ! Service: Crews were nice and accommodating Atmosphere: Air-conditioned, however our area lacks lighting.

Our family came habanero on a saturday 1pm, you have to have your name listed and leave your name and number as its packed and parking is first come first serve basis. Food we ordered was for sharing and it tastes was amazing except for the wings which the flavor was confusing. Invited my family which has never had food here and they said food is worth the wait. Will probably come again with another batch or people. Ps. What we ordered is too much for 4 people and we have the rest for togo and also we were seated outside so theres a smell of tabaco smoke outside which was the downside.

The food here was really good. There was a long line when we arrived but the wait wasn’t too bad. They have alfresco dining downstairs and an air-conditioned area upstairs. It gets hot outside, which is expected with the weather here. Service was great, the waiters were very helpful and attentive. As for the food, everything was tasty. The pizza was the best for me, super crunchy and flavorful. The mango sauce was spicier than I expected though. The lamb kaldereta was also amazing, very rich in flavor and definitely worth trying. The lechon was just okay, a bit bland even with the vinegar. The tortang talong was interesting, cooked more like okonomiyaki with a lot of beef. It was good, but the beef kind of overpowered the eggplant. The spam fries and wings were average, nothing too special. Overall, it was a fun experience. A bit on the pricey side, we spent around 5k but we did order a lot.

Visited Habanero Kitchen Bar last October 9th during lunchtime and decided to sit upstairs for the airconditioning since it gets quite warm downstairs. We ordered their Habanero Lechon (thankfully, they have a half-kilo option instead of just one kilo) and Oyster Sisig. The food came out fast, and both dishes hit the spot! The lechon, their best seller, was perfectly cooked, flavorful, and had that spicy kick that made it even better. The oyster sisig was a surprise favorite, with just the right crunch that added texture and flavor. For the location, It’s a bit of a walk from Araneta Center, so I suggest parking inside Cubao Expo instead of coming from Gateway (we learned that the sweaty way)! Definitely a spot I wouldn’t mind coming back to. Will try their pizza and chicken wings next time.

i like their concept and ambiance of this resto. uniqueness of presentation of their food. taste was so good. the service was quite slow, but i think factor was dinner kasi kami pumunta and its friday. but overall its all good! recommended for those want to chill.

Good looking and great tasting food! I was mesmerized as to how sharing plates are indeed for sharing as we almost did not finish them (we were a group of 3 btw). The best part is the pizza where under the cheesy exterior is a creamy filling and best paired with their mango habanero hot sauce. I also appreciate how intricate they are in the details of the dishes. One thing that can be improved is the texture of the sous vide beef as it feels like ham rather than soft beef. Apart from it, a little contour on the aesthetic of the place can elevate the experience.

Scored their famous three-cheese pizza without the usual wait—pure cheesy bliss! Also tried the sardines pasta, pleasantly infused with a subtle zest. The nachos were a hit too, uniquely made with camote chips. Can't wait to try their celebrated lechon belly next time. If only Cubao Expo is closer, I’d be there every week.

Food? Solid. Service? Could be smoother. Tried this resto recently and honestly, the food was worth the wait—but yeah, there was a wait. It’s pet-friendly but only if you're okay sitting outside on the sidewalk tables (alfresco). There's indoor seating on the ground floor, but no pets allowed there. So if you're with your fur baby, you’ll need to wait for an outdoor table, depending on your group size too. Also, you can’t pre-order unless you're already seated. We had to follow up at least three times just to get a table. Staff was accommodating, but things felt a bit unorganized. That said, they were doing their best—it was a busy day and we really wanted to try the food anyway. Now the food—really good! My faves were the pasta and the three-cheese pizza. The crust was super thin and crispy, almost like crackers (in a good way). I didn’t get to try the wings because I got full from the lechon, but my friend said they were just okay—it was the sauce that threw it off. We also had the caldereta and sisig. Plating was nice, flavors were a bit generic, but still tasty. Oh! And their rice servings? Massive. Like 2 cups in 1. If you’re watching your intake, def share it with someone. Overall: Food hit the spot, staff was friendly but service could be a bit more streamlined. Would go back—but maybe on a chill day when I’m not starving.
