By far one of the best tasting shawarma I've ever tasted and would order again. Although I might just stick with ordering take out simply because of an order mistake where we wanted to get fries before we left but got beef rice instead. It would have been no problem if the female server took accountability for the misheard order. I would still highly recommend since the place was nice and the food was beyond amazing.

As a Turkish, I love their Shawarma. I ate 1 zurna beef and 1 zurna chicken. Their shawarma and ayran (which is yogurth drink with salty and sweet option) Best Turkish shawarma restorant in Manila for sure! If you are crious about real Turkish food, you should visit here :)

Got to attend the 2nd day of their Grand Opening. I loved their wraps! Also loved their garlic sauce however the other one wasnt that spicy.. or maybe its meant that way? No questions with regard to food taste but I hope the service could be improved - utensils were given later after the food was served.

A friend introduced me to this humble Turkish-Mediterranean restaurant, and from the very first bite, I instantly fell in love with the food. I’ve had my fair share of shawarma, but Chef Memo’s is truly on another level! I highly recommend the Memo Special Shawarma, Chicken Tikka with Rice, and their rich, creamy Hummus — all perfectly paired with their Plain Yoghurt drink. I eat here at least 2–3 times a week, and I can confidently say na hindi ko talaga pagsasawaan ang pagkain dito. If you're craving authentic, flavorful, and soul-satisfying food, this is the spot!

It was our first time trying their food and it really authentic. We loved the flavor and the taste. You get what you paid for in terms of serving. Pricing is a bit high however, for the taste willing to pay the same amount again.

Owner is very hands on! Serving is Huge really loved it. Every time we go back here store improves both the food and the store. Food taste is great, the taste is on point and meat doesn’t have the hard stuff (fats, hard to chew ligaments). Pure meat. Also check there Sumak Salad and Hummus Solid! First time we ate here there was no aircon but check their store now very cozy and has the mediterranean vibe.

First time to try authentic Turkish food in Philippines. Normally you get only Mediterranean cuisine from Greek restaurants. I am reminded of excellent Turkish food in Riyadh. I love this restaurant.

When I found the spot on the Google maps, I knew I had to try it someday. When it comes to the pricing the shop is a bit expensive but they have quality to back it up. Ratings: Chicken Shawarma 3.5/5 The taste is simply chicken shawarma. Zurna Shawarma Beef 5/5 It had me puzzled at first because the taste is unique, it is kind of a beef curry taste. Condiments: Garlic sauce 4/5 It has a good amount of garlic and is enjoyable. Spicy sauce 4/5 Not that spicy but it may be for others and love the amount of tomato in it.
