The Resto Pinoy is an absolute gem in Abu Dhabi’s dining scene. I was excited to try this restaurant and it did not disappoint. I was blown away by their amazing buffet. As a Filipino myself, I was excited to try authentic dishes that I grew up with, and The Resto Pinoy definitely delivered.

The ambiance of the restaurant is cozy and welcoming, with traditional Filipino decor adorning the walls. The service was impeccable, with the waitstaff being extremely friendly and attentive to our needs.

The menu at The Resto Pinoy is filled with a wide variety of dishes, from classic Filipino staples like adobo and sinigang to more modern twists on traditional dishes. We ordered the adobo and sinigang, and both were cooked to perfection. The adobo was tender and bursting with flavor, while the sinigang was perfectly sour and had a great depth of flavor.

The buffet was filled with a wide variety of dishes, including the famous Crispy Beef Pata, adobo (marinated beef or chicken), sinigang (tamarind soup), and many others. All of the dishes were cooked to perfection and had the perfect balance of flavors.

One of my favorite dishes is the beef caldereta, which was cooked in a savory tomato sauce and served with rice. The beef was tender and the sauce was rich and flavorful. I also loved the chicken tinola, which was a refreshing ginger soup with chunks of chicken and vegetables.

We also tried the halo-halo, a classic Filipino dessert made with shaved ice and a variety of toppings. It was the perfect way to end our meal, and the presentation was absolutely stunning.

Overall, The Resto Pinoy exceeded all of my expectations and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for authentic Filipino cuisine in Abu Dhabi. The food, service, and ambiance were all top-notch and I will definitely be returning in the future. I was extremely impressed with the food at The Resto Pinoy.

The food offered a wide variety of dishes and everything was cooked perfectly. The desserts were also a highlight, and I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for delicious Filipino food in Abu Dhabi.
