Food was great although I wish they had more Alfredo sauce dishes and less pork in all the others. Carbonara was way too pork flavoured for my boyfriend and that is not something he would normally complain about. Pizza was really good. One major complaint for me was the very uncomfortable chairs and tables are really small for larger parties. We were 4 and it seated 4 but was really tight. Will defiantly go again.

About the restaurant

Cathy Ortega & Gerald Aquintey didn't know what to expect after finally opening up a Filipino small grocery & takeout joint together. The shop was doing great but they wanted to do more. They wanted to give Toronto a much more authentic Filipino taste and experience without the price of a flight to the Philippines. Kamayan / Boodle Fight (the formality of eating with your hands) was the obvious solution.

I really love the Kamayan dish at this restaurant. However, the service could use improvement. I brought my mother and daughter there to experience it, and even though it wasn’t busy, they barely came to provide service or even greet us. Also, they didn’t give us any napkins at our table at all. When I asked for some, they gave exactly one. That was weird… Especially because we’re eating with our hands. The reason I’m giving this a higher rating is mostly for the food.

About the restaurant

The husband and wife team of Chef Rony Goraichy and Diana Sideris work hard using fresh, quality ingredients and their broad cultural knowledge to create dishes that are unique and exciting.

Some of Tabula's dishes, like the Ma'anek which is an incredibly savory Lebanese spicy beef sausage rolled with Middle Eastern spices and pine nuts

Great experience, as usual! We ordered the guac, carne asada tacos, chicken tinga tacos, and churros. Everything was delicious. The carne asada tacos were a little spicy, but honestly we don’t handle spice too well. So if you do, you will love them! But the flavours were delicious regardless. We will of course be back.
