earth kitchen

i love the feel and the message the restaurant is trying to convey. serving their unique dishes while helping out local farmers and indigenous communities in the philippines.

i recommend trying the mushroom ravioli for those who love the combination of cheese and mushroom. what's noteworthy as well are their soft tacos (try the beef bulgogi or the fish and roasted sesame). they serve three pieces with the sauce on the side and it can be quite filling.

lastly, i'm a big fan of squid ink dishes and i particularly adore the squid ink and aligue pasta. the texture of both the noodles and the scallops goes well, both with the feel of chewy and yet soft. my go to dish whenever i eat here. :)

a visit at earth kitchen rarely disappoints. you know you're in for a filling, satisying meal sans the massive guilt (it burns a hole in the wallet, though). must-haves are their freshly made pastas (the crab and uni pasta is a delight for palates seeking clean yet distinct flavors).

tl;dr - plenty of parking space, spacious interiors, good food, and good service made for a nice experience.

the mushroom soup was good and fresh, and was plenty enough to be split into two. we ordered the pasta negra with aligue before and did so again this time. it was good, but for some reason, it tasted better before than it did now. it lacked something, to be sure. ask for a lemon (or dayap) wedge and squeeze the juice onto it to add an additional dimension to the taste. scallop toppings were plentiful but the aligue was not.

the dish can serve one hungry person or two not-so-hungry people. price is a bit steep. service was fast and efficient.

this restaurant is my other favorite aside from the wholesome table as they also serve organic food, their food is superb and i can't choose one because i love them all. you have to try their mango shake it is to die for!!

amazing food and ambiance. the location at white plains is a bit obscure, so you have to really keep an eye out in order to spot it. the staff are very accommodating and friendly. i’ve been here twice, and wouldn’t mind going again and again.

i was going to cover an event for the people of marawi at earth kitchen, but i felt that i needed to try out the good stuff on their menu before it started.

while waiting for the food that i ordered, i made a quick tour of the room to check out the other products that they have to offer. true to their name, they focused on featuring artisinal and organic goods that were crafted in various parts of the country. these included handcrafted soaps, fruit purees and flavored chocolate bars.

also visible on their walls are colorful artwork that would easily catch your attention. i was then informed that these are creations of marginalized children, who try to earn via this craft. the proceeds of the sales are being handled by the crib foundation via their new beginnings program.

as soon as i finished, dishes was quick and already waiting for me at the table. ragu ala bolognese came first and their take on the famous pasta dish was just as good as how it looked. the ground beef blended well with light tomato sauce and herbs, on al dente pasta. served alongside this was wet mushroom soft tacos. its unique twist of hoisin sauce made the pickled mushrooms’ taste stand out.

freshly made shrimp spring rolls followed. the wonderful presentation, along with the generous serving of shrimps on every roll, makes it a nice choice for vegetable lovers. its sauce, however, could use some work as it was too sour.

for our main dish, me and a friend shared their rendition of beef kebab with organic ifugao rice pilaf. it’s hard not to fall in love with it as the tender meat is also rich in flavor. at php 420 it’s a bit steep though. an extra stick please?

after all that we had, we still turned to even more food, this time some cake with warm beverage. since one flavor could never be enough, i tried both of their homemade cakes, along with a cup of malunggay latte. both cakes were notable given the distinct taste of ube and tablea, respectively. the malunggay latte was fine, better though with low fat milk instead of full cream.

overall, i could say that earth kitchen is one of the better places to dine in the katipunan area. if you’re into organic and artisinal products, and looking for a variety of cuisines in one roof, this could be the place for you.

earth kitchen is a good find! they are an advocate of healthy eating so they serve organic dishes that are still delicious. a must try would be their watermelon and rocket salad, chicken kebab and braised bacon.

the interiors are mostly wood with plants here and there to have that earthy kind of atmosphere.

we had an amazing time at earth kitchen. i was hesitant to visit this restaurant at first because i thought they only served greens. but hey i was wrong! we were happy that we gave it a try! everything that we got was good. loved the mushroom soup, kale salad, kebab, shrimp spring rolls and mushroom ravioli! i wonder if they still serve kale salad though? parang it's not in the menu anymore and they would always say they don't have supply whenever we would try and call to inquire?

still and always will be my favorite go-to place for beef kebabs! 😍❤️ perfectly tender meat over organic ifugao rice pillaf and grilled vegetables with tzatziki (yogurt dip!!!) and cheese sauce. it's so nice i could never resist a refill! aaaah! 😍❤️ ••••••••••••••••••••••••

a friend suggested the place. they serve organic food and the place is serene with gardens around the place. the pouring of rain that night added to its home-y feel. they also have organic products for sale.

i recommend the fresh mushroom soup, watermelon & rocket salad, especially the beef and citrus salad. maybe less cilantro in the beef salad next time.

food was delicious and the ambiance was great. the smell of the place sticks to your hair and clothing though. the organic products sold there is quite pricey as well, but that's okay given the natural aspect of the products.

this place serves i think serves organic food. i am actually not a fan of vegetables as general but this place made me love to eat vegetables. that pasta with pumpkin is a must try. i really love their goat cheese ice cream and tablea.

finally found the time to try out earth kitchen and we we were not disappointed! for starters we had the fish mango rolls which was crunchy, delicious, and a bit tangy-sweet with its sauce. the risotto balls were okay, but i also liked the grilled salad. the mushroom ravioli is really good but wish it had more ravioli pieces for the price. for dessert, we tried out the tablea ice cream which they split for two and it was a nice, cool, creamy concoction to wrap up our dinner.

great, healthy, original food i'll keep coming back to until i get old.. this is how good (taste- and health- wise) their food is! before we were always just ordering their beef kabab, which is incomparably tender and tasty, but then we decided to try out their other main dish and it was surprisingly really good too! i said surprising because the menu is just all text and no pictures and it's super boring compared to their fabulous food. their seaweed salad has unique types of seaweed that i've never tasted elsewhere. the chicken with banana blossom, nuts and crispy wafer is also amazing. soup is so yummy with a texture contrast of shredded pumpkin. try also their unique tacos (not in the pics sorry)

lovely place. the ambiance is beautiful and the place is actually big. the food is delicious and at a reasonable price. great date place. the servers are very accommodating and very attentive.
