    We stumbled upon this place completely by accident, and we are SO pleased that we did. Deliciously fresh food bursting with unique flavours. Could have savoured the exquisite dishes m all night, except the portion size was just perfect. Left us feeling completely satisfied but with just enough room for dessert. Will definitely be back every time we visit Hastings. No photo because we were too busy eating to take a picture. 🤣

    The staff are really friendly,polite and welcoming with a smile. The interior is interesting with ground floor bathroom quite mysterious with a lot of things to look at along the way to the toilets. The English breakfast and iced coffee was amazing, good value for money. Came back the next morning and ordered a chicken and a cheese and salami panini which same with side salad and hummus. Good location as it's a few minutes walk away from the Hastings beach. Had a nice time.

    Great little place in a convenient location with great service! Although plant-based, I think the food would appeal to omnivores as well. I have some odd food sensitivities and the staff was incredibly accommodating. I had the inihaw, which was just was delicious as it looks! Some of the reviews on here seem to be for a different restaurant, so please just pay attention to the newer ones if you are considering eating here.

    Amazing food food was cooked to perfection. Mama Geny's and family were so welcoming. I would definitely travel from Eastbourne just to go back there. Thank you

    Such a lovely small family run restaurant. Very friendly service and amazing food. It makes me wish there was a Filipino restaurant near my home. I'm a noodle fan so I went straight for the Sotanghon Gusado. It was unique (new to my palette) and fantastic. I also enjoyed the dessert, though I can't remember the name of the dish.

    Fantastic food and amazingly kind chef happy to adjust food to your liking. Wonderful service would visit again - highly recommend the light bites (all of them!) and Pancit Bihon was adapted to not be as spicy and was devine and devoured. Great for all palates and fairly priced.

    Plant based, Traditional Filipino food. Mama Geny is an amazing cook, and makes the best food. The Lumpia is lovely, but the star of the show is either the Mami or the Halo-Halo.

    I went in today for the Filipino fusion roast dinner. It was so good. Well cooked and a nice variety of veg on the plate. If you feel like splashing out a bit for it and are hungry then it is a really lovely Sunday lunch. Its two courses and a mulled wine at the moment (but guessing that will change soon). The dessert was sticky toffee/coconut rice infusion and one of the best things I've ever put in my mouth! So so good. The owners are lovely, warm and welcoming too. We will definitely be back. As others have mentioned, some of the negative reviews on here seem to be for a different place as they don't have those things on the menu so just check out the more recent ones!

    I was out and about and needed to use their toilet, and of course wanted to buy something! They didn’t ask me to, but as soon as I smelled the aroma of their home-cooked food, and felt the warmth of their hospitality, I just couldn’t help it! My oh my, the best spring rolls I’ve ever had. What a gem of a place, a gem of a family. Cant wait to return, will be bringing all my pals. Reasonably priced too.
