OK before I start I would like to state in my 100+ of reviews I have never awarded 5 out of 5, but this is the closest by far. It is way better than a 4 but just short of the 5.
It does not matter how good the food might be if the remaining of the experience does not match it. After 20 years of working and managing retail which includes some of the best F&B offerings in the world.
Finding the location is relatively easy and I am certain that if in a higher populated area it would be even more popular. The Car Park is shared with the Farm resort and within close proximity.
Whilst the washrooms were well presented, my recommendations for future would be
1. Seperate the Male and Female washrooms.
2. Have visible a washroom inspection / cleaning record.
3. One of the taps looked tired and should be replaced.
The higher level windows did not look clean and as such intimated lack of attention to detail.
The menu is limited, which actually is very good as it gives a focus on the best dishes on offer and is easier for quality control - which was evident in the presentation and the sharing of what each meal consisted of.
The bread which is one of the specialism is good, but I am afraid that I have tasted better in another location. The Salad was well presented and had a good taste - in particular the beef flavour which mixed with the other Salad items to give a good taste.
The Soup I found was not as tasty as I expected, but was still of a good standard.
My main course was Carabeef Uragon in a Spicy Coconut Cream - which without doubt was a standout meal. The meat was fork tender and moist and the sauce was outstanding. With this came grilled vegetables - well prepared, presented and went well.
The sweet I chose was Bibingka Puti which was very light and sweet tasting.
The fact that every meal presented is from items on the farm makes it special.
WOULD I RECOMMEND? YES without doubt especially if you live locally - if from further afield stay overnight at the Farm.
WILL I RETURN? YES if it is a special occasion due to travel time.
An exceptional dining experience from start to finish! The food was absolutely delicious 😋every dish was flavorful, freshly prepared, and beautifully presented.
The service was superb 🥰🫰the staff were warm, attentive, and made us feel genuinely welcome throughout our visit.
The cozy ambiance made the experience even more enjoyable. It's the perfect place to relax, share a great meal with family or friends, and create wonderful memories.
Highly recommended! We'll definitely be coming back!
Thank you and Godbless Anihan! 🙏🏻
They have very healthy food options, and all taste good and delightful. 🥹😇🪽It is really more than you expected.
We ordered salad and duck with mashed potatoes under it. I can’t remember what it’s called, but it tastes unique, something I can’t compare to any dish. something new to my palate 😋. I also love the salad, especially the soup. (They also served us free complementary food 🥹)
The service is wonderful! The server explains every dish, how it is made, and the ingredients used in it. The ambience is distinctly Filipino because of the ornaments and display.
We will definitely come back here with my parents soon and try to book here for our family outing because the place is very serene.
We enjoyed both lunch and dinner at Anihan, and the dining experience was truly memorable. The food is absolutely amazing; every dish offers a delightful fusion of distinct flavors that come together perfectly, creating a unique taste sensation with every bite.
Beyond the incredible food, what truly sets Anihan apart and made us love the restaurant even more is its deep commitment to sustainability. They produced most of the their ingredients, eco-friendly practices (wooden cutting boards, using loofah as their dishwashing sponge) and minimizing food waste, ensuring that every meal is not only delicious but also kind to the environment. We were also moved to learn that they actively support the Rise Against Hunger Foundation, contributing to their mission of ending hunger and empowering communities in need. Dining here feels meaningful—it’s not just about satisfying your appetite, but also being part of a positive cause that makes a real difference.
Lastly, kudos to Ahwin, Lea and Rossel for their warm and heartfelt service. We will definitely go back to this place.
