Where I’m from, in San Diego, California, you usually go for some Mexican food when you need to feed an insatiable hunger. It’s also the best cure for hangovers and for late night after-party tummy growls. But here in Manila Philippines, you never go wrong with some Persian food!
Ababu Persian Kitchen is one of those hole-in-the-wall type places that starts to feel like home. I had my good friends Nico from 27+20 design boutique (https://2720.tv) and Katwo, vocalist from the band “Duster.”
Anywayz, here’s the thing, we totally wronged you guys by not showing more footage of the food once we got it. Sorry… we were all starving and it smelled soooo good while they were making it and then it came and we just stopped filming and started eating… damnit, Harold!
As I was saying, we wronged you by not showing you how MUCH food they served us on one big plate! Best of all was that all that was just about 100 Pesos! So we got this plate full of buttered rice, tomatoes, onions, veggies, and loads of meat, for about P100. OMG!!!
Have I said OMG yet? Coz, like, OMG!
So yeah, Ababu Persian Kitchen in Quezon City (QC) is definitely one for the hungry, broke and fabulous. Other than the awesome and tasty main courses, do also try out their Crispy Mocha Ice Cream! I tell you… that was one unsuspectingly good dessert. We were all just sort of looking around the table wondering why it was sooo good. It felt so wrong but it tasted so good. Definitely recommend it, Crispy Mocha Ice Cream, GET IT! I swear, those four words will change your life…. Crispy-Mocha-Ice-Cream.
Mmmmmmm…. crispy mocha ice cream…
Oh… where was I…. oh yes. Next time, When In Manila, be sure to have some very affordable kebabs and shawarmas at Ababu Persian Kitchen. Oh and did I mention the Crispy Mocha Ice Cream?

hi
I tried Ababu, but sorry to say, it’s the worst kebab & shawarma i’ve ever tasted. I tried it to know what’s the blah all abt, and ended up disappointed with their food and service. Kebab was too salty,lacks herbs, maybe coz they serve it with rice, and mrt’s shawarma’s better but both doesnt have hummous.
lived in UAE for a while and tasted authentic persian kebab and shawarma from resto called “Pars”, i almost fainted coz it’s so delicious… Sooooo different from ababu’s taste… So if anyone of you is in dxb or will be there, do look for “Pars” persian resto to know what Persian food is all abt…
Lol, I don’t think it’s fair to compare Ababu to authentic Persian Kebabs in the UAE. Ababu is really just a very affordable hole in the wall that lots of college kids hang out at and enjoy because it is indeed very affordable to eat there. Don’t expect gourmet food here, just cheap food that’s way better than the price you paid for it.
