Generous portions and flavors so delicious and authentic, you'd swear it was your own grandmother in the kitchen making your meal.
Papa Urb’s Grill
Papa Urb’s boasts an impressive array of Filipino food with a twist. Looking for something small? The sisig fries have already gained an enthusiastic fan club (try them and you’ll see why). Something with rice? Adobo (braised chicken with a garlic-soy marinade) or tocino (caramelized tender pork shoulder cutlets) or even papa’s breakfast (pork sausage with fried egg) are just some of your choices. And a meal isn’t complete without something sweet; try the halo-halo, a delicious mixture of shaved ice, sweet beans, assorted jelly, and evaporated milk, all topped with ube and mango ice cream. Once you try Papa Urb’s, you’ll be back for more.
