As a gringo cook working the line here, I've come to know and love Filipino food. The pork adobo is a personal favorite, but if you're coming with a group, be sure to start with one of the sisigs.

Don't miss their game-changing riff on Chicken and Waffles with ube waffles, anchovy butter, and a coconut caramel syrup supporting crackly and crisp chicken pieces. Read more

The Eggs Imelda is like a sampling platter (imo) - Pandesal, farm fresh packed eggs, fresh taro-root leaves, coconut milk, bagoong, roasted head-on prawns, kalamansi hollandaise, & kamote home fries

I like this place better than Pig and Khao! Good, strong cocktail and yummy food. I'm not an expert in Filipino food but it felt authentic!

When you’re in an adventurous mood, give the traditional sizzling sisig dish a try. (Shh, it’s chopped pig ears, belly and snout with an egg on top, but it’s tasty. We promise.) Read more

We ordered a Pork Adobo & Kare Kare and ate it all, though in hindsight we really should have invited 2 more people to help us... Love the big portions and flavors!! Service is very sweet too.

Try: chicken Laing as appetizer and Duck breast on top of delicious bean sprouts! Their classic cocktails are amazingly refreshing and flavorful!

Chicken and ube waffles plus the macapuno sauce are everything you could ever dream of. Love the logsilog. And lumpiang. And spam fries. Pretty much everything is amazing... Expect to leave stuffed!!!

Come with a group of people for brunch. Order the Eggs Imelda, Flip’d chicken & waffle, the tortang talong & any of their silogs for a delicious & hearty Filipino breakfast.

Order the Pampangan style pork sizzling sisig. It’s served in a cast-iron sizzling skillet w/ red onion, birds' eye chili, farm fresh egg with the baboy of course (pork belly, cheek, ears, snout)

I had the uni palabok noodle dish and it was incredible. Super rich with the shrimp bisque, sea urchin, and roasted garlic. Loved it!
Danny BernardoOctober 15, 2013
the kare kare was a delicious modern take on a Filipino classic. and the fried chicken and waffles was sheer perfection of sweet and savory. the macapuno syrup and the baggoong butter together...sarap
RCFebruary 27, 2014
Dasilog was good and yes it is a little expensive but it is located in the city so it was definitely expected. The decor & the old school music they were playing was definitely a plus in my book! 👌

great Filipino food. Kare kare (oxtail) was on point. sisig was delicious and the pork adobo was awesome. Filipino flash cocktail was soooo good. can't really go wrong here.
Terena P.August 11, 2013
Highly recommend it. The drinks and the food were superb & it has one of the best waiting staff in NY. We ate: lumpiang barquillos, chicken and waffles and bistek with garlic rice. Perfection.

The chicken & ube waffles with macapuno sauce is all you'll ever need! Authentic Filipino in a great space, highly recommend!
CarolineJanuary 21, 2016
Come here for an authentic Filipino meal, even if it seems intimidating. The staff is very helpful and non-judgmental if you're not sure what to get. Everything is delicious!!

"Go for brunch and try the Filipino-style fried chicken with purple yam waffles or one of the Silog options with longganisa pork sausage and amazing garlic rice.” - Cherae Robinson Read more
Gloria ChinOctober 11, 2013
brunch!!! Get the Tocino (7 up pork), Laing (taro-root leaves, coconut milk & guisaido bagoong), Flip'D Chicken and Ube purple yam Waffle, compound anchovy-bagoong butter & caramelized macapuno syrup
Kimmie OhhDecember 9, 2019
Get their kalderetang kambing (goat) & their chicken & waffles (batterless fried chicken, purple yam waffle, caramelized macapuno syrup, anchovy-compound butter)

A delicious, modern take on the food of my motherland. Get the sisig, drink a Red Horse and pretend you're in Manila. That's what I do. Sarap!
Time Out New YorkOctober 5, 2011
Try the crispy, chewy sisig, featuring pork belly and lesser-loved pig parts, punched up with garlic, onion and citrus. It’s one of our #100best dishes and drinks of 2011. Read more

I went for lunch today and it was incredible. We had the oxtails, shrimp, rice-pig-egg dish-- all amazing. Loved the sauces, too. Will have to go back again very soon. And the dessert, service, Etc...
Christine TranSeptember 11, 2016
The pork sissig and ube waffle & chicken and waffles are my go-to, but you can't go wrong here.
Sophie SmithApril 13, 2015
Flip'd chicken & ube waffle was nice but could have done with more syrup as the waffle is really heavy going. Great atmosphere, good music, attentive service - be prepared to tip well!
Tim VetterAugust 30, 2013
Junot Díaz: "... marinated flank steak, ginataang isda (a superb salmon with snap peas and coconut milk, longganisa (sweetest tastiest longga in town), sides of garlic rice, long beans, & eggplant." Read more

Sisig was delicious, my girlfriend had the baby milkfish which was also really good. Large portions and the dipping vinegar is nice and spicy! Bloody marys are spicy too.
Mac De La CruzJune 17, 2014
Chicken and Waffles , Filipino style. Really good crispy skin and very juicy flavorful,tender chicken. Waffles are boom banging !
BillyFebruary 24, 2013
Service is friendly and fast. Try the appetizer for brunch. A must try if you're looking to break the mold of traditional NYC brunch. The absinthe spray drink is also a force to be reckoned with.
William HJune 3, 2013
Come for brunch, get the Silog (7-up braised pork garlic rice what?!) Come for dinner, get the Kare Kare. Hands-down some of the best meals I've had in the city.
Francesca KrihelyJanuary 27, 2013
Come for brunch and get the Chicken and Waffles (it's unlike anything you've ever had!) waffles are made with blue yams and served with coconut sauce.
Joey JAugust 26, 2018
Yummy Filipino cuisine. Try the chicken and waffles, silogs, steak, sea urchin vermicelli noodles, fried egg over rice.

Great place for breakfast the garlic rice and vinegar sauce goes perfect with the eggs and meat
DApril 4, 2015
Chicharron, Pampangan style sizzling sisig, Flip'd chicken + ube waffle & Pata confit. Yummy & crispy.
Lori LuoAugust 10, 2014
Maharlika serves up an array of excellent, modernized Filipino dishes. Find Chicken with Ube Waffles, Lumpiang Barquillos, and Tocilog, all in the same place.
Frank L.December 24, 2012
Awesome staff. Dine at the bar and don't be afraid to ask questions. Sisig and prawns are both excellent. Make sure to order the Pacquiao Punch as well.
Tim PaansJanuary 6, 2013
The Longsilog is awesome and a great mix of savory and sweet. Sit by the bar and you'll get some awesome insight and tips on the food from the bartender.
Allison YuJune 6, 2015
The fried chicken and Ube waffles used to be one of my all time faves but flavor has been lacking as of late. Still a solid choice though
Barton SmithApril 30, 2014
If you love your meats and rice then Maharlika is a great, casual spot. If you're looking for some balanced greens, try elsewhere.

Go here for brunch. For a great filipinized take on American food, get the chicken & waffles or for more traditional, the longsilog. Best longanisa since my grandma passed.
Jackie DavalosJuly 19, 2013
Amazing meal- full of flavor and so delicious. Sisig was awesome. Try the Teo Tita cocktail!

So many things to recommend, but make sure to try the sizzling sisig with garlic rice. Lechon is always a good idea too! Great staff and lovely place.
Jeffrey WhiteJanuary 23, 2016
The sausage breakfast thing is bomb as a dinner. Pacquiau's punch lives up to the name too. Seriously impressed by this place.
Melody KohOctober 21, 2012
Get the Tortang Talong for brunch if you're in the mood for savory eggplant & soft eggs. If you're desperate for meat (and a pig lover), Sisig is your save bet.
Mara LecocqApril 27, 2015
❤️💛💙 Crispy pata, longanisa, tapa... Great brunch! Never tried dinner but can't wait
Melanie W.March 30, 2014
The fried chicken with ube waffle was amazing and the service was great. The hostess was super rude so try to make a reservation.

The chicken and waffles are awesome, but the longsilog is amazing. Protip: use the vinegar, Filipino food is a bit heavier and the vinegar balances the flavor.

Food is on-point, especially the sisig and the pork adobo. Seats are close to each other, so get ready to get cozy!
Jeremy ParedesAugust 8, 2014
The longsilog is perfect. Also the main dishes are definitely big enough to share as long as you get an app or extra rice.
Jen AuOctober 18, 2017
They have an optional $30 chef's tasting menu on Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday nights. It's completely worth it.
