Jack's Joint

Jack’s Joint has a very hip ambiance, which is somewhat unexpected considering its location. Maybe if I did not tell that this is in Jose Abad Santos Avenue, most of you would think this is in Maginhawa or BGC. The interiors are nice, though I guess a little rearranging and organizing might make it even betterWe each decided to order one different food item so that all of us can get a taste of each. I ordered the Shawarma Rice; my sister ordered the Chicken Steak; my aunt ordered the Chicken Pirzola; and mom ordered the Chicken Mix and the Special Kebab, which consists of beef and chicken kebabs. For drinks, mom and auntie had softdrinks while my sis and I had the yoghurt and the strawberry shake.Of the food items, the one I loved the most is the beef kebab. It tasted the most Mediterranean to me. It was really savory, but not salty. There is a difference between the two if you must know. The poultry dishes were grilled well, though I have to say they pretty much tasted the same. The Pirzola though had a bit of a savory punch to it. The shawarma slices sadly, were a bit underwhelming.We also had three sauces: garlic mayo, ketchup, and chilli. The ketchup gave life to the poultry dishes. It was pretty much a good condiment to pair them to. The garlic mayo lacked that garlicky flavour. It seemed a bit subdued, but I still enjoyed it. My mom said that the chilli sauce really blew her nose off, so I guess that must be a compliment LOL.When I got the bill, I almost fell off my seat: PHP 885. But after looking at the amount of food we ate, well, I guess it’s worth it. We didn’t feel that stuffed to be honest, but it was a pleasant eating experience for everyone. When three tough food critics say it’s decent, they mean it LOL. A very hip restaurant with a lot of potential. I am very sure it will go very far! Good luck on your QC Branch! I'd love to visit!Price: 3.3Ambiance: 4.2Presentation of Food: 3Flavor of Food: 3.5Service: 3.8OVERALL RATING: 3.6

Available parking space and an establishment that provides great ambiance. Not to mention their friendly servers and scrumptious food!I really love their four cheese pizza, lamb kebab and yogurt shake. A must try restaurant in Tondo area, where a limited number of quality restaurants is available to dine in. If you love Mediterranean food then this is the perfect place for you!Thank you for this one of a kind experience!

Serving Turkish food at affordable prices, or shall I say fair price. Located in the busiest part of Manila — 20 minute walk to Lucky China Town and 168 Mall. Best sellers are the Shawarma Pizza, Kebabs (Lamb & Beef), and Chicken Pirzola — Carnivore alright, and they are serving beer; and of course, guess they got it right ingredient and mix for the Yogurt Shake.If you are living in Manila, then you must visit this place alright.
