Since the onset of websites and social media, rarely do we encounter a hole-in-a-wall joint that literally under the radar like Arab Asian Resto Cafe.
You see it does not have a good visibility as its signage is only a small tarpaulin that is usually blocked by parking cars.
Good thing it has a good landmark which is the Masjid Al-Dahab or the Golden Mosque in Quiapo, Manila.
Although this Arab Asian Resto Cafe is marked in google maps, it has no reviews in Zomato or Tripadvisor and the like so it has no online presence. But, we've sharing about it now because we believe it should have. This humble place serves very affordable and delicious dishes and drinks.
We discovered this through Meaningful Travel's Muslim Immersion Tour and we were told then that in contrast to what we hear about them from the media, Muslim's are actually peaceful and simple. In fact, some of them just live within the Golden Mosque compound. The owner of this establishment is one who also stays there.
