We had been in Serendra last week. We were to treat a balikbayan friend at Mamou. We were already seated when the waiter approached us and told us that they have to go out somewhere. They should have not allowed us in and informed us at the door! Some people were still eating that time.

We just tried Conty’s across! Last time we tried Abe Hopefully next time, it would already be Mamou! Thanks for the great reviews.

[...] last sunday, we finally got around to visiting mamou at serendra. i’ve been quietly manipulating jude to try this restaurant after i read marketman’s review of it. jude loves steak but hates pretentiousness, and i thought mamou, which styles itself more as a “home kitchen,” not a fine dining restaurant, might be THE place for sunday brunch. plus, it’s in a pet-friendly mall, which is important because sasha wants to come with.

[...] There were different food preparations they have prepared for us. I must say these were good too. In fact, Market Manila named it best restaurant meal in Manila. [...]

Hello everyone!
I have tried dining at Mamou twice and I intend to go back as often as I want–except that busy skeds and distance get in the way.
So far, I love everything I tried. I don’t recall all the items I tried but I must agree with everyone else that Roast Pork and Chicken is a stand-out. Choose the red mountain rice! It gives the dish a distinct taste, which I love. Pork and chicken is roasted to perfection! And the black beans and sugar-glazed saba, together with the red rice, gives it a fresh Cuban taste. This tastes like chili con but hardly: it’s much much better!!!
Also, try the linguine alle vongole. Vongole pasta is one of my faves and I prepare this myself at home. To an extent, it irritates me (haha…) that Mamou’s version is simply better for reasons I don’t know. I just have to keep going back and ordering the dish til I uncover the recipe hahaha…
Anyways, service can still be improved. During my first time, I talked to a waiter who didn’t know quite well all he disches on the menu. I would normally ask: What’s your best-seller appetizer? why? best-seller pasta? why? what makes it distinct? if the waiter is clueless, I would ask: which one do you like best (assuming he has tried everything but this is a bit risky)? what i did was that asked for Mamou to give me advice on the menu instead. never the less, the food compensated well for the minor service issues.

I’ve heard great things about mamou’s food from friends and food blogs alike, so when my fiance and I decided to eat there last night, I had my expectations set real high. I wasn’t disappointed! I’m not really a fan of meat because I prefer seafood, but I must say and agree with everyone who has been raving about their steak that each bite will really melt in your mouth. Their bread was also excellent, soft and chewy, the way I like it.

I didn’t get too excited with their beer battered chicken though. I should’ve ordered the Roast pork and chicken instead.
