What People Feel
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"Food was excellent! As a middle eastern I didn’t have high hopes for the shish tawook and kofta that we ordered but the flavour was all there. The meats were also tender and juicy. We also got a cheese pizza which was good. The menu is big and has a lot of options. Central location as well. They only accept cash"
"▶@AGOOD-SOLDIEROFCHRIST " A decent restaurant , right in the middle of town, offering pizza , local food and Mediterranean flavours " Grand risings my beautiful brothers and sisters in Christ , how are we all doing on this fine beautiful sunny day in pure paradise ? So today brings us cent rale. Right slap bang in the heart beat of town. Its taking me nearly 3 months to do a review on this place , but I finally got round to doing it. It's quite a large venue , with both a downstairs and upstairs. It can probably hold around 40/50 diners downstairs and a similar amount upstairs. It's certainly not the best decor or furniture I've ever seen , but none the less not the worst either. They have a pool table , which is cool and also a couple of cash points in the venue , which is defo handy. The music was a mixed bag , mainly poppy flavours , so nothing horrendous , or amazing either. So Probably won't be using the Shazam app here anytime soon tho. The bar front wasn't huge and the drinks/food menus were ok , nothing too fancy , just something very simple. I opted for a beef kofta kebab , that came with three skewers , chips , salad , pitta bread, humus and Tzatziki. The skewers were great , the dips were also very decent as well , salad was ok but I am a bit gutted with the tiny pitta bread. I think the owner should deffo invest in something that isn't so tiny. The service was good , nothing too spectacular, but it doesn't need to be for this type of venue. So , If your looking to wine and dine or propose to your other half at this restaurant, I wouldn't advise this place as it's way too noisy and just not the proposing type of place. However , if you fancy a decent dish , play a few games of pool , along with a couple of beers that's at a reasonable price , then this is the place for you. Time for a swim... God bless"

"Great middle eastern cuisine situated in the middle of busy town. We ordered the Centralè Platter and was excellent! The platter was plenty for 5 people. The meats were well-seasoned and cooked perfectly. The carbs: rice, bread, fries was enough for everyone to pair with the meats. Many different sauces to choose from to your liking. - Enhances the flavor of your kebab! The veggies were nice addition for added texture to your meal. Overall, we were completely satisfied with the meal. Service was excellent and attentive."

I would definitely come back and recommend this place to my friends."
"This restaurant is located right in the heart of El Nido and stays open until late night, which is very convenient for tourists. We dined here several times and had a great experience every time. The staffs are friendly and the atmosphere is lively, with tourists playing snooker and watching sports, creating a really nice vibe. The menu offers a wide variety of cuisines—we tried burgers, pizza, rice dishes, and chicken items on multiple visits, and everything was consistently good. Definitely recommended."
"They have a good selection of Mediterranean and Filipino food on their menu For Mediterranean, I’ve had their Meat Platter and Double Kofta Burger The meat platter was mindblowingly fun to eat. If you like grilled meats, definitely try it And the Double Kofta Burger, wow. There are two burgers that I really like here in El Nido and this is one of them For Filipino dishes, I enjoyed their Pork Adobo, Chicken Sisig, and Cornsilog. Got to meet the chef too who is a great dude I 100% will recommend. Also, all day breakfast is a big plus"
