You can tell a Filipino restaurant is good if it's packed with filipino customers
Everything about this place was nostalgic, it was almost as if you had just popped over to your cousins house for lunch
We got 2 starters, 2 Mains and 2 drinks this cost us little over £58 service incl. The portions were good, just the right amount to avoid that bloated feeling.
Everything was delicious, presented well and service was amazing!
If you're a filipino missing home, someone who wants to try something new or anything in between I can't reccomend this place highly enough.
We will definitely be back, thank you!
An amazing find for authentic Filipino food in London! Honestly can not find a fault in any of the dishes, we shared between 4 people and servings were a good size. Definitely order extra rice to to go with it. Service was quick and friendly too. We will be going back many times.
Visited this lovely place as we were craving for some Filipino foods. All staff are very friendly and ambience is very cosy. Definitely highly recommendable for family and friends.
Very cute and homey restaurant. We had calamari, chicken adobo (highly recommend) and halo halo (dessert). The staff is very friendly too!
Good quality Filipino home cooking. Would recommend to first-timers to Filipino food and homesick Pinoys alike.
I've been here a few times now, and went again over the weekend. We ordered a pork knuckle dish (one of the specials) and a beef stew, all of which were delicious.
This type of place is the reason why I often prefer to dine and support family-run restaurants (rather than chain's with no personality), where the food is cooked with pride with that home-cooked feeling with genuinely friendly service, all of which contributes to a really nice vibe to the place and a lovely experience overall.
Attended a private event and ate a three course vegan menu as an alternative to the meat options. Food was well presented and tasted good. Service was special as the restaurant is intimate. Chef was particularly friendly and went of his way to make us feel about about his menu. I would say that as it was a private event, the vegan option shouldn’t cost the same as the meat option, but that may be different when ordering a La Carte. If you haven’t tried Filipino food, you can definitely start here.
Would give more than 5 stars if possible. Booked the window seat by the entrance for my partner and I's anniversary. Quick response. When we arrived, we were promptly and warmly led to our table. Such excellent food, wonderful ambiance, and world class service. Salamat po.
This is my favourite restaurants in London by a mile. Been multiple times and the food is just outstanding. Perfectly cooked chicken, crispy skin and balanced adobo sauce. The Kare Kare is amazing: great peanut flavour and smoky hints from the aubergine. Coconut rice is really flavourful and complemented everything. Amazing service as well and fairly priced. Absolutely recommend the trip here, you won’t be disappointed.
Great little Filipino restaurant in Finchley Road. Been going here a few times and the food never disappoints. Close to authentic home-cooked Filipino food you can get, and the staff are super friendly and accommodating. Highly recommend!

Recommended by a friend who visited the restaurant recently. We decided to try it for Sunday dinner. Arriving just after 6pm with no reservation, the restaurant was busy but the waitress was able to accommodate us. First impressions of Mama Kubos was very homely and very friendly atmosphere.
We ordered for starters - pork susig and Kubo calamari which is predressed in their own sweet and chilli sauce which was definitely recommended. For the main course, we had one of the specials of the day - the Kubo beef brisket which was slow cooked for 2 hours and served with pumpkin and broccoli. Would definitely recommend this as it was really tender and juicy. We also had the Pancit chicken which was okay. Portions were really big so luckily we were able to take some away.
For dessert we had the halo halo which was okay but quite expensive. Although again the portion was big so you can share one between 2 people.
Overall, we enjoyed our dinner and would be coming back to try the other specials and desserts. So we would recommend this restaurant to try some authentic Filipino food!!
Had a really nice dinner here a few months ago.
The food is very good and the service is interpersonal. Would recommend.
This place is such a gem! I went with my friend and we enjoyed every second of our meal. Food was amazing, I highly recommend the spring rolls and the prawns with coconut. The fried squid was so tasty as well, and such a consistent portion. I won’t even mention the plantain and jackfruit dessert which was out of this world, we had like three portions of that. The food tasted so fresh and the service was on point. The atmosphere was very cozy, I felt like I was home. Thanks you guys! I’ll be back very soon!
As a Filipino, I can safely say BEST Filipino food in North London, possibly all of London (still eating my way through them...). The chilled vibes, the food, the desserts - everything was just spot on. The beef kare kare was my favorite dish followed by the chicken adobe. The coconut rice was a great match with all the sauces too
Also, it's really fairly priced. And I love how they get their desserts and ice cream from a fellow Filipina based out of Walthamstow, helping support other small businesses 🙏
Definitely go here if you're thinking about it
Went here and was so great! Really solid home style Filipino food would highly recommend trying!
Would get the pork adobo for sure
Finally returned to this Pinoy gem of a restaurant after a couple of years. Menu is smaller though and only 4 days of operation. Palabok, slow cooked beef and Biko are still fantastic!! Giving it 4 stars only because the squid adobo and morning glory were too salty and garlic rice though delicious was too oily. I hope these could be easily rectified.
Great food, great service and cute interior. I loved trying the unique dishes that were recommended by our server. I had never had Filipino food before but I will definitely be back! Only feedback would be a couple more vegan options wouldn’t go amiss !
What a fantastic meal. I’d recommend looking to see what the specials are as you’ll get something truly amazing and very different from most places you’ll visit. The flavours are intense and the portions are generous. Staff are friendly and we weren’t rushed at all. It was a lovely Friday night meal where we were able to sit and enjoy intense flavours that definitely leave me thinking about new flavour combinations.
