Stepping into Kusina Natin To in Satwa feels like stepping right back into the Philippines. From the colorful wall art of iconic landmarks like the Mayon Volcano and Chocolate Hills to the hand-painted Tagalog sayings that remind you of your lola’s wise words, everything about the space speaks of home. It’s not just a restaurant—it’s a familiar corner of the Philippines tucked into Dubai.
But what truly makes the experience memorable is the food. Their ala carte menu reads like a greatest hits collection of Filipino comfort food.
The Kare-Kare is thick, nutty, and deeply flavorful, served with tender beef and vegetables, with bagoong on the side for that perfect salty contrast. Their Fried Chicken is golden and crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside—just like how it’s done back home. The Beef Steak, or bistek, is marinated to perfection and served with caramelized onions, hitting that sweet-sour-savory trifecta Filipinos crave.
No Filipino table is complete without Bulalo, and theirs is nothing short of soul-soothing—hot, hearty, and loaded with marrow and vegetables. For something to share, the Pancit offers stir-fried noodles tossed in a flavorful blend of meats and vegetables, perfect for marking any celebration, big or small. And don’t miss the Lumpiang Sariwa—fresh, soft rolls filled with sautéed vegetables and topped with a thick, garlicky sauce that tastes just like home.
At Kusina Natin To, you’re not just eating Filipino food—you’re living it. The smells, the sounds, the flavors, and the stories painted on the walls make you forget, even just for a moment, that you’re miles away from home. For OFWs and Filipino families in Dubai, this isn’t just a restaurant—it’s a little slice of the homeland served on a plate.
