Donia

We had an excellent lunch here today,
every course we ate packed a punch of delicious flavour. The dumplings were fantastic that sauce is to to die for, the scallops were great loved the chicken stock and the mushroom croquette was flavoursome. For the main we shared the lamb pie and the pomme Anna which looked beautiful. It was my first time having Filipino food - what a great introduction.

Had a fantastic meal at Donia last night. What a fantastic representation of Filipino food.
My friend had suggested it and mentioned it was in the Michelin Guide and it definitely exceeded my high expectations.

We had the adobo mushroom croquettes, the sea bream kinilaw, the chicken inasal and the aubergine and tomato ensalada on a pomme anna.
Everything was insanely delicious. Well balanced, with interesting combinations of flavours that kept your intrigue and attention. I honestly couldn't pick a favourite between the kinilaw, the chicken or the ensalada. And even then the croquettes were great, just didn't wow like those three did which had all something new and different to offer.

Very much would love to go back and try other dishes on the menu. Well worth a visit!

Simple birthday celebration of my son Vinze at Donia Restaurant in London. It was a great experience with them. Foods are phenomenal. Top notch. Well presented and so delicious. Still twist of Filipino Causine. The staff are very accommodating and they serve us so well. At the end we had free ice  ube ice cream for the celebrant. Definitely we will be back again.

Excellent excellent excellent. Every dish slaps with flavours and I basically drank every sauce with rice. Not even sure how you cook pork that tender with skin that crispy. Chicken is juicy and beautifully charred. Hot plates and clean plating. Great service and interior.

And the price is amazingly reasonable.

Definitely coming back.

Came here last week to celebrate me and my boyfriend’s 4th anniversary and we had the most welcoming, and amazing dinner experience here.

We ordered the pandesal and pork and prawn dumplings for starters and lechon and caldereta pie for mains, which I all recommend. Every dish had such a unique flavour profile and the sauces here, are done really well. I loved the liver peppercorn sauce that came with the lechon - such a nice twist on Mang Tomas. Even the jasmine rice had a hint of garlic, replicating the classic garlic rice in the Philippines. Honestly, I could go on and on about how each dish surprised us and had a twist we didn’t expect.

Besides the food, the service was 10/10. Everyone was so lovely and really made this anniversary such a special day for the both of us, from the rose tea we were able to try (and loved) to the ube ice cream. It really made our experience here such a great one, I can’t wait to come back to bring family and friends. And will definitely be back to try the scallops and chicken inasal recommended by Ana, who was the sweetest ever and really looked after us too.

I definitely recommend Donia for any special occasion, or to just try a fun twist on classic Filipino dishes.

Thank you for such a lovely night, can’t wait to come back soon!
