Kawali Filipino Cuisine

We make there about once a year. Always have a decent meal topped off with Halo Halo for dessert.

DO NOT SLEEP ON THIS PLACE!! The restaurant is small and occupies a corner spot at the end of a shopping center. It can be easy to miss, but it's well worth a visit! Inside was comfy, clean, and I was greeted right away. Jo gave me some fantastic suggestions and answered all my questions about ingredients and spice levels, etc. I went in to try the lumpia and was taking my order to go. I opted for the beef lumpia, but there is a vegetarian variety, too. Jo recommended the Spicy Beef and the Teriyaki Chicken both came with rice. I also got an order of pancit (a rice noodle/veggie/chicken dish). I took all of these items home, a good 15 minute drive. I always worry about this process - will the food be soggy? Will the containers spill, will I wish I had eaten there for the full experience? I should not have worried at all. It was packed wonderfully, the lumpia were crispy and warm when I got home, the were no spills. I made plates when I got home and we finally got to taste everything. All of the food was nothing short of wonderful!! High quality ingredients seasoned well, plenty of sauce, rice and noodles cooked to perfection, crispy light lumpia, and hefty portion sizes too. The spicy beef, though. Oh my stars!!!! If I could give 11 stars, I would still wish I could give 12! It was perfect. Spice level that anyone can appreciate, big tender slices of beef, a sauce that was robust and clung to the rice making every bite amazing. ♡ I spent about $40 for 8 Lumpia, entree sized Chicken Pancit as well as Spicy Beef, and Teriyaki Chicken which came with a double portion of rice. I could easily have fed my family of four; two of which are growing teen boys. It was a bargain by almost any standards! I wish I could say I had been visiting this place regularly for years. I will be going back often from here forward. I am so excited to try more of the dishes they offer, and get one of their Halo Halo iced dessert drinks. Wow! Be sure to check their Facebook for hours of operation. They will be closed for a break this spring, but their social media is great with reporting hours, daily menu items, and any closings for holidays, etc.

Good food and good service.

I just love the ladies at Kawali. They make everyone feel like family.

Small restaurant. Pretty good food! Ordering food is a little confusing because it's family size portions made for sharing. I love Filipino food and the locals there seem to enjoy it as well.

Lola is so nice the food is amazing I couldn’t stop saying “mmm” after every bite of the adobo. That apartment next door is lucky. Id go here every day if I could but unfortunately I live in Indiana. But I Will definitely go here again.

The food was delicious. And the portions are well worth it.

Very homey. Try that sinigang!

Kawali never disappoints.
