The Indian food served by chef Deepak Kaul is simply soulful, turning each dish into its own little balanced ecosystem: Rich and finely honed spiced blends serve as the foundation for bowls of rogan josh, Goan pork vindaloo, and Chettinad chicken, balanced with refreshing raita and salty-briny mango pickle seeping into a bed of turmeric-yellow basmati rice.

This year, after a hiatus, Magna reopened with a new menu format that holds space for both the supremely casual and the celebratory, whether it’s a skewer of charcoal-grilled rib-eye, a take on duck dinuguan that turns the blood-laden stew into a deep sauce, or a kare kare that swaps the peanut sauce for a butter made with roasted pumpkin seeds. Magna is open for onsite dining.

Urdaneta is a Chef driven regional Spanish tapas restaurant. The casual environment brings back the old world fun of tapas and libations, encompassing what the food is meant to be. In essence, Urdaneta combines big and bold Spanish flavors with a modern interpretation. Our house craft cocktails, Spanish wines and sherries, and Basque sidra play the perfect counterpart, in our vibrant tapas culture. The open kitchen and bar provide a sense of intimate and communal dining.
