    Really enjoyed my experience at Meals in Minutes! The food is budget-friendly with big servings — definitely worth it. There’s a 1 to 1.5-hour wait, but it’s understandable since the place is small and getting a lot of attention on social media platforms. The space is well-ventilated with a nice ambiance, and the staff are super friendly and attentive. Will definitely come back!

    My niece ate here with her friends and couldn’t stop raving about how affordable the food is and how generous the servings are. We got excited and planned a family eat out here, but I decided to try it first with my partner, so we went ahead and had dinner. We ordered the Kare Kareng Bagnet, Lumpiang Shanghai, and Beef Nachos. True to their name, the food was served in minutes. In about 5 to 8 minutes, everything was already on our table. Now for the verdict: The Beef Nachos were really good, and the serving size was generous for ₱150. It can easily feed 3 to 4 people. The Kare Kareng Bagnet almost hit the spot. The sauce had the right consistency and color, but it was just a little short on that rich peanut flavor you expect from kare kare. Good thing their bagoong helped elevate it. For ₱250, the portion is also good for 3 to 4 people. Great value for money. The Lumpiang Shanghai was juicy, and I could see and taste bits of bell pepper, which I liked. Again, for ₱200, the serving is good for 3 to 4 people. The only letdown was the rice. It had a slightly burnt taste, like when the bottom of the pot gets overcooked and the smoky flavor spreads to the rest of the rice. The ambiance is relaxing, with nice jazz music in the background and candle lit tables, which made the dining experience pleasant. We will definitely go back to try other dishes. Overall, 4 out of 5.

    First time here and I’m genuinely impressed! Delicious food (highly recommend the sisig and wings. (You can even pick 2 flavors! Thanks for ate's reco tip) comfy ambiance, and generous portions. But what made the experience extra special? The staff. Super accommodating, friendly, and attentive like from helping me with my order, watching over my table, to packing takeouts nicely. That said, I was surprised and really sad to know there's no service charge. I know some will say that it's something na I should be happy about but having a sister who works in the same industry, I get how it's a big disadvantage in attendant's side not having SC. The team really deserves it. I hope management finds a way to reward their effort, because they make the place feel five-star. Will definitely be back!

From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel welcome and comfortable. The ambiance was warm and inviting, with tasteful decor and just the right lighting. The food was outstanding – every dish was full of flavor and beautifully presented. I especially loved the Beef Salpicao, which was cooked to perfection. The portion sizes were generous, and the ingredients tasted fresh. Service was fast and friendly, and the staff were happy to make recommendations. Prices were reasonable for the quality of food and service. Highly recommend this place for a date night or a relaxed dinner with friends and also for especial occasions.I’ll definitely be coming back!

    Last July 30, we dine-in at Meals in Minutes to celebrate my graduation. First thing that I liked about the restaurant is their affordable yet Instagramable place. Second, is their excellent customer service, making sure that we got the right order. 5 star for you

    The place is great overall! I love the design, the ambiance, and the classic background music. The food portions are VERY generous for its price. Everything is worth it!! The staff are welcoming and accommodating. Some other dishes have great potential though. Like, masarap yung chicken caesar salad nila but I hope they tune out the sweetness in their dressing a little. The spicycheese chicken wings are just coated with cheese sauce and sprinkled with chili powder; that's something that they can improve. We also ordered sinigang, carbonara, bicol express, sisig; all were yummy. I would definitely come back to try out their other dishes!!
