Ziggurat Cuisine Makati is a culinary sanctuary where cultures converge, stories unfold, and authentic flavors from across the globe are celebrated daily. Established in the early 2000s, Ziggurat was born out of a deep passion for international cuisine, especially the bold, spice-laden dishes found in India, Africa, the Middle East, and the Mediterranean. Our name, Ziggurat, reflects our inspiration—ancient Mesopotamian temples where people gathered, connected, and honored tradition. In much the same way, our restaurant stands as a meeting point for people from all walks of life to share meals and make memories.
What began as a humble idea to introduce diverse, lesser-known cuisines to the Manila food scene has grown into a beloved fixture in the heart of Makati. Over the years, Ziggurat has earned a reputation for its eclectic menu, late-night hours, and welcoming, bohemian atmosphere. Our kitchen remains dedicated to tradition—slow-cooking stews, toasting spices, and preparing meals from scratch—just like how it’s done in homes across the regions we represent.
We are proud to serve signature dishes like Indian biryanis, kebabs, Nigerian groundnut soup, Mediterranean hummus and tabbouleh, and Middle Eastern tagines and flatbreads. Each plate is a reflection of our commitment to cultural authenticity and culinary respect, with halal-friendly preparations and no pork used in our kitchen, catering partly to our Muslim guests.
At Ziggurat Cuisine Makati, every visit is an adventure. Whether you’re sipping spiced Indian chai, trying our unique Qaddafi Siopao crafted by Chef Raquel Dadang—who once cooked for the Libyan leader himself—or simply sharing a hookah and cocktails with friends, you’re part of a tradition that values warmth, inclusivity, and discovery.
More than just a restaurant, Ziggurat has become a home for food lovers, travelers, and night owls looking for comfort, conversation, and a taste of the world—without ever leaving Manila.
We invite you to dine with us and experience why, after all these years, Ziggurat remains a cherished crossroads of cuisine and culture.
