My favorite food of all time is kare-kare, a kapampangan dish. Cabalen is a kapampangan-based resto. I admit, I went there only for the kare-kare. I was expecting more since this is their forte. Sayang, mas lami pa ang kare-kare sa Kuya J. To be fair, it wasn't that bad. It is delectable it is just that I was expecting more.
The buffet, few choices lang, mas daghan kakanin. I love the pancit and the dessert na morag halo-halo.
At first I was intrigued by this Luzon-based restaurant & when I tried it, I say they serve good old Filipino buffet at competitive price. Most food being displayed here came from the north & this way you will appreciate what they provide like lechon kawali, sisig, dinuguan, kare-kare, bopis, halo-halo, biko, buko pandan, sapin-sapin, etc.😊 Craving for a quick Filipino feast, this is my bet for you!😁
if you’re searching for delightful local dishes, then you should drop at this eat-all-you-can buffet. for desserts, their chocolate fondue is a must-try. drinks are paid separately. service needs improvement though. however, it was an awesome dining experience
After years of being in business and with too many competitors these days, many people still choose to eat at Cabalen because of their fair-priced buffet.

For a buffet, it is affordable and easy to locate which is very convenient for us. However, they have less choice of foods but still delicious anyway.
their location is strategically place near the entrance of the sm cebu, so its a plus, another is the price for the food, just below 300 it is quite affordable for those who love to eat, next is their food, it taste good but honestly its not something i would write poems about because of its juicy goodness, the food is simply filipino style that you can cook yourself, in your own house. the ambiance is mediocre at best, the place is too cramp for me but the staff were kind and thoughtful.
The staffs were accomodating and the food was great especially the humba (I guess that was the name) and the sisig. Moreover, the price is affordable and worth it and the kids are free as long as they are 3 feet below. I would love to visit there next time. Two thumbs up.
I'm back! Back in the game. Anyways, I think it's been a month since my graduation celeb where we held it at Cabalen. So back then, I was super excited hearing we would be having our dinner at Cabalen. To be honest, I was a bit disappointed or just because I expect too much? I was really looking forward for delicious foods but everything in their is somehow common to me, what amused me is their chocolate fountain (which is common too haha) although their foods are common somehow it will satisfy your tummy. Thumbs up for their service and crew. 👍
