Highly recommended! They made our daughter's intimate debut celebration extra special and successful by serving very delicious food at a reasonable price, hardworking and friendly staff especially Ms Sherly very helpful. Our guests' consistent comment is the delicious food and beautiful ambiance of the place. Rating of 5 is not enough for the quality of service they gave us. We will surely regularly visit your place �
Thank you Happy Garden Cafe! Great food! Friendly staff! Super nice place! Thank you for accommodating us on an Easter Sunday for my daughter's 1st birthday! The guests loved the food and the place so much!!! �����

Their OMG Pasta (PhP 495 - for sharing, PhP 265 - personal) closely resembles the traditional palabok but with more delectable elements in the mix. It consisted of crab fat, scallops, smoked fish, and angel hair shrimps shell sauce. The flavors were rich without leaving you in a food coma.
Ox Tongue with Mushroom Sauce (PhP 795) was delicious! Ordering anything with truffle sauce always turns out a good decision for us. The mushroom sauce was taken up a notch with white wine. We loved how the heady aroma even intensified the robust earthy flavors.
Wagyu Beef Salpicao on Shiitake Black Rice (PhP 495) was one of the highlights of the meal for me. It was composed of Saikoro wagyu "melt-in-your-mouth" beef cubes that demonstrated a really pure tenderloin beef taste.
Tofu with Black Pepper Sauce (PhP 295) is a vegetarian-friendly and gluten-free dish that treat tofu the way it deserves. It featured an intriguing display of flavors and textures with fresh shiitake mushrooms, mixed greens, tahini, and orange dressing.
In their Margherita Pizza (PhP 525), the boldness of the tangy tomato stood out most, which we liked a lot. It was nicely complemented by the pomodoro sauce and mozzarella cheese, all punctuated by overarching notes of fragrant basil. The crust had a puffy-edged character that I also enjoyed.
Prices are generally on the expensive side but deliver good and reasonable value. Happy Garden Cafe seems to be dishing out straightforward, satisfying fare in a relaxed setting. It's doing an admirable job in nurturing the area with a great concept which combines approachable healthy dishes with comfort food favorites. This cafe represents the owners' love for fresh food, even welcoming those with gluten intolerance. Check it out.

Healthy, gluten-free, organic, and clean ingredients are some of the things you can associate Happy Garden Cafe with. Vegans and vegetarians also find comfort in dining here.
I dined here tonight with the owner and brains behind this concept, Annabel Tanco. She shares that some of the dishes they offer here were longtime recipes of hers. Anabel is also behind the successful brand, Bizu.
The feast commenced with Happy Garden’s refreshing bowl of Watercress Soup. I’ve never heard of such soup made mostly from water plants, and I’m glad I did. It was really delicious, especially with its addition of organic white egg.
Next stop was an unexpected favorite, Annie’s Cauliflower Rice. It gave me the impression that I was downing carbs, but it was actually all vegetable. It’s a complete meal in itself as it also has shrimps, spinach egg and flavors of smoked fish.
I paired my ‘rice’ with two of their premium items, USDA Choice Rib-Eye with Truffle Mushroom Sauce and Thai Shrimp Cakes. The former was meat all mighty and tender, while the latter was shrimp air-fried to perfection. Don’t forget to dip it with loads of sweet and spicy, agave chili sauce.
I highly recommend having Happy Garden’s collection of beverages as well while you indulge in their food. I enjoyed their Green Juice tremendously, a concoction made up of kale, parsley, apple, celery, and lemon. This juice can boost one's immune system and is anti-cancer.
Finally, we had sweets. Our table welcomed two ice desserts, one is traditional Thai Halo Halo made sugar-free and the other, their very own wow version of our local Halo Halo.
I am surely visiting again. There is absolutely no reason why I shouldn’t. Happy Garden has all the pieces from beautiful ambiance to a quality, well-designed menu.
I have gluten intolerance and finding a restaurant which serves gluten-free is very rare in our country.
Their food and desserts are all yummy plus they’re reasonably priced. Must try!
I've been meaning to visit and dine here for the longest time. They're under Bizu so I was confident that the food, service, and interiors would be lovely - and they are indeed!
We tried their OMG Pasta, which was like a fancy palabok with angel hair pasta and seafood; Margherita Pizza which was okay, tasted like how margherita should be; Truffle Pizza which was SO GOOD, and cupcakes in banana and carrot flavors which tasted okay but were creatively designed as flower pots, though the 'pot' was made from silicone and wasn't edible - it would have been better if that itself was edible.
The ambiance was really warm and cozy framed by greens and lights, perfect for small gatherings.
This place has undergone many hands - from a different resto to Kitchen 56, now to Happy Garden. :) The interiors are relaxing and you seem to be transported to another area altogether. The food is very healthy and offers salads, pasta and other good stuff. :) food is a little expensive though but is understandable, given that it is not your usual fare. how they present it, offers a unique and interesting take. the taste is amazing! :)
Everytime we would pass by this restaurant on foot or by car, we would always think it was some kind of flower shop. But thanks to a social gathering for someone dear to us, we finally set foot inside and saw how beautiful their interior was. Truly enough, they had a relaxing outdoor vibe. The famous Bizu caught us by surprise, keeping us excited for dessert later on.
Buffet experience was very, very enjoyable! We loved, pretty much, EVERYTHING! Notable mentions would be the tenderness of the 10-hour Roast Beef, the fragrant herbs of our chicken and bread rolls, the dressing and delicious alfalfa of our salad, and the fish, so soft you can eat it without using your teeth. 😊 And of course, nothing beats good bonding time with friends and loved ones.
Service was very quick on beverage refills and taking plates out. Everyone was friendly and accommodating as well. Thank you for a good first-visit experience!

I actually just made an account on Zomato because I have eaten here several times already and I want to give it the rating that it deserves. I have been reading some of the other reviews here and I just want to say that, if you're looking for cheap food, then this place is NOT the place to go to. The INGREDIENTS of SOME of the food on their menu are actually expensive- so I do feel that it is rightly priced. It's actually cheaper than some of the other restaurants that I have been to that also caters to people who are looking for something healthy and organic to eat. My personal favorites here are:1.) Happy Garden Halo-Halo (Probably the best halo-halo that I've ever eaten)2.) Spinach Ravioli Pomodoro 3.) OMG PastaI crave often for some of what they have served me here and that's why I keep coming back. The service is also great. The ambiance is so relaxing and you get to eat free popcorn while waiting for your food. Everything is also gluten free. I'm not sure why it's called a "Cafe" but I do consider this place to be one of Makati's hidden gems. - Kudos to the chef who cooks here, the staff and to the person who worked on the recipe of the dishes.
Visited this place around lunch time and there weren’t any customers around except me. The food is good but might only be appreciated by those whose preference is true-blue healthy eating. Price point is also a bit high.
Had a lunch meeting here with some colleagues and the place looks really amazing. The parking was really easy too.
Ordered the Salmon Rice Bowl (which tastes good). The food were all organic.
Service is okay, but can be improved. The place is made friendly for senior citizens. Quite spacious and well lit for meetings.
We’ve been looking for a place to celebrate our Daughter’s 18th Birthday and we found out Happy Garden Cafe has good review, hence we went and tried their food. We ate Korean beef stew, pampano fish, chicken satay and margarita pizza. It was all delicious, the presentation and quality is excellent. Above all the ambience was perfect, it was cozy and so relaxing. The staff we’re so courteous and friendly.
