After announcing their closure on May 14, the Filipino restaurant returns to the area, located a few streets up the hill on Elgin Street.

Founder Jen Balisi is refreshing her first restaurant concept with a “Filipino heart, New York edge” take for its new smaller, yet cosier 20-seat space, including a section for Pinoy Pizzas, an ode to Jen’s tenure in the Big Apple. Think Filipino flavours meeting charred New York-style rippable pizzas. 

Signatures on the menu include spicy funky coconut noodles (HKD148), kare-kare (HKD88), adobo birra quesotacos (HKD88), and siomai (HKD58).

“We were gutted when we had to close our doors, but the outpouring of love from our ‘barkada’ was incredible. This new space is everything we’ve wanted – intimate, edgy, and all about the food. It’s a return to our street food soul, with a bit of a New York swagger. We can’t wait to welcome everyone back,” Jen Balisi shared in a press release.

Barkada is currently offering 15% off all menu items and a bring-your-own-bottle policy till Jul. 15 during their soft opening.

The new multi-dish tasting menu (HKD1,188 pp) is chef Manav’s homage to the culinary craftsmanship of India’s ancient dynasties and royal courts. To design the menu, the chef spent countless hours researching long-lost recipes from Persian manuscripts, Ayurvedic traditions, and historic documents.

Each dish tells a story of India’s past in a creative, modernised way. The menu kicks off with the tangy rasam fish-cheek soup, a recipe once developed by royal Ayurvedic physicians in ancient Madurai to treat an ill prince, and vataka crab and lentil cake, a warrior’s snack enjoyed during the Mauryan Empire.

Then come the likes of the Mughal dish shishranga murg, or six-colour chicken, adapted from the Persian cookbook Nuskha-e-Shahjahani, kola urandai lamb croquette favoured by Sangam soldiers and hunters, and qaliya Shirazi Persian lamb stew, a staple of Mughal royal court life.

This meticulously researched and executed tasting menu ends with the khaja pistachio cream crisps, also originating in the Mauryan era. An optional Saicho sparkling tea (+HKD260 pp) or wine (+HKD400 pp) pairing add-on is available.
