Mama’s Kubo in Camden - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Should ask smokers to smoke farther as stinks in the restaurant. Taho looks like taho but doesnt taste like one. Please dont bundle pakchoi in the kare kare. And please use bagoong in the kare kare, not the pink alamang. Sisig is good but the owner should add a smile to the hospitality. Could improve more.

Authentic Filipino cuisine in London! I would go back even just for the sisig (vegetarian version also available!)

Really excellent food and friendly service. Have been multiple times and both the pork and chicken adobo are excellent. Calamari is the best I’ve ever had and rice pudding is delicious

Can't recommend enough. Delicious food, super authentic (I think) and nothing like anything I've ever had before. I'd stay and order everything off the menu if I could. The specials board is really interesting and the staff are lovely and explain everything in great detail. Well-priced and plenty of hearty food, would have loved to try a dessert!

Their bubble tea is fantastic with chewy pearls and perfect sweetness. The food is amazing, the atmosphere cozy, and the staff are friendly. Excellent service makes it a must-visit. Highly recommended!

Amazing food from a family run restaurant. I didn’t know much about Filipino food prior to going, but this was a very pleasant surprise, with so many nice unique flavours. Friendly and very helpful service too. A great find with this restaurant, I will be back for sure.

Mama's Kubo...... Take a bow....... Booked for 6 for birthday lunch. Conversed with Claudine over a few weeks organising cake, lunches specials etc etc. Always timely replies with good info. Arrived unexpectedly early, no issue with seating at all. Claudine was front of house and took effort and time to explain dishes to our Non Filipino guests. Service of the food was timely and in logical order. The Meal. Kare Kare was great, belly pork of the specials was excellent, a new take on Sisig for me but enjoyable, the pandit was high quality. Loved the lumpia. Being a regular visitor to the Philippines I've tried most of the cuisine and believe me, Mama's Kubo is up there in the top draw of Filipino Cuisine. Arranged and served a perfect Ube Cake for the birthday lady too. The restaurant is cosy and homely. Ok so the AC was broken due to outside influences, but you are eating food from a tropical country .....you will be warm. So once again, Thankyou Rommel (top quality chef). Thankyou Claudine. Thankyou to all the other staff there yesterday. You made 6 people very happy. Will see you again soon

We spotted this place whilst driving past it a few days ago, and decided to make a booking and come back for a Sunday lunch. We got a warm and friendly welcome, the Menu is not extensive, but adequate, something for everybody. The food however was slightly disappointing. The Pork Belly Adobo and the Chicken Adobo was not quite the way we enjoyed it in the Pilippines. Although the Menu said that it was made with Coconut Milk, it looked and tasted watery, with very little flavour. The Vegetable dish that we had ordered took a very long time to come, and was only served when we were halfway through our main dishes. The vegetable dish was burnt, the tafu was burnt black at the edges and the vegetables also tasted burnt, so much so that we left the dish almost uneaten.

Fantastic food. We were new to Filipino cuisine and they took the time to explain the dishes. We ordered the pork special, which was absolutely incredible, so rich and the crunch of the crackling was perfection. The garlic rice was possibly the best rice dish I've ever eaten. I'm still thinking about the meal a week later and really look forward to returning!

Absolutely amaaaaaazing filipino food! You can tell the staff really care about their food and love trying all the authentic dishes you can’t get elsewhere. The noodles and fried rice were amazing as well as the squid adobo. The fried chicken was so well marinated. The ube rice cake was also delicious. Was served well despite the business. Will definitely come here again!! 🇵🇭

One of the best Asian food I’ve had. Filipino cuisine Small variety of veg food but good options and value.

Family run, authentic Filipino restaurant- so glad they’re representing in London!! Ordered the fish sinigang and a bone marrow broth from their special menu. Owners are funny and professional- will definitely be returning despite the journey all the way out to west hamstead!

I give this restaurant a rating of 2 on the food that they served because I was disappointed specifically with the crispy pata. They served a gammon shank and deep fry it. I find it very deceitful knowing that it is a cheap meat and then charging the customer £30 for it. It was salty and very obvious that it is a ham shank because of the colour of the meat. Just wondering as well of what part of the Philippines , cooked a crispy pasta like this. Not recommended.

Been here twice! I love their pancit palabok and they have nice staff! Thanks!

Fantastic super tasty and authentic food with great service. Will be back and highly recommended

Food were exceptional, very delicious. Fat on the Lechon Kawali melts in your mouth! Yum! Every dish cooked to perfection, service attentive and very friendly. Price bit high but overall deserve a 5 star rating .

My favourite restaurant in London! Every dish is absolutely amazing and the atmosphere is really nice. I don’t live close by but the trip is worth it everytime. My favourites are the squid adobo and the pork special when it’s on. But again — every single dish is great. And always great to finish with ube ice cream 💓

Delicious authentic Filipino food with warm hospitality.

First time went. Enjoyed every moment.

The high ratings of the place are for a good reason. The food was incredible, and the service was great too - the lady was super kind, explained the specials and the different bits on the menu, asked for allergens, vegans, etc. The crispy pork belly was perfect 👌🏼 Definitely going back!

5 of us had an an early dinner in celebration of Mother’s Day. First impressions on arrival was welcoming. The dining area was cosy and warm. Claudine was very friendly, engaging and efficient. There was a good selections of dishes that cater for vegetarian and gluten free. We all enjoyed the food. The relaxed atmosphere added to a great get together. I highly recommend Mama’s Kubo for a range of Filipino food and value for money. Thanks also to the brilliant chef Rommel!

Disappointing. Cost cutting is rife with cheap meats being used in their dishes. Sistek had no lemon twang. Lumpia was filled with mince and not much else. Adobo also very disappointing. Avoid.

Food here is amazing! So much flavour and very cosy place

Delicious food. The owner is a very lovely and passionate person with great hospitality.vibe is Very friendly place and feels like a home of a relative you're visiting.

The taste of food needs to be updated

A gem, thank you for a lovely meal, we look forwto coming back 🙏

We went there for 3 evenings in our week in London. It is a small place with an atmosphere if crowded, you can eat very well while spending less than in other ethnic restaurants in the area. The couple who run it are very nice

Great restaurant run by lovely people. Food is good value and very high quality, service is excellent and couldn’t recommend highly enough. Best Filipino restaurant in north London easily.

Buen trato y miy buena comida. Vinimos probando y todas las recomendaciones han sido buenas y acertadas . Nos hemos sentido con un trato familiar y comida increíble

I had dinner at this restaurant and the entire experience was exceptional, the food and customer service was brilliant. Will definetly be coming back

Very delicious food and attentive staff. Prices are extremely reasonable for the quality of the food which I must stress is absolutely delicious. Can't believe I haven't gone here more often as I walk past it all the time.

Great food and service. Worth travelling out of your way for.

My favourite Filipino restaurant in London :) Will always come back whenever I get the chance too. They also have the best ginataang bilo-bilo out there, that we even ordered takeout after our dine in for how good it was

great Filipino restaurant in London!

Having finally eaten here, I can see where all the positive reviews are coming from. We were greeted warmly and he patiently explained the entire menu (which is super authentic, and with exciting specials). The atmosphere is really cozy, homey, and lovely. The "spring rolls" were extremely good, and so was the pork belly special and the broth. We will be back to try other items on the menu. Luckily they now open from 1pm and even serve Filipino breakfast items.

Cosy, friendly place with beautiful tasty food

Thank you for your service on this important day. My family and I will definitely return.

We came here for my daughter's birthday as a party of 9. The staff were attentive and accommodating to our needs (fussy tennager and they suggested something she loved on the menu). I grew up on filipino food and it was lovely to experience those flavours again since my mum passed. The food was excellently prepared and delicious and we all thoroughly enjoyed the dishes. Our particular favourite was the pancit chicken canton. The restaurant felt cozy and had a lovely warmth and comfort to it - like being welcomed into their home. Thank you to all the staff - we thoroughly enjoyed our meal and would definitely recommend and look forward to visiting again.

Food is incredible. Had a longanisa there that changed my life, think I ordered 3 portions one time. The chef and his family are also the loveliest people and the restaurant has an amazing family ambience - big inter generational families having celebrations always which is really heartwarming and adds to the vibes. Whenever we go we always end up talking to people on the tables next to us. Did I mention the food is god tier? 10/10

The food was great and the staff were very hospitable. The leche flan was so good!

Usually when I get someone to try filipino food, I bring them to the fancier westernised filipino restaurant so I was abit skeptical to go here at first. But I trusted the reviews online and from friends who’ve already been. I was not disappointed! In fact we devoured the sisig and the tortang talong aswell as the palabok we ordered! Serving is also bigger than expected, so we thought we’d have some left over but nope. Simot lahat! Flavours were definitely authentic! It wasnt adjusted to cater the western tasebuds! It was the real homey taste! The adobo had the distinct sourness and saltiness! The sisig had a nice texture and the palabok was smokey and pleasantly fishy plus had alot of toppings! So sulit! Ooh and the ladies who served us were very warm. There were only two of them but they were quick and attentive plus we watched them prep for a big group of people but they still made sure we were looked after! Was very pleased with my experience!

Great food and atmosphere! Thank you :)

Wonderful food. Fantastic hospitality. Cosy atmosphere. Great prices. Will definitely be going back again!

Went here and was so great! Really solid home style Filipino food would highly recommend trying! Would get the pork adobo for sure

Great food, incredible dessert and lovely staff

Great little Filipino restaurant in Finchley Road. Been going here a few times and the food never disappoints. Close to authentic home-cooked Filipino food you can get, and the staff are super friendly and accommodating. Highly recommend!

Amazing food and quality 👌 will defo recommend.

Good quality Filipino home cooking. Would recommend to first-timers to Filipino food and homesick Pinoys alike.

Amazing Filipino food, and the desert was truly next level.

Delicious Filipino food. Could do more sauce and vegetables in the vegetarian kare-kare. Chicken adobe was lovely. Haluhalo and turon was nice, too.

Cosy place, great food, friendly service

My first time trying Filipino food and wow! Delicious and flavoursome! Absolutely loved the pork belly humba! Great menu and definitely want to go back and try some more!

Very good food and excellent service! Food was amazing and the staff are all friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend them! Thank you very much

Lovely food served by a very friendly family. I’d never had this cuisine before and had it helpfully explained to us when we arrived. There was a great selection of specials in addition to the regular menu. I had prawn spring rolls in a lovely hot sauce followed by the squid adobo special. Beautifully presented food and they checked to see if we were enjoying it. Please support these guys!

You can tell a Filipino restaurant is good if it's packed with filipino customers Everything about this place was nostalgic, it was almost as if you had just popped over to your cousins house for lunch We got 2 starters, 2 Mains and 2 drinks this cost us little over £58 service incl. The portions were good, just the right amount to avoid that bloated feeling. Everything was delicious, presented well and service was amazing! If you're a filipino missing home, someone who wants to try something new or anything in between I can't reccomend this place highly enough. We will definitely be back, thank you!

Very cute and homey restaurant. We had calamari, chicken adobo (highly recommend) and halo halo (dessert). The staff is very friendly too!

Traditional and Delicious Local Philippines cuisine in London !

Booked a table on the off chance on a Friday, arrived and table reserved. Mrs G(the Filipina) had the squid Adobo and rated it very highly. The Beef Kare Kare is a bowl of creamy, beefy, peanuty deliciousness. The Leche flan was disappointing as they only had one left and neither of us wanted to share with each other, wanted one each..... The young waitress was rushed off her poor little feet Ambience is good, it did full up quickly on a Friday night. They also serve Red Horse beer. My favourite Filipino beer. All in all, a decent meal out for Mrs G and myself, will certainly recommend and return

Well priced, friendly staff, great food

One of my favourite places to eat, the staff are so unbelievably friendly and the food is absolutely out of this world. A culinary experience!!

I've been here a few times now, and went again over the weekend. We ordered a pork knuckle dish (one of the specials) and a beef stew, all of which were delicious. This type of place is the reason why I often prefer to dine and support family-run restaurants (rather than chain's with no personality), where the food is cooked with pride with that home-cooked feeling with genuinely friendly service, all of which contributes to a really nice vibe to the place and a lovely experience overall.

Visited this lovely place as we were craving for some Filipino foods. All staff are very friendly and ambience is very cosy. Definitely highly recommendable for family and friends.

We ordered Kare Kare,chicken adobo and fish sinigang for main. Kare kare the beef was still tough the chicken adobo is too vinegary the sinigang was ok. For starter we had the pork spring roll it was good but the Calamari was not it’s very different to a calamari that we like to order wherever restaurants we go. The halo halo is not the typical halo halo that I grew up eating in Philippines. The service was good nice and friendly place just disappointed about the food to be honest.

An amazing find for authentic Filipino food in London! Honestly can not find a fault in any of the dishes, we shared between 4 people and servings were a good size. Definitely order extra rice to to go with it. Service was quick and friendly too. We will be going back many times.

Having watched a load of videos on TikTok about Philippino food I rounded up three friends and we went to Mama’s Kubo for a late lunch. It looked closed from over the road, but it was actually open when we got closer. The food was amazing and the staff were really friendly. The waitress was really helpful with helping us choose and the chef came out to speak to us a couple of times. We had the pork knuckle special, a couple of adobos and accompaniments and some beers and it was great value. We’d certainly go back.

Fried rice is just out of this world.

Best filipino restaurant in London, hands down. I will be returning soon. If you havent been, get your a$$ down a.s.a.p

Amazing home-like food, very authentic and the staff are very friendly. So much food to try and the desserts are out of this world.

We discovered this place by recommendation, and it is truly amazing food and service. I recommend pomelo gin. This place is a family run business with very kind hosts and more impressively the food is great. Although we are not vegetarian, their vegetable dishes are our main choice. Very tasty :)

Attended a private event and ate a three course vegan menu as an alternative to the meat options. Food was well presented and tasted good. Service was special as the restaurant is intimate. Chef was particularly friendly and went of his way to make us feel about about his menu. I would say that as it was a private event, the vegan option shouldn’t cost the same as the meat option, but that may be different when ordering a La Carte. If you haven’t tried Filipino food, you can definitely start here.

Would give more than 5 stars if possible. Booked the window seat by the entrance for my partner and I's anniversary. Quick response. When we arrived, we were promptly and warmly led to our table. Such excellent food, wonderful ambiance, and world class service. Salamat po.

Went with my boyfriend and his Dad and had a great time! Food was genuinely amazing and the staff were great! This was our first time trying Filipino food and the staff were great (asked if we’d had Filipino food before) and explained everything so clearly and even had photos to show what the food would be like! Loved it !

Nice place cosy food is very nice, toilets clean staff very friendly

amazing food, staff were very helpful and friendly.

Delicious food and amazing service !

Had a really nice dinner here a few months ago. The food is very good and the service is interpersonal. Would recommend.

Really fab cosy restaurant, welcoming service and food is delicious. First time tried Filipino food, great flavours.

Excellent food, awesome service. We had: Fried chicken, Pork belly adobo, pork sisig, rice, ube and pandan ice cream. Definitely coming back to try everything else.

Looked after me and my friend for our Birthdays. Super lovely family that was kind, helpful and patient with my loud group of friends. Thank you for making it such a wonderful birthday dinner! Highly recommended!!

Group of 15 people and we had the best time! Tita Claudine & Tito Rommel and staff were so lovely and gave us amazing service. The food was delicious and the bulalo was out of this world!! It’s the place to go when you miss filipino home cooked food. Thank you po for everything! My friends really enjoyed it and ate their fill 🥰

This is my favourite restaurants in London by a mile. Been multiple times and the food is just outstanding. Perfectly cooked chicken, crispy skin and balanced adobo sauce. The Kare Kare is amazing: great peanut flavour and smoky hints from the aubergine. Coconut rice is really flavourful and complemented everything. Amazing service as well and fairly priced. Absolutely recommend the trip here, you won’t be disappointed.

Probably our favourite Filipino restaurant in London. Everything we tried was amazing, however I would particularly like to mention their desserts; Ube ice cream is 🤤. It seems this is a family run restaurant and the atmosphere is super friendly

Great food, great service and cute interior. I loved trying the unique dishes that were recommended by our server. I had never had Filipino food before but I will definitely be back! Only feedback would be a couple more vegan options wouldn’t go amiss !

Having grown up in the Philippines, Mama’s Kubo is my favourite Filipino restaurant in London - and I’ve tried many! Filipino cuisine doesn’t have the same profile as Thai or other Southeast Asian cuisines, but that’s probably down to Filipino cuisine requiring more marketing and socialising. I’m glad that Mama’s Kubo sets a high standard in championing Filipino cuisine. This is one of our regular go-to restaurants when we want to introduce friends to our local gems. The chef and Front of House are warm and treat you like another member of the family. Can’t recommend Mama’s Kubo enough!

Had lunch with my parents here, the place is small but super cosy and clean, staff keep to true Filipino hospitality, service is top-notch, and the food is delightful; but i’m sure you already knew that!

My husband and I received a great welcome. The prawn spring rolls with the chilli dip was lovely. We had the beef ribs to share. The beef was succulent. To be honest for us it wasn't really enough to share, it was quiet small for two people, due to bones and fat. There wasn't enough asparagus and potatoes for two. One ribs each, or just one and something else would have been better had we have known. Fries were not on the menu, but the kitchen accomadated this 😋, thank you so much. The Jasmine rice was lovely. The mango salad very nice, just a bit too much liquid. The only issue was the mango salad came then awhile later the fries, then a good while later the ribs and rice. It would have been good if everything came at the same time! Lemongrass drink was so nice, small glasses though. Maybe a single and large should be available, as a suggestion. My husband really enjoyed the red horse beer. If you are a beer lover please try it. We had to move seats as too many little flys were flying around. However they seemed to be worse in our new seats. It did spoil the meal and my husband and I's time together, so although would have stayed longer we didn't. The price was very good, we would have spent more, and would have gone again.

Finally returned to this Pinoy gem of a restaurant after a couple of years. Menu is smaller though and only 4 days of operation. Palabok, slow cooked beef and Biko are still fantastic!! Giving it 4 stars only because the squid adobo and morning glory were too salty and garlic rice though delicious was too oily. I hope these could be easily rectified.

AMAZING! Wanted to take my mum to a lovely Filipino restaurant for her birthday and this was it! The food was absolutely amazing, the customer service was excellent! Everything tasted absolutely fantastic. Well worth every penny and will be back here again in the future. 10/10!

Recently held my wife's birthday party at Mama's Kubo. All the food was delicious and the staff were brilliant. I look forward to visiting again soon.

Second time visiting Mama’s Kubo & absolutely love it! The food is fantastic, good sized portions, very tasty and decently priced. The chicken Adobo is wonderful. The staff is extremely friendly and welcoming. A hidden gem in North London.

We had a delicious meal here! Really enjoyed every dish and the staff were all lovely too. We’ll be coming back soon!

Delicious authentic Filipino food and fabulous, most welcoming customer service. And cocktails, what more could you ask for! I highly recommend a visit.

The service and staff deserve 5+ stars. We tried this place twice and whilst we liked the flavours, the portion sizes are small for the price. Even the bowl of rice didn’t seem to have enough in there. On our second visit we ordered the beef rib at £20 from the day’s menu, and although it tasted good, it was mostly fat and the little meat it had was remarkably hard to cut even with the stale knife and even harder to chew. Also the ventilation in the kitchen needs improving. Shame as it’s a cute little place and very welcoming, so we think it has potential to improve.

Really really authentic and tasty

Excellent quality traditional filipino food with very friendly service!

Wonderful food served by lovely people. The Mango salad was outstanding.

What a place! Every bite is full of flavor and it makes you want more!

Family-friendly restaurant with delicious, authentic and fresh food and a wonderful team. The music playlist was full of bangers as well. We had the fried chicken, crispy pork knuckle, ube ice cream and biko - all fantastic! We really enjoyed ourselves. Thanks for having us and looking forward to visiting again!

Having read such good reviews I was really disappointed with our meal. The two meat dishes we had were virtually inedible as almost all the meat was either gristle or fat. Maybe dining in is better but I won’t be trying it!
