From the first bowl of donburi to the last pull of shisha — Grotto is built for the full night out.
"The interior alone is worth the trip — you walk in and feel like you've discovered a secret. The donburi was excellent and the shisha lasted the whole night. One of the most unique spots in Manila right now."
"We came for aperitivo at 6PM and ended up staying until midnight. The complimentary snacks during happy hour are a lovely touch. The Russian hookah flavors were new to us — incredibly smooth. Staff are warm and attentive."
"Hidden Hatch really outdid themselves with Grotto. The yakitori is some of the best I've had in Manila. Add the cave setting, the cocktails, and a good shisha and you've got a perfect Thursday night. Already planning to go back."
