Kalye

We had a wonderful experience at Kalye Restaurant! The place is beautiful with a great ambiance that makes you feel comfortable right away. The food is absolutely delicious and truly feels like home in the Philippines. Every dish reminds you of authentic Filipino flavors. The staff are also very nice, welcoming, and attentive. Highly recommend if you’re craving real Filipino food in a cozy and friendly place!

Kayle was the perfect place to host a kamayan / boodle fight and did not disappoint. From the moment we walked in the entire team made us feel so welcome. We hosted 26 people and the staff, general manager, owner, office manager, bartenders, and chef (Vance!) were all incredibly kind and supportive, especially with a mix of Filipino and non Filipino guests. They helped with everything and made sure everyone felt comfortable and taken care of. The food was masarap abundant and meant for sharing.The flavors were unique with bright colorful veg and fruit that made the spread feel extra special. The decor was v cool + truly a gem in the LES. The whole experience felt easy warm and communal :) Oh, and the cocktails were FIRE.

Walked in with my husband before dinner rush and had a great time at Kalye. Our server Justyn was an absolute gem of a human, made us feel so welcomed. He gave great recommendations and informed us about the happy hour! Cant wait to go back. Must trys are bbq skewers(and the sauce that comes with it is the best—I put it on eveything), kunilaw and the chicken inasal (it was juicy and the rice was yum!).

Came here for dinner with my family. As soon as I walked in I immediately loved the vibes! This place is cozy with great music. The food was absolutely delicious. We got the Isaw Pancit Habhab and Pork sisg everything was so good! The isaw was not gamey at all and the pancit had a nice chew! The pork sisig was crunchy yet slightly sour and spicy from the pepper on top. Everything we ate was delicious and I definitely recommend the pork sisig. Also the owner rob was very nice and friendly even coming to our table to great us and stayed for a lovely little chat! This place is definitely awesome and we will be coming back! Thank you for a wonderful time and great friendly experience with the staff and everyone!

thoughtful and deliciously crafted menu, beautiful drinks and good vibes all around - between the kind and attentive service and the chill r&b music, both were the cherry on top to complete such a cozy and inviting experience! perfect spot to catch up and share some classic filipino eats with friends and fam<3 or better yet, bring anyone who hasn’t tried filipino food before - it’ll be love at first bite🥹❤️ shoutout to kuya jeremiah!! looking forward to coming back sooooon🤙🏼

Jeremiah was our server both times we came here. He was amazing both times. The food was exceptional. We had the lechon kawale, Beef Sinigang, sliders, and Lumpia. The casava cake was authentic.

Justyn Alessi Raheem Keiana Jeremiah were absolutely amazing. The food was delicious. The prices are good. The atmosphere is crazy the decorations of lovely. I would definitely recommend this to everyone to come here. This place is a definite vibe. When you come in ask for Justyn

Came here for the happy hour, we love the food and atmosphere here. My husband and I had a great time. Music there is dope, the Manila Martini tastes good, and I like the fish appetizer which I forgot the name lol.

Food and service are amazing! Great ambience! Band is awesome!! Defly recommend for a chill night!

Came back with my wife and it's still great. The portions are generous and prices are reasonable. That, plus the food is delicious. We went with the pork skewers, lumpia, beef tapa, and sisiq. We ended up not even finishing everything and had to take some home. This is the second and larger location than the original one, only a few blocks away. They even have happy hour. This is an easy winner.

One of the coolest experiences I've had in New York! For my friend's birthday, we made a reservation here for 15 people and they set up an amazing feast for us. It was so incredibly well put together and there was so much food! At first, it was very overwhelming and I didn't know where to start but it was really fun eating with my hands and sharing this experience with close friends. The lumpia was soooo tasty and the lechon with the liver sauce had a nice smokiness to it. I also really liked the chicken and beef skewers. They had an eggplant salad that had a salted egg topping that was surprisingly well paired. The other dishes were less notable. The staff were very nice, we told them it was our friends birthday and they brought over a free ube ice cream. They had live music playing as well. It was around $81 per person including tip and tax.

Came here on a Saturday night with no reservations and they were able to seat us - restaurant was pretty empty. The staff was incredibly sweet. Their menu is on a cube and it's annoying because each side is a different part of the menu so it's multiple scan instead of just one. The food was good but the ube horchata was my favorite. I didn't take a good pic of the garlic rice but it was extremely greasy. I wouldn't recommend that.

A true gem of the LES! Delicious food and standout drinks with the coolest vibe and people. This is the second location of Kalye, but the only one with a full bar and what a treat that is! Came here for a happy hour and takeout moment with a friend on Saturday and grabbed some seats at the bar. Pam the hostess was so friendly and helpful with the menu, while Chris the bartender concocted the coolest drinks. We got the Manila Martini w homemade pandan syrup and the Surprise Me (I told Chris I liked sweet and vodka, and he whipped up a sweet aperol kalamansi martini- perfect!). Each was $10 during hh which is such a good price. We also got takeout- the Lumpia which were filled with a flavorful pork mix, and the Pancit Palabok which had lots of shrimp and delicious and flavorful curry over rice noodles. Both huge portions! Overall a great vibe with fantastic drinks- will def be back!

We came here specifically for the Boodle Fight 95 dish aka Club 95 ( a variety of skewers, lumpia, beef, seafood, veggies and rice). This was a good portion for 4 of us average sized girls to eat for dinner. From this, we absolutely loved the pork skewers, the beef, the lumpia, the two rice options, and the mango/cucumber salad. The seafood was agreed to be subpar. The presentation of the dish was stunning though! 4/5 We also ordered the Kinilaw (Tuna Ceviche) dish. Sadly this one was barely touched. The taste of it was pretty tangy. The cucumbers helped. 2/5 The staff were very friendly and kind! We came without reservations but they kindly sat us at a table and asked if we could be out in 1.5 hours before the next reserved party was due at the table we were at. We really appreciate Kalye Rivington for accommodating us! Thank you! 5/5

Food is great - there were pork-free options and even vegetarian options (though limited), which is hard to find in Filipino restaurants. Both entrees were delicious and portions were fair. Drinks were phenomenal with unique flavors and ingredients and the service was lovely. Would go back!

I went for drinks and to enjoy the live band. The bartender delivered not only a flavorful cocktails but the vision behind this location and the culture it housed. He romanced me explaining each ingredient after I asked if there were cherries on the bottom of the drink. They were actually an edible Filipino candy. The flavors were carefully blended to where once he pointed them out I confirmed I tasted it but prior could not point them out. I cannot wait to return again with a group.

Fantastic food and vibes. Came here with some colleagues for a team dinner and had a great time. Server was super helpful We ordered their big platter of food which was meant for 4 people but fed our party of 6. There was seafood, lumpia, skewers rice and everything. Was basically Kamayan feast. We also added a pork sisig which was phenomenal and probably the favorite of the evening. We ended the meal with their Ube ice cream which was creamy and full of the ube flavor. Highly recommend

Amazing filipino food, I only had it once before, but this is even better than I remembered. Pork skewers were extremely flavorful, and the pancit palabok (noodles) had an amazing addicting sauce that I couldn't' help but finish. Really like the interior and bar area, and the service was very friendly. Would love to try their other dishes as well

Restaurant has a great ambiance, decorations and lighting makes the space feel cozy! Appetizers were delicious and the ube ice cream - the pancit palabok was an interesting flavor that I personally did not enjoy, but it could be more of a me issue. Our server Roxy was super friendly! Would go back and try the sisig or the lechón!

Came for a Yelp event with a friend. The staff was super nice and attentive, and the bartender was really fun to talk to. Me and friend split the lumpia and shrimp noodles, both of which were great- nice and warm. Space was also super cute with colorful walls- great spot for friends or first dates. I also tried the pandan leaf martini, which was fire!

Filipino-American here -- this place is valid! Came in with my friends not knowing what to expect but this hit the craving. The last time I had Red Horse and sisig like this was in Pampanga (if you know you know). We went on a Friday -- DJ this night was spot on and kept the vibe bouncy, food was intentional and well done, and the people were attentice and uber-friendly. Shoutout to Rika and Raneem and Roxie who brought the energy and service -- an experience I'll definitely remember. Wasn't too packed when I came, but I'm sure this place is about to become a LES staple :)

Fantastic spot for delicious Filipino food, great service, and unique and creative cocktails!! Though it's only been open a couple of months, they run like a well-oiled machine with staff ensuring a great experience for all guests. The food came out quick and exceeded expectations!! Keiana gave us the best recommendations and service. The vibe is perfect with great music and a cozy intimate feel. Lots of food is served family style making it a great place to gather and catch up with friends. Can't wait to come back!! 10/10.

What a wonderful dining experience at this wonderful restaurant serving delicious Phllippinian specialty dishes and signature cocktails with super cool vibes and friendly service.

Great service and great vibe. Beautiful restaurant with great food. Amazing happy hour. The service was so friendly. Will be back ASAP

The lumpia are so full of meat, and perfect for a large party! Loved the beef tapa. The servers are all so nice and tentative and the vibe is just like someone's home.

One of my favorite Filipino restaurants in NYC! I love the spicy bicol express, fried lumpia and the beef tapa! Also, the ube ice cream is sooooo good. I highly recommend this restaurant if you're looking for authentic Filipino cuisine

Thank goodness they opened the second location on rivington and we can get a table! The food is phenomenal the servers are so warm and friendly. Some of the best pork I've had in NYC!

Yummy dishes! I had pork BBQ, lumpia, pancit palabok,and gauva drink. The pork BBQ was savory and tender. The lumpia shanghai was crispy outside and moist inside. Yum! It was served with the sweet Chile sauce. The noodle dish, Pancit Palabok, cooked al dente, was topped with flavorful protein-filled sauce. I really liked the way they presented it. The decor reminded me of the familiar sights in the Philippines...the Sari-Sari store, and the capiz windows. Nice ambiance. The service was prompt and the waiter was very friendly. I highly recommend Kalye restaurant in Rivington Street, in the Lower East Side.
