Since we’ve been so busy with work and taking care of our strays, we never really had the chance to write a proper review. But this time, it’s truly well deserved.
One of our all-time favorite foods is now here in Dubai at Deira City Centre – Food Central, and we honestly couldn’t be happier. I still remember exactly how it tasted back home… and trust me, it’s the same. Absolutely amazing.
As someone who’s currently on a very strict diet, I only planned to taste a little. I ordered the wings, and to my surprise, the marination went all the way to the bone. That’s when you know it’s done right. The beef soup? It instantly took me back to my hometown I literally finished the whole bowl.
Customer service was also excellent, thank you to George and Alex for being so accommodating.
We also know the owner is very popular in our home country and my parents have always admired him, so congratulations on bringing this business to Dubai! That said, we hope the focus continues to be on the food itself. There’s so much to be proud of because everything was done the right way.
We’ll definitely be back.

JT’s Manukan is located inside the food central, and it’s one of my go-to spots whenever we’re at Deira City Center. I really love their chicken inasal, it comes with a drink and soup, which already makes the meal feel complete and satisfying. I usually order the paa (thigh) part, but I’ve noticed that the pecho (breast) is actually more sulit and surprisingly not dry.
You can choose between plain rice and garlic rice, and I personally prefer the garlic rice because it adds more flavor to the meal. I also like ordering the chicken liver, it’s tasty enough to be a main dish on its own.
I’ve been here many times, and every visit has been consistently good. Overall, the food is flavorful, filling, and definitely worth coming back for.

The team was friendly and accomadating. They great you with warm smile. The food was very authentic ilonggo flavor. Five star for the atay inasal. Shout out to gerald, edmund and romeo. Thank you for the service!

We ordered inasal, cansi and isol. Worth to try. I expect the cansi would be definitely sour, as to my surprise it’s not that – asim kilig. The pecho part has a generous size and the meat is tender and juicy but lacks smokey after taste.
It was a Sunday night when we visit and no long queues. It was fast and waiting time only takes 20mins.
Maybe will try again, and maybe not.

Had a great dining experience at TJ Manukan in Deira City Centre. The food was delicious, especially the chicken—very flavorful, juicy, and well-cooked. Portions were generous and everything tasted fresh.
What really stood out was the excellent service. Big thanks to Edmon, Joel, Jesson, and Gerald for being very attentive, friendly, and accommodating. They made us feel welcome and taken care of throughout our meal.
Highly recommended for anyone craving good Filipino food with great service. Will definitely come back!

I finally got to try JT’s Manukan in Dubai! I waited for the opening hype to die down to avoid the long queues. I ordered the Pecho Inasal, Corazon, and Isol.
The Pecho Inasal (breast and wings) was impressively soft and juicy, which is hard to achieve with white meat. However, the flavor felt a bit lacking. I’m not sure if the marinade is naturally bland or if it just didn’t soak through. The real star, though, was the Corazon (chicken heart)! It was the most flavorful of the three and much better than I expected.
One major disappointment was the rice quality. Since it’s a Filipino chain and the rice isn’t “unlimited,” I expected premium, fragrant rice. I’d highly recommend the management consider a better rice brand to match the quality of the meats.
Must try: Corazon!

Living in UAE is good but finding filipino restaurant like this is more than good. The staff remind me the filipino culture and the food itself. Actually, this is my 5th time now and will come here again nextime of course. See you again. Stay safe we filipinos . Good job !

My bestie and I tried JT’s Manukan Grille at DCC Food Central for the first time.
We ordered leg-and-thigh chicken with garlic rice. I expected garlic fried rice, but it turned out to be steamed rice topped with garlic crisps and drizzled with chicken oil. The garlic crisps were nice, but I wish they skipped the oil, I prefer adding it myself.
The grilled chicken was juicy, but sadly bland. Parang kulang sa marinade.. the flavor didn’t go all the way in. I honestly expected more because of the social media hype, so medyo disappointed. A little ginger, lemongrass, sugar (like soda), and lots of pepper would level it up.
As a Pinoy, I’d love to recommend this to other nationalities, but with all the flavorful options here in the UAE (tandoori, charcoal chicken, roasted chicken, etc.), JT’s needs to step up its marinade game. I still finished my meal because gutom is real and 30+ AED is not to be wasted.
Hoping they improve, maybe I’ll try again, but not anytime soon..

I’ve eaten this before during a JT’s Manukan Boracay brunch in the Philippines, and now I tried it here in Dubai—same great taste! I’m very satisfied. It brings back the same delicious flavor and experience I remember. Highly recommended! the staff also very good and accomodating, amazing experience at JT’s Manukan with my cousins,We really enjoyed our meals!
