When it comes to comfort food, you can’t beat everyone’s Pinoy favorites like sisig, sinigang, and pancit. However, Manam capitalized on the public’s love for hearty flavors reminiscent of home cooking and presented them with their own flavorful twists to create their own recipe for success. Manam first started as the restaurant NamNam in 2013 under the Moment Group, a restaurant group famous for other successful restaurants such as 8Cuts, Ooma, and Shawa Wama.
The first branch opened in Greenbelt 2 to great success because of its affordable, delicious takes on Filipino food good for sharing with friends and family. The second branch, now under the new name “Manam” opened in Ayala Fairview, along with an outlet in SM Mall of Asia.
The airy new look of its restaurants was coupled with an all local-inspired bill of fare: “Classics”, for those who want traditional takes on Filipino food, and “Twists” for more adventurous palates willing to try new flavors in well-known dishes. Their food, warm service, and attention to detail made them firm favorites with foodies, especially those who wanted to show more love for local dishes.
Manam quickly opened more branches as demand couldn’t keep up with their existing restaurants’ space. The restaurant now has 17 branches in Metro Manila, but it has also made several of its best-sellers available as ready-to-cook items in groceries.
Manam has also collaborated with 7-11 to offer express, heat-and-eat versions of its sisig and beef kare-kare, which have earned high praise despite their low prices. With their willingness to adapt with a market that is becoming more geared towards home delivery, Manam shows no signs of slowing down!
Manam Menu
Manam’s many menu offerings can be dizzying for newbies, but one thing’s for sure: you must order the House Crispy Sisig in their Classics menu. Adding a creamy and crunchy twist to the Kapampangan favorite, this dish has won the hearts of many foodies.

If you feel like trying something different, two popular dishes on the Twists menu are the Sinigang na Beef Short Rib & Watermelon and the Crispy Pancit Palabok. The watermelon adds an unusual sweet note that goes well with the sourness of the sinigang soup and the savoriness of short rib, making it an instant favorite.
The Crispy Pancit Palabok is a heaping tower of crispy pancit noodles topped with shrimp, egg, and chicharon – pour on that orange sauce and watch it gently fall onto the plate!
