Our Story: More Than Just Food
Kalye De Manila isn’t just a street food stall — it’s a community and a celebration of Filipino culture. The name “Kalye De Manila” literally means “Manila Street,” a nod to the bustling street food culture in the Philippines. Every dish we serve has a story, a tradition, and a passion behind it.
When we started, our goal was simple: to bring authentic, comforting Filipino flavors to Londoners, offering a genuine taste of home for Filipinos living abroad, and sharing our heritage with everyone who loves good food.
