“ The best restaurant. My go to for cravings and even large orders for parties. Always great food and even better service. Genuinely good people run this place. Happy to be part of the Karenderya family. ”
“ Family owned, delicious food. Great Filipino food, wish the menu was a little more diverse, would love to see some tinola or other off the beaten path dishes on there but the quality of what is there is definitely worth the price. Owners clearly care about providing good food and they deliver, maraming salamat ”
“ Without a doubt this is my favorite restaurant since moving to New York. I eaten at Karenderya a month ago and my taste buds went wild then soon as I left I was instantly craving their food. Finally made it back with my visiting parents who were craving the same thing! My parents ordered Daing na Bangus with an extra milkfish because it is that delicious to them! I enjoyed the tocino last visit so I decided to be adventurous try other items lo and behold the Adobo Pork Belly was exquisite. The pork belly was marinated well filled with flavor from the first bite and it simply melted in my mouth. Let’s say we all cleaned our plates. The atmosphere is a homey feeling serving us homemade food made with love, welcoming hospitality and food served in a timely manner. We will be back again hopefully to become a regular! ”
“ If you’re looking for a posh style and flavor of Philippine food; this is your perfect choice. Staff is helpful and friendly to everyone. Food is overwhelmingly delicious with no shortcuts. Nyack is lucky to have this jewel. ”
“ Food is authentic, The owner is a very nice guy. Had a good talk., ordered bunch of Filipino dishes its great. Feels like home! Definitely will be back. ”
“ We visited this lovely little restaurant on a Sunday in September 2024 and we loved the food. We started off with a Lumpiang Shanghai, which are little mini spring rolls. We had the Adobo Pork Belly and the Shrimp Coconut Adobo. Both were well portioned and delicious and a lot filling than I expected. The pork belly was juicy, tender, and well seasoned. The Shrimp Coconut Adobo had 8 shrimps which was a welcomed surprised. The coconut sauce was heavenly and the garlic rice was unbeatable. We followed it up with the Flan with cashew brittle which was also excellent. The decor was reminiscent of south east Asia and the selection of 80’s hits that played at a comfortable volume made me feel like I very much was in SE Asia. The woman who looked to be the owner of the place was very friendly and the wait staff was attentive if not a little shy. We would definitely come here again. Nice gem on Main Street Nyack. ”
“ I remember coming here when they first opened and their food, quality, and service have never wavered. If anything, they’ve gotten better. I’ve had almost everything on their menu at this point and look forward to new additions and specials. They do have liquor (no byob) in case you were wondering. Everyone I’ve brought here has become a repeat customer. I’ve even had one of my parties catered by Karenderya! ”
“ I have ate here twice now and each time was excellent. The first time we grabbed our order to go and the second time we dined in. The spot is really special with it's cozy and inviting atmosphere (beautiful wooden tables with mismatched wooden chairs and beautiful glass water bottles if you order water for your table). It's a rather small restuarant but don't let that fool you, the flavors are all umami! This place always seems to be fairly busy so please practice patience, as they are a smaller business. They are a very kind, hard working family and provided great service with fantastic recommendations. We enjoyed several items off the menu including: Lumpiang Shanghai (these mini egg rolls are divine and the spicy banana ketchup was amazing) , Mini Pork Empanadas (the empanadas melt in your mouth and the sweet chili dipping sauce was phenomenal), Fried Crispy Chicken (we got this with the garlic rice bowl and it was some of the best fried chicken and garlic rice I have ever tasted), and the Pansit Bihon (we got the shrimp pansit and it was so tasty). For dessert: Turon (3 spring rolls with fried plantains and jackfruit filling, think mini fruit pies-so good!) and Cassava Cake (almost reminiscent of flan. Creamy, custardy, and very delicious!) ”
