The Hot Palayok Restaurant falls under the umbrella of Hospitality Catering LLC, established in 1994, in Abu Dhabi UAE. The company was founded by 3 hospitality professionals, who wanted to bring something unique into this business domain. With hard work, sacrifice, and dedication, the company witnessed a steady growth building its reputation among clients who knew to appreciate great food.

We started working on our first Filipino restaurant project in 2013 with a vision to make a noteworthy restaurant. Our goal was to establish a well-known brand which offer cuisines unique from that of its competitors. With the huge success Hot Palayok has now come to the state of opening many more branches. The second branch is all set to open in Dubai, shortly. Apart from this, 5 more branches will be open in other emirates of UAE by 2017.

You will find here the finest and more representative dishes from the Filipino and Pan-Asian cuisine. The live musical treat and karaoke experience will take your dining to a completely new level.
