Kuya Lord

Led by James Beard Award-winning chef Lord Maynard Llera, this elevated fast-casual restaurant in Melrose Hill brings a focused take on regional Filipino cooking. The kitchen scales its Southern Tagalog dishes into everything from single lechon bowls paired with garlic rice, salad, and vinegar dipping sauce to generous family-style Kuya trays. Inside, the intimate, neighborhood-driven space keeps the energy lively and personal.
