Those who often get late night food cravings or work during the graveyard shift know how hard it is to find a place to eat at odd hours when they get off from work.

Thankfully, there are a few restaurants around the metro that have dedicated themselves to staying open 24-hours a day, 7 days a week. For those who live and work north of the metro, here are a few 24-hour restaurants in Quezon City you can head to ease your hunger pangs.

Mister Kabab

Need a shawarma fix at an ungodly hour? Mister Kabab has multiple branches around Metro Manila, but their branch along West Avenue in Quezon City is the only one that remains open 24/7.

This Middle Eastern and Mediterranean restaurant is well-known for their budget-friendly kebabs, shawarma wraps, falafel, yogurt shake, ox brains, and more. For appetizers, try their spinach with egg, zucchini with yoghurt, or olivieh (Persian-style potato salad). If you’re feeling extra hungry, order the Kabab Platter, which comes with two sticks each of chicken, beef, and lamb.
