    Amazing, authentic Filipino comfort food, lovely drinks, and a great atmosphere! Definitely worth the journey, even if we don't live in Shepton Mallet. A must-go for anyone who wants to try Filipino food, with some veggie and vegan alternatives. They've got a new summer menu as well, so lovely, fresh options! We had the Aurora's OG lumpia, the Humba, and the Chicken Inasal. Plus some lovely sides: the grilled corn and the spicy pineapple salad. They're also very good with allergies and accommodating for any needs. They have a lovely selection of cocktails with Filipino liquors and mocktails as well. Must book though, as we found out (when we got there, as we booked in advance) that they were fully booked for the evening. Side note, they do offer a pick-up service as well, but you need to book in a slot, as they have a small-ish kitchen and fit the take-away options around their seatings. Definitely check it out! Vegetarian options: They have a good mix of veggie and non-veggie dishes. We took a few veggie and vegan friends to have their food when they were a pop-up in a previous location. Their Aurora's OG lumpia (fried Filipino spring rolls) is one of our favourite dishes that they have all year round.
