Lumikha

It’s about the friends we make along the way— and and also the five courses we definitely didn’t share 🫣🥂

Five courses. Endless conversation. A menu meant to be savored (and subtly flexed on your story).

Seats for this weekend’s dinners are almost gone — reserve yours now before they’re all filled 😉

The new Lumikha logo created by our team (s/o to Kevin) is inspired by the blooming of Sampaguita that resembles devotion, purity and divine hope.

The becoming of Lumikha.

First days and last days at our downtown kitchen studio. We have reached the end of our lease and we decided to not renew. Not because we want to discontinue, quite the opposite. We barely scratched the surface of our objectives. But considering we only opened 3 days a week for only 1 seating of 10 a night, it was an incredibly productive year.

The guests that we had walked through our front door were nothing short of amazing. Really a head scratcher. We’ve had prominent food writers, world-class chefs, politicians but also, we grew friendships and expanded our team.

Thank you for filling up our seats every single night.

We are taking a short break but will open our reservations back on November. We cannot wait to share what we have cooking up for Lumikha 2.0.

Stay tuned. Bigger things are yet to come.

At , we blend modern gastronomical techniques with the rich traditions of , culture, and history. But storytelling goes beyond the plate—we source authentic ingredients from suppliers who share our values, ensuring every dish is deeply rooted in heritage.

One of our partners, , works directly with local asinderos (salt makers), treating them as true partners. Through this collaboration, they help sustain artisanal salt-making communities while preserving a centuries-old craft.

Pictured here is (and his new friend, Rob! 🤣), also known as the “Dinosaur Egg”—a rare, hand-crafted salt with a distinct smoky undertone. Every ingredient we use carries a story, and at Lumikha, we invite you to experience it through our carefully curated dishes.
