What is the story behind your business' name?

Kalye—Tagalog for “street”—is a proudly Filipino, queer-owned restaurant located in Manhattan’s vibrant Lower East Side. Founded by Rob Mallari-D’Auria, Kalye was born from a deep desire to share the bold flavors and rich cultural traditions of the Philippines with New York City. Together with his husband Henry, Rob built Kalye as both a culinary destination and a welcoming space for community and creativity. Originally known for its fast-casual charm and cult-favorite Pork Ube Sliders, Kalye has grown into a flagship venue that continues to honor Filipino flavors through a menu inspired by Rob’s family recipes—playful, soulful, and unapologetically Filipino. More than just a restaurant, Kalye serves as a vessel for artistic and cultural expression. It champions emerging talent—especially Filipino creatives abroad—through rotating art installations, intimate performances, and community-led events. From singers to visual artists to drag performers, Kalye provides a platform for voices making their mark far from home. At its heart, Kalye is a love letter to Filipino food, queer joy, and creative resilience.
