The short answer
True Food: what visitors should know first
Worth a visit if the family wants familiar Indian food on Boracay. It is not a pure vegetarian kitchen, so vegetarians should ask which dishes are meatless and how they are cooked. Confirm it is open and where it now sits before walking over.

Why it matters
Why True Food is worth your time
Indian food is scarce on Boracay, which is mostly Filipino, seafood and international fare. For travellers from India, particularly older family members who miss dal, roti and familiar spicing, even one dependable Indian kitchen makes planning the week easier.
The caveat is honesty about what we know. The only page we opened that names this restaurant is a community travel guide, and it says what it serves and the neighbourhood but nothing about vegetarian practice. Use it as a lead to check, not a guarantee, and compare it with the other Indian listings in this guide before deciding.

How to experience it
Wikivoyage lists True Food among the pricier eating places at Station 2 on White Beach, describing it as Indian, with tandoori chicken noted and mains starting from about 250 pesos. Treat prices as a rough signal only, since the page is community-edited and can lag behind the menu.
If you eat vegetarian, say so when you sit down. The restaurant is described as Indian but a tandoori chicken dish is named on the page, so the kitchen handles meat; ask whether vegetable dishes share oil or grills with meat if that matters to your family. Jain and no-onion-no-garlic requests are not something we found any evidence for, so do not assume them.
We could not open the restaurant's own site, so confirm the location, opening hours and current menu with your hotel or by message before you plan a meal around it. Mixed groups, where some want Indian comfort food and others a beach-front dinner, are the sensible use of a place like this.
Plan with confidence
