We came here at the beginning of our holiday when we were looking for somewhere to grab dinner, and liked it so much we decided to come back at the end. The goulash was great, and the ice tea is home made and definitely worth a look. We also really liked the potato chips - kind of a mix between crisps and fries.

I suggest this place a lot. It’s nice, with a good atmosphere and high-quality food, and the prices are fair. The staff are smiling. And their breakfast is even better than the main food.

Walking distance from our hotel, this cozy little spot is tucked away on a cute corner and feels like a hidden gem. We ordered the red lentil coconut soup and it was so good. Warm curry spice with a unique crunch from the apple chips that totally worked. The cheeseburger was also solid. Juicy beef with real flavor. We asked about a Baileys hot chocolate even though it was not on the menu, and the waitress in the cutest dress went out of her way to make one for us. She loved the idea, so hopefully they add it to the menu because it was silky, rich, and seriously delicious. The vibe was cozy but lively, service was super chill, and the place was packed. Cute corner spot, great food, easy energy. Would definitely recommend.

It's another time that I'm visiting Csiga. Lovely place with a perfect location and cozy vibe. G.O.A.T goulash soup, orange-lemon soup, crazy delicious. Only service is little off, but it creates such a nice (interesting, nonchalant, chilled out) and authentic vibe of Csiga. Definitely coming back!

I visited this cafe unexpectedly. As soon as I entered the store, I found that the furnishings and lighting inside were very attractive. It was quite suitable to stay for an afternoon. It was a pity that there were too many customers coming later, so I was embarrassed to continue sitting. The service staff was very friendly, the food was served quickly and above standard, I will visit again.
