I don’t know how this place doesn’t have higher reviews/ratings. So delicious and much better than the food I had at Cafe Kör. It’s a family run establishment where mostly locals frequent. I came 10 minutes before the kitchen closed (at 9 pm) and they still accommodated. Very flavorful and well seasoned chicken paprika. Must come

cozy place, nice food, friendly waiter. The goulash was very tasty. The soup consistency is creamy, meat was tender, potato and carrot is nice. overall the food tasted kinda homey, so it's good. there was english menu, so tourist can read easily. But unfortunately there are no photos in the menu, so i have to google every food that i read hehehe (it's fine tho i dont mind)

I came back here for the second time because the food is perfect! A small and cozy restaurant, warm and heartfelt service, authentic and affordable Hungarian food, and most importantly, absolutely delicious. This time we finished with Hungarian blintzes filled with sweet cheese and blueberries. Finger-licking good!

Without exaggeration, this is one of the best restaurants I’ve ever eaten at. Perfect traditional Hungarian food! Every bite was delightful. The goulash was a masterpiece, and the dish of cheese gnocchi with beef was nothing less than a treat for the palate. A must for all lovers of Hungarian cuisine. The price is super accessible and reasonable. Don’t miss it!
