    I loved the atmosphere anf the service was very good. Make sure you make a reservation. Quite popular place. The food was mixed. The starters were amazing but the mixed meat platter for two was poor, very dry meatballs and the same for the chicken. Quite expensive considering the quality but the atmosphere was great. I d prefer it for drinks and starters

    My family and I had the pleasure of dining at Mazel Tov during our vacation in Budapest, we are so glad we decided to dine here, it was a memorable experience. The ambiance of this restaurant is amazing!!!!. As you step inside, you're instantly transported to what feels like a beautiful garden. The abundance of plants and greenery creates a charming and relaxing atmosphere that's hard to beat. The service was top-notch. The waiter was friendly, making you feel welcome from the moment you arrive. We didn’t have reservations, but we were seated right away. Now, let's talk about the food. It's nothing short of amazing. The menu offers a diverse range of options, and every dish we tried was a burst of delicious flavors. Mazel Tov is a hidden gem that combines a stunning ambiance, warm and welcoming service, and mouthwatering cuisine. It's a must-visit when visiting Budapest you won’t leave disappointed.

    One of my top dining spots when I go to Budapest. Both the setting and the service are outstanding. Gabriel, who served as our host, was incredibly kind and accommodating. He also made some excellent food recommendations. Even though we were a group of 9, our drinks and food were still delivered quite quickly. Due to its popularity, we had to make our reservations two months in advance, but it was completely worth it. They had everything set up for our dinner, which was a birthday celebration. They brought a bottle of champagne and some cake at the end.

    Man this was a great experience!! Before my trip to Budapest I researched restaurants and this came near the top and let me tell you it was great!!! The food was great, the atmosphere was super cool, beer was delish and so was the seasonal pumpkin spice cake. But the biggest was my waiter. He went above and beyond explaining what were top sellers as well as the chicken dish that was unique to them. Definitely pay this place a visit!!

    Make a reservation! Specifically during the weekends or you'll stay in line quite some time. This is a posh place. That being said, this is a cool place to have drinks with friends, they have a huge assortment of cocktails. But in my opinion this is not a place to have dinner but to have snacks with your drinks because portions are small and food is nothing special. Overall I enjoy visiting Mazel Tov.

    Great place to eat in Budapest with very good vibes and live music. If you can make a reservation that would be great, if not, you can wait from 15 minutes until 1 hour, luckily we only waited 20 minutes The dood is delicious. We ordered some sandwiches, hummus bowl and desserts. I loved the restaurant. I had seen photos, but I didn't expect it to be so pretty when I arrived, it is beautiful. I was also surprised by the live music. The staff was very friendly. Thank you very much for the service!! I totally recommend this place and I would definitely come back next time I’m in Budapest.

    Loved it. There is a waiting line for tables so it might be a good idea to have a reservation. The food is good and so are the drinks. Service is top notch. We were 8 of us without reservation and at first they couldn't get us a table for all of us but the manager got it done! Highly recommend.

    We had the pleasure of dining at Mazel Tov tonight and the meal was nothing short of fantastic. We were hosted by Uri who went out of his way to explain some of the menu items to us and made our experience all the better with his ease of conversation and knowledge of the menu. With that said the food truly does speak for itself and my wife and I left not only with a full stomach and a smile on our face but also with a new cook book to add to our ever growing collection. Pictures are below but they cannot do the flavors the justice they deserve absolutely worth 5 stars.

    We stopped by late for some desert and cocktails on a Sunday night. Short wait in line (15-20 minutes?). excellent cocktails, most of them on the sweet side, but great. The cheesecake was really good!

    Always very busy, even tough the place is huge. Reservations are recommended here. We have tried the zataar sticks, Yemen Chicken, Parsley Beef Kebab, and Jerusalem cheesecake for dessert. Everything was delicious and the portions are very satisfying, as you can see from the photos.

    The atmosphere and interior are magical. The service was by far the best we had in Budapest, friendly, fast efficient and enthusiastic. The food was good but not outstanding in my opinion. We had the hummus bowl, the asparagus chefs special (which was the most interesting) and the aubergine salad. I would return for the service, atmosphere and try different dishes.

    Loved Mazel To! I recommend reservations, otherwise you'll likely have to wait a bit for a table. Even on a weekday night around 9, there was a bit of a wait. The restaurant is beautiful, with lots of greenery and string lights to set the vibe. On the night I was there, the live music was INCREDIBLE. I'd follow that band anywhere they were playing. Our server was Edina, and she was great - friendly and helpful. Food and cocktails were tasty - my favourites were the small share plates like the cauliflower and hummus.

  • 5/5 Chloe H. 1 year ago on Google
    This is a must for dining in Budapest. We were recommended by a friend and wow did it not disappoint. Whilst we did a walk in (got the last table) I recommend making a reservation. We tried and the next slot was over a week and a half away. Our dinner cost about £90 for two which consisted of 2 starters, 2 mains, 4 cocktails, water, jug of beer and two jägers. The food was delicious, the atmosphere amazing and our waitress was so accommodating. We will be back next time we are in Budapest.

    This is a lovely gem in the old Jewish quarter behind the synagogue. Don't be fooled the looks from the outside. It's absolutely a wonderful place inside. Remember to book you table online. We had a great lunch with a nice Hungarian white wine suggested by the waitress. This was our best meal in Hungary. So full of taste and freshness.

    One of the best meals and dining experiences I’ve ever had in my life, hands down. From the live band, to the service, to the wine, and the flavor of the food. I still can’t believe how good the food was. This is a can’t miss if you are in town. Convivial atmosphere, just had an amazing time here.

  • 5/5 Ovidiu R. 4 years ago on Google
    Excellent Mediterranean food. Great ambiance. Even if the queue is big, it’s worth the wait since the staff is moving fast. The Jerusalem cheesecake is a must have for desert. It was one of the best cheesecakes I’ve ever eaten.

    I found random this place, when I go inside in the reception desk the girl friendly first I speak English, after I turn hungarian language really grumpy 😅 (maybe she belive I don't want go inside serious). After we go inside and give me small table. The cute, pretty waitress friendly help me everything. The design is very nice and cool, friendly place. The price is normal to European wallet.

    Wow. Book your table now! (Also, if you book your table, skip the queue outside!) but seriously.. get booked! Staff are great, atmosphere is fantastic and the food is phenomenal! I had been recommended this place back in 2020 when I first visited Budapest - alas I ran out of time and didn’t get to visit. I made sure of it this time and wasn’t disappointed at all. I’ll now also wax lyrical about the quality of this establishment!

    The food is super tasty and well seasoned! Be prepared to make a table reservation or you will end up like me waiting in line for a table for around 30minutes! 😅 But was so worthy! The place is beautiful and the live music is a great touch. Our waiter was super nice and recommended the Jerusalem cheesecake for us to try and oh boy what a lovely surprise it was, absolutely delicious!

    Wow. This place is amazing. From decor to food everything is beyond cool. Should be noted its north African cuisine I guess with an Israeli twist? Not at the cheaper end of budapest food and service charge added without warning but these are little things to worry about, the food is excellent. Make sure you book or you will queue.

    Food - delicious. Decorations - beautiful. Service - quick. This was a very pleasant experience we had with my girlfriend. We highly recommend this, you will not regret dining out here. Booking a table in advance is a good idea, but we did not and waited only a few minutes to be seated.

    First of all Mazel Tov has an exceptional sitting place. Beautiful, airy, with nice natural shade! Food is amazing by presence, smell and taste. Everything was really tasty! They have nice menu, clearly labeled meaty, vegeterian, lactose free and gluten free options. Waiters are nice and friendly and toilets are clean and tidy! I recommend visiting this place to everyone!

  • 5/5 Noel C. 4 years ago on Google

  • 4/5 Marie C. 3 years ago on Google
    Really nice place, full of plants. Staff is kind, because we were late to our reservation. But they serve us perfectly. Food is tasty but not incredible. Is it a good place for a romantic diner. There was musician during half an our.

    The place is nice, they serve good food. I had one of the best falafels here. Prices are a bit high, its touristic area, but reasonable. Have a good variety of drinks. Also they offer the live music on Fridays and Saturdays. Nice atmosphere inside. Place is recommended

  • 4/5 Catherine S. 3 years ago on Google
    The interior creates the celebratory mood but I generally prefer food from Hummus Bars that belong to the same owner as Mazel Tov. Yet if you need the restaurant settings as opposed to those of a simple eatery MT is the place to go

  • 5/5 Maja V. 3 years ago on Google
    Best spot in Budapest. Great food, great Negroni and good selection of wines. They do a great job. Our waiter was amazing and thanks to him we enjoyed our evening. We will definitely come back when we will be back in Budapest ❤️ Thank you, we left your restaurant really happy !

  • 3/5 Jitka �. 3 years ago on Google
    Highly recommended. So we had big expectations. Well it wasn't bad, but it wasn't breathtaking either. The food was average, drinks were great. Waiters were nice but kind of slow, we were waiting 15 minutes to pay while they were hanging out around the bar and chatting. We enjoyed our meal, but there are definitely better options in Budapest.

    I have to say that the service there is beyond what i expected or ever experienced in budapest they really do care about the costumers and the quality of the food is incredible not to mention the drinks they have and live music and the waiters were extremely nice especially the manager he did care how we felt and made sure that we really had a memorable experience with everything inside. I highly recommend this place as the matter of the fact i cannot recommend it enough.

  • 3/5 Avital G. 3 years ago on Google
    Dissapointed. Honestly, I had heard such great things so it was especially upsetting. Although the atmosphere itself was amazing, the food was a very sad under representation of Israeli cuisine. I grew up in Jerusalem, so I'm confident that that pita should not be dry. My boyfriend says the Labane tasted like the sour cheap stuff you get in the army. The meat platter was overcooked, under-seasoned and lacking in the authentic charcoal flavor it should have. Common guys...

  • 1/5 Bar B. 3 years ago on Google
    Covid19 protection and the related hygiene concept are not being executed consistently. We visited the restaurant twice in the last weeks because we like the food and the friendly waiters. All was fine last time but today, the waiters and the manager did not cover the nose and mouth with masks and tables were not cleaned after guests left. What really upset us was that 4 people went to our seating area, stood around and started smoking less than 1 meter away from us - within the restaurant. When we complained with the manager he smiled, walked away and nothing happened.

  • 2/5 Israel O. 3 years ago on Google
    It’s a beautiful place but do not expect too much professionalism. I came alone and despite there was not too much people and there were many tables available, the waitress sat me down right next to the toiled (??). I ordered a coffee and the waiter looked at me like if I was a poor homeless for not ordering food (note it was 11am). Atmosphere is great but do not expect too much from te service. Cannot day anything about food as I decided to not try anything else.

    (Translated by Google) The food is very delicious, but unfortunately greatly overpriced, although I expected that The waitress didn’t understand her job and didn’t even know the drink list, which wouldn’t have been a problem if she had told and chosen for herself, but she lied back and forth about the tastes of the different drinks and we continued the dinner in frustration. (Original) Nagyon finomak az ételek, de sajnos erősen túlárazott, bár erre számítottam A felszolgáló nem értett a munkájához és még az itallapot sem ismerte, ami nem lett volna probléma, ha elmondja és választunk magunknak, de össze-vissza hazudozott a különböző italok ízvilágáról és csalódottan folytattuk a vacsorát

    I came to Mazel Tov on a Thursday at 19:30. The place was found for me less than in 2 minutes. The service was perfeсt. The waiter politely explained me the details which were not clear for me from the menu. My chicken was done in 20 minutes and, oh god, the meal was huge. As a suggestion - it would be really nice if you add to the menu mass of a meal in grams and some photos.

    Our visit there was a joke, waiters were mean, clearly didn't give a sh*t about us. They were complaining about us trying to split the bill. Inside was hot and stuffy, but they didn't even bother to turn on air conditioning. My worst expirience in Budapest so far. Don't recommend!

    (Translated by Google) Impeccable welcome. The whole team speaks very good English. The decor and ambiance are amazing. The restaurant specializes in Greek and Middle Eastern dishes. There was lipstick on the glass which had gone badly in the wash. The waiter found a solution and offered me a second drink. Very friendly and professional. The dishes have excellent value for money. The shaksuka + merguez + eggplant is to die for! It is accompanied by a pita bread. The assortment plate with kebab meat is original! The different sauces should be tasted at the same time. The desserts are divine. The lemon cake with meringue is not a lemon meringue but a lemon pie which is similar to a light lemon custard. This dessert is served with a pastry meringue. Favorite for the Chef's dessert: the pumpkin seed cake with blueberry yogurt. Cake made with several layers, tasty in the mouth and not too sweet. Perfect balance! Ps: the tip is 12.5% ​​included in the bill (August 2020) (Original) Accueil impeccable. Toute l'équipe parle très bien anglais. Le décor et l'ambiance sont incroyables. Le restaurant est spécialisé dans les plats grecs et du Moyen-Orient. Il y avait du rouge à lèvres sur le verre qui était mal parti au lavage. Le serveur a su trouvé une solution et m'a offert une seconde boisson. Très aimable et professionnel. Les plats ont un excellent qualité/prix. Le shaksuka + merguez + aubergine est à tomber! Il est accompagné d'un pain pita. L'assiette d'assortiments avec viande kebab est original! Les différentes sauces doivent être goûtées en même temps. Les desserts sont divins. Le lemon cake avec la meringue n'est pas une citron meringuée mais un lemon pie qui s'apparente à un flan léger au citron. Ce dessert est servi avec une meringue pâtissière. Coup de coeur pour le dessert du Chef: le pumpkin seed cake avec le yaourt à la myrtille. Gâteau constitué avec plusieurs couches, goûteux en bouche et pas trop sucré. Parfait équilibre ! Ps: le pourboire s'élève à 12,5% inclus dans l'addition (août 2020)

    One of the best restaurants in Budapest / Isreali cuisine I have tried. From the menu to the smallest details of the interior decoration, everything is very inspired. I recommend it 100%, but it is mandatory to have a reservation if you want to enjoy it in the evening. Bravo to the live jazz band. It's a shame that the waiters we had was so unfriendly, this would have been a 5 star for sure!

  • 5/5 Vinh V. 2 years ago on Google
    Never tried Israeli food before but i do have to say i am mighty impressed. I ordered a marinated salmon with sweet potato puree and it was simply cooked to perfection. The homemade iced tea was also unexpectedly delightful. The overall vibe of the place is very comfortable. The staff is incredibly friendly and the music choice is insanely good. Do note that the food and drinks here can be quite pricey so expect to pay a lot.

    Spent our last evening in Budapest here, probably the best decision of our trip - The atmosphere was just awesome (I'm a bit curious which purpose the building served in the first place), the staff extremely friendly and the drinks were also great! Also, live music was offered. Sadly, we weren’t able to order something to eat as weren’t hungry enough, but the food looked great!

    The interior is beautiful. I really enjoyed it. I liked that there is also music, which cannot be said for a lot of restaurants in Budapest. The food might have been a little better, and the portions bigger, but that can't spoil the great ambiance of the restaurant.

  • 3/5 Jakub K. 2 years ago on Google
    Food is exceptional but portions were on the small side and live music was a great addition to the food. Unfortunately the service is awful. We were there for an hour and half and we've spent most of the time waiting to be serviced. By the end of the dinner we asked for the bill 3 times and still had to wait for 25 minutes. Recommend for food and atmosphere but staff was simply awful, ignoring us most of the time.

  • 4/5 Mirko 2 years ago on Google
    Really beautiful place ! The interiors are simply amazing, the concept is great. The food was good but not the one you are expecting from such an amazing place. Looking at the long drink menu (we don’t drink so cannot judge it) looks like more a bar where you can order some good tapas.

Be sure to make a reservation if you want to eat here, otherwise you'll have to wait around 15-20 minutes to be seated, but sometimes even more. We had one and were seated quickly, luckily. I was satisfied with the food, but there were also some things bothering me. Waiters are very slow, and the service is slow as well, we had to wait around 50 minutes to get our food. The waiter mixed up our order, my brother asked for the Shawarma sandwich, but the waiter brought the Shawarma grill meal. Prices are quite expensive as well, a 12% service fee is added to your bill too. All in all, once it's worth visiting, but I think you can find better places like this at a better price range in Budapest.

    My first eatout in Budapest. Couldn't have expected a better place. Everything comes together at Mazel Tov. Taste, service, ambience, choice of dishes etc. And it's dirt cheap!! Highly recommended.

    Everything we choose to eat was delicious, my plate was warm and I prefer my food very hot, but it was so good that I was able to eat it fast. Service was very good, friendly and attentive, only a bit slow. The environment was great, with acoustic music on and the lighting in the restaurant was a at very nice level -not dark nor too bright- and the rustic decor and architecture is so unique that makes it for a very relaxing dinner. We were planning to go to a different restaurant, but my hubby suggested me this one and we gave it a try and I was glad we were it disappointed!

    A very nice location and design. Wow. The food was delicious, the staff nice and the location perfect. We had to wait 10 minutes to have a table inside, if you see a queue, don't leave, wait a few minutes, they are moving fast. You should definitely go if you are visiting Budapest. I wholeheartedly recommend it.

    This place is super popular among tourists, be prepared to wait a little for lunch or better book in advance. By sitting outside you will have a better experience with lamps and so on. The place was recommended during a walking tour but I did not find it so cool. My chicken was slightly burnt. Plus I would expect more interesting menu considering the name and location of the restaurant. Hummus plate is big enough to be a separate meal not only for starters with warm pita:)

    This is a great choice for food in the ruins area of the city. It Carrie’s much of the ambience of the neighborhood with a significant upmarket touch, and offers a lovely covered courtyard space with ample greenery. The staff is very friendly and speedy and happy to make suggestions customers. For sure I was very happy with the ones I got. The food was really really good, with very good size portions and super tasty (found it to be well seasoned, well cooked and looking great altogether). It was recommended by a friend who’d travelled to the city earlier in the year and I was not disappointed. Overall great value for money.

  • 5/5 Jess G. 1 year ago on Google
    Loved this place! Some of the tastiest Israeli/Middle Eastern food I’ve ever had. You definitely need to make a reservation as we arrived on Saturday and I couldn’t get a table until the day we left on Tuesday at lunchtime. But it was well worth it.

  • 4/5 Nicholas H. 1 year ago on Google
    First big notes, excellent ambience and decor. Really a beautiful interior with an airy feel and some live music some evenings. The ingredients were fresh and the offerings unique and clever and tasted carefully made. I thought it was a refreshing change to the typical Eastern European cuisine. I usually complain about the sodium content being too high but here was the rare instance I thought it could use more; not a significant complaint at all… The real complaint I have and I think it reasonable was the alcoholic cocktails (we ordered 4) were nearly without alcohol. I suppose not a serious issue but when you pay a certain amount for a mixed drink and mostly receive fruit juices and soda, it feels dishonest. I think this is a quality restaurant that keeps an eye on everything coming in and out of their establishment. It can’t be a mistake, they are intentionally serving low alcohol and seemingly for profit.

    Dined here Sunday evening and was greeted by a very friendly face. Even though they were very busy, they found us a table in the back room. We were looked after by Raul, who couldn’t have been more attentive and helpful. A very friendly and pleasant fella. The food was first class, lovely presentation; vibrant and fresh and just drew you in. The flavours were unbelievable, especially the pitta breads and the Mazel Tov beetroot salad. Overall, an amazing experience from a team of proper professionals. Thank you.

  • 5/5 Charlotte W. 1 year ago on Google
    A really beautiful place to eat, really quick service, English speaking waitress and menu. Drinks tasted great too! Bit more expensive than other places we’ve been to but we were more than happy to pay as it was so lovely! Live music was starting just as we left but before that good music was played through speakers. Blankets are provided if it gets chilly too!

  • 5/5 Anusha C. 1 year ago on Google
    The trip to Budapest is not complete without visiting the ruin bars for which it's famous. This restaurant is one of the best ruined places not to be deceived by the outside look. The aesthetic of the restaurant is so brilliant and catchy with live music going. Loved their Mocktail & Cocktail. The hummus we ordered was perfect and delicious with flat bread. We had slow cooked Lamb, Fish with Cauliflower ricotta for main course. The cook on the lamb was spectacular and overall the food was very TASTY. We recommend reserving your table online to avoid long waiting queues especially on weekends.

  • 5/5 sofia g. 9 months ago on Google
    Definitely one of my star places where I will come back for sure. I will recommend it to all my friends traveling to this wonderful city. The food is 10 points, the staff is super friendly and international ( I appreciate this profoundly in a city where is difficult to find this type of service) and the atmosphere is top. No words just that I am really happy that I ve met this place. It has lots of gastronomic offer from the Mediterranean / Jewish food, alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks and live music. Thanks!

  • 5/5 Emily B. 10 months ago on Google
    This place was amazing! An absolute must try for all food lovers. The atmosphere is incredible and our waiter (i believe named Kis Z) was incredible at giving food and drink recommendations. We loved the lamb and brisket as well as the hummus platter. You must try at least these three items. The yemen style chicken was also amazing. The vibes in this restaurant are unmatched and I love the variety of culture represented in their food. Definitely do not pass on the cocktails either. The pitchers and lemonade look incredible. 100000/10

  • 5/5 Lai A. 10 months ago on Google
    Wonderful night! Very beautiful restaurant with relax atmosphere. Fusion Israel food is very delicious. We asked staff Kohari K. for the suggestion for food and wine. She was so professional and introduced wine pairing with chicken and lamb which was fantastic. Very warm smile and great service. We also ordered Jerusalem cheesecake at the end. This make our last night in this Budapest trip enjoyable. 😊 thank you

    Betti was enthusiastic and was very knowledgeable about the dishes and drinks. The food was absolutely delicious and the atmosphere was highly enjoyable. They also had a live band, which positively added to the experience. I highly recommend this restaurant!

  • 5/5 Ivan L. 10 months ago on Google
    Very cosy yard, live music and authentic Jewish dishes, a must-visit if you're in Budapest. The popularity of this place is well deserved but results in queues at the entrance. Still, it's great that they find seats for people that come without booking ahead. Service is very friendly but don't expect much attention - they have lots of people to serve.

  • 4/5 Nicole D. 9 months ago on Google
    Beautiful restaurant with a diverse menu, with a focus on authentic Israeli flavours. We tried the sweet potato fries, hummus bowl with chicken, tabbouleh salad, and beef grill plate, and all were delicious! Slightly disappointing service; it took a while for someone to take our order and the food took about 25 minutes. May have been an exception, given all the positive reviews on service. Overall, definitely worth a visit!

  • 5/5 Gayle N. 9 months ago on Google
    Easily the best meal we have had in Budapest. Service by Kalam was exceptional. He was knowledgeable, friendly and attentive. The venue is beautiful, tucked away on a side street, you will find a restaurant nestled in a tranquil "forest-like" setting. The food is fantastic, the selection is great and we indulge thoroughly. Lovely little play area for the little humans too. Mazel Tov is a must visit in Budapest.

  • 5/5 Astha B. 9 months ago on Google
    This was my first stop once I checked into Budapest. The restaurant is just so pretty! We went around 3 pm so found a table easily. The staff was quick to take the orders and get us our food. I went for a chickpea lentil salad and it was delicious. We. Also got zaatar sticks and they were good as well. I would love to go back some day :)

  • 5/5 Lyndon M. 9 months ago on Google
    I came here with my partner for our 5 year anniversary while we were visiting Europe. Easily the best hummus and schwarma I’ve ever had. The service was so lovely as well, and the setting wrapped everything together. Would highly recommend for anyone to get a booking

  • 5/5 Carrie C. 9 months ago on Google
    The restaurant was beautiful inside! Our family shared several different dishes from the menu and everything was delicious! Definitely the best falafel I have ever eaten! Our server was also extremely attentive and helpful! I would definitely recommend a dinner at Mazel Tov if you’re in Budapest!

  • 5/5 lisa k. 9 months ago on Google
    Food was amazing. We didn't have reservations but going later in the evening helped. Staff are initially energetic and food comes out fast. However, after the mains, we had to wait a while before a staff member could cone and take our orders for dessert. The Jerusalem cheesecake- definitely try it!

  • 5/5 hope d. 9 months ago on Google
    Live music, great food, attentive staff. I cannot fault this place, we stopped off here after the grand prix quite late hoping to get a table, we were seated within 20 minutes. The chicken soup was incredible, the cocktails are delicious and the atmosphere with live music, fairy lights and rustic feel give the perfect environment for a perfect night. Would 100% recommend this place.

  • 5/5 Pavel 6 months ago on Google
    Great Place, great food (smaller portions than expected), very delicious. Staff was very kind and the guys saw the needs we had without us having to ask for more bread. The bread. Oh my goodness. Fresh and yummy. Still warm in the hand almost to hot to hold but such great smell and taste, ohhh. So yeah, 100% recommend you to eat here at least once.

  • 5/5 Anna Phillips P. 7 months ago on Google
    A great dinning experience, Handmade lemonade with variety of flavours very refreshing. Dips humous selection great Main dish of Salmon perfectly done. Waitress recommendations good choices Music and setting very tasteful and rustic A place worth visiting

  • 5/5 Inga H. 6 months ago on Google
    Such a beautiful place with such a positive atmosphere! Even though we were lucky, you definitely better book a table, as this place is very popular - rightly so, because the staff is extremely friendly and the food tastes wonderful. There is also a great selection for vegetarians. Can recommend the cheesecake, I think it’s the best I‘ve ever had.

  • 5/5 Sarah S. 7 months ago on Google
    This restaurant was hands down the best culinary experience we had in Budapest. Situated in the heart of the artistic Jewish quarter, it had an amazing interior design with lots of plants and cute lights. There were also two musicians that greatly contributed to the atmosphere. The food was also amazing - from the starters to the desert. Of course we had some of their intriguing cocktails which were also perfect. The service and all the waiters were also impeccable. I would absolutely recommend it to anyone and if I return to Budapest someday, Mazel Tov would be on my list for sure!

  • 5/5 Brian K. 6 months ago on Google
    Wow, what a great time! Definitely recommend to make reservations to avoid waiting in line! Although there was a line but they were fast to seat their customers, the wait for us was about 20 minutes. Food was delicious, I would say I ate a little bit too much! We started with Falafel Hummus Plate, and then the main course we had the Chicken Shawarma and soup.

  • 5/5 Preetam N. 7 months ago on Google
    Delicious Israeli food. I loved my Shakshuka but the beef patty was even better. The highlight of our meal were the sweet potato fries which were out of this world delicious. Don't miss that one if you're dining here!

  • 5/5 Tina R. 8 months ago on Google
    Very modern design, lots of plants inside. The food was exceptional 👌🏻 😋 🙌 👏🏻 Our waiter was very friendly and polite and made some good recommendations to us. The quality of the food was excellent. I had the cheesy cauliflower for starter and chicken for main. The four of us shared a chocolate brownie and a cheesecake. I had a lemonade and a fruity beer. Both were really nice 👌🏻

    Whether you're looking for a casual lunch, a vibrant dinner with friends, or a memorable evening out, Mazel Tov Restaurant offers an exceptional culinary experience. With its inviting ambiance, diverse menu, and attentive service, it provides a memorable escape into the world of Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisine right in the heart of Budapest.

  • 5/5 John P. 7 months ago on Google
    Absolutely superb! The interior is beautiful, and yet, despite its size, still manages to feel intimate. The Yemeni sous vide chicken was one of the best things I have eaten in a while. From the moment the plate was put down and the smell hit me, I was in heaven. In fact, it was so good, we have reserved a table on Thursday before we leave and I know what we will be ordering 😊

  • 4/5 Alexandra M. 5 months ago on Google
    Very cool spot! The atmosphere is unique and I enjoyed the live music. Food and cocktails were on the pricey side and I was a little disappointed with my salmon as it was a bit bland. But the hummus plate was a delicious starter! I would go back in the future and try a different main dish.

  • 5/5 Stacey M. 5 months ago on Google
    I recently had the pleasure of dining at Mazel Tov in Budapest, and I can't say enough good things! The decor was stunning, with a relaxed yet trendy feel, with live music. Now the food. Oh my, it was out of this world! Each dish was a delightful explosion of flavours that left my taste buds dancing. I can't recommend their dishes enough - they were absolutely delicious. In summary, the food was scrumptious, the atmosphere was chilled, the service was impeccable, and the prices were just icing on the cake.

  • 5/5 Crystal G. 6 months ago on Google
    Delicious food, good cocktails and a lovely, dreamy interior decor with friendly staff and feel good vibes. They also sometimes have great live music! I try to pop by this place every time I visit the city and it never disappoints. Be aware though that it is extremely popular and crowded so expect to wait for a table if you go at peak times

  • 5/5 Kelsey B. 5 months ago on Google
    Absolutely loved this gorgeous oasis in Budapest!! Great food. Plenty of vegetarian options. Amazing ambience. Plus the fresh produce in the drinks! Would 100% recommend to anyone traveling here

  • 5/5 Evie K. 4 months ago on Google
    Our favourite restaurant in Budapest! Such a lovely atmosphere with plants, fairy lights and a live band. The food was the best I've had in a very long time! You must try the slow roasted lamb with polenta and pickled onions. Absolutely delicious!

  • 5/5 Diana S. 4 months ago on Google
    This place is very beautiful. The food did not disappoint either, it was delicious. We did not make a reservation and still got a table without waiting even though we went at around 7pm. But after we sat at our table, a line formed in front of the restaurant so i think it’s better to make a reservation before going just to be sure.

  • 5/5 Zeljko R. 4 months ago on Google
    This place is amazing! Reminds me of Israel, the food is delicious, the service is professional, but beyond professional, amazing. Prices are very affordable, basically you get Michelin star food and service for normal price. We will definitely return here!

  • 5/5 Backpacker_ B. 3 months ago on Google New
    Peter was our server tonight! I told him it was my friends birthday and he blessed her with a free drink. The food was 10/10 and the staff were excellent. By far the best food I’ve have in Budapest for the price. Definitely recommended!!

  • 3/5 Lauren H. 3 months ago on Google New
    Wasn't terribly impressed if I'm honest. So many members of staff just standing around and took someone about 15mins to come to us for an order. The cocktails we had were well made, but I wouldn't go back unfortunately

  • 5/5 Jamie C. 5 months ago on Google • 2 reviews
    Some of the best food I’ve eaten in Europe. The atmosphere and decor of this place is incredible, and the service was second to none. My only regret is that I couldn’t try more things off the menu because there was no room left in my stomach.
