    Absolute tourist trap. One of the dishes were basically rotten, had an extremely bad smell, the waiter told us they can't smell it as they're sick (probably COVID), and tried to convince us that the chef tasted it and it was OK. It was removed from the bill, but the total was still about 40k HUF for 4 soups, 1 starter, 2 mains and 4 drinks. The food otherwise was average, definitely not worth the price. I can't really recommend the place, as serving rotten food is anything but OK.

    Nice place to have dinner, the Gulyas and the cirkepaprika were good, but I rate this with 4* because portions could be more generous. The staff was really friendly, they offered us a palinka as they didn't have enough of the dishes we wanted, with a big one for my fiancée and I as it was our bachelor/ette party!

    The place is living off of the good ratings and photos of the restaurant of the same name that was here before. The current restaurant looks nothing like the one on the photos from 2+ years ago, the menu is different, the food is worse, there is less space and overall a much worse experience for more money than previously. The service was nice enough and it’s not their fault that the place is a scam.

    The food was good, the interior was nice and that's where the positives end. At most, the waitress's attitude makes you want to quickly run away and find another place. Lack of basic knowledge that, for example, soup is served before the main course, and not all at the same time, and after paying attention to this obvious fact, reheating a great mangalica in... a microwave. The waitress who served today should take a few days off since her job causes her as much pain as her face shows. Maybe a tip that wasn't imposed but depended on the customer would make them try harder? To sum up, the Chef need to be increased and the waiters need to be replaced.

    Our favourite restaurant during the stay in Budapest. The portions are huge at a decent price (and you can always ask for a smaller portion for 70% of the price!). The lovely home-made lemonade is a mix of lemon, orange and basil which is super refreshing and you can order a half a liter of it. The service was really nice too, answering all the questions we had about the dishes.

    I had really bad experience in this place when I tried having lunch there as this restaurant was one of the few ones opened around the holiday season in our office area. I have ordered Viennese schnitzel and the potato salad was half-boiled so that it was crunchy. I should have sent the dish away but I was in a rush because I had to get back to work. Hours later I am still having horrible stomach pains after I have taken few stomach pills. Also the concept of the very dark unisex bathroom with one cubicle per each sex is quite strange - I waited 15 minutes outside of the Ladies door which was locked and nobody came out, so I went back to my table.

    What a fantastic little find! This is a lovely restaurant that serves a good variety of dishes, including traditional Hungarian foods done to a high quality standard. The staff are very proficient and friendly, and everyone seemed to be enjoying their visit - from solo diners to families with young children. Definitely worth a visit if you’re nearby and looking to eat!

    Excellent local restaurant during our visit to Budapest. Filled mainly with locals for a lunch hotspot. Excellent prepared dishes paired with incredible Hungarian wines. Fair pricing, friendly & helpful staff. Highly recommend a stop!

    This food is absolutely amazing - if you're in Hungary, I highly recommend that you eat here if you are looking to dine on Hungarian food. Get the goulash as a starter and whatever the waitress recommends as a main!! You won't regret it!

    Dryest wiener schnitzel I've ever had and I did not enjoy it at all. Everything else was quite good, including the pork knuckle. Service was on the slow side.

    (Translated by Google) I have never eaten meat so well cooked. The service was very nice, the waiter translated the menu into English from the beginning to the end and wished us a tasty meal in Polish. Unforgettable experience: D (Original) Nigdy nie jadłem tak dobrze przyrządzonego mięsa.

    Outstanding traditional Hungarian food! Everything was delicious, the food, drinks and the service. Our waitress Melania was really helpful and was there for all our queries. Couldn’t recommend it any more. Good prices and lots of traditional Hungarian food. We initially were going to the restaurant next door but changed our mind after reviewing menu.

    This place is wonderful! The menu is offered in many languages including English. The items are uniquely Hungarian! The staff was so friendly and recommended many of the dishes we ate. Being a bit adventurous is a good mindset to have when visiting as all the dishes my family and I had where not conventional American fare but insanely tasty nonetheless. Try the goose liver!

    (Translated by Google) Very nice place. The prices for the center are quite - a portion of goulash (universal gauge) 1800 forints. Tasty goulash, for the second I took lecho with sausages - I almost burst. In general, the main dishes are quite. (Original) Очень неплохое место. Цены для центра вполне - порция гуляша (универсальный измеритель) 1800 форинтов. Гуляш вкусный, на второе брал лечо с колбасками - чуть не лопнул. В целом вторые блюда - весьма.

    Found this place close to airbnb I was staying at when searching for authentic Hungarian food. This restaurant offers traditional Hungarian dishes, exactly what I was looking for! Goulash was outstanding and very satisfying, so was the steak. Portions were enough to share for two. Prices are reasonable, and staff was very helpful, offered menus in various languages.

  • 5/5 Madi E. 5 years ago on Google

  • 1/5 Christian B. 4 months ago on Google
    After having a great time in the city we searched for a great place for dinner and headed for this restaurant. Went in and been looked at like unpleasend. Ordered three times a goulash soup and chicken paprikash. First of all the dishes were served > 30 min after we ordered. I received mine 10 min earlier than the others, in between several other tables were served. My goat cheese sauce was not even detectable by eye, maybe a little bit by taste. After our first round of beer, we had to switch to bottled beer due to some technical difficulty, wich was sad to us 20 min after we ordered the second round. Unfortunatly that time was the first time I regreted to pay a fixed service bill, because their was no service at all. Unfriendly waitress chatting around her colleagues with all the work being done by another, more patient and more polite waitress. For a restaurant for a "higher" standard straight disappointing and the poorest experience at our time in Budapest. No recommendation at all.

  • 2/5 Csongi 4 months ago on Google
    Meat soup was ok. Only I had the weakest “steak” ever: I ordered it medium, but what i received was a rare piece of thin meat of some kind (it wasn’t proper steak meat) drowning in mushroom sauce. I also needed to ask for a normal knife for it. Second time they tried was very well done, like trying to eat a tire. Even for the 9500 huf it was a huge disappointment. Ps.: Asking for feedback from customers could be beneficial for both the waitress and the restaurant.

  • 2/5 J. J. 5 months ago on Google
    Had dinner here for our last night in Budapest. The place looks nothing like the photos — it's been completely overhauled to be much more modern, and the menu is wildly different. My partner had the pork knuckle - which was ok, and the portion was generous. My dish, however — the wiener schnitzel, was inedible. Firstly, the design of the dish is flawed: it's breaded meat with plain fried potatoes and a potato salad. All carbs. Not a lot of flavour. Instead of being tender, the veal was tough and chewy and had shrunk so much in the process of frying that I had several bites of only empty breading. I had to send it back as I couldn't eat 2/3 of the massive piece. What a waste. When I politely let our server know, I was told that the staff had tried the dish before and deemed it fine, and the schnitzel was prepared this morning. Complete brushoff. I recommend staying away from this place as it doesn't seem to live up to what it used to be.

    Delicious hearty food, perfect for winter and excellent service - our waitress was friendly and recommended the duck confit. We also ordered the goulash soup as an entree and the stuffed cabbage. Relaxed and laid back environment, well lit, perfect for small to large groups or date night. They have a paprika sauce which is so good, a real kick. We also tried the lemonade which was refreshing. Great first meal in Budapest :)

  • 4/5 Martina R. 3 years ago on Google
    Delicious food, fair price and nice stuff. The only negative thing is that they don’t have menu in English and they also used cheap chocolate topping for dessert.

  • 5/5 Yong J. 4 years ago on Google
    Had their wrapped cabbage. The pork lard is good helps to balance out the sourness of the cabbage. I think it was good but eating the entire dish was quite hard since it was quite big portion and the cabbage was a little too sour more like sauerkraut. My wife ate grilled fish which was really good. I think it was salmon. Overall with the beer and good atmosphere, it was pleasant a dinner. Good place to try Hungarian food. Waiter was friendly.

    (Translated by Google) Googled in advance which restaurant nearby had classic Hungarian cuisine and came across this restaurant. Very cozy little restaurant, polite and friendly waiter who greeted us directly and brought us to a table. The food came quickly and was delicious. For the starter we had one of the best, if not the best goulash soup I've ever had. The main course didn't have to hide either. The portions were generous. The menu was also available in German. The toilets were not brand new, but clean and tidy. We were very satisfied, would come back and recommend it. (Original) Hatten vorab gegoogelt, welches Restaurant in der Nähe mit klassischer ungarischer Küche aufwarten kann und sind auf dieses Restaurant gestoßen. Sehr gemütliches kleines Restaurant, höflicher und freundlicher Kellner, der uns direkt empfangen und an einen Tisch gebracht hat. Das Essen kam schnell und war köstlich. Zur Vorspeise hatten wir eine der besten, wenn nicht die beste Gulaschsuppe die ich bisher Essen durfte. Auch der Hauptgang brauchte sich nicht verstecken. Die Portionen waren großzügig. Die Speisekarte war auch in Deutsch verfügbar. Die Toiletten waren zwar nicht ganz neu, aber sauber und ordentlich. Wir waren sehr zufrieden, würden wiederkommen und es weiterempfehlen.

    (Translated by Google) Too bad for them. It used to be a great place. We've been here for years. We loved it. When we were here last time, one of the waiters wasn’t just working against the tip with great force, because in the end there was nothing to tip. We came before ordering. It is not often that one is forced to do so. Perhaps the competition built it in to ruin the reputation it gained. I hope this young man is doing his job today and he breaks a stone with eyebrow distortion on the other side of the steppes or weakens a mosquito with his bare hands at the mouth of the Danube. (Original) Kár értük. Régen szuper hely volt. Évekig jártunk ide. Szerettük. Amikor legutóbb itt voltunk, az egyik pincér nem csak a borravaló ellen dolgozott nagy erőkkel, mert végül nem volt mire borravalót adni. Eljöttünk rendelés előtt. Nem sokszor kényszerül ilyet tenni az ember. Talán a konkurencia építette be, hogy rombolja a megszerzett hírnevet. Remélem ma már neki való munkát végez ez a fiatalember és követ tör szemöldöktorzítással a sztyeppék másik felén vagy szúnyogot gyérít puszta kézzel a Duna torkolatánál.

    (Translated by Google) Very good food, great steak and goose liver simply unheard of. For this some local color, the menu is only in Hungarian, but the very helpful staff will translate everything into English. I recommend it for those who want to try something local, definitely worth it. (Original) Bardzo dobre jedzenie, stek z leczo świetny a wątróbka gęsia wręcz niespotykana. Do tego trochę lokalnego kolorytu, menu jedynie w jezyku wegierskim ale bardzo pomocna obsluga wszystko przetlumaczy na angielski. Polecam dla tych, którzy chcą spróbować coś miejscowego, zdecydowanie warto.

    (Translated by Google) Visit to hear that foie gras eats at a reasonable price. If you order foie gras at the same time you are seated, you will be asked by a friendly Japanese owner. The food is not the fancy feeling of combining it with fruit like a tall restaurant, but the foie gras, but of course it is delicious. Foie gras for beer, I was satisfied. (Original) リーズナブルにフォアグラが食べると聞いて訪問。着席と同時にフォアグラ注文すると、日本人かと人懐こい店主に聞かれる。料理は、お高いレストランのようにフルーツと合わせるような洒落た感じじゃなく、庶民風フォアグラですが、もちろん美味しい。ビールにフォアグラ、満足できました。
