Excellent location, in front of the see. Awful service (almost 1h waiting for the food). Don’t expect all fresh, sea food is frozen market one. Poor sides.

Delicious food by the Black Sea, very nice waiters and a great service. I felt like in my grandparents garden. We recommend Cherhana Pontica and we will come back here for sure 🙂

We went in and at first glance it looks very nice,the vibe is very good, but the waiting que is soooo long people were leaving left and right, we only left when they decided to serve a group of people that came way later than us. I understand that there is a shortage in staff but the ones that they have rather pick larger groups than a couple or one person, I think it has something to do with the fact that they think that they are going to make more money if it's a larger group. Anyway not recommending it at all from my personal experience.

Nice location but horrible food... the lobster was so bad .. and the black tiger Gambas was only tasted grilled smoked. The wine is great and the service ok. The best was the salads... big and delicious.. But you find better pleases to eat at the black Ozean.

The food was not tasty. The fish was so dry that we had to drink a zip of water after every bite. Clearly the shrimps were frozen and had no taste. Moreover the prices are to high for the food quality they have. I would not reccomend the place.

Bored waiter. He forgot half of the order after waiting 1+ hour. Good food. High prices.

If you are passing trough Constanta and Mamaia, this place is a must visit. If you want to have a great dinner, a reservation would be ideal. The food is cooked very fresh and the portion sizes are quite large, while the prices are quite fair. Eating here a fish platter with some chilled white wine, on the Black Sea shore is a great experience.

We came invited. Large dishes. Too large Good fish and appetizers. Good and cold beer. A bit on the expensive side ;) Enjoy!

Good offer of food - including Romanian local seafood in a great location!

A rather hidden place if you just pass by but once discovered it is an unexpected location near the sea shore. Great food combined with a great view of the sea.

Trust the bad reviews. They are so true.Avoid if you can. The food is below average. The fish is not fresh, super dried, it almost seemed it's heated in a microwave oven. The fries were some of the worst we ate in Mamaia.The server is pushing food and wine that he wants to sell. The smell of bathroom at our table was overwhelming. The charge contained items we did not order All in all, a horrible experience. We will not return, nor will we recommend it to anyone ever.

Never come back again. Dry, old fish and burned squid rings…. Many thanks to waitresses, they really tried to make our visit better.

great location, good food. Its not as expensive as others cherhanas on the seaside and most likely just as good. Will definately come back next year.

The food it's not amazing, plain taste, but indeed large portions. The staff should be better trained on how to relationate with the guests, they looked a bit annoyed on having guests and tired (it was the beginning of summer and only 3 tables:))). Definately I will not come back as I'm sure there are better fish restaurants than this one.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Cherhana Pontica in Mamaia, and one dish that truly stood out to me was the "Palamida cu legume la plita" (Grilled Mackerel with Vegetables). The experience was nothing short of delightful, and I was thoroughly impressed by the quality of both the food and the service. The first thing that caught my attention upon entering Cherhana Pontica was the charming and cozy ambiance. The restaurant is beautifully decorated with nautical elements, creating a relaxed and inviting atmosphere. The staff was warm and welcoming, making me feel right at home from the moment I stepped inside. When I ordered the Palamida cu legume la plita, I had high expectations, and I must say, I was not disappointed. The dish arrived at my table looking incredibly appetizing. The grilled mackerel was perfectly cooked, with a crispy skin and tender, juicy flesh. The flavors were balanced and harmonious, allowing the natural taste of the fish to shine through. The accompanying vegetables were sautéed to perfection, adding a vibrant and fresh element to the dish. Each bite was a delightful combination of textures and flavors. The portion size was generous, ensuring that I left the restaurant feeling completely satisfied. The presentation of the dish was also noteworthy, with attention given to every detail. It was evident that the chef took great pride in their culinary creations, and it truly enhanced the overall dining experience. In addition to the exceptional food, the service at Cherhana Pontica was impeccable. The staff was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu. They were more than willing to provide recommendations and answer any questions I had, further enhancing my dining experience. Overall, my experience at Cherhana Pontica Mamaia was outstanding, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience in Mamaia.

Food delicious, very calming&relaxing atmosphere. Great place for kids. We enjoyed a late lunch on the beach, the kids stayed in the sand playing the whole time. A great choice foelr a Sunday gettaway with children! Strongly recommend! Keep up the good work!

Amazing food, best one by far

Good food, fresh food ( i had "storgeac de sturion" and "rapane in white wine".

Location right on the beach. Various sea food from where you can choose from. I give 4 stars because our fish was too much fried. Prices higher than medium

Ate the best fish in town for a good price. Super fresh, crunchy skin and super tender inside. The service was good. Recommended us only what was made in-house.

A good place to eat fish snd seafood. Tasty.

Location, service and how fish / seafood was prepared : just excellent!

We ordered a 1.5 kg Black Sea fish platter and was very disappointed. The fishes were not cleaned properly and thus were not tasty. Location is nice though

Good food,music and all others

First of all, nice location by the sea. The menu offers a large variety of fish (Danube or Black Sea as well as ocean fish) and seafood. We went for dinner and ordered four different items. Amm were very good, fresh and properly cooked. Yhe beverages selection was very good, mostly regional amd from other areas of the counyry. The service was also good. Definitely a place to recommend!
