    Really enjoyed the atmosphere. Respectful of social distancing a big plus. Enjoyed the food and presentation. Sword of meat says for 4 but plenty for 6.

    Uneatable greasy cartilage, could neither be cut with knives nor chewed , sold as traditional food. Unfortunately my Photos dont seem to be allowed here [Fotos show how we tried and what was left over.] Therefore very expensive. Despite being a professional tourist trap service ist unable to speak Englisch - until the bill arrives.... The "traditional beers" origin in Czech Republik, Belgium and Germany... I only can imagine where the 4 to 5 star ratings come from. While beeing there a football match was shown on TV and a band performed very high-pitched over-amplified traditional music. Will never ever see me again.

    I loved the ambiance of this place. Good authentic Romanian food. We tried the butcher's special which says it's for 2 but could really feed 4. Also got the sarmale (cabbage rolls) which were amazing. They could not split the bill down the middle though which was annoying.

  • 2/5 Eduard C. 4 years ago on Google
    A very nice place in terms of how it is arranged, but in my opinion, a little bit overrated! The food is at the level of a cheep local. I have ordered a traditional soup and a fish file, nothing complicated, but I have eaten them, because I was very hungry, after 6 hours of driving. Also the buttlers, are not at the level of how they are promoting the restaurant. (Sour faces and grumpy) Not a place where I would go for the second time!

    (Translated by Google) A place with tavern perfume, (cigarette smoke is missing), with friendly staff. Eat well and cheaply (2 dishes plus one beer for 4 people: 200 lei). I recommend ...

  • 4/5 gosicall 1 year ago on Google
    The food was tasty. Unfortunately, it was served in such a way that I and my husband could not eat together (first I got my soup. When I finished,my husband got his meal and when he was finishing, I got my second dish) - so a big minus for that!

  • 5/5 Andrew G. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing place! Fantastic open hall which really had the feeling of a German drinking hall. Food was a good mix of traditional Romanian food. Excellent local music which was made better with peope getting up to dance. Music was very loud so made talking hard. Only negative was that it was a smoking venue (smoky inside, although saw noone actually smoking!) Definitely recommend.

  • 5/5 Emer O. 1 year ago on Google
    Great fun. Authentic food. Romanian music and full of locals. Loved it. Highly recommend of you're in Craoiva

  • 5/5 Adrian Barbu I. 1 year ago on Google
    This restaurant is, maybe, the best option in town for a "tradition Romanian" meal. The products are of good origin/quality and well cooked. The restaurant is pretty big, the music is at good levels, not to bother when you have a conversation. There is also a well ventilated smoking room. The service is very good, the waiters are professionals and nice. The prices are perfectly reasonable for the meal/services they offer. Overall, a very pleasant experience to have, totally recommended.

    Went to a wedding there...food was quite good! Personnel was very nice. The smoking area was a little bit far away from the upper floor! So if you wanted to smoke you had to pass throu the other event happening on the first floor.

    A place to eat good food. If you go with your friends then you will have a nice ambiance. If you plan to stay late in night to eat and maybe drink, think again. This place close at 12.00 pm. It is also better to negociate exactly what you need to eat or drink when you go with a large group.

    (Translated by Google) Very nicely located location in the center of Craiova, right next to me. I ordered sarmale. Very good.
