Ersinan CsávosiAugust 3, 2015This place is a little touristy but the food is authentic. If you have to choose one Hungarian place to try, go here. But gets packed for dinner so avoid the rush by going earlier. Super friendly staf

Bambi BrettJuly 17, 2018Food was excellent! Brilliant for vegaterian's and meat eaters! A big group of us came here twice. Be prepared to queue, but totally worth it and cheap! Staff friendly too the cheese soup was amazingUpvote4Downvote- Gabriel De GrandisJanuary 24, 2016Cosy place, good value food! Not the best goulash I've ever had but the Langosh was pretty good! Give it a try! Photo: Classic and beef Langosh

gaborJune 23, 2016The waiters are rowdy and do not care to give you an extra plate or a spoon. If you are with kids doors can be shut at your face. The owner old me chose another restaurant from next time.Upvote1Downvote

Regina BorosSeptember 14, 2017hi everybody, i am a local and this place is not authentic, in Hungary nobody eats the meals you can get here. There is no "gulyas langos" it's a creation for tourists. Just sayin...UpvoteDownvote
Jayphen SimpsonApril 22, 2017Great food and cheap for this area, but the service is pretty hit and miss. They forgot our meal for 40 minutes and didn't acknowledge it! Still will probably come back...UpvoteDownvote

Kevin WangJuly 1, 2019You can expect mediocre food and very bad service. Even for a cheap eat, I would not come here given the poor experience. I cannot stress how poor the service was - both rude and inattentive.Upvote1Downvote
