If you're expecting delicious, healthy, home-cooked European food from this place, you'll be disappointed. I grew up on Slavic food and I can definitely say that the food they call “Hungarian” has nothing in common with the original. For some reason, the owners think that adding a lot of fat and a lot of salt makes food automatically becomes Slavic. Ready-made soups from Safeway are of higher quality and half the price. I also felt cheated when, after half the food was left on my plate, I had to pay $30 for a child's portion. It felt like a scam, so I'll never go back.

Everything we ate was so perfectly made. It felt like we were eating at a Hungarian moms dinner table; delicious and heart-warming!

Delicious homemade Hungarian comfort food. Fair warning the menu is the selection of 2-3 dishes (per course) made that day and it's authentically central European so perhaps not the most vegetarian friendly. The store also a lovely selection of Hungarian and German groceries, confectionary, and drinks.

This charming Eastern European cafe offers a delightful assortment of delectable treats. The proprietor, who arrived in America 24 years ago, is a true embodiment of the American dream. The array of scrumptious baked goods and desserts she offers is truly remarkable. I had the pleasure of indulging in the chocolate rum cake, and it was simply exquisite. Without a doubt, a return visit is essential to sample the other delectable dishes on offer.

Why doesn’t this restaurant have a line out the door? First time visiting and I could literally slap myself for not going sooner.INCREDIBLE flavors and super friendly service. We dined in, but take out is also available. Additionally, homemade desserts and other Hungarian & Central European sweets/snacks/condiments/wines and beer are readily available to purchase in display cases.Go check it out when you’re ready to experience food from the hands of a kitchen goddess. Kind of serious!

The food is superb. Flavors I haven't tasted since my German/Hungarian grandmother was alive some 40 years ago. I've been really craving this type of real home cooked meal but don't have the skills or knowledge to pull it off. The owner is very helpful and offered us tastes of dishes we weren't familiar with. Last night we ordered the sauerkraut stew w German potato salad and beef goulash with spatzle. Today I came back for the cabbage rolls and they were so good I took an order to go for my daughter. I look forward to returning and trying other dishes. The restaurant is casual and colorful and very clean. I'm so grateful to have such a special place so close by.

The owner is never in a good mood. Despite that, the food is always tasty. Sadly, the mood of the owner keeps me away.

This place is old school and unique. The atmosphere is very comforting. For me it's like visiting my Grandma's house. It's full of homy touches. The food is authentic, homemade, and delicious. The ladies who work there are very friendly and make you feel welcome. I humbly suggest the cabbage rolls. They remind me of spending the night at my Grandma's and getting old world comfort food. This place is perfect for people who love eastern European cuisine or want to have an authentic experience .

First time here like any other place very clean down to earth home country restaurant very clean do you walk and you feel like you're at home the food is good. The service is great. The lady that was helping me show me all the food and talked about each one which I found interesting, I had the goulash and that was delicious. Can't wait to go back to try the schnitzel if you want a good German and Hungarian food this is the didn't get to take a picture Cuz that food was good. Was it going to take a picture of a empty plate?

Looking for a home cooked meal? Then, this is the place. We had everything.. almost.... on the menu, and everything was delicious.Everything was handmade and had my German daughter in law's approval.It was very accommodating, as we had our 15 month old girl twins with us.Definitely recommend if you're looking for a home cooked meal.
