Can't say enough good things! The service was outstanding and the beef stew was just like my Hungarian grandmother used to make. It brought back many fond memories. We will definitely be back!

Being half Magyar, and having been raised on my mother's Hungarian cooking, it's not easy to impress me. The food is 100% legit authentic. We had the stuffed cabbage, chicken paprika and stew. All staples of a true Hungarian home, and all tasted like Gabi...Read More

An absolute gem!!! We wandered in yesterday with no reservation and a rather large party, fully expecting a wait — instead, we were welcomed with open arms. To say they accommodated us would be an understatement. Within minutes, we were shown to a private room where...Read More

Really delicious Hungarian food in a nicely decorated modern restaurant. The waiter (owner?) was very friendly and explained the menu choices to us. He also brought us wines to taste. Overall, a great experience.

Fantastic Hungarian food, to my knowledge the only restaurant in Los Angeles. Started with soup, we each got a different one and both were delicious! I got the brassoi and my friend the chicken paprika, both fantastic and authentic. A must try.
