The red glow of this restaurant is a beacon you should follow for a hearty meal of Hungarian comfort food. The inside is small but cosy, with only two lines of tables against the two walls. On a Thursday night, there were two larger groups tucking into goulash and cabbages rolls. I imagine this place gets busy of the weekends. The service is warm and friendly, happy to explain anything or provide recommendations.
We split a budapest platter for two, pork paprikash, and a somloi galuska for dessert between the three of us. The budapest platter starts with a large cabbage roll, generously stuffed with meat and doused with a light broth. It was one of the best cabbage rolls I've encountered. The platter itself makes an entrance to the table. Two Debreceni sausages perched on top of a Parisian schnitzel, laying on top of a larger Wiener schnitzel, balanced on top of a port chop, resting of a bed of potatoes with a cup of beet salad and rice on each side. It's like a mini mountain with two knives stabbed through to keep it from toppling over. The presentation is impressive. My favourite from this hill of meat is the Parisian schnitzel with a bite of the beet salad. The batter is lighter and less dense but the pork is still moist.
The pork paprikash came with dumplings and a creamy sauce that mixed together perfectly. A great hearty meal even on it's own. The somloi galuska is a their version of a trifle with prominent notes of orange, raisins and plenty of whipped cream on top. A lovely little local restaurant with genuinely great food and warm service.
