| - This was definitely one of the most unique dining experiences I've had - it's more like going over to someone's house for a dinner party who loves to cook rather than going to a restaurant. The proprietor, Alex, is very friendly and talkative and introduces himself upon your arrival. The food is whatever he has decided to prepare for you and comes out in multiple courses served family style. There's definitely more food than can be consumed reasonably, so make sure to save room during the earlier courses for the later courses. At the end, he will provide containers to take leftovers home.
As this was my first experience with Hungarian food, I wasn't sure what to expect, so I was pleased that I enjoyed ALL of the dishes! The restaurant doesn't hold standard hours, so you need to call ahead to make a reservation. When you call, you can provide dietary restrictions, e.g. indicating that you would prefer vegetarian versions of the dishes. If you enjoy wine with dinner, make sure to BYOB. There is no corkage fee.
My only minor complaint with the setup is the waste of styrofoam dishes and plastic utensils, and the fact that it's not as nice to eat with them as compared to real dishes/utensils. Also, just set your expectations properly, don't expect a fancy set up. This is akin to eating in someone's house.
