Budapest Dining Room & Tavern - London

Friendly service, a comfortable atmosphere with red velvet curtains and homemade tasting Hungarian food served by a staff with charming accents transports you to an authentic European fare experience. I was out for dinner with a co-worker. As we couldn't decide what to have, we went with the Celebration Platter for two. The meal started off with an excellent, vibrantly flavorful cabbage and sausage soup - which tasted like a hearty soup version of Polish Bigos (Hunter's Stew.) We then each indulged in a generous Hungarian-style Wiener Schnitzel, a piece of Chicken Paprikash, tender dumplings (Spaetzle,) Hungarian Debreceni sausage, fried potatoes and stuffed cabbage rolls. Growing up in family and neighborhood steeped in European cooking tradition, you can trust me when I say everything was excellent and flavorful. The meal ended with apple and cherry strudel and Hungarian coffee (like an Italian espresso, with liquor and a frothy foam top in a sugar rimmed glass mug.) If I lived in London, I would be a regular. Thank you for a great dinner.

Met some family there for my sister's birthday dinner. We had the three course special they had on and have no complaints. The service was fast and courteous. The meal was excellent and liked that they had some live music playing. Highly recommend if you want to have some authentic Hungarian food.

My dinner tonight (Goulash, Stroganoff, Cabbage Roll) Cabbage Soup and Cherry Strudel was better than any in eleven (11) countries (including Hungary) in the past year. They're celebrating their 60th anniversary this weekend and they have a bright future ahead if they continue to serve food like this! I can't wait to return.

As soon as we stepped into this restaurant, I felt automatically transported to Eastern Europe.

I arrive 40 minutes before closing hours and waaaay underdressed.
