We took a day trip from Rhode Island just to eat here, and wow — it was so worth it! My friends and I were seriously impressed. Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious, and the drinks plus all the little details were so cute and thoughtfully done. The owner is such a sweetheart — she even gave me some great tips for my upcoming trip to Romania this year, which made the experience feel extra special and personal. We had the best time and will 100% be coming back for more papanși! Highly recommend!

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Overall: medium/good. People looking to go here should know that they give free drinks for reviews. We did like the main entrees Goulash and Hungarian Paprikash (Chicken Spaetzle) as they were cooked well, tender, and with flavorful sauce but the Paprikash was room temperature at best. Service was excellent and the ambience was good cutely decorated for Valentines Day. Cocktails were good (Midnight attack and Peach Burbon Smash). Appetizer of Caseaval cheese was like a glorified Motzerella stick and donut dessert (though nice presentation- on fire) was quite underwhelming. Very unique dining experience.

Our first visit after seeing it all over Facebook. It is decorated wonderfully as Halloween/Christmas inside and outside. The owner and staff are very friendly and service was great. I started with a delicious black cherry margarita and my son had a strawberry lemonade. We shared some BBQ wings as our appetizer. Zak had a HUGE Romanian Burger and fries. I had the Romanian stew which was delicious. Of course for dessert we had to order the Vlad the impaler flaming jelly donuts.
