Customer Review Summary
Romanian barbecue and grilled meats draw the most consistent praise, with several reviewers singling out the lamb chops as the standout dish and calling it, more broadly, the best Romanian food they've had in the area. Reasonable prices come up favorably in the same breath as the meats. Beneath that, opinions split sharply. One reviewer flags the fries as a letdown, calling them "the problem," while another describes being charged two different prices for the same order across two visits and calls the pricing misleading. Cleanliness draws separate complaints, with the surrounding neighbourhood and the restaurant itself described as dirty and in need of better upkeep. A single reviewer reports a case of food poisoning after eating dinner there, describing feeling very sick afterward, though this account stands alone rather than reflecting a wider pattern. Several shorter reviews simply affirm strong satisfaction with the food overall, without further detail.
