Really enjoyed our meal, the excellent and welcoming service and ambiance. Pea soup with mint was gorgeous, duck breast and salmon mains delicious. Portions are generous, so sadly no space left for pudding. Probably the best meal we had in Transilvania but then again the most expensive. However by U.K. standards amazing value!

A very cosy establishment, friendly service, and very good food although a bit pricy.Anyhow, I felt cheated, because I ordered a traditional dish : VENISON GOULASH, but I got regular beef goulash, although tasty, but even though deceiving customers, and taking them for fools, you can do only once.Pity !!

Just had dinner at âA Camponezaâ. Been lucky enough to be there on a relatively quiet night, just a few scattered tables occupied, but reservations would be recommended.Besides their particularly huge sea food skewers (which were delicious) I have tasted the best red tuna steak I have ever had. Cooked to perfection, juicy, tender, tasty. My advice is to taste it as is, before using any of the sauces that accompany the dish. You might not want to spoil it. The service was prompt and always with a smile, the complementary Porto Wine in the end was a nice touch.Speaking of wines, they have a wide selection of Portuguese wines, but you should try Vino Verde, which is specific exclusively to this country (it is a kind of proseco light wine, but it goes great with sea food and fish).

Food is really great, from sandwiches to burgers, cakes and stews. Also, you can find Kilkenny beer here, which is pretty rare. Atmosphere is nice and cozy in general, with smiling and kind staff.Great place to watch Liverpool FC games as well!

This restaurant has the best waiters in town, very friendly, polite_ professional behaviour . Although, i think this is not a place for families even if they have kids chairs. in the evening there were many doubtful people, one of them with dirty hair, face bruised, drugged, two other lesbian women at 50 kissing .Heey! Thanks for the appreciations regarding our staff! Regarding the people visiting Makeba - our belief is WE ARE ALL ONE! That means everyone is welcome @ Makeba!

The single place in Cluj that serves breakfast, from all that I have tried, that knows how to properly cook a poached egg (no runny egg whites). The 'Turkish Eggs' were definitely a surprise.
