We arrived on saturday at 13:00 waiter said there is no table. But finally found 1 for me and my friend. I ordered salmon, with paprika risotto. The salmon was extremely dry, but I liked the risotto. I do not suggest to visit this place on weekends during lunch time, only if you want to wait 40-50 minutes for the food. The waiters are quite mean. The food not cheap.
Thanks

We had to wait 1 hour and 12 minutes for the food. At that point the burger was cold (and not very tasty), pork and goose liver were "OK", but definitely not good at a price level which is about 50% above average.

This restaurant is associated with the Villa Hotel right inside Nagyerdei Park. Must be a hit or miss restaurant because I had excellent food and a good experience with the wait staff, clearly from reviews some people don't. Excellent outdoor Seating area allows one to enjoy a beautiful evening. When I was there a duo, guitar and female singer, were outside entertaining the diners and the music choices were excellent, both English and Hungarian songs, and at the right decibel level that one could easily converse. The food was superbly flavored, hot and tasty. The only negative is probably a typical one for Americans in that the staff wait a long wait to get you your check as it is customary to allow one to sit and enjoy and digest a while before departing.

Pretty sure Ghandi would go ham on this Naan. Holy smokes. Got the curry mushrooms. Crazy good. Dip the naan in that sauce and you’ll be living large. Also tandoori chicken. Yowza. This place is awesome. Service is slightly annoying but the food is worth the wait.

I was there with my wife twice for dinner.
Very special, small restaurant. The design is very beautiful and intimate. The service is very good. The dishes are big and so tasty and full of flavour. there are traditional Hungarian dishes. I very much recommend the goulash soup. The prices are so cheap.
We ordered:
The flaska plate for two - it was very big and satisfying.
Broth served with homemade liver dumplings and homemade semolina dumplings - nice clean soup with dumplings
Túróczy knuckle noodles
fried and steamed in the oven with sheep cheese, parsley buttered potatoes and fries - Very good and tender
Cooked-smoked ham slices strapachka bed, oven baked cheese served pan - Very good and tasty

The first time we had visited the Csokonai restaurant was about 15 years ago, this was our go to place for a good steak. Returning now, many years later, we have found the same delicious food, modern decor and courteous staff. Make sure you try the Csokonai steak but be sure to leave space for the desert!

Their standard of service is outstanding. Friendly service, delicious kitchen, flexibility towards our needs and ideas, acceptable prices and I can only recommend their local musicians (TZ). If you want a taste of authetic hungarian dinning and music, this restaurant and accomodation is a must..
