I'm going to try take the emotional element of being served by an endearing nan out of this review, as often I find these to be misleading when it comes to the food itself. I only noticed the foreigners coming for the Langos, all the locals came for other dishes, which is what I'd probably recommend in hindsight.
Her English is poor so I just pointed at things I wanted to try (3 dishes- apologies I dont know the Hungarian names). The Langos was slightly overcooked giving a slightly burnt flavour. The dough was not uniformly rolled, resulting in thicker areas being too soft and doughey, the thinner areas were good though. 3/5 Crumbed beef? patty. Great, full of oniony, garlicky, meaty goodness. So soft and tender. 4.5/5 Macaroni beef stew. A bit spicy, the sauce was tomato based and worked well with the macaroni. The sour cream cuts through the heat which gives it a good balance, very hearty. 4/5

We saw some other locals coming here ordering her Goulash soup! It's a hidden gem which locals probably only know about, it's a bit tricky to get here as well. You can...
Read moreThe best fresh Langos in all of Budapest. So fluffy, so crispy, and so light. I had a simple cheese, sour creme and garlic and it was divine. I wish I had found her on my first day because I would have gone back every day. It was very cheap too. The darling grandmother fried it fresh when I ordered, so when she put the cheese on, it slightly melted. If you only try one Langos during your trip,...
