Ordered first time yesterday, cabbage rolls are the finest thing in life that i've missed the most since my mother in law passed several years ago. This food took me right back, done to perfection. I absolutely loved their food and will definitely be a regular. The most hospitable and friendly people you've ever met accompanied by beautiful cakes you've never tried.

Accidentally discovered this place on the way to a nearby gym equipment store, and what a surprise! Best meal experience on our trip to Melbourne.
Owners have a great sense of humour and make some fantastic food. The beans were the best I’ve ever had, and the spicy sausages and chivapia were fantastic (spicy sausage especially).
Will be back and dragging people with me.
I wish I took more photos, I forgot to take pictures prior to tucking in, so all I have is the photo of the empty plate!
Merry Christmas!

This was our first time on a date after covid, and we chose this place at random. Never have we been so pleasantly surprised at the quality of food, authentic flavours and it was served with a genuine and welcoming smile. Everything was delicious and we found ourselves buying more of the cakes to take home, simply because we didn't have the room in our bellies! Highly recommend the chicken and traditional Mushroom sauce dish, it was wonderfully slow cooked and served with a delightful polenta.
The coffee was smooth and fantastic, and the whole vibe of the place is lively and filled with family

This family owned Hungarian cafe is nothing less than a Awesomeness that happened to us on our visit to a nearby lake.
From Food to Coffee to Chai to Parties, everything that was ordered was Bang-on. For newbies a two words of suggestion:
Mix Grill A La Transylvania Must Try
Gives you a peek into beautiful Hungarian home-made sausages
Langos with topping of your choice. This flaky version of their Pizza is Must Try. Unfortunately we couldn't try it as we were almost full but definitely returning.
Family members running the cafe are genuinely very hospitable and friendly and welcoming, definitely

Excellent food and outstanding Hospitality.
Food taste really great. Make sure you book in advance before going . This is next to hallam Coles.
Dont forget to try their cakes; specially Transylvania.
All foods are prepared fresh and hand made. So if you want to try something , when you book , better to inform early itself the food you want to try . This will make sure you get it as they will reserve it for you
