About the place
The restaurant is on Maica Domnului Street in the Tei district, about 650 m from Tei Park. It started as a kiosk in 1991, run by the same family company ever since, and grew into a neighbourhood restaurant open all year, with a quiet garden and a summer terrace.
The cooking is Romanian, slow-cooked in cast-iron pots: sarmale with polenta, sour soups, stews, smoked ham hock with beans, mici and, for dessert, papanași or pancakes. On weekdays there is a set lunch menu. It holds 4.8 on Google from more than 6,000 reviews; guests praise the home-cooked taste, the portions and the staff, while some say service is slow at peak times.
